Enjoy. I own Nothing. Reviews are nice.
The bar was filled with men coming out of work, and Butters could only stay in there for so long before the cigarette smoke started getting to him.
"We can go outside, if you want," Eric said after Butters' third coughing fit.
Butters nodded. They grabbed their drinks and headed towards Eric's truck.
Cartman grabbed a blanket from his backseat and placed it on the bed of his truck so the two could sit on top of it and their butts wouldn't freeze from the metal. They had their backs leaned up against the back window of the truck.
Butters kept pointing up to the sky, telling Eric different constellations. "And that's Orion's belt. And that's Gemini! I can never see those stars in the city."
Cartman turned to look at Butters. He forgot how excited the blond could get over such simple things.
"This is so much better than sitting in that stuffy bar," Butters said, turning to Eric. "What is it?" He asked, seeing Cartman staring at him.
Eric leaned over, cupping Butters face with one hand and kissed him. Butters initial reaction was to kiss him back, but soon he realized what was happening and pushed Cartman away.
"Wait, no Eric," Butters said, pulling away.
"I'm sorry. That was stupid, you just got here," Eric stuttered out.
"No, it's not that, it's just that… I'm engaged," Butters confessed, scooting himself off the truck.
"What?" Cartman asked in disbelief. "Why didn't you say that earlier? Being engaged is something you say when catching up with friends!" He shouted out of embarrassment.
"I know. I don't know why I didn't say anything earlier. I have to go now," Butters finished, hopping off the truck.
"Can I at least drive you to your place?" Eric called out.
"No, it's fine, I'll walk," Butters said, waving Eric's offer away.
Cartman watched Butters walk off, then sat back against his truck and sighed. Of course Butters was engaged. Of course he's moved on. He was the only loser who was still stuck in the past, still stuck in this dump. Eric grabbed his bottle of beer and hurled it at the lamppost near his car. After seeing it shatter he hopped off the bed of his truck and drove home.
