Chapter One
(A/N: My first SP fanfic on here, so please be nice!)
Disclaimer: I don't own South Park, sadly. If I did, there'd be moar yaoi! :D
Butters never knew why, but for some reason he knew that he had found the one. It wasn't like 'Love-At-First-Sight' or him being 'Head-Over-Heels'. No, it was nothing like that. It was different. He actually felt loved. But the one he loved, was oblivious and seemed to not notice Butters as much anymore. The one Butters was so in love with, so too 'Head-Over-Heels' with a certain raven-haired girl. Its been eight years since Butters found out he was a homosexual. Okay, so he didn't exactly know he was, but courtesy to Eric Cartman, he always thought he was.
And it wasn't until he was in sixth grade did he actually notice the football athlete of a guy. But he'd never love Butters. Because he was straight and he was too in love with Wendy to notice him. Poor Butters. Always alone. Well, he'd have to change that, now wouldn't he?
Butters took a deep breathe and exhaled quietly as he pushed himself to the bus stop. He was in high school now, and yet, he still looked somewhat the same. He grew out his hair a little though. He had more hair than he did when he was a kid, so that was good. At least, Stan noticed it. And that only made Butters' insides flutter.
Butters still hung around Eric Cartman, though he wouldn't necessarily call them 'friends' anymore. They were more like 'acquaintances'. If Eric would stop trying to kill Kyle for once, he'd actually notice the way Kyle looked at him. But the fat ass was too stubborn to see it. Well, at least that's what he told himself. Okay, so Eric Cartman wasn't that fat anymore. He was more…stealthy now, but still. Everyone still called him fat ass, and everyone would continue to do so until the brunette was dead.
Butters shook his head and let his mind wander away from Eric's world and back into his own. Stan Marsh was a beautiful young man. He was to be seventeen in a few months, and Butters couldn't wait. Of course, once again, it only brought Butters to sigh. He knew well enough that Stan was straight, everyone knew it, so why did he continue to try? Because even though Butters grew up as the 'homosexual' in the group of teens, he actually grew up with more confidence than the rest, which actually would surprise a lot of them, if they even bothered figuring it out. But no one cared. No one cared about Butters Stotch, because Butters was just another nobody.
But not to Stan Marsh.
If Butters could see through his own misery, he'd notice that Stan didn't think Butters as a nobody. Sure, he didn't think of him as a lover, but as a friend. And if being friends was all they could be, that golly, Butters would surely take it. Because Butters would never give up. It's just not who he was.
Butters sighed again and stared out across the street, waiting for the bus to arrive, or, at least, someone to talk to. That's when Kyle Broflovski arrived. Though Jew he was, he wasn't as bad as Eric had claimed he was. In fact, Butters kind of admired Kyle for staying so strong through-out all these years. Oh, Eric and Kyle still did fight, and Eric did still call Kyle, 'Kahl' but they just didn't fight like they used to. Butters guessed it was because of all the sexual tension radiating off of each other. Which is actually true.
"Hey Butters!" Kyle called as he walked over to his friend. A big smile was on the redhead's face as he approached the blond. Butters tilted his head at Kyle and smiled softly. He could tell that the Jew had done his homework at a very late hour last night, which surprised him. Actually, no, it didn't . Ever since Junior High, Kyle took a hold of his life and did what he wanted. He didn't want to be a lawyer; he was actually saying he wanted to be a Veterinarian instead. Good for Kyle.
Butters smiled warmly at the Jew and nodded. "H-Hello Kyle. How are you this m-morning?" So, Butters still had a bit of a stutter, at least It wasn't as bad as Tweek's. Tweek's was terrible! With all that caffeine in his system, Butters was surprised the boy was still alive! Nonetheless, he still stuttered. Butters even had a bit of a baby accent still. Everyone always though t it was kind of cute, which always made Butters blush.
Kyle's smile seemed to grow bigger – if possible – as Butters asked him how he was. "Oh, I'm just doing alright, Butters. A little tired, but I'm good. How are you? I hope you're doing okay." Kyle gave Butters that knowing look, and it made Butters look away and look at his shoes instead. Okay, so maybe Kyle knew a thing or two about Butters, but it really wasn't a big deal. The redhead was very observant, nonetheless, so he knew Butters pretty well.
After a moment or so, Butters looked up at Kyle and smiled slightly. "Eh, I-I'm doing a-alright, actually. A l-little ex-excited, but good." He looked back down at his shoes, but looked up when he heard crunching noises in front of him. When he looked up, he saw him. Stan Marsh was walking towards the two with a big smile on his face. He looked…relieved for some reason. And Butters was curious as to why.
"Hey guys! Guess what?" The raven-haired teenager asked with a big grin on his face.
Butters blinked and Kyle and him shared an awkward glance, before turning back to Stan. Kyle shrugged his shoulders slightly at him. "Uh, I dunno. What?"
Butters bit his bottom lip, hoping he wasn't going to say something about Wendy, though he knew by his face that it was about her. And that made him kind of..sad, though he'd never admit to it. Butters maybe confident, but having the one man he love know how he feels when he's completely straight, is kind of beyond his wall of confidence.
"Wendy and I…"
Butters turned his gaze down to the ground as Stan was speaking.
"Were talking last night and…"
Here it goes.
They're probably going to get married or something. Or she's pregnant. That idea just made Butters sick and even more sad. Poor kid.
"And, we decided…"
Oh please don't let it be anything bad! Please. Butters silently prayed.
"Its time for a break."
Huh?
"She said she wants to break up and I said fine. So, now, she's going after Clyde – I'm guessing she has had a crush on him in forever – and I get to flirt with anyone I want to." Stan stood proudly at that. Proudly? Why exactly? Butters was curious, because he thought Stan was in love with her! Not just the one-night-stand kind of love either.
Just than, Eric Cartman and Kenny McCormick came walking over to them and Stan turned to talk to them and tell them the 'good news'. That gave Kyle the chance to do what he was going to. He elbowed Butters in the sighed and whispered, "There's your chance, kid, better get him before he goes back to The Bitch."
And that made Butters day turn from hell, to being heaven.
(A/N: Kay, so YAY TO BUTTERS! Yes, I hate Wendy/Stan. Stan should be with Butters! They're so cute :D Hehe. Working on next chapter tomorrow, maybe!)
