When the Sun Left Me

A Boomercup Fic

Then the pain it turned to anger
Moved to joy, so now I'm good

—The Maine (Waiting For my Sunshine)—

When I saw the girl of my dreams I didn't recognize who she was at first; I was just too blinded by darkness and pride. And the fact that I was too caught up in the past didn't help with my predicament. But can you blame me though? The girl that I thought was my dream girl ended up falling for my brother.

To me, she was the sun. The shimmering golden ball of fire in the sky that lights up the world, my world. But when she left all was dark. Just plain old darkness. I couldn't see which way I should go anymore. I couldn't see which was the right path to take anymore. I was just blinded.

I was so angry. Angry at Bubbles for not loving me. Angry at Butch for making her fall in love with him. and I was angry at myself for being too darn dense to not notice anything until it was too late; my sun had already set. But she woke me up one day. She didn't even realized that she was doing it. With her silver light, she brought back my sight.

She was angry too. Butch left her. The same reason why Bubbles left me. We were both damaged goods. One in the same. And perhaps throughout the revenge plotting (mostly Buttercup) and eye bawling (mostly me sadly) that was how we slowly grew a sense of kinship towards one another. And thanks to that kinship, we healed each other's wounds.

At first she was reluctant. She avoided me like plague when I accidentally freaked her out with my confession. But I was nothing but determined. She was the one. She wasn't the sun. She was even a star; she was far too rare for that. She was, is, my moon. The silver ball of light in the sky that shone in the darkness when I thought I was never going to see again.

When the sun left , the moon found me.

Question: Who's your favorite Ruff out of the three of them? And you're least favorite?

Mine would be, Boomer for favorite and Brick for least favorite.

At least for fanfic wise I truly adore the way fanfictioners portray Boomer. He's just so freaking sweet! While Brick, well, he seems too flirty for my taste in fanfiction land but I still love him though, but not as much as Boomer and Butch.

Anyway, I hope you like this one shot!
