Hey fellas! How's it shakin'?
I've been gone for a while, I know... Though I took my time to work on my original stories, and on the way I managed to starts some more fanfics... which I will upload when I'm done, so don't give up on me :D

Alright, so this is a Kenny/ Butters fanfic, a romantic one (:
It also involves some Kyle/ Stan action, and more hinted pairings.

Butters stepped into his room, he was tired and Eric managed to ruin his day again. The only good thing so far was that his parents were working late, so he had a few hours alone. And he had already finished his homework at school.
He threw his schoolbag on the bed and went to sit at his desk, opening his laptop.
He couldn't help but smile when he saw the envelope icon appear on his computer. He opened the new email message.

From: REO at gmail . com

To: Butters.S at live . com

Oh, why you look so sad? The tears are in your eyes.

Come on and come to me now.

But don't, be ashamed to cry, let me see you through

Cause I've seen the dark side too

Don't let the small things get to you.
And give the big things a sweep kick in the behind.

Btw, do you know how cute you looked today?

- Romeo.

He sat there with a big goofy smile on his face.

It wasn't the first virtual love note he got from Romeo, it had been almost a year since he started getting these messages.
Romeo always finished with a heart and signed Romeo, and always started with a song that always had a connection to the events of the day.

When he got the first mail from Romeo, he freaked out. He didn't know if someone was playing a joke on him, or if someone was actually in love with him (which looked absolutely impossible). When he finally calmed down, he started researching.

And made a list:

1. Romeo was going to South Park High School, and in the same grade as him. Almost 90% sure he was in the same class as him, or he was just very good at knowing the gossip, because otherwise there was no way he could know what happened in the classroom and in Butter's personal life.

2. He was almost sure Romeo was a boy. Well, mostly because he called himself Romeo, and because he knew girls in his grade, got along fine with them, and he knew none of them was in love with him.

3. Romeo knew Butters, and most importantly- Butters knew him. In one of his mails Romeo hinted at that fact. And he knew how to cheer Butters up like it was his profession.

4. Romeo was in love with Butters, he didn't show it in the real world, but he was one of the few people who didn't find amusement in teasing him.

And after half a year, he had 3 possible people in his class which matched to the list:
Token, Stan and... Kenny.

Token got kicked out of the list a few weeks later, when Bebe told Butters about Token's crush on Wendy.

When Butters started noticing the looks Stan gave and received from Kyle, he was out of the list too.

And that left Kenny.

Kenny flirted with everyone, well, almost everyone. He didn't flirt with Butters, didn't talked to him a lot actually, only small 'Hey, bye' conversations. And that was another hint for Butters, Kenny felt too shy to talk to him.

But he sure hoped it was Kenny.

No one knew, but Butters admired Kenny. Kenny was popular, without even trying, and he was good looking, and a smooth talker who didn't have a problem talking to anybody, well except Butters. The fact that he was poor was the only thing his friends made fun of.

Butters was shy, although he did build a little self confidence over the years, but he was still shy. He didn't feel shy being around Bebe and Wendy, and he could talk freely around them, but they were his best friends. Butters was quiet, and thin (skinny actually), and he looked quite girly (though Romeo said he liked the way Butters looked), and he was pretty short. He was nothing like Kenny.

Kenny had muscles because he worked at a garage and had to lift heavy things most of the time. After 2 years, he wasn't skinny, but he was trim, lean AND had muscles. Butters was just skinny.

When Butters added Kenny to the list, he almost stopped breathing. It was impossible, but Kenny matched perfectly.

Kenny and Butters did know each other, but only because they grew up together. Kenny never teased Butters, and sometimes even stood up for him. And Kenny was a boy, Butters was quite sure of that, and a small amount of information from Bebe assured the fact that he was a boy.

Butters didn't only have a girly body structure; the way he dressed was girly, though it made him quite attractive. Because he was so thin, his skinny jeans weren't so tight on his legs, which was perfect, and he always matched his shirt and jacket with his pants and shoes. He may look like a girl, but at least he was a girl with style. Romeo always commented about the way he looked, a positive comment of course. His hair was long, he didn't cut it for long periods of time, and he always put it in a nice ponytail.

Girls were never attracted to him, although neither were boys. Well, other than Romeo of course.

He prayed at night that Romeo was Kenny; he hoped so much and wanted it so badly that he knew if he was wrong that his heart would break.

Catching himself wondering, he shook his head and decided to reply to the message he got.

How is it that you know how to brighten my day when it feels like it's at the bottom of the ocean?
And thanks, I really liked the outfit I wore today, I too think it looked really good. (:

Why do you know me so well- when I don't know you at all? Does it have to be like this?

- Butters

Butters pressed the send bottom, and went to close his computer, knowing he probably wouldn't get a reply until tomorrow.

He almost closed the computer when an orange light appeared and a new window opened.

Romeo: I don't know what you're talking about, you do know me.

Butters was shocked, and went to right back.

Butters: No I don't. How can I know you if I don't even know who you are?

Romeo: Yes you do. But for now, I think it's good if you don't know who I am.

Butters: Ugh, fine.

Romeo: Other than my real identity, what do you want to know?

Butters stopped for a moment to think. What can he ask to make sure Romeo is Kenny, what question could give him away, how can he know it's him without being forward?

Butters: Are you on any sports team? Do you do sports at all?

Kenny is not an athlete. He is good at sports and PE is one of the only classes he has an A in, but he's not an athlete and sports would be the last thing he'd be doing in his free time.

Romeo: No, sports are not my thing.

Kaching. Bingo. Goal. A first check on the list!

Butters: Have you ever had a relationship?

Although he was a flirt, Kenny did have a couple of girlfriends through the years.

Romeo: Yes I have.

Now Butters was almost sure it was Kenny, though there was something in the back of his head that said Maybe it's not him, maybe I was wrong all along, maybe he's not even in the same class as me - or grade even. He needed more, he needed to make sure.

Romeo: Have you fallen asleep?

Butters giggled at the question, It took him a long time find a new question.

Butters: No, I was just spacing out for a moment. Do you have any siblings?

Romeo: In fact I do.

Kenny had 2 siblings, in fact, over the years, Butters got to know Karen, Kenny little sister. Since Karen started going to South Park High, he had been helping her with her homework, and they are quite good friends now.

Butters: Is there something specific that you like?

Romeo: Other than you? Cars, I think.

Butters couldn't help but blush, his Romeo can be so embarrassingly romantic sometimes.

Romeo: Sorry, but I have to go now. Have a good night, I know you have a free evening because you finished all your homework at the library today when you had a free hour.

And with that, Romeo went offline, just like that. Butters was shocked, he actually knew everything about him: his actions, his looks, somehow it was kind of creepy, but the fact that it may be Kenny helped Butters put the weirdness out of the whole situation.

With nothing else to do, he opened his contact list. Luckily, Wendy was online.

Butters: Hey, Wendy (:

Wendy: Hey! How are you?

Butters: I'm bored, I have nothing to do.

Wendy: Gosh, I'm still at school. Gonna finish here soon. U wanna go to the mall when I'm finished?

Butters: Sure, ready when u r.

Wendy: Cool. Kenny's here and he's leaving soon, I'll go with him. meet u at the mall in 30 minutes.

Butters did not know what to do with himself. Reading Wendy's last massage again and again, THAT was the sign he was looking for.

He knew Wendy needed to print some paper work and the copy machine was in the computer class. She probably spotted Kenny sitting at one of the computers and that's why he had to close his email, and he probably offered to wait for her, Well, she is one of his good friends.

Butters typed as fast as he could.

Butters: Ask Kenny if he wants to come too, we'll eat dinner together. I'll see u in 30 minutes. Bye.

And he went offline.

Well, that's it for now (:
I hope the next chapter will come soon, i'm half way there! Almost finished.
It might take a while for me to upload again because I'm very busy with school until the end of January, lots of tests and stuff. And I need to work on my historical research very hard, so I can hand it in on time.

But I hope I'll be able to upload again soon, after all.

So, please be patient (:

I love ya'll 3
