for fuck sakes..  what do you want from me?   no, i don’t need to tell you anything.    *he took a deep breath.*   i know why you’re doing this,  paz.     *another pause.*    you have to move on..   did you really think we were going to last forever?   life doesn’t work like that,  okay.     it’s not easy, people, change,  people leave,   that’s how the world works.    i know, it sucks.. and even though a part of me wished things went different, it’s too late.   

@bearsfalls     okay!   but the least you could do..  is tell me where you’ve been?!    

no,  you want an explanation!     and I’m not in the mood for dealing with you right now.   

@fearstreats      i’m fine.   /just/ look the other way,  please.   

and ?  i'm shaking in my boots. 

@bloodlvers     he also told me, that he loves me.   

let's hope it sticks this time.

@sourangelic    *   it'll be worth the sugar rush.

@sweatercollect      [    perfectly shaped brows knitted before she nods.     ]        okay.    it sounds.. tasty?        but i better not get a sugar rush after this.   [    she joked,  light heartedly.    ]  

@sourangelic    *   confetti with vanilla icing!

*dipper tried to maintain his composure, but the tears that welled in his eyes betrayed his inner turmoil.    her turned away,    sitting on the edge of the bed,    his shoulders slumping as he finally let his guard down.*   and,  I can trust you?   *a single sentence was enough to make his voice crack with emotion,    his words filled with the pain of their shared history,     the wounds that had been inflicted on both sides.   he wiped a tear from his cheek with the back of his hand that had escaped,    unable to hide his anguish any longer.    the room felt heavy with the weight of his emotions,   a shared sorrow that seemed to bind them even in their moments of conflict.     it was a painful realization of the damage they had caused each other,  and the uncertainty of whether they could ever heal those wounds.    yet his heart ached,   his earlier resolve to stay strong crumbling further.    he turned back to face her.*     pacifica,   I don’t want to be cruel to you.  just... I don't know how to navigate this anymore.   we've hurt each other so much,   and I can't bear to see you in pain.    that’s the difference between you and me.  

@bearsfalls         [     blue eyes,  once fiery, now glistened with unshed tears as she struggled to find the right words to respond.     ]    dipper,      don't say that.     [      she replied,   her voice quivering with emotion.     ]      you have no idea how much you've hurt me,   how much damage you've done.     i can't trust you anymore.    [      her words were deliberate,     meant to hurt,   a defense mechanism she’d put up,   since she’d gotten so used to shielding her true emotions that it almost felt easy.      ]        why?    you said it once yourself,   we can’t be friends.     so,   it’s only fair,   if you be cruel to me too.    

*for a few moments,  he was at loss for words. a lump formed in his throat, as her hurtful words struck him. he couldn’t believe that she was resorting to such a threat.*   no..  /you/  know how to ruin every moment.    why are you like this?        I try to be reasonable but all you do is be spiteful..  and mean.       this is a low blow,  even for you pacifica.     I still tried to be your friend..      maybe,    because you have no one,  but your cult-y,  socialite family and I feel sorry for you.       *a pause.*     you can be real cruel.      

you’re welcome,     pacifica.       [       she offers a smile.    the girl carefully watches her,     a soft look of both concern and—-   maybe admiration    (????)   at the girl as she tries to fix her hair.       ]     oh—-   you missed a few   —-       [         reaching out without a second thought,    she goes to carefully detangle a leaf or two out of the blonde girl’s hair.       ]

@conirise       i think,   i’m fine.     [     she briefly held onto her,       instantly letting go as she stood back onto her feet.       a bit flustered,    she ran her fingers through her disheveled blonde hair,   picking out a few leaves.        ]         thank you,   june.   

oh—-   !       [       now with a bright pink face,    she gently lifts the other up by her arms.       ]       sorry.     you okay?

@himbows      trust me,     i take good care of my skin.      there won’t be any wrinkling for me.   clearly,     you don’t notice me enjoying my drink.   i’m fine.     [    she scoffed,    observing the other.     ]    who even are you?       

you're    frowning    so    much    i'm    sure    you'll    get    wrinkles    from   it.     lighten   up,   will    you.

@himbows       excuse you?    i’m not grumpy.  i don’t know what gave you the impression.   

@lovestck      am i not allowed?    

@sourangelic    *    no.

@sweatercollect        um,      why?    can’t i ask how you’re doing, mabel?         

@sourangelic    *    i didn't say leave the shack.  i said /leave me alone/.

[        a finger previously placed onto her chin soon retreats,    quickly turning her attention back to the blonde.       ]       hmmm ..       probably the pancakes.    those are my favorite.    can’t go wrong with pancakes.

@conirise      a lot of faces don’t stick to my memory.        [     she retorts nonchalantly,    as her blue eyes scanned the menu card.      ]       so, what do you recommend?       

i’ve seen you.    we just didn’t know each other before so my face didn’t stick to your memory.       [       raising a brow at the girl’s compliment,    she glances down at her own uniform.       ]       (THIS OLD THING?    SO CLICHE ..)    haha,    thanks.    they used to make us wear these nasty old ones,    but they didn’t have one small enough for me so i got one of my own.    heh.    glad you like it.
