Chapter Text
Bill came over wayyyyy earlier than he needed to. Luckily for Dipper, Mabel was busy creating fun snacks for her future guest that she didn’t need the boys help yet. This meant the first two hours of Bill’s visit were spent watching tv. Mabel offered them hot chocolate and occasionally would come in with spoons of cake batter to lick. Bill enjoyed the Pines house for the most part but today the added sent of vanilla made it five times more lovely.
Mabel’s party only had one requirement which was to wear pink or red. “I’ll give an option just in case you happen to look horrendous in one.”
“Everything you ever where is either black, white or grey” Dipper comments when he saw Bill’s outfit. “it’s strange to see you in pink.”
“Don’t forget yellow sometimes I wear yellow.” The blonde smirked.
“Sometimes you were accessories that are yellow,” Dipper corrected “I’ve never seen you in a yellow shirt once.”
It wasn’t just the colour that was the big difference, Bill’s clothes were usually tight and well fitting. The pastel pink sweater was a much more lounge type of clothing and a little baggy on the blonde. Meanwhile Dipper went for a not very fancy red flannel that Mabel didn’t like.
“See Dipper Bill wore something nice! Why can’t you wear something nice.” Mabel teased when she first saw the pair side by side.
Dipper rolls his eyes “Come on Mabes we both know this is like the nicest shirt that I own.”
A few hours into their documentary marathon (they started with something on jellyfish and were currently on something about the amazon rainforest) the Stans appeared from wherever they were hiding ready to go to whatever mysterious place they were going.
“Hurry up Stanly were going to be late.” the older man shouted up the stairs before turning his attention to the teens on the couch in front of him. “oh hi” he looks over at Bill with a raised eyebrow “Mabel’s new boyfriend?”
Dipper wasn’t quite sure what to say to that, luckily Bill wrapped his arm around him and answered for them “Dipper’s actually.”
Ford nods “Ah yes well my mistake.” He comes forward with an open hand “I’m Ford Dipper’s great uncle, pleasure to meet you.”
Bill gives him a charming grin returning the firm handshake. Bill was certainly better then Dipper at the whole ‘socialising’ thing as he made small talk with the man quiet easily until Stan came down.
“Where’s your sister?” was the first thing he said and Dipper nodded towards the kitchen. “Mabel sweetheart my friends a go for tonight.”
She skips into the living room Dipper feeling very crowed and overwhelmed with everyone around at once. “Perfect , does he have my number so he can text me the times.”
“Not yet but I can give it to him.”
Stanford sends a concerning glance at the pair “What are you two planning?”
“Nothing” they say simultaneously and Dipper just shakes his head with a smile Mabel had told him what was up this morning and if Ford found out he would likely stand against it.
“I don’t believe you but if I sit here and chat about it for an hour we’ll be late.” He huffs and turns to Stanley “can we go now?”
They wish them all a good by and demand everyone stay safe and not to break anything before leaving. Mabel skips back to the kitchen and everything returned to the calm quiet of before.
Upon everyone leaving Bill starts to depate who would be in charge…. As the oldest he thinks it would be him.
“But you don’t live here.”
“Okay then Mabel who is second oldest.”
“Yes but I am more mature then both you so really I should be in charge.” Dipper argues back with a smile.
“Details, details.” Bill chuckles waving his hand. “So twins eh, runs in the family?” Dipper nods giving out a slow yeah. “Do you think our kids will be twins?”
Dipper chuckles but Bill seemed to be waiting for a real response “You do know we can’t have kids, like it’s not genetically possible.”
Bill rolls his eyes and slides himself onto Dippers lap. “Oh come on Pines were smart! I’m sure if anyone could invent a way it would be us. What a scientific breakthrough it would be.”
“You’re insane” Dipper laughed.
“The most clever people often are” Bill sang giving him what originated as a gentle kiss.
Dipper lets out a small hum as their lips meet. Bill’s hands originally went to toy with Dippers hair as they always seem to but as Dipper slips his tongue through his lips deepening the kiss Bill finds himself tugging ever so slightly at the curls.
Of course this is a prime time for Mabel to walk in having to clear her throat to make her presence known to them. Dipper almost immediately pulls away but with going slightly red choices to bury his face in Bills neck rather then look at his sister. “Sorry to interrupt,” she announces obviously not the slightest bit sorry. “but I need you to start hanging stuff up for me.” She had a box in her hand and her hair was in curlers.
Bill gives her a reassuring nod and smile. It was during this he realises just how tight he was grabbing the others hair and starts to run his hands through the soft curls once again. “Sure thing Star.”
She enters in a little further putting the book on the table behind them “The hearts need to be hung from the ceiling and the streamers against walls, in fact blue tack some hearts to the walls too and uh I need you to push all the chairs against the walls but have them facing inwards so people can still sit on them okay?”
Bill nods and Dipper turns to argue “What is there left for you to do. “
“Well I made all the food and I’ll set the tables up and unlike you and your red flannel I need to put a lot of time into my outfit.” Apparently her cat pj’s weren’t her planned attired for tonight.
“Ugh okay.” he burriest his face back into Bills neck.
Mabel must have mouthed something to Bill or at least rolled her eyes as dipper could feel the vibration of the blonde’s chuckle before the sound of his sister stomping upstairs.
“Shall we go help….as much as I love making out with you that’s not exactly what I came over so early to do.”
Dipper sighs, they were having so much fun…. “Yeahhh but you gotta get off me first.”
The blonde obliges hoping of in a moment. Dipper takes charge of puzzling furniture onto walls while Bill (being taller started hanging up cut out pink and red hearts to the ceiling. Most of them had roped tied to them already so it was simply a matter of taping them to the celling.
Bill was already on streamers when Dipper sorted all the furniture out so took any extra non hole punched hearts and stuck them to the walls.
“Hey,hey Dipper, I got a poem for you.”
The brunet hums in approval from across the room “I thought you were a mathematician not a poet.”
“Ah but alas I am both …..anyway..” Bill clears his throat. “Roses are red, violets are blue, you may be pretty but I’m smarter then you.”
Dipper groans and Bill laughs. “I revoke my recent statement, you are not a poet… or at least not a very good one.”
“Pines I am wounded” Bill clutched his heart.
It wasn’t until seven that Mabel’s friends started showing up, and it wasn’t for another hour before Mabel’s friend’s friend’s friend’s started to appear kicking the party into full swing.
Dipper rarely ever stayed down here for these types of events so it was a bit strange. One moment it seemed like him and Bill could quietly chat to each other but now they were shouting over music squished next to each other. Chit chatting with random kids Dipper had never seen before yet Bill seemed to know every single one. “Pines I’m sick of this lets dance.”
Dipper’s eyes widen, that’s something he definitely can not do. “Bill I am as good a dancer as you are a poet.”
“It’s a good thing my poems are great then.” He laughs as he tugs Dipper by the arm into a moving cluster of people. It was sweaty it was loud and Dipper certainly wasn’t drunk enough for this right now. Bill took both his hands and moved him like a puppet forcing him to dance around.
Dipper didn’t hate it , he laughed at the funny faces Bill made and the way he bobbed his head to each song. He would twirl Dipper and pull him close. Dipper was by no means good at dancing but Bill appeared to be horrendous….or at least was pretending to be. Either way it made the brunet feel a million times better about it all.
One of Mabel’s favourite songs started to play. A poppy bit played on the radio so much that Dipper knew all the words even if he didn’t want to. Bill seemed to know it too as he started screaming a long to the chorus. A few other people gather around joining him making Dipper feel obliged to shout along too. They all jumped up and down flinging their arms around screaming and laughing along to a song Dipper was previously a little embarrassed to admit he had ever heard.
As the song came to a close and another unknown beat came on, Bill seemed more than happy to stay bouncing and Dipper pointed that he need a break to get a drink. Bill nodes and follows close behind him in the crowd.
“OhmygoshBill , remember me from Mabel’s last party.” Said a girl with bright pink hair.
The blonde grins and nods at the girl but Dipper also notices on how he moves a little closer to him. As small talk begins and more of her friends join, getting flirtier and flirtier with him as time passes. Bill gets closer and closer to Dipper. Starting with reaching for his hand. To moving his arm around his waist, to a full on hug from behind where his neck rest on the crook of his neck. As the girls laugh though another story Bill whispers to Dipper “How about we get out of here?”
“My pleasure.” he mutters not bothering to say goodbye to the noisy girls as they slip back through the crowd. They start to climb up the stairs running into drunk couple after drunk couple with their tongues down each other’s throats. The pair make their way to the second staircase that most were too lazy to walk up.
“Horny teenagers am I right.” Bill laughs as they stumble into Dipper’s messy room.
“Ugh I know they need to keep their hands to themselves.” Dipper sarcastically states whilst wrapping his own around Bill’s neck.
Bill gives him a quick kiss but also starts to walk them to the bed. “or… they could at least keep it for the bedroom.” He leans in again.
“Mmmm,” Dipper hums between kisses as he falls into the mattress “good point.”
Sweaty, sloppy kisses were exchanged, Bill laughed as he moved back. “you’re cute you know that.”
Dipper was going to protest against the comment but found himself lost in a kiss again.He got so lost in it that he didn’t even notice Bill had unbuttoned his shirt until his hands were feeling up his torso. A soft moan escaping him.
He didn’t feel as exposed as he thought he would in a situation like this but he did feel rather vulnerable. He didn’t like how couldn’t control his bodies reactions to these touches. During one of the kisses brief breaks for air Dipper quickly place his hand over his lips.
He was worried Bill would be angry to go in for his lips and end up kissing his hand but the blonde eyebrow was just raised in confusion. Dipper switched from covering his mouth to lightly covering Bill’s. “We drunk,” Dipper whispers “well maybe not that drunk but more drunk then I want to be for when we do this…..” Bills face relaxes so Dipper drops his hand.
A wave of relive washes over him as he sees Bills smiling at him. “Valentine’s day is a bit too cliché for us anyway isn’t it?”
Dipper nods happy he understands, happy he wasn’t mad.
Bill plants a kiss on Dipper’s forehead before he rolls off him lying beside him on the bed. He looks over at his lover who was indeed lovely. Maybe the alcohol had gotten too his head a little. Now he was taking a step back he was reminded all the reasons Dipper reminded him of a teddy bear he wanted to cuddle. Dipper laces their hands together and Bill doesn’t hesitate to pull them up for a kiss before letting them lay on his chest.
See this is us. The burnet looked sleepy like usual so Bill thought he would offer they nap. Dipper declined the invite “Mabel’s got some fireworks going up later, I think we should stay up just for that.”
“Fireworks? How the hell did she mange that?! Is that even legal.”
Dipper giggles and shakes his head “Nah but grunkle Stan knows a guy and he’s agreed to wait out by the lake to set them off.” Bill nods “Everyone else will just see it as a happy accident but it was very much planed.”
“Are there fireworks at all her parties or?”
“Nope valentine’s is just her favourite celebration so she tends to go all out.” he wiggles their hands “your heart is going boom boom boom boom.”
Bill lets out a breathy laugh “interesting observation Einstein as before now I was certain I was dead inside.”
With a laugh Dipper frees his hand but continues to stare at the man with a smile on his face .Bill let himself watch the other too. It was funny how even whilst laying here and doing nothing they were still having a very enjoyable time. It was right then that Bill decided he wanted to share as many happy, enjoyable moments with Dipper as he possibly could.
They had adjusted themselves into a cuddle where they closed their eyes and pretended the world didn’t exist for a bit. This was particularly how Dipper liked it. This planet had way too many people on it, he hated being reminded of others presence. It was mid cuddle that a small hissing noise followed by a boom came from outside. A burst of light could be seen from out the window and some confused voices from downstairs were asking what was going on.
Bill gave Dipper a squeeze “Should we go downstairs and see?
Dipper was about to say yes when an even better idea popped in his head. “Yes…. and no.” he gets out of bed and outstretches his hand “You gotta follow me though.” Dipper led Bill downstairs where most people were emptying out to the front porch. Instead of heading in that direction he slips Bill into this door which led into what looked like a tiny store.
“My grunkle’s tourist shop” Dipper explains before Bill could as. He tugging the blonde along until he reaches a yellow curtain and without question starts to vanish up the ladder. Bill is hesitant but follows once he gets the go from Dipper. As he climb up he is met with a rush of cold air. Before he can ask another question a firework goes off filling the sky with light.
Dipper helps him climb fully onto the bit of roof. From here he can see a few people gathering and gawking at the sky above them. He could also see more of the town then he ever thought he could see at once. He could see the tips of all the trees, the water fall in the distance and a range of public buildings from the mall to the school.
“Amazing right.” Dipper finally sighs.
Bill wraps his arm around his waist. “It is pretty wonderful.”
Bill ends up hugging him from behind head in-between Dippers neck like before as they watch the show of lights. The sway a bit from side to side. The show started up slow but soon past all expectations. Explosion after explosion. Reds and pinks and yellows and blues. Series of hearts appeared alongside the main burst and Bill loved every second of it.
Dipper was so fixated on the show and probably didn’t even realise the small oooohs and awws he kept saying as the sky lit up. He placed his hands on the ones against his stomach and thought about how much he loved all of this. The lights, having Bill by his side, the clear slightly starry night sky. It was all so perfect. This was perhaps the first time Mabel was having a party and he was also having fun.
“Happy Valentine’s day Pines.” Bill whispered kissing his cheek.
Smiling Dipper tilted his head to face him “Happy Valentine’s day Cipher.” He muttered a final bang of fireworks going off as their lips met for a kiss.
