Accountabilibuddies
Warnings: None, really. Just young boykissing.
Notes: This is set just after the end of "Cartman Sucks". Also, you can see a clip from the episode with Bradley here; it's called "Bradley like likes Butters". You might want to download it; watching it on the site has sometimes crashed my browser. Butters POV.

------------------

Well, that worked out great!

I mean, I was almost in trouble there; I'm sure if my friend Bradley had killed himself, I'd have been punished for it. I guess that's fair – after all, he is my accountabilibuddy – but recently my punishments have been really confusing. Which is bad, because I'm being punished for being confused, which is even more confusing, and it leaves me confused.

But Bradley didn't kill himself! And my dad's finally accepting that I'm bi-curious (apparently), which means I can go home, and I got to save the day! I've learned from Stan and Kyle that whenever things are going badly and people are acting wrongly, all you have to do is make a little speech and everything will work out fine. I thought it just worked for them, but I tried it, and it worked for me too!

I pause in packing my clothes. I sure will miss Bradley, though; he's a good friend. A great friend. What other friend has told me that they think I'm great and terrific? No-one, that's who. They're always picking on me and calling me names and shitting in my mouth while I sleep; they never say anything nice about me at all!

I'd almost finished packing when Bradley walked into our room.

I give him a friendly grin. "Hey, accountabilibuddy!"

He smiles at me for a second, before speaking. "I… I 'd like to thank you for saving me. I'm really sorry I tried to kill myself."

"Hey, that's okay! It's what friends are for!"

He looks around the room, avoiding my eyes. "No. You've been really amazing to me." Now he looks straight at me and smiles contentedly. "I mean, I've never had a friend as great as you."

I mirror his smile. "Well, I've never had a friend as great as you either! I guess that makes us best friends."

He stares at me happily for a few seconds, before he notices my bag. "Wait, you're leaving?" he asks, his smile disappearing instantly.

"Yeah." I frown. "My dad's accepted that I'm bi-curious, so I can go home." I really will miss him.

He chewed on his nails. "I- I thought… I mean…" His eyes well up with tears. I didn't know he'd miss me that much. "I…was looking forward to spending time with you." He looked away from me.

I walk over to comfort him. "Well, I'll miss you too…" I pat his back. When he looks at me again, his eyes are so sad that I realize what I should do. "Well, if I talk to my dad, I guess I could ask to stay here."

"You would do that for me?"

"Well, sure!" He gives me the biggest smile I've ever seen on him. It's really nice that he likes me so much. I know that it's lying to stay here – I don't want to not be bi-curious – but Bradley needs me here, and he is my best friend.

Suddenly Bradley moves towards me and… kisses me? He must be doing it by accident. He's kissing me. Okay. My accountabilibuddy is kissing me. Still kissing me.

It's actually kind of… nice? Kind of icky, but in a nice way. Suddenly he backs away from me, looking scared. Now I really am confused. Suddenly it hits me.

"That's what being bi-curious is?"

Bradley just stares at me. "Yes?"

"Oh." I grin widely. "So I am bi-curious! Neat!"
