Chapter Twenty

(Dipper)

We were in the secret room that held food and ammunition beyond belief, Tom and Dennis were chowing down on some generic branded food full of preservatives.

They said it tasted like shit but they didnt care, we havent eaten in so long just about anything we can sink our teeth into would be delicious enough.

I myself took a hold of a can and opened it with the help of Dennis, scooping its contents with my finger since we didnt have any spoons.

My stomach growled in delight as I felt the food travel it's way through my intestinal tract. I drooled immediately wanting more as I stuffed my face until I ran out of room.

I heard the other two chuckle at me and I turned to face them, they had amused looks on their face as they'd never seen me very agressive with much.

I smiled shyly and turned back to the empty can in my hand, setting it onto the floor and reaching for a bottle of room temperature water.

I dont know how long we planned on staying here but it wasnt going to be much longer then at least 5 days, we don't want to be in one place at a time because we still have the scientists looking for Dennis.

I decided I might as well just ask them, it would make great conversation.

"Hey guys?" I asked turning to look at them.

"Yeah what's up buddy?" Dennis faced me as did Tom. "How long did we plan on staying down here again? I know it's not gonna be long but" I paused looking around, "This is one of those scientists government facilities is it not? What if they come back?" I said.

Tom and Dipper looked around at the facility and nodded agreeing that this is a government facility "Well I guess you're right, ok how about this tomorrow at about noon we'll pack our stuff and leave" Dennis suggested.

I nodded and smiled a little bit, "yeah that sounds like a good plan, at least then we could get a headstart if there really is a government after you" Tom said looking at Dennis.

"Yeah" he said back.

I watched the chemistry between those two, it's not hard to see that they like each other. I wished they'd just kiss already or something because right now it's a whole bunch of tension.

"H-hey Tom? What's your sexual preference?" I asked, hoping to spark something between them, well more then there already is.

"Oh um, well I think I'm I'm bicurious I mean I was straight before then I met Dennis" he openly admitted.

Dennis and I both shared similar facial expressions to how bold Tom was, "so are you saying I made you start question?" Dennis asked with a smirk.

"Well yeah I just said that" Tom playfully rolled his eyes as he got back to eating again. "Well just so you know, I'm bisexual so if you ever wanted to I dunno, try something? We can" Dennis said twiddling his thumbs.

Tom smiled fondly at him before nodding, they both just stared at each other for a moment. I didnt want to interrupt it so I just went back to eating another can of food.

We all needed this, this moment of peace from the constant stress the comes with the apocalypse. Everything was going well and smooth, well until it wasnt.

We dropped everything as a knock sounded from the other side of the door, "hello?? We know you guys are in there" Klancys voice rang out.

I glanced over at Tom and Dennis warily, Dennis had one finger over his mouth telling me to keep quiet as he began to silently pack food into one of his bags.

Both Tom and I got the memo and began packing our stuff as well, I guess we were leaving sooner then before. We were still packing and heard the steps of them pacing around outside of the door and I suddenly came to a realization.

I quietly tip toed over to the other two so that I could whisper the urgency. "D-didn't you break the weird l-lock thing Dennis?" I stuttered trying to be quiet.

Dennis's eyes widened as he realized what I meant, our heads shot up at the sound of the door opening and the others walking in on us before we had a chance to hide and pack the food and ammunition.

"I knew it was some kind of secret stash" Jean said smugly.

"What?" Dennis asked just as confused as Tom and I.

"When we left from your guys place, we were gonna turn around and try to work things out, but then we saw you guys leave out your door and sneak off to this fancy place" Klancy sneered.

"Look at all this food and ammunition, were you just gonna keep us away from this??" Daniel questioned us.

I looked back and forth between Tom and Dennis, not really sure what we should say. Dennis gave Tom and I a reassuring before standing up with a huff and grabbing one of his bags.

He tossed it to them, "theres food and water inside, us "monsters" didn't feel lie you'd care enough nor did we think you'd still be here when we found this but you're not having it. You think you can just insult us and them come back expecting us to shower you in love and kisses?" Dennis hissed.

"WE saved YOU, you should kissing our fucking feet but we didn't even treat you like that because we're not some kind of heartless monsters, I still have blood flowing through out my body I'm still alive" he pounded his hands against his chest.

"Were not gonna sit here and let you belittle us like the fuck-heads you are, I wont stand for that tyranny, so take this bag of salvation and get the FUCK out and never come back again" he finished huffing from the intensity.

They were stunned and honestly so were we, I knew Dennis was tough but that was powerful I almost want to cry.

My attention turned to the others as I adopted a hard glare, my personality took a shift and I physically felt it as well. "Well you heard him, get. out." I said dangerously calm.

They snapped out of their daze, snatching the bag and running off on their way up the stairs. Dennis sat back down as he watched them go, I calmed down myself from the little moment of rage and went to go pat Dennis's back.

We were gonna start a conversation but we heard someones throat clear, our heads snapped up to who it was and saw Daniel standing in the doorway.

"I don't think you guys are monsters" he smiled fondly.
