Blossoms POV
I felt terrible for lieing to my sisters but Brick was right, after the way they reacted when they just thoughtwe were going out, imagine how they'd react if they found out we actually were going out.
But like I have been for a while now I managed to cover it well and pretend like everything is normal…I'm a horrible human being.
It wasn't my fault that I couldn't tell them I mean if they were open to the idea of the RRB's and the PPG's living as best friends and possibly more than that then I wouldn't have to keep it a secret. Really I'm doing the right thing… I hope.
I know Bubbles has no problem with the Rowdyruffs especially Boomer but I don't think she fully trusts them and I know Buttercup definitely doesn't trust them as far as she can throw them, although actually that's pretty far so never mind.
But I mean once you get to know them they aren't that bad, they can actually be pretty friendly, okay they are a bit boisterous but it's to be expected they aren't call the Rowdyruffs for nothing.
Buttercups POV
I felt such relief knowing that the whole Brick/Blossom thing was a lie but at the same time I felt guilty, seeing how "happy" they were it was so real, then again I know they are close friends even though Blossom tries to deny it.
Either way I feel like I stopped the inevitable just based on my own problem, I mean if Blossom really wanted to date Brick then I as her sister I should support her right?
I have no right to try and control them, but we are family and families are meant to look after each other. One of us gets in trouble or leaves we're in complete, we're a unit, a team. I don't think it's selfish of me to stop my sisters from doing something because I wouldn't do it.
Then again how big of a difference would it make to us if one left, I mean if Blossom ran off with Brick me and Bubbles would probably still fight crime, and I might actually be able to become leader, and I doubt Blossom will just give up fighting crime all together I mean on slow days we go out looking for it just for the thrill, not that the other two would admit it. Plus I'm sure we will still see each other, leader girls too decent and caring to block us out.
But still what if she does. No I did a good thing, I was in the right. Bricks sneaky and slimy and she deserves better.
Bubbles POV
Well I for one am so happy that everything is sorted and we have no more to worry about. No more lieing, secrets or hiding. Finally things can go back to the way they were.
Of course I personally think Brick and Blossom would make a great couple, sure they are different but they're still counterparts and their differences are what make them such a good couple.
Bricks more relaxed whereas Blossom is more driven. Brick likes to take things at a steady pace, Blossom has no pace. They complete each other. They're like Yin and Yang.
They'd be so cute together of course not as cute as me and Boom-
Uh never mind. I certainly don't think about Boomer anymore, not since I was like… five but I was young then. Yes I definitely don't think of him now not ever. Well maybe when I see him in school or around town like on Thursdays at 3pm when he goes out and bus sweets from the corner store. No never think of him.
No one's POV
The next few hours before everyone fell asleep were filled with awkwardness as no one knew how to act or what to say.
Once everyone woke up in the afternoon the Wilkins sisters went home and all that were left were the girls sitting in the living room bored.
"Well anyone have any ideas as to what we can do today?" Blossom asked not enjoying the silence.
"Nope, but I don't really feel like doing anything today." Bubbles replied.
Buttercup just remained quiet clearly thinking about something.
"Well I think I'm gonna go fly round the city for a bit, if you don't mind." Blossom said standing up and making her way out.
"Okay I'll call you when dinners ready." Bubbles said as Blossom left
Buttercup stood up shortly after Blossom went and just went out the door.
"Okay… bye Buttercup I'll make sure… to call you…too."
****************With Blossom******************
Blossoms POV
I had to get out of there. My guilt was getting worse. I can't even act normal around my own sisters!
I won't be able to keep this up for long. I'm sure that I will break soon. I'm pretty sure I'm about to have a heart attack. My guilt has gone too far and I only have myself to blame.
I don't think I can handle this.
Through my inner turmoil I had subconsciously made my way to Bricks "house" well I should rather say den. Actually make that tree house. But it was still pretty cool.
Anyway here I am, at the door and luckily Brick answered smiling at me, I tried to play it cool but he could see straight through it and his face became one of concern.
He then led me in and to his room and shut the door behind us. I sat down on his bed.
"Where are your brothers?" I noticed the house was quieter than usual.
"Boomers at a friend's house and Butch went off somewhere" Brick replied.
I never understand how Brick can be so relaxed as he never seems to know where his brothers are, he normally doesn't even notice when they're not home.
Although I could tell that Brick was pleased to see me, but I also knew he noticed when I was stressed or upset.
"Anyway we need to talk about…" I couldn't finish my sentence.
At this moment I felt that my throat had closed up, even I was sure what we have to talk about. What was I supposed to say, was it that bad. Are we the problem or are they?
I felt teary and my eyes were filling with water.
Brick knew how I felt and as I tilted my head down I felt a pair of toned arms move around me. I pushed my face into his chest and cried.
I was then lifted and shortly after put down in something soft, I then realised that he moved me into his lap where I curled up into his arms.
"Shh, it's okay." Brick said as he soothingly rocked me.
I managed to calm my breathing. I really needed to get a grip.
"What is it? Is it me? Your sisters? Want to give me a clue?" I swear he's a mind reader.
"Well yes it's kinda both, but more my sisters or more you, or both. UGH I DON'T KNOW"
"Okay, let's take this slowly, okay what is the problem, honestly?" Brick asked.
"Well it's just this secret, you know, I can't take this anymore. I mean things should just be normal and its worse. It's awkward and I don't know how to make it better. I can't tell them they're not ready, plus they'd never forgive me. The only other option would be to break up…" I sighed everything seemed hopeless.
"So which do you what do you want to do?" Brick asked quietly.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHAT DO I WANT TO DO? WERE YOU NOT LISTENING?" I shouted.
"Yes I was, but it's up to you, you can tell them but keep in mind that right now that's not an option, or we break up. It's your call I'll do whatever you thinks best." Brick said.
"I'm sorry for shouting at you. I'm just stressed. But I don't want to do either of those options and I don't know what to do. " I replied.
"Well there's only one thing we can do option number 3." Brick said.
"What's option number 3?" I asked.
"Whatever we think it should be." Brick replied.
**************** Somewhere*********************
Buttercups POV
I found myself a small wall to sit on that faced the city it was peaceful no one was around which gave me time to think.
I don't understand how things can still be downhill, I mean everything is out in the open and yet I can't even look at my sisters.
Butchs POV
I was aimlessly flying around bored out of my mind. There was nothing to do no Boomer to tease.
But then suddenly something green caught my eye and since I'm here there's only one thing it could be. Of course when I got closer my suspicions were confirmed, Buttercup was sitting alone and in such an isolated place then again why am I here?
Might as well see what the problem is.
I flew down to Buttercup who still hadn't noticed me so I sat beside her; keeping my distance of course you don't just march up to a hungry lion.
Even before I said anything she knew it was me.
"Look I'm not in the mood for a fight so just go away." She said clearly in a mood.
"Whoa I'm not here to fight okay I just wanted to see what was wrong. Why are you on your own?" I asked.
"None of your business." She snapped.
"But surely you want to let it out in order to vent it you can talk to me if you like." I surprised myself as I just hear what I said.
"Why do you care? So you can make fun of my problems?" She asked I honestly don't know why I cared.
"No but take it from someone who has anger issues, its better having someone to vent it out to otherwise you may become an anger crazed psychopath like me, and I don't punch those nerds for fun you know." I said.
"Look if I tell ya will you leave me in peace." She said
"Sure."
"It's just… I don't even know what I'm doing or how I'm feeling. I thought everything would be fine now but it seems worse, I can't help feeling it's my fault and that something isn't resolved." She explained.
"Have you told them this, maybe they feel the same." I replied.
"No it's weird talking to them and they might not feel the same then it's just me and I might make them paranoid."
"Or you can tell them and they will make you feel less insecure. Besides what was the problem in the first place?" I asked
"Well don't take this too offensively but I don't trust my sister with Brick and then when I found out Bubbles was speaking with Boomer too I got over protective. I know we have a truce but we were arch enemies surely that can't just go away." She said.
"I don't know. But I do know one thing Brick would never intentionally hurt your sister, in fact he wouldn't even hurt her on purpose I mean they're the main reason we have the truce in the first place, Brick can be trusted I mean they're close and nothing untoward has happened between them. If there's one Rowdyruff you can trust its Brick. Boomer, well Boomers a sap he couldn't even snap a stick let alone your sister he's way too nice, makes me wonder how he's my brother actually." I defended.
"What about you?" she asked
"I haven't figured that out yet I guess I feel as weird as you I mean I gotta admit fighting you was fun there was no other competition except for you guys and now we have to give that up which I guess is also good."
"Why? How can it be just as good?" she asked.
"Well I wouldn't say just as good but it's okay since now we get to fight together which although less challenging also means less scratches, did you know you fight dirty?" I joked.
"You can talk. But I guess you're right"
"But…if you like, I suppose we could always have a few…playful fights, you know like we used to except less threatening." I suggested.
"Yeah okay that seems fair." She said.
"Really? Well okay, I mean it could be fun and a good way to vent out any issues or anger and like you said with better competition." She said cheering up a bit.
She looked at her phone.
"Well I best get back Bubbles is probably almost done with dinner, so I should get going, bye and err… thanks it helped." She said with a flat smile.
"No problem, see ya later." And with that we went our separate ways.
