I do not own the Powerpuff Girls...
'How did I get so lucky and meet a woman like her?' Brick thought as he gazed at his girlfriend.
Yep. Brick and Blossom have been dating for about five years and have been going strong. To think the pair and their siblings were once enemies and have had a history of violence and mayhem. That all soon changed as the Powerpuff Girls and Rowdyruff Boys got older and attended high school together. Much to Blossom and Brick's dismay, they were both in the gifted program and had most of their classes together.
Slowly, but surly, the two started talking and making friendly conversation from time to time. Blossom even had to admit to herself that Brick got really good looking and started to have an attraction to him. He was the soccer captain after all and girls were fawning over him. But she already had a boyfriend, Dexter, whom was very jealous of her and verbally abused her, for he was jealous that she and her sisters were popular with her classmates and much smarter than him to the point it threatened his ego. Dexter didn't like Blossom being a cheerleader with Bubbles.
"Cheerleaders are stupid and are easy sluts. Don't be a stupid, easy slut." he told her.
One day, no longer wanting to put up with Dexter and his put downs, Blossom ended it with Dexter.
"About time!" Buttercup said. "You deserve better. I couldn't stand his pompous attitude."
Blossom was happy she ended things with Dexter too because he would insult her sister's to her face. He called Bubbles a ding bat and Buttercup "more muscles and no brains." After her break up, she was obviously heartbroken and struck up a friendship with Brick. He surprisingly made her smile again. Brick one day took her by surprise after school one day to leave a rose on her locker with a note that said,
I was waiting for the day you broke up with him. I have always thought you were beautiful for the longest time. And I figured since you are no longer with Dexter, we can start going out. But if you aren't ready, for you need more time to heel, I understand.
Blossom responded to Brick's letter but surprising him at his soccer practice and kissed him in front of the whole soccer team. This earned Brick high praise from his teammates. Since then, Blossom and Brick started a relationship, much to their siblings dismay, even attending the prom together.
After high school, Blossom and Brick went off to college. He was in community college working part time loading crates while Blossom was going to Yale working in the student cafe. They managed to make their relationship work, even away in college. Nothing could break them up. As a graduation present to Blossom, Brick surprised her with a trip to Paris, since she always talked about how she wanted to visit Paris.
But little did Blossom know, Brick had another surprise in store.
After a nice romantic dinner, the two stood on top of the Eiffel Tower taking in the view of the gorgeous city of Paris. Around them were other tourists. Blossom noticed Brick looking at her and asked, "You okay?"
"Yeah." Brick said. "You're just beautiful."
"I bet you say that to all the girls." Blossom joked.
"Nope. Just to you." Brick scoffed.
"I can't thank you enough for this present." Blossom started. "It's always been my dream to visit Paris. Now I can cross something off my bucket list."
"Let's just say putting in extra hours and taking double shifts was worth it." Brick said.
During their relationship, Brick became somewhat of a workaholic much to Blossom's dismay. He barely could hang out and was always working. She only saw him once a week at most. Now she can say it was absolutely worth it.
"Yeah. I use to get so mad when you had to work. Bubbles say to me, 'Blossom, he's a hard worker. You should be happy he isn't unemployed and laying around in his underwear eating nachos and drinking beer all day.' She's crazy!" Blossom laughed.
Brick scoffed. He and Bubbles developed a "big brother, little sister" friendship. Buttercup on the other hand, was super protective of Blossom and told Brick, "If you hurt Blossom, I swear, I will hurt you in your sleep! Don't you dare try me!"
"Hey, Bloss," Brick started, "I just hope this is everything you ever wanted."
"I chose you, didn't I?" Blossom replied.
"Yes. You did." Brick took Blossom's hands. "Blossom, you and I have been together for a while. I have to say these past five years are the best years of my life and I wouldn't change any of it for the world. Ever since high school, I always thought you were so beautiful but I was secretly crushed when you picked Dexter. And the fact you came into my life after, made me the happiest ever. So...with all that being said..."
Brick got down on one knee making Blossom's eyes grow wide.
"What are you doing?" Blossom asked.
Brick pulled out a box in his back pocket. With is hands shaking, he opened it up and revealed a beautiful princess cut diamond ring. The ring had tiny pink stones around it.
"Blossom, will you do me the privilege in becoming my wife and making me the happiest man alive?" Brick asked.
"Oh my gosh...yes! Yes! Yes! Hell yes!" Blossom cried.
Brick got up and slid the ring on her finger. As her took Blossom into his arms and kissed her, the tourists around them cheered and applauded. The newly engaged couple blocked out the noise and took in the moment.
"How long have you been planning this?" Blossom asked.
"Believe it or not, I have been saving up for this ring since we entered high school. I had the feeling you were going to me the one I ask to marry me so I started to put cash away." Brick laughed.
"I hope you got my family's permission." Blossom added.
"Before this trip, I actually had dinner with you dad while you were working and he said yes. Bubbles, Buttercup and I went shopping for the ring and they told me to get you the biggest diamond." Brick said. "What do you think?"
"I love it." Blossom said. "I can't believe I'm going to be a bride. This is like a dream."
"I was hoping you would think this would be better than a dream but okay." Brick said sarcastically.
Blossom nudged his arm.
"Let's go back to the hotel. I have phone calls to make!" Blossom said as she took Brick by the hand and the two made their way back to their hotel.
