Billdip week day 5: Trying on costumes/Trying to scare each other
“Hey Pine Tree are yo--”
“AHHHHHHH! Bill! Don’t scare me like that!!”
It wasn’t Bill’s intention to scare Dipper but hey. He can be pretty scary at times! (Not that Dipper minds when Bill surprises him dressed like that.. :p)
Dipper’s trying on a wolf costume, and Bill... Well Bill doesn’t know yet XD

Ladies and gentlemen, and we have reached the last day of this BillDip Week. As always I had a lot of fun writing these drabbles. By the way, happy Halloween to all, I'm preparing because from today there is a party for tomorrow to celebrate Día de Muertos, I admit, we are very partying here.
Notes and Warnings: Monster Falls.
Irony
Sometimes life has its ironies. For example that a tree falls on top of a lumberjack, a masseuse ends up with back pain, you know the typical... Or the irony of his life: Your fiancé, a demon with god-like powers, turns you into a human for a day to go to a human city to enjoy Halloween... In a costume parade... Disguised as a monster.
Dipper had never before been in a human city, much less as a human or as a monster, hardly any of the monsters wanted to leave their hometown unless they moved to another city of monsters, as was the case with him and Mabel after their parents decided to send them to Oregon. Grunkle Stan was one of the few monsters in Gravity Falls who left town for days and came back, either a millionaire or because he had cheated again and needed to hide until he thought of a new name and new plan. Grunkle Ford too, but his plans when leaving the world of monsters were a little ambiguous.
And now he was here for the first time, in the human world, like a monster turned into a human disguised as a monster. Oh, the sweet irony.
“The only opportunity I've to go out as I am and I have to spend it with my head inside a latex mask in the shape of a wolf.”
“Nobody would believe your backs are made of papier-mâché.” Bill explained, he was dressed as a hunter, no big difference to when it was hunting season for Gravity Falls, “There's a big difference between papier-mâché and deerskin.”
Dipper rolled his eyes, maybe Bill was right, he knew humans better than he and television.
“Besides,” Bill added, “I wouldn't like someone to be amazed by your disguise and want to touch you. You are already too cute in both ways.”
No, of course not. He wasn't flushed, goddammit!
The parade began as soon as the fireworks illuminated the night sky. There was music echoing everywhere, smells both sweet and bitter floating in the air, laughter and shouts of joy in different groups of disguised humans, etc.
“Is not this fun, Bill? Bill?” Dipper turned around to see Bill, the mask didn't let him see the demon so he had to take it off. Bill was serious, something weird to see since usually Bill was always with a sly and malicious smile. “Bill?” Dipper approached him, taking him by the arm, waking the demon of whatever he was thinking. “Bill, are you okay?”
Bill's gaze returned to its old expression, “Yes,” He responded quickly, “A little stunned by so many colored lights. Did you need something? Surely you must be hungry.”
Dipper wasn't very convinced, in spite of so many things that he has spent at Bill's side that the demon didn't tell him what he was thinking put him in a bad mood. Taking Bill by the arm Dipper made his way through the crowd dragging Bill away from the parade.
Until they weren't far from the parade it was that Dipper decided to face Bill. “Okay, what's wrong with you.” He crossed his arms. The demon avoided looking at him. “Is it because I complain about the mask? I must admit, for someone who's a prey to wear the disguise of a predator and be next to a hunter – ”
Bill snorted, “It's not the mask, nor the disguise. Nothing of you.”
Oh, at least he laughed and spoke. “Well, and will you tell me what happens?”
The demon scratched the back of his neck, “It'll sound silly.”
“I've heard that many times, and it always comes from me.” Dipper sat next to him, leaning his head against Bill's shoulder, as a cervitaur rarely managed to have that privilege.
“I think I'm jealous.” Bill released.
Dipper looked up with surprised eyes, “Wait, what? From who?” What the heck did Tad say this time?
“Them.” Bill pointed to the parade, “And I don't understand it. Humans are hypocrites. At least the majority. They disguise themselves as monsters for fun but if they knew that the monsters really exist they would react with fear.” It's not as if the demons were going to allow it, but even so, the simple thought that a human had dared to hurt Pine Tree or one of the monsters in Gravity Falls – Made his blood boil.
Well, Bill had a point. It's true that Dipper had seen several shows and documentaries where humans could be... How is this called blue and orange? – And without having skills or evolved features like them. And maybe he would also have been to blame for his incident almost two years ago but Bill was there to prevent him from doing anything else, at least if he wasn't involved in the plan.
Bill felt a blow on the back of his head.
“Yes, it's silly, but it's also valid.” Dipper nodded, “I understand that. Humans have more freedoms than us but at the same time they are prisoners. They worry too much about everything, their physical appearance, their own thoughts and feelings, their life seems like it must be a competition... Though I would like to live this way for a day,” Dipper pointed to himself full-body, “I wouldn't like to live my whole life in a world so stressful that don't know how to enjoy more of the freedom they have.”
“Booo~ You are so corny, Pine Tree.” Bill lunged at him, hugging him and burying his nose in his hair, he missed his antlers.
“At least your mood is back.” Dipper corresponded to the hug, it was a little easier to hug him that way, but also being cervitaur had benefits. Dipper stood up, pulling Bill.
“The parade's over there.” Bill pointed to the parade that was on the opposite side.
“Yes, but I've seen too many monsters in my life.” Dipper tried that his voice won't give his idea to Bill, “I want to try something now that I have this body – ”
Before Dipper had finished his sentence, and his proposal, Bill had already made them disappear.
