Chapter: 7

I can see that Kyle is nervous. He doesn't know how far Cartman will go and that scares him. To see the person you love act like this, that he's willing to hurt you, is worse than any physical pain.
How I know all of this?
Well if the look in his eyes doesn't say it all then my own experience tells me.
Again, I feel this weird hatred toward Cartman, for making Kyle feel like this. He thinks he has power over us, but that's not true. What he has is a huge ego, but that's all.
Still Eric is very big and he has more experience in fighting than I do. Thinking that we'll get out of this situation without trouble would be foolish. We need a plan.
I stare at Cartman, bracing myself for his next move.
If he'll come for me, maybe Kyle can get away, but I doubt it. Right now what he wants is Kyle.
I still have my hand wrapped around his arm, just in case Cartman tries to grab him again.
"Enough already!", Cartman takes a step forward, fist clenched.
I try to pull Kyle away, but he won't move. Maybe he still believes that Cartman won't hit him. I'm not that optimistic though.
So before Eric can hit him, I shove myself in front of Kyle, my arms wide outstretched and my eyes shut close.
I hear the crack, as the fist makes contact with skin, but the pain won't come. Then I hear someone wince.
Scared that Cartman had somehow hit Kyle I hastily open my eyes. But Kyle hasn't moved an inch yet, instead I see Eric kneeling on the ground rubbing his head and cursing. To my surprise I see Kenny standing in front of him, he doesn't look at me, when he kicks Cartman in the ribs. It takes me a second to realize what's going on, but when I finally do I run to his side in shock.
"Kenny stop", I wrap my arms around his waist, wanting nothing more than for him to stop. Even if it's Cartman, I don't want Kenny to hurt him, to hurt anyone.
I can't bear to see him like this. He shouldn't have to do this for me.
He's shaking, with anger now so I tighten my grip. "Please".
"You all think you can treat Butters like shit, hm? Well let me tell you and the rest of the world something Cartman, I will not let this happen, if you want to get to Butters, you'll have to get to me first", Kenny is furious, but to my surprise he stops hitting Eric. He takes a step back and finally looks at me.
He tries to smile, but I see that it's forced. "Are you alright?".
I hide my hands behind my back not wanting him to worry and nod.
"Good", he lets out a breath that he's been holding.
Cartman lets out a moan.
"Oh shut up Cartman, we both know that I didn't hit you that hard", he turns around, "but you won't be that lucky next time".
I blend the two boys out and turn to Kyle, he still seems in shock. He's looking at me now and I think he's about to cry. I know that he would hate to let Cartman see him like this, so I do what a good friend would do.
I walk to stand right beside him and take his hand, lightly pulling him from the scene. Every other boy would have probably slapped my hand away. Two boys walking hand in hand, that's well gay. But Kyle is gay so I don't have to worry about it. It's not like we're holding hands like a couple would do either, I'm just dragging him with me. When we're far away from Cartman I let go of his hand.
We're standing in a little park, there's a bench right next to us and some kids are playing on the grass. Couples are having a pick nick and parents are looking after their children. Everything looks so happy and peaceful, but I know better than that.
Kyle lets out a sign and sits down on the little bench. "Thank you Butters. I know you helped me back then. I just needed to get away from there, away from Cartman I guess".
"You didn't want him to know how much he's hurt you, I get that", I give him an encouraging smile.
"Yes, I think that's it".
I hear steps behind me and turn around. It's Kenny, he's followed us to the park. Cartman is nowhere in sight, so I relax a bit.
"You okay Kyle?", Kenny has one arm around me now, pulling me as close as possible, but looking at Kyle with honest concern.
"Yes, sure, I just need a second. Thanks though", Kyle smiles.
Kenny seems calmer now, that he knows that we're both safe. He lets his guard down and wraps his other arm around me too. I don't move as he hugs me, just leaning against him. When I'm with Kenny I feel safe and I need this comfort right now. What happened with Cartman, how I tried to stand up for myself and Kyle was the right thing to do, but it also scared me to death. I just need a few seconds to calm down.
"I was so worried Butters", he whispers the words into my ear.
His eyes are locked with mine.
I shiver from his words. It shows me just how much he cares. How impossible this all is. I expect every minute for Cartman to come back and ruin this moment, but nothing happens. Kenny is still there, he is still embracing me and whatever it is that I feel for him, I know it won't go away any time soon.
"I'm just happy that you're here", I smile at him, it's a tired smile, one you'd get from a sleepy child, but he doesn't seem care. Just when I think that he's about to kiss me again, he winks at me : "Not here Butters" and turns around to where a very surprised Kyle is sitting.
He eyes us with a half smirk, like he knows exactly what's going on, he just doesn't want to believe it.
"I want to say "thank you "Kyle. I know in the past years we haven't exactly been the best friend anymore, but I always thought that from the four of us back then, you've always been the most ... honest one.", he sighns, obviously feeling a bit uneasy," Look, I don't want to sound cheesy now, so I'll get right to the point, you've helped Butters today. For some reason you decided to stand up for him and I want to say thank you for that. Who knew our little Jew had it in him to be a fighter?", he smirks now, the seriousness being gone from his face again.
"You're welcome Kenny".

A/N: Yay, finally got this done. See I told you Kenny would appear ;)
As you can see Mysterion dindn't show up It'sAllGooeyAndSticky, but maybe Kenny will do some cosplay for Butters later :P Thanks for your comments though :) I really think Kenny should do some bad ass cosplay for Butters once ;)
