The black haired man stared at the small envelope held in his athletic hands, observing the feminine cursive writing on it which had read "To Stan Marsh, from Leopold Stotch". He sat on the fairly large black leather couch in the middle of the massive living room as the memories of his childhood played in his mind, triggered by the name written on the front. He imagined the bizarre antics he and his friends were up to in the past, almost missing the crazy adventures that could have potentially had them killed.
Stan unsealed the envelope, pulling out the small card which had been encased inside. It read:
"Dear Stan,
It sure has been a very long time since I've seen you! Ever since you moved into that house you inherited from your grandfather, all of us back here at South Park feel as though you've been distant. You rarely come to visit, not even for the holidays! It sure has felt rather incomplete, for lack of a better word, without you here. I would have called, but none of us know your number.
Anyway, I don't want to ramble as I feel you are busy, so I'll get straight to the point; Jason and I are getting married! He proposed almost seven months ago and it was the most magical thing that has ever happened to me! The wedding is exactly three weeks from today, we'd all be very happy if you came! It will be held at Stark's Pond. Give me a call! My number's still the same.
Your friend,
Butters Stotch"
A smile tugged at the corners of Stan's mouth as he read along, the memories of Kyle, Kenny, Cartman, and the other South Park residents flooded his mind. However, he couldn't help but frown at the thought of him leaving them all behind for the lifestyle he currently lives. Sure, he'd consider himself the most successful out of all the others back home, but the guilt ate away at him at how much of an asshole he must seem to everyone else.
He sighed, tossing the letter onto the table in front of him before stepping out onto the massive balcony, taking in the brisk Colorado air. He felt conflicted. Leaving South Park behind was probably the smartest thing he ever did, but also one of the worst mistakes he's ever made. Now, he doesn't have to worry about being in danger from any of the bizarre events that took place in that town. He's got a nice home, and plenty of money. But he doesn't have friends who understand him as Kyle once did, and doesn't feel completely happy.
He imagined how his life would be if he hadn't left. Perhaps he wouldn't feel he was missing out on anything. He'd have his abnormal, but loving family by his side. More importantly, he'd have the love of his life. The one person who occupied his mind every hour of every day; Butters Stotch.
Stan always felt it was rather off for him to have feelings for Butters, out of all people. It would have been a lot more easier to explain had it been Kyle or Wendy. But, it wasn't either of them. It was the blonde haired boy who was always the guinea pig of Cartman's insane ideas. He had a charm to him, a charm that reeled Stan in and never let him go. That charm, however, claimed somebody else, too.
He felt pathetic. What would Cartman say if he ever found out? Then again, when has he ever worried about what Cartman had to say?
Peering off into the distance, Stan battled the options in his mind. He could either suck it up and visit back home to see his childhood friends or stay here and pretend he didn't receive any notice. Both were rather poor ideas and Stan didn't want to do either of them. Going back home still won't change the fact that Butters would be marrying someone else.
As the day turned to night, Stan sat at the edge of his king sized bed. He always found it sad that such a massive bed only had one person sleeping in it. His brain began to hurt due to his constant thinking. He was torn. In anger, he tossed his phone across the room, shut the light, and went to bed. He'll think of something in the morning.
So, here is my first story! I apologize that it's not very lengthy, but it is only an introduction. The chapters will be a lot longer than this. I know Stan/Butters stories aren't very common on here, but I don't know why, I just really like this ship!
Also, I'd just like to address Jason is a canon character (he's mostly just background, but, still, he's on the show). Also, more information about Stan's feelings will be revealed as the story progresses.
