-Chapter 1: Blossoming relationship-
It was a sunny day in the city of Townsville, our favorite heroines are getting ready for another day of school. The lime clad Powerpuff grabs her backpack in a grumble, not being a fan of school while her baby blue clad sister was humming happily putting her color pencils in her backpack, meanwhile the leader of the sisters was already downstairs preparing breakfast as she had gotten ready before her sisters.
Blossom Utonium was her name and she was thinking of how much her life had changed in the last few months.
It has been about a month since she and her male counterpart, Brick started dating. Before they began their relationship, their relationship had been very rocky and messed up to be frank but as time went on they unwillingly fell for the other until both decided to accept their feelings and now live happier since they can be honest with each other and themselves.
Blossom felt saddened at the thought of having to keep her relationship secret to her sisters but she knew they would never approve and would only make things harder for them, specially Buttercup.
Unfortunately Brick still continued to be a villain along with his brothers but since they began dating Brick has been more gentle and nicer to her than before, so she hopes to make him a law-abiding citizen but she knows it will take time so she is taking baby steps until she reaches her goal.
The Powerpuff girls begin eating their breakfast and chat a little about school before flying off to their school.
The day passes calmly with no emergency calls from the mayor and before class is over Ms. Keane announces.
"Tomorrow I will assign a project, I will give you more information tomorrow meanwhile have a good rest of the day" says with a soft smile.
The Powerpuff girls fly off and Buttercup comments "Hope its a group project so we can be together"
The red headed leader rolls her eyes at that 'She just wants me to do all the work as always' she thinks dryly.
Soon the Powerpuff girls reach their house and each go to do their own activities, Bubbles and Blossom head to their room while Buttercup goes to the living room to watch a football game, Bubbles begins drawing while Blossom reaches for her book, Great expectations, another Charles Dickens book.
The hours pass by and soon she looks to the clock and sees its time for her daily date with Brick.
Before they started dating, she dreaded whenever it was time to see him, she also saw that time as their meetings instead of dates like she sees them now.
The red headed leader flies to their meeting spot and waits besides a lamp post, minutes passed and as always he was late, thankfully she soon learned it was stupid for her to arrive early to their dates so she started to come in time.
'Well he is slightly getting better with his tardiness sometimes he is only a few minutes late which means he is actually trying to be on time.'
As minutes went on, she sighs.
Emphasis on how he tries to be on time.
She soon felt arms around her and she looked back to see familiar crimson eyes and a handsome smirk.
"Hey" Brick whispered "Missed me, Red?"
"Well seeing how we just saw each other yesterday, no" Blossom said with a slight smile.
"Really? Cause I missed ya" Brick says and tightens his hold in her.
"I doubt that, as you are once again late to our date" Blossom says coldly.
"Nah, you are just too early" He argues.
"Not really, we agreed to see each other at 7 pm and that's the time I arrived" The pink clad girl said matter-of-factly.
"Pftt what's…" Brick says and looks at the town clock "10 minutes late"
Blossom follows his line of sight and says "it's 25 minutes late"
"Whatever" the red headed boy says and carries her to their destination.
'If Brick came to school with me he would actually learn how to read a clock' Blossom thought as she was being carried.
He takes her to a secluded part of the park, probably so no one sees them.
After settling besides each other Brick begins telling her about the crimes him and his brothers did yesterday night, making her feel guilty and saddened.
The red headed girl frowns and wishes he stopped being a criminal, he knows she doesn't approve of that but he still continues, Brick and his brothers own the night and Blossom and her sisters can't do anything because of a deal they made.
"But yeah we have been feeling pretty bored lately" Brick says after listing all his crimes.
"Oh really? Is that why you and your brothers decided to do crimes in daytime as well?" Blossom asks him.
"Yep my bros just wanna find an excuse to fight your sisters and I want an excuse to see you early" he says as he nuzzles her cheek and then gives her a peck.
Blossom mentally rolls her eyes and nuzzles him.
Few times this month the Rowdyruff boys have wrecked havoc in the daylight and while the Greens and Blues fought, the Reds would sneak away and have an early date.
"If you want to see me more, I have an idea" Blossom says.
"Hm? What do you propose?" He asks.
She give him a pretty smile, "For you to come to school with me"
Brick widens his eyes and just stares at her, before cracking up in laughter.
Blossom irked at his response says "Why are you laughing? I'm serious!"
"C'mon Red, you know I'm a villain, I can't go to school, besides havin' my nose stuck in a book isn't my thing" Brick says after his laughter died down.
"There's more to just studying! T-there are other activities, such as drawing and sports a-and…" Blossom said trying to think of more things you do at school.
She loved studying so she enjoyed that part but she knew Brick didn't reciprocate.
"Eh If I wanna draw, I'll spray paint a wall and I can just hoop some basketballs to do sports" Brick said disinterested.
Blossom pouts.
Brick grins when he sees her pouty face and hugs her tighter.
"C'mon Red don't give me that pouty face ya know how much I love it when you do"
"Yeah, yeah I know how you love to see me angry or miserable" Blossom huffs.
"Nah I love all your expressions, from your pouty face to your confident smile"
Blossom feels her cheeks warm from his words.
"Though my favorite has to be your blushing face" Brick smiles and pulls her to another kiss, this one more passionate than their last one.
When they both part, she holds him close and thinks.
'There has to be something that Brick could like about school'
After a few seconds Blossom couldn't think of anything so she resorted to her last resort.
Blossom puts one hand on his cheek and holds eye contact with him, "If you go to school we could be together longer" the pink clad girl says while fluttering her eyelashes.
He stares at her, maybe thinking about it but then says "Nah, how about you ditch school and be with me"
"Ugh! You know I can't do that!" The pink clad girl exclaims.
"Sure you can, hell ditch your place while you're at it and come live with me" Brick says nonchalantly.
The pink clad girl sighs, "I have lived with you and It wasn't ideal"
Blossom remember the awful memory of being chained and forced to stay with him.
"Tch, that was different we were still enemies back then, now we're together" Brick says angrily.
Blossom perked up at his words, 'Together... that's true Brick has been slightly more gentle and nicer since we began dating.'
"Besides this time it will just be you and me, my brother won't live with us" Brick stated.
'That was a relief, back when I was forced to live with them, I always had to listen to Butch rant and throw things and hear Boomer say stupid things' Blossom thought dryly 'Wait...Blossom be reasonable!'
"Still I think we're too young to live together maybe in the future" The red headed girl said with a gentle smile.
"Yeah, yeah, it's not like I can leave my brothers alone they'll be doomed without me" The red clad boy replied with a huff.
Blossom giggled, 'Brick might be tough but he still cares for his brothers.'
The red headed couple snuggled up and talked about other things, Brick talked about what he did with his brothers thankfully not mentioning any more crimes.
"Boomer then said "is that a bird?" when a friggin' butterfly was flyin' around! Sometimes I question his eyesight and not just his stupidity" Brick says.
Blossom giggles and then hears a familiar ringtone and checks her phone and sees its a text from Buttercup telling her to hurry home.
A few weeks ago Buttercup was fed up that Blossom came very late, sometimes came the next day so she convinced the professor into buying the three girls a cellphone each and he agreed as long as they were responsible with them, the next day Blossom told Brick she had a cellphone and surprise, surprise the next day he got one as well, Blossom was sure he didn't buy that but didn't feel like getting another headache and simply let it go.
"It's time for me to go" The pink eyed girl told her crimson eyed boyfriend.
"Can't Buttercup busy herself and let you come back when you want to" Brick hissed.
Blossom sighed, Brick always got pouty when she had to go specially since they started dating.
"At least we see each other everyday" Blossom gives him a kiss in the cheek "I'll see you tomorrow, okay?"
She was about to fly away when he grabbed her hand "If you wanna give me a goodnight kiss at least do it right"
With that the red clad boy pulls his pink glad girlfriend to him and kisses her in the lips.
After a moment they part and blossom blushes and gives a soft smile "Okay Brick see you tomorrow"
The leader of the Powerpuff girls flies away, heading to her home.
The red eyed boy looks at the annoyingly familiar streak of pink fly away from him.
"Damn it, I really hate it when she leaves" He mutters.
They meet up everyday, but that's still not enough for him.
The stupid idea of going to school seemed a bit more appealing now.
'Ugh! Hell no! I'm a Rowdyruff boy, we are rebels we don't go to school besides I'll be a pain to convince Boomer and Butch to go to school' He mentally ranted.
But he was going to find a way to spend more time with her.
