So here is the follow-up to This Isn't Easy and Even You Can't Ignore Him. There's not much to say about it but it's a little soppy and I should be doing the next few chapters soon. Anyway, hope you like it, review and PM me if you have anything to say.


BUTTER'S POV:

"Butters, where are you going so late?"

"It's not late, dad. It's 10:00 o'clock. I'm going to see Ruta."

"Alright, just remember, if things get serious, use-"

"Yeah, yeah, I know, you don't have to say it."

I pulled the hood of my sweatshirt up and walked out the door. It was dark but luckily the street lights illuminated my path. Ruta had called me an hour before but I had to finish off this stupid project so I couldn't leave.

I hope she won't be too angry with me.

I continued down the street and saw Ruta's house. I quickly walked up to the door, took a deep breath and knocked on it.

Ruta's brother, Ricky, answered it.

"Oh, hey, Leo. You here to see Ruta?"

"Yeah."

"Come in." He pulled open the door and let me go past. I yanked down the hood of my sweatshirt when I saw Clyde sat on the couch, half-asleep with a blanket over his legs. Ricky shut the door and sat down next to Clyde.

He kissed him on the cheek and pulled the blanket back over both of them. As I began to walk up the stairs, Ricky pulled Clyde into a spooning position and kissed him again. I smiled, feeling happy for them not being afraid to show affection for each other in front of anyone.

I continued upstairs and moved to Ruta's bedroom door. I knocked using our secret knock. Two then one then two. There wasn't a reply. I turned the handle on the door and gently pushed it open.

What I saw was probably the cutest thing my eyes have ever had the pleasure of viewing.

Ruta, curled up on her couch, fast asleep, sucking her thumb. She had tried as hard as she could to stay awake but had lost her battle with the forces of slumber.

Without even thinking, I got out my phone, took a picture and set it as my wallpaper. I leant down next to her and kissed her forehead.

There was something I finally felt ready to say to her.

"I love you." I whispered into her ear.

I stood up, walked towards her door and looked back as I passed through it.

I wonder if she heard what I said.

I sighed, shut the door and walked back downstairs. Clyde and Ricky were now in a deep sleep, Ricky gripping his boyfriend tightly.

I opened the door and slowly strode out. I shut it quietly and looked up at Ruta's bedroom window.

"I love you so much, Ruta." I whispered as I felt a tear roll down my cheek.

I solemnly walked back down the road to my house, a million thoughts of Ruta going through my head.

And I loved every single one.
