The Gleeful triplets. Everyone in Gravity Falls knew who they were. And if they didn't, they were quickly informed.

Mabel Gleeful was the eldest and the most gorgeous of the three. From her startling blue eyes and brown hair that they all shared to the wicked curl of her ruby red lips, Mabel could have easily had any, and quite possibly every, boy in town. But, ever since she and her siblings had come to live in Gravity Falls, she had been dead set on none other than Gideon Pines.

Her brother Dipper, the middle triplet, loathed to hear of his elder sister's infatuation with the Pines boy. Dipper, in his mind, had always been the most rational and also the smartest of the three. However, others would claim differently. While Mabel's blue eyes were startling, Dipper's were more along the lines of fierce and cunning. Paired with the birthmark on his forehead and the ambitiousness that seemed to emanate from his very soul, Dipper was nothing short of intimidating. The middle Gleeful seemed to care solely about himself. Well, himself and his youngest sister.

Milah Gleeful was the youngest of the three. Where Mabel and Dipper were full of deadly beauty and frightening intimidation, Milah had an almost childlike air about her. Granted, she could be just as terrifying as her siblings if she so desired. But there seemed to be a permanent look of wonder in her blue eyes that kept others from immediately lumping her in with the other two.

Especially where Will Cipher was concerned.

Ever since the demon had been summoned, there had been some sort of spark between the two.

And it was something that her elder brother abhorred. To Dipper, Milah was precious. She was to have nothing but the best. She was his little sister, after all. Was it not his job to look after his sisters? Mabel could handle her own problems, this had been proven time and time again. But Milah had always been the weaker of the three, so Dipper and Mabel had always looked out for her and made sure that she wanted for nothing. Dipper more so than Mabel.

So when Mabel commented to him one day that his beloved baby sister and that snivelling demon seemed rather 'close', he was livid.

It wasn't that he was trying to dictate or obsess over how Milah lived her life, if she wanted to do something, no one could stop her-she was a Gleeful after all. But that pathetic excuse of an "otherworldly being" had no right to a relationship with Milah. No right at all.

And he had been fairly sure that he had made it clear that the worthless creature knew that he was nothing more than a slave to their family.

Which is why he decided that a well-deserved beating was in order soon after he had heard Mabel's statement.

He snapped his fingers, calling Will's attention away from his current task.

The blue-haired young man stopped his activity and quickly made his way to Dipper, carefully schooling his features to hide all emotion from the quick-to-anger 20 year old.

"Walk with me, Cipher." Dipper said, abruptly turning, thus giving the other no choice but to follow.

"Tell me something," the brunette began, deciding to cut straight to the chase, "tell me, what is your relationship with my sister?"

Dipper did not fail to notice the sudden tenseness that took over Will's shoulders, nor the slightest of strains in his voice as he spoke.

"She is kind. I am honored to be able to serve her."

The wheels inside of Dipper's mind began to turn. He continued on with his "mission", his voice shifting to hide all traces of anger and trickery that brewed inside of his cunning brain.

"Surely that's not all you have to say about her?" He gave his "companion" a wide grin. "Is there nothing else?"

Will became quiet as alarms rang out in his head. He had heard from others about how tricky talking to Dipper was-a real silver tongue, they said.

Dipper mentally frowned. This wouldn't work at all. He pressed a little harder, determined to hear what he wanted.

"Come on, Cipher. You can tell me. She is my baby sister, after all!"

Which is exactly why I don't want to tell you… Will thought.

But, as Dipper persisted, Will was quickly led into a false sense of security-something that the Gleeful male was astoundingly good at.

"You think she's pretty, right? At least tell me you think that she's pretty." Dipper said.

"I don't think she's pretty...I think she's beautiful." Will said quietly. "Far more beautiful than anyone I've ever seen. And she's absolutely wonderful. And-and-"

Dipper had, unbeknownst to Will, had ceased walking and had dropped all pretend niceties and was now quite literally shaking with ill-contained rage.

Will stopped, sensing Dipper no longer beside him and, upon seeing the other's face, froze in fear. He had been tricked. Instinctively, he stepped back, despite the fact that the action was futile.

Dipper's hand shot out and grabbed onto the front of the blue-haired male's dark button up vest, and slammed him up against a wall.

Will winced in pain at the force with which his back hit the wall.

Dipper's eyes glinted with anger and fury.

"How. Dare. You." He hissed. "You have no right to think of her in such a way. You are no more than a pet. A slave to this family. You have no right to think that way of anyone here as anything other than your master."

A well-placed fist sent Will sprawling to the floor only for him to be hauled to his knees for another.

"Dipper! Stop!"

The young man turned, releasing the front of Will's vest thus depositing him on the floor.

Milah's eyes met with Will's good one as she took in his busted lip and bloodied nose.

"Dipper! What did you do to him?!" She demanded, pushing her shocked brother to the side as she hurried towards Will.

"I was merely putting him in his place, dearest sister."

Milah's angry eyes flicked to her brother before they returned to Will, softening.

Mabel appeared in the doorway, having heard the commotion. Her inquiring look quickly turned back into her usual condescending expression as she took in the scene before her.

Milah gently placed her hand on Will's cheek, and neither of her siblings missed the way he slightly leaned into her touch.

A knowing and smug look appeared on Mabel's face while one of absolute fury formulated upon Dipper's.

"Milah," Mabel stated, having seen her brother's face, "why don't you help Will to his room and get him cleaned up?"

Milah nodded and helped the quiet boy to stand before she escorted him out, not even bothering to look back at Dipper.

As soon as they were gone, Mabel turned to her brother.

"Now why did you hit him?" She asked.

"He has no right being so...familiar with our sister in any way shape or form." Dipper said rather flippantly. "He is not good enough for her."

"Don't worry, brother dear. It's just a silly little infatuation, it'll pass." Mabel said with a wave of her hand.

Dipper lifted a brow. "Like you and that Pines boy?"

The brunette's face morphed into a scowl. "That's not an 'infatuation'. What Gideon and I have is true love."

Her brother snorted.

"Just let this run it's course. I mean, after all, what's the worst that could happen?"

"She could get hurt." Dipper stated.

"I doubt that little miscreant would even dare to try something like that."

"I still don't approve."

"Well, you might want to start trying. When Milah sets her mind to something, she's never not gotten it. You know that as well as I do, if not more so."

"I'm not going to simply let this go, sister dear."

"I would certainly hope not, brother dear."

Questions? Comments? Concerns? Ideas? Praise? Anything you want to see? I'm still working on a plot line so ideas are what I need! If you want something specific to happen, I'll most likely do it. Currently working on Chapter Two! Hopefully by Wednesday or this weekend I'll have it up! Cover picture is of my favorite portrayal of Human!Will Cipher done by JenniWren (she has an instagram) who is in videos with DeathArising Productions. I think she has the best portrayal of how I think this character is because she conveys a lot of innocence in this character and it's perfect for my story :)
