"Dipper?" Mabel said and Dipper turned his head to look at his sister. "Why aren't you alseep?" She asked concerned and Dipper bit his cheek before whispering: "I had a nightmare and I came here to calm down." He said and Mabel smiled softly. "Alright. And since we're both here, I'd like to apologise. I'm sorry for making you leave with me when you made it clear you were happy there." She said and Dipper shrugged his shoulders. "It's fine. I'm not even upset. I understand why you did that. You are my sister and you just wanted to make sure I'm safe." He said and Mabel sat next to him, brought her knees to her chest and hugged them.
"If only it was about that." She said and Dipper tilted his head slightly. "What do you mean?" "I mean, I'm lonely. All of my friends live somewhere else and have fabulous lives. I left my husband. Well, he was kind of a jerk, so that wasn't that bad. And now back to the point. I don't have anyone. I mean, you're the only family I have left and I just couldn't stand the thought of losing you too. Our parents hate me with a passion after I told them about my sexuality, so do the rest of our relatives. Except for Stan and Ford, who are dead. My son hates me, because I'm a crappy parent. You're the only one that doesn't hate me and I just couldn't accept that you would leave me someday to live your own life." Mabel said and she put her chin on her knees.
"Well I never planned to completely leave you. I always tried to find a way to convince Bill to let me visit you from time to time. It took me 10 years, but I did it..." "And this ruined everything." Mabel finished for him and Dipper nodded. "I mean for now. I'll convince him again, eventually. He's stubborn but he loves me too much to say no to me forever." He added and Mabel asked: "How can you know he loves you?"
"Well, I can see it in his eyes. They just light up when he looks at me. And the way he smiles at me. It's so real and you can see that he means it. It's like in those romantic books that you love and that make me want to vomit from how sweet they are. And believe me, I've looked through every in his library and he has no romantic books, he only has scientific books, horror books and...gay erotic books, ok, I've said it. Now back to what we were talking about, he couldn't have faked it, especially considering how little understanding he has of feelings. Also he is more disgusted by those chick-flicks than I am. So I don't dare to tell him he lives in one." Dipper said and they both laughed. "I suppose I'll have to try to believe you, especially since he was weirdly nice and affectionate towards you yesterday when I saw you two." Mabel said and Dipper sighed.
"We should go to sleep. It's getting late and we have lots of things to do tomorrow." "Or I could bring some alcohol and we can do some catching up." Mabel said and ran off before Dipper could say anything. "She'll regret this tomorrow." Dipper muttered under his breath as Mabel returned with three bottles of vodka. She set the bottles down and sat next to her brother with her legs crossed. Dipper took one of the bottles and looked down at it as he said: "You intend to get me drunk with this?" "Yes." Mabel said happily and Dipper chuckled: "Well, you'll need more than this to get me drunk. Don't forget I've lived with an alcoholic demon in the past 10 years. I get drunk pretty hard at this point." He said and Mabel smirked. "Well then, I'll gladly bring more." She said and ran off, returning with a few more bottles after a few minutes.
"Is this enough?" She asked and Dipper nodded as he started laughing at how excited his sister is. Happy that she got the right amount of alcohol, she sat down. They both opened a bottle, each, and they started drinking. "Who begins?" Dipper asked and Mabel told him to begin since he clearly had more things to say. "First, you never told me what your job is after all." She said and Dipper stopped humming to say: "Oh, well Bill and I have to go through planets and dimensions and spy them for the Empress of the Underworld. Basically, we need to find a weakness in their system, which she can use to conquer the dimension or planet with as little deaths as possible. That's pretty dangerous considering how outgoing Bill is. But he is also a damn good liar so I guess that makes it even." He finished and took an other sip from his drink.
"Are you still designing clothes?" He asked and Mabel smiled widely as she beamed: "Yes. Actually I'm actually almost finished with my first collection. I just need to knit two more sweaters and I finished it." While she beamed Dipper finished the transparent liquid from his bottle. He set down the empty bottle and took and opened an other bottle. "But do you two even have vacantions?" Mabel asked. "Well, our job is like a continuous vacation so I guess, yeah." "And how do you two get along?" "Eh." Dipper said and took a big gulp from his drink. "Sometimes yes, most of the time, no, but we always solve it." He finsihed and took an other sip as Mabel said: "How?"
And at that, Dipper almost spit his drink. "I won't talk about it." He said faslty and started drinking. "Don't you dare tell me you two solve your problems with angry sex!" Mabel said and Dipper blushed madly as now he actually spit his drink. "No." He said in a small voice and Mabel just glared at him before saying: "Dipper Pines! I am so disappointed with you!" Dipper's face turned a deep shade of red and he started drinking, yet again, hoping it would help him ease up. It didn't work tho.
"But as disappointed I am, I still want to know all the details. So who tops?" Mabel said as she rested her head in her hands. "Don't you think that's a bit..." He began but he stopped trying when he saw the excitement from his sister's face. He sighed and was about to answer, when he had an idea. "I top." He said in the most convincing tone he could pull off, like he was trying not to convince only his sister, but himself that the lie was true. Well, he was trying just that, but that's not the point. "Really?" Mabel asked equally suspicious and surprised. "Yes." He said, maintaining the lie. "And...what is he like in bed?" Mabel squeaked excited and Dipper pun on the most serious face as he said: "Are you sure you wanna know? I mean I wouldn't want to ruin the image he created for himself." He finished with a a smirk and Mabel chuckled. "Does he beg?" She asked and Dipper looked around him before answering: "All the time."
He bit his cheek and after a few seconds of silemce he bursted: "Actually who am I kidding?! He tops and I beg. All the goddamn time. That's it. I said it. And he, clearly, is too upset to care I called him a bottom. And that means we're doomed." He said fastly and Mabel looked perplexed at him. "So you put on all that show just to piss him off and make him come here and show you how much of a bottom you are, because let's be honest that's what he would do." Mabel said after a few minutes of awkward silence. "No. Maybe. Shut up." Dipper said as his sister started giggling. "And sure, he would've done that, but then I could've talked with him and solved our problem. So it's not that bad. Especially considering he's amazing at that." Dipper said and put the bottle to his lips to drink, only to realize it was empty. He put it down with huffle and then opened an other bottle, from which he took a big gulp of alcohol.
"Do I want to know more about that?" Mabel asked as she finished her bottle. "I don't know, but I won't tell you more." "Fine! It's not like I'm judging you for your kinks!" Mabel said and Dipper raised his eyebrows. "Yes, I do have a few kinks, but no where near as many and as weird as Bill. For God's sake!" Dipper said in a defensive manner and Mabel's head perked up with interest. "Do tell, bro-bro!" She said and Dipper smirked. "Nah, he's my boyfriend. I couldn't do that to him." He said and leaned closer to Mabel and whispered: "He's a huge masochist.", which caused Mabel to burst into laughter.
Dipper joined in aswell and then he took a big gulp from his fourth bottle. "But enought about my sex life. Let's talk about yours, since now I'm drunk enough. Of course, if you still have one." He said with a smirk and Mabel rolled her eyes. "Of course I do. I'm dating someone." She said with a proud grin on her face. "Who? Do I know this person?" Dipper asked and Mabel nodded before exclaiming: "I'm dating Pacifica!" "As in Pacifica Northwest?" Dipper asked Mabel nodded as she took the bottle of vodka from her brother's hands and took a sip from it. "Well, we're even now. We both date somebody the other hates with a passion." Dipper said and Mabel glared at him for a second before saying with the biggest grin on her face: "Yeah, me and Pacifica started to really get along after you accidentally turned her into a mermaid all those years ago. So I have to thank you for being so damn clumsy." "Since when do you swear?" Dipper asked and Mabel shrugged her shoulders and changed the subject.
"Now, how about you drop the act and do what we both know you want to do." "And that would be?" Dipper asked and he regreted it as soon as he heard his sister's answer: "Kinkshame your boyfriend. We both know you wanna do it." Dipper was speechless. He couldn't believe that his sister just told him that, but the shock wore off quickly, since he remembered he was talking about Mabel here, after all. And also she was right. He really wanted to kinkshame the shit out of Bill. That guy had really weird kinks for God's sake. "Do you really want me to do that?" Dipper asked and Mabel nodded as she took an other sip from her drink.
"Ok, here I go then. First off, he has way to many kinks. I don't all of them. He doesn't know all of them. A lot of them don't even make sense or are extremely weird. A good example is the fact that one of his kinks is bone cracking." "Wait what?" "Bone cracking. This is one of Bill's kinks. Yes, because that makes perfect sense and it's completely normal." Dipper said, sarcam dripping off his words,as his sister just looked at him horrified. "Your boyfriend is weird." She said and Dipper nodded. "Yeah, an other weird kink he has is that he enjoys the sound you make when you bite a grape." Dipper continued and snatched the bottle from his sister's hand and drank all the alcohol from it. "Hold on," Mabel began,"the sound you make when you bite a grape?" She questioned and Dipper nodded. "Yes, you know which one." He said and bit his cheek, hoping that the discussion would be over soon. He thought he was drunk enough for this discussion, but he was wrong. "So you're telling me..."Mabel began, but Dipper cut her off: "Yes. Now can we end this discussion?" "Yeah, that's enough catching up for an...eternity. Would you like some grapes, now that you can eat them peacefully?" Mabel asked and Dipper sighed before saying: "To be honest, yes."
They both stood up and slowly made their way downstairs, to the kitchen, as Mabel was almost too drunk to stand. Once they arrived in the kitchen, Mabel took the remaining grapes and put them in a bowl as Dipper took two bottles of water from the fridge. Both of them took a seat at the table and began eating while taking small sips from the water. "You know we'll regret this in the morning." Dipper said after a long silence. "Who cares? And are you even drunk?" Mabel said and Dipper rolled his eyes. "I am drunk, but not as much as you are. I noticed that in the past few yearsI get drunk harder and sober up easier. It might be because I live with an alcoholic. Who knows?!" He said, slightly annoyed and Mabel put her head on the table.
"So I guess you're used to being drunk by now." She muttered and closed her eyes. "Surprisingly, Bill and I drink very rarely. Yeah, we try to keep the level of alcohol from Bill's blood under...60%. Sometimes I even wonder if there is blood in his system, or just alcohol." Dipper said and Mabel chuckled. "And you actually believe him when he says he didn't drink more than what you know about?" She asked and Dipper glared at her.
"He's not as bad as you think." He said lowly and Mabel smirked as she said: "Neither is Pacifica."
