I should not be writing fanfiction right now, but this is short, soooo...
Enjoy, reviews are nice, and I own nothing.
The two were sitting in the bed of Eric's truck, looking up at the night sky.
"So those two bright stars that are together are the heads of Gemini and right next to them you can see Betelgeuse—" Butters explains to Eric, pointing out with his left finger.
"Wait, isn't that Mars?" Eric interrupts. He's holding onto Butters' right arm with both of his and his head his lying on the blond's shoulder.
"Mars is over there." Butters points to another red dot on the other end from where Betelgeuse is. "But you can tell that's Betelgeuse because right under it is Orion's belt."
Butters continues on his astronomy lesson and Eric listens and smiles. He turns to look at Butters and feels a twist in his stomach.
"Butters…"
"Yeah, Eric?"
Eric's heart is slamming against his chest as Butters looks expectantly at him. It's something he's wanted to say for a long time now, and in this very moment, Eric is so overwhelmed by how strongly he feels it, he has to finally say it. He licks his lip and moves his right hand up to caress Butters' cheek.
"I'm in love with you," Eric says.
Before Butters has time to process what has just been said to him, Eric's lips are on his own. Eric kisses him hard, wanting to pour all his love into these kisses so Butters knows he's telling the truth. But he's also afraid if he lets up from kissing, Butters will respond with a simple "thank you," and Eric knows he won't survive that.
They eventually break their kiss and lean their foreheads against each other's. Eric's hand is still on Butters' cheek and the blond raises his own hand and puts it on top of Eric's, smiling.
"I'm in love with you, too, Eric," Butters tells him, a blush creeping into his cheeks. He suddenly becomes bashful, and Eric thinks he's adorable.
They chastely kiss, and from the corner of his eye, Butters sees a shooting star.
"Look," he tells Eric, pointing at it. "Make a wish."
"You saw it first, you make a wish," Eric tells him, kissing his neck.
As Butters thinks of a wish, he nudges Eric, "Another one!"
Eric looks up and then sees two more shooting stars.
"It's a meteor shower!" Butters says gleefully, sitting up.
Eric sits up as well and they both stare up at the sky, grins on both their faces.
The meteor shower quickly ends, and Butters pulls Eric towards him so the brunette lays his head on the blond's chest.
"I guess the sky approves of our love," Butters giggles, running his hands through Eric's hair.
Eric mhmm's as he snuggles into Butters' chest, wrapping his arms around the blond's waist.
"I love you," Butters whispers into Eric's hair.
"I love you, too," Eric muffles into Butters' chest and sighs contently.
