I..think .𖤠

I can't really say where I'm going for Stevens safety, and mine for a matter of fact.

Jesus, my parents are gonna / flip / once they realize I'm not even in Oregon anymore.

[ᅠ* ᅠ𝒖𝒑𝒕𝒐𝒘𝒏ᅠ 𝒈𝒊𝒓𝒍 ᅠ.ᐟ @EGOLESSWEALTH]

Yeah, you seem to have a bad habit of doing that Pines.

( Sighs. )

Well, good excuse to close up the dinner anyways. Not like I live here anymore anyways.

You going to be okay out there ?

[`` - 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒 ☔︎ @MYSTERYTWIIN]

That.. actually gets a chuckle out of dipper, a quiet snort even as his knuckles went over his nose, to hide the smile,

[˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ 𝚂𝑇𝐸𝑉𝐸𝑁 𝚄𝑁𝐼𝑉𝐸𝑅𝑆𝐸 ❖ @DiamondSlzed]

“ I know ..but hey..I'll be here. No matter what. It doesn't have to be so bad alone. We can both feel cruddy together .ᐟ ”

He lightly nudges dipper, in an attempt to lighten the mood with his own weak little laugh, soft stars in his eyes.

[`` - 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒 ☔︎ @MYSTERYTWIIN]

He's just...different.

Even / bill / is trying to get him to calm down.

I overheard him and Steven talking and..I guess that's what made me drive away.

But that's just me putting more blame on myself than I should.

[ᅠ* ᅠ𝒖𝒑𝒕𝒐𝒘𝒏ᅠ 𝒈𝒊𝒓𝒍 ᅠ.ᐟ @EGOLESSWEALTH]

Oooh look at you go. ( Playfully hits his shoulder. It still hurts a bit. ) Never thought I'd see the day.

That's your. . .another great Uncle, right ?
I mean, town has dealt with demons before. What's so different now ?

[`` - 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒 ☔︎ @MYSTERYTWIIN]

.
..
A week ago .𖤠.𖤠.𖤠 his name's ste— wait we're totally off topic here—.

Whatever's happening to ford is.. definitely not the norm for our family right now

[ᅠ* ᅠ𝒖𝒑𝒕𝒐𝒘𝒏ᅠ 𝒈𝒊𝒓𝒍 ᅠ.ᐟ @EGOLESSWEALTH]

. . . Wait, since when do you get a boyfriend ?

Like I get it, totally wrong thing to focus on. But that's more shocking to me, everything else seems like the usual run-by for your family.

[`` - 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒 ☔︎ @MYSTERYTWIIN]

All I know is Ford got possessed by something, my boyfriend accidentally took away some powers from bill after the demon said something to trigger him, anddd now I'm in potential danger

[ᅠ* ᅠ𝒖𝒑𝒕𝒐𝒘𝒏ᅠ 𝒈𝒊𝒓𝒍 ᅠ.ᐟ @EGOLESSWEALTH]

You're going to give me any idea what's going on Pines ? Or should I just assume the worst.

[`` - 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒 ☔︎ @MYSTERYTWIIN]

“ I wish I could believe it. I really do, Steven. ”

It's all he can let out, lips pressed together in a bundle of nerves.

[˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ 𝚂𝑇𝐸𝑉𝐸𝑁 𝚄𝑁𝐼𝑉𝐸𝑅𝑆𝐸 ❖ @DiamondSlzed]

It hurt to see him this way.

He knows it all too well. From the hand ship with jasper and peridot back then...that same worry.

“ everything's going to turn out okay. Whatever happened...it'll get better, somehow, someway. ” Steven was quiet in his assurance, holding onto +

Tell me about it lmao

I left gravity falls like

50 miles back I think

[ᅠ* ᅠ𝒖𝒑𝒕𝒐𝒘𝒏ᅠ 𝒈𝒊𝒓𝒍 ᅠ.ᐟ @EGOLESSWEALTH]

Wooow, lot going on in town today.

[`` - 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒 ☔︎ @MYSTERYTWIIN]

+ he adds, staring down at his shoes, pressing them together. “ I love you too, grunkle stan— ”

[`` - 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒 ☔︎ @MYSTERYTWIIN]

“ can you stay safe too.. .𖤠 if he- or whatever's possessing grunkle Ford to be this way..— please- you guys / can't / get hurt. ”

Dipper choked on his words, scratched at his skin nervously, anxiously. “ im not even thinking about wherever we're going for safe measures. ” +

[`` - 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒 ☔︎ @MYSTERYTWIIN]

Demanded even—

He's already in toe, arms slinging around the gem with a tired sigh.

Just his luck, right .𖤠

[˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ 𝚂𝑇𝐸𝑉𝐸𝑁 𝚄𝑁𝐼𝑉𝐸𝑅𝑆𝐸 ❖ @DiamondSlzed]

He is yoinking @MYSTERYTWIIN Into his lap.

After the day they both had, cuddles were absolutely NECESSARY

[`` - 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒 ☔︎ @MYSTERYTWIIN]

“ I'm driving with Steven. Getting out of gravity falls. I already sent Mabel a text, and you were gonna be next. ”

Dipper scratched the top of his head, leaning back in his car seat

[`` - 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒 ☔︎ @MYSTERYTWIIN]

There's a small sigh from Dipper, even as he hesitantly picked up the phone.

“ grunkle Stan .𖤠 ”

[`` - 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒 ☔︎ @MYSTERYTWIIN]

He's got their numbers, hell, Dipper already texted mable on what happened.

He's not worried, he didn't even listen.

[`` - 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒 ☔︎ @MYSTERYTWIIN]

The best threat I'll listen to fr

[˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ 𝚂𝑇𝐸𝑉𝐸𝑁 𝚄𝑁𝐼𝑉𝐸𝑅𝑆𝐸 ❖ @DiamondSlzed]

I am going to give you the best beach day ever

This is a light hearted threat

[`` - 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒 ☔︎ @MYSTERYTWIIN]

<3

[˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ 𝚂𝑇𝐸𝑉𝐸𝑁 𝚄𝑁𝐼𝑉𝐸𝑅𝑆𝐸 ❖ @DiamondSlzed]

Casually took his boyfriend out of gravity falls while Ford was busy so Dipper can be in a better environment <3

[`` - 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒 ☔︎ @MYSTERYTWIIN]

+ good last night.. we can just have a nice relaxing drive there. And then some. ” Dipper offers with a half attempted dorky smile, just to hopefully ease Steven in a sense.

[`` - 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒 ☔︎ @MYSTERYTWIIN]

“ Steven. Hey..it's okay..to not be good, yeah .𖤠 I know you're not taking any of this well. Don't hide that. ”

Dipper frowned as he softly spoke, gently squeezing Stevens hands in his own.

“ I'm excited to meet them. But I wanna check in on you first. You weren't doing +

[˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ 𝚂𝑇𝐸𝑉𝐸𝑁 ��𝑁𝐼𝑉𝐸𝑅𝑆𝐸 ❖ @DiamondSlzed]

+ the gems too, especially pearl- you both would have a lot in common, like— ”

He tried to distract themboth from his own overwhelming emotions, taking dipper's hands in his own with false excitement.

[`` - 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒 ☔︎ @MYSTERYTWIIN]

+ he mutters, mood low just like steven.

[`` - 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒 ☔︎ @MYSTERYTWIIN]

There's a curt nod.

He's heard every word Steven said to ford.

He knew how much that had to hurt, standing up for himself. Dipper's got a good hold on one of Stevens arms as a comfort thing.

“ yeah. I mean..I've got Mabel's number. I can tell her where I'm going, stan too. ”+

[˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ 𝚂𝑇𝐸𝑉𝐸𝑁 𝚄𝑁𝐼𝑉𝐸𝑅𝑆𝐸 ❖ @DiamondSlzed]

Tugging @MYSTERYTWIIN along.

He's quiet, swallowing the lump in his throat.
“ do you really still want to come to beach city .𖤠 ”

[`` - 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐏𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐒 ☔︎ @MYSTERYTWIIN]

Thank God Ford got him here-

With the strength Dipper had, he's already taking the tired boy upstairs to rest on Mabel's bed, worried for his sake.

[˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ 𝚂𝑇𝐸𝑉𝐸𝑁 𝚄𝑁𝐼𝑉𝐸𝑅𝑆𝐸 ❖ @DiamondSlzed]

Zzzzzz...
