Hiii! Could you possibly write something for Older!Dipper with a s/o who's a vampire and has parents that aren't too fond of humans?

Like they've been sheltered from human society as much as possible for alot of their life and just started sneaking away to the town and figured out 'huh, they aren't that bad..' sooner or later meeting/getting together with Dip

But once the relationship gets a little more serious they get worried about how to go about introducing him, because they love their parents and want them to meet the guy that makes them happy..

Oh, I love this idea! Decided on go with College!Dipper on this one!

Even years after Weirdmaggedon, the locals of Gravity Falls still remained relatively unobservant of the strange things in their surrounding woods. How no one had ever stumbled upon your family’s grand dark wood lodge, or you yourself when out on your nature walks, you have no idea but the matter stands.

When you were younger, it was a blessing, you got to explore the forest you loved so much without fear of the human monsters lurking out in civilization, your family always mentioned with a sneer.

Your family had never gone fully into detail with you about their relationship with humans, what past events led them to avoid the creatures like the plague, but the tone they used always indicated that whatever it was, it had been bad. It scared you as a kid, but as you grew taller and your fangs got longer, you started to think for yourself. Consequences of getting older. What could possibly be so bad about creatures without any innate magical ability at all? All supernatural beings were different, why couldn’t humans be the same? You decided one day to test this theory.

It was early summer, so you had to be careful. Direct sunlight wouldn’t kill you, like your parents told you human stories said. It equated more to an intense allergy or sensitivity to sunlight. You would burn fast and hard, so on a normal sunny day you would stick to the woods, where the canopy shadows were long, wide and thick. Safe.

When the day finally came for your first little foray into the human world, you decided to go as the sun was beginning to set. It would be less intense for you if you were caught without the safety of shadows and there would be plenty of them around.

You started with the library. It seemed like a safe place to start. You loved it. It was quiet, peaceful, and everyone inside seemed very nice. Humans in a library, you discovered, were more often than not, respectful of each other, each other’s space and other people’s things. Additionally, everyone you briefly interacted with seemed passionate. They had a reason for being there. Returning something so someone else could have it, researching something important to them, or simply for the love of reading and engaging with stories. Nowhere even in the ballpark of what your family told you.

You became a fixture in the library for a time and once June hit, you began to see an identical duo poking around. They were never at the library long, pulling books from the natural history shelves every so often for some sort of confirmation before tearing out of the place. They were loud, but in an endearing way. They seemed to know everyone so when you asked someone who they were, you got a fond shake of the head.

“Those are the Pines Twins. They show up to visit every summer. I remember them when they were just little things!”

It had never really occurred to you that humans would find comfort in certain places other than where they lived. Your family had only ever moved out of fear and protection. Wanderlust and adventure appealed to you.

It wasn’t long before you started branching out. The people of Gravity Falls seemed to like you. If they noticed your fangs, they didn’t say anything. In your time exploring you had come to understand that the people of this particular town did not seem to mind creatures like you if you didn’t cause any trouble. It felt nice to be welcomed somewhere other than the dusty old house you and your family occupied.

The only place you’d never been was the movie theater. You had wanted to go since realizing humans liked to make moving, filmed stories too, but you didn’t have the money to buy a ticket with. You were walking down the street one evening when you saw those Pines Twins in the alley beside the movie theater. They were surrounded by the group of young adults affectionate nicknamed Corduroy’s Friends. Wendy Corduroy and her friends were all back from college and were currently, with the soon-to-be-college-freshmen Pines duo, sneaking into a movie.

The girl, whom you’ve come to learn was named Mabel, waved at you and called you over. ‘The more the merrier’ as she said. The boy, Dipper, shrugged and smiled at you, seemingly inviting you as well.

“Join us or don’t, the sheriff’s are coming down the street and we gotta go!” Wendy called over her shoulder as she stepped inside.

You slipped inside with the twins and Dipper asked you what your name was. It was history from there.

You hung out with the twins all the time, sometimes Mabel was present, other times she wasn’t. Both versions were enjoyable, though she wouldn’t stop giggling looking between you and Dipper.

Speaking of which, Dipper figured you out almost immediately the second time you hung out with him. He swears up and down that he would have done so before had it not been so dark when you two first met. To be fair to you though, it wasn’t like you were hiding it. There isn’t much you can do about fangs to hide them besides not talking which wasn’t going to happen. Dipper was too entertaining to just not talk to.

He had asked you about a million questions, some only slightly offensive, but that wasn’t his fault. He would’ve had no idea. You felt at times like a butterfly pinned to a board with how much he wanted to learn about you and your kind, but he was adorable so you allowed yourself to be a research subject.

Once you two finally got together, about a summer and a half later, Mabel teased you endlessly for that last comment. That was fine, she never meant any harm by it.

After being by yourself, with only your sequestered family to keep you company, for so long, it felt amazing to be part of a large, loving human family.

Soos and Melody loved you. Wendy enjoyed having you around. There was the matter of Dipper’s uncle’s though. Dipper had tried to keep you away from his Great Uncle Stan for the longest time and eventually you understood why. Every embarrassing story that had ever occurred while he was present, the man had told you. You placated Dipper though, once again calling him adorable and reminding him that it wasn’t anything you couldn’t have already guessed. He’d always been a dork, but he was your dork and you were very happy with him, thank you very much.

His Great Uncle Ford was wary of you at first, reminding you a bit of your own family members in terms of general mistrust. He had come around once he was certain you posed no danger to his family but it reminded you of a subject you had been dreading thinking about.

“Hey,” Dipper asked one night as the two of you sat on the roof, “What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing.”

“No, it isn’t,” he then pointed out your tell for lying, something his uncle had taught him to look for, “Just tell me. We can figure it out together.”

“I want to introduce you to my family, like you did with yours.”

“Okay,” Dipper said, “There’s a but though, right?”

You sighed, “They don’t like humans.”

Dipper nodded, sticking a finger to his chin.

“Well,” he finally said, “Don’t they want you to be happy?”

“Yes, but their focus has always been more on safety first, happiness after and only if it falls within ‘safe’ parameters.”

His face shifted into that determined, mystery solving face you loved so much, a look of intellectual pride. The triumph in having just completed a puzzle.

He reached over, running his thumb over your cheek. “Has there ever been a time where I haven’t kept you safe on one of our adventures?”

“I’ll have you remember that I’ve kept you safe on a fair number of them!”

Dipper chuckled, “Okay, okay. But I’ve never put you in danger, have I?”

“No.”

“Tried to stake you?”

“No.”

“Thrown garlic in your face?”

“I thought I told you that doesn’t work.”

Dipper laughed, then is face softened, almost afraid of what answer might come out of your mouth when he asked, “And I do make you happy, right?”

Your mouth twitched into a soft smile as you leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek. “Very.”

Dipper’s face melted into a dopey look for a moment before he straightened it back up again. “Then what could they possibly say against it?”

“You would really walk into a house full of human hating vampires, just for me?”

“That and more,” he answered, “Besides, compared to my first summer here, that’s nothing!”

You chuckled with him, tension of the conversation successfully eased, “You’ve still never told me about that.”

“We’ll meet your parents first, then I’ll relive those memories.”

With determination like that, it was hard to see how Dipper Pines would let anything get between the two of you. After all, he’d convinced you to let him try, what couldn’t he do?
