"Hey, Kenny?"
The voice is soft & very quiet, laying right on the other side of Kenny's head. Kenny turns his head from his blank gaze on the ceiling to the speaker.
"Yeah, Butters?"
Butters turns & looks back at him.
"Are we lovers?"
Kenny blinks at him.
"What?"
Slowly, Butters turns back so he's looking at the ceiling again, knuckles rasping under the sheets of Butters' bed that they're both laying under.
"My mom told me that when two people sleep together, they become lovers."
Kenny just stared at Butters blankly still. Silly, Butters. He didn't understand what his mom really meant. That naïve, eh? But Kenny knew what the other blond's mom meant.
"So, are we?"
Butters asks, rolling onto his side to look at Kenny, resting his head on his hands. Kenny stares him in the eyes a moment, seeming half-asleep.
"Kenny?"
"Yeah."
Kenny shifts slightly, moving closer to Butters & then closing his eyes. He didn't really want to disappoint Butters or break into some kind of argument just because Butters didn't understand. Besides, Kenny was tired. He'd rather go to sleep right now more than anything.
"I guess we are, Butters."
