Eric uses his forearm to shove Butters roughly up against the wall and to keep him put. "You're my boyfriend from now on, fag. You got that?" His voice is harsh and his eyes piercing through the blond's skull.

Butters squinted his eyes cos yeah, he's confused but he didn't object in the fear of getting another beating from the brunet. So he nodded his head politely and feared that having a boyfriend wouldn't get him grounded.

Butters didn't mind Eric too much. Sure he was sorta mean sometimes, pushed him around a bit and called him nasty words, but it wasn't too bad. Butters could mange it.

"Good," Eric said, pulling his arm away. He brushed off arm- like Butters had cooties- and looked over at Stan and Kyle, who watched in awe. "I'll, Uh, I'll see ya later, pussy." And with that, he walked away.

Butters pulled himself off the wall and rubbed when his head hit the brick. Kyle and Stan came rushing over.

"What the fuck was that, dude?" Stan asks the blond as Kyle still struggles to pick his jaw up off the ground.

Butters shrugs. "I dunno... I was just walking outta the school, cos if-if I don't get home before my parents, they'll ground me!" He exclaims, eyes widening a bit. "A-and then Eric, he comes outta no where, pushes me up against a wall and tells me I'm his boyfriend."

Kyle makes an exasperated noise. "What do you think he's up to? It's really unbelievable that he would play with your heart, Butters-"

"Hey! What makes you think he's playing with my heart? What if he actually likes me?" Butters pulls a sad face.

He can actually feel his heart ache when that thought comes to mind. Ever since grade four to grade ten, Butters has been head over heels for Eric Cartman. No matter how many times Eric has played a joke on him or humiliated him, or whatever, Butters would always see the good in the sixteen year old.

Stan frowns and looks at Kyle, who is mimicking Butters' face. "Butters, it's not you. It's just... Eric has no heart. He's never liked anyone and some of the stupid shit he's pulled is downright evil. I honestly don't even think he can feel for anyone!"

Butters just sighs. "You're probably right. Probably another plan to humiliate me again." He's so used to this. He's never really had any friends. Well, he's got people who are nice to him like Stan, Kyle and Kenny but nobody who tries to hang out with him or be his friend. So when Eric tries to be with him, even if it is gonna turn out bad, he always enjoys the parts that aren't so bad.

"I'm sorry, Butters." Stan says, putting a hand on the boy's shoulders. "We'll try to talk to him and try to see he's gonna do before he does anything stupid."

Butters cracks a smile. "Thanks Fellas, that means a lot."

They mirror him. "No problem, Butters. I'd just be careful around Cartman though, who know what that fat asshole is gonna do."

They leave it at that, walking away to go catch the bus. Butters just fixes his backpack and decides he's better off walking home.
