AN: Hello!
Here I have not one but TWO songfics to celebrate the tenth chapter! The first is requested by Lys Dis.
I DO TAKE REQUESTS. IF YOU HAVE AN ACCOUNT, THEN PM ME FOR REQUESTS. IF NOT, THEN PUT THEM IN A REVIEW.
I own nothing but the plot.
According to You
According to you I'm stupid, I'm useless
I can't do anything right
According to you I'm difficult, hard to please
Forever changing my mind
"You're such a fucking idiot." Butch snarled at her. They were at his house, screaming at each other like they usually do.
"And you're a fucking dick but do I mention that every five minutes!" Buttercup hissed back at him, feeling a headache coming on from the constant fighting.
I'm a mess in a dress, can't show up on time
"You really think you look good in that? Butch eyes traveled up and down Buttercup, lips curling into a snarl...again.
"Do you really think your damn face looks good any day?" Buttercup tried to mask her hurt with attitude. It seems like that's all she does.
Even if it would save my life
According to you, according to you
She doesn't know when they became like this. It started as playful arguments every now and then. It soon escalated to the point where they wanted nothing more than to hurt each other.
But according to him I'm beautiful, incredible
He can't get me out of his head
According to him I'm funny, irresistible
Everything he ever wanted
"I love you."
Buttercup felt her heart stop as those three words left his mouth. The three words, eight letters that she never hears.
"I love you too."
Everything is opposite, I don't feel like stopping it
So baby tell me what I got to lose
He's into me for everything I'm not
"Ugh, I look terrible." Buttercup was looking at herself in the mirror, turning back and forth.
"No you don't. You look just as great as you always do."
According to you
According to you I'm boring, I'm moody
And you can't take me any place
According to you I suck at telling jokes
'Cause I always give it away
"I was just kidding, BC! Can't you take a fucking joke?"
"You called me fat!"
"Well, look how much food you're eating."
I'm the girl with the worst attention span
You're the boy who puts up with that
According to you, according to you
"I can't believe I am able to put up with you."
"Put up with me? Please, I put up with your bullshit all the time and I don't get any credit for it."
She swears, one of these days she'll kill this asshole.
But according to him I'm beautiful, incredible
He can't get me out of his head
According to him I'm funny, irresistible
Everything he ever wanted
"I was thinking about you today."
"Do you do that often?"
"Lately, a lot more than I should."
"Is that a bad thing?"
"Yes, since you're my brother's girlfriend."
Everything is opposite, I don't feel like stopping it
So baby tell me what I got to lose
He's into me for everything I'm not
According to you
I need to feel appreciated
Like I'm not hated, oh no
Why can't you see me through his eyes?
It's too bad, you're making me decide
"Do you like me?"
"Yes."
Brick chuckled at her bluntness.
"I appreciate your honesty."
But according to me you're stupid, you're useless
You can't do anything right
"You're a fucking asshole, and I hate you."
"Where the fuck did this come from?"
"Years of putting up with your trash."
But according to him I'm beautiful, incredible
He can't get me out of his head
According to him I'm funny, irresistible
Everything he ever wanted
Buttercup sobbed into Brick's chest.
"He made me feel like such shit."
Brick sighed.
"That's my brother for you."
Everything is opposite, I don't feel like stopping it
Baby tell me what I got to lose
He's into me for everything I'm not
According to you, you you
According to you, you you
According to you I'm stupid, I'm useless
I can't do anything right
"Don't leave me."
"No, not now, not ever."
"Thank you."
You Belong With Me
You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset
She's going off about something that you said
'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do
Buttercup watched from her window as Brick paced his bedroom, phone pressed to his ear. She figures that he's arguing with Blossom again. While Buttercup had laughed at his inappropriate joke at lunch today, Blossom was furious. She could only guess that the redhead is tearing him a new ass right now.
I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
And she'll never know your story like I do
"Drugs, gimme drugs, gimme drugs, I don't need it
But I'll sell what you got, take the cash and I'll keep it
Eight legs to the wall, hit the gas, kill them all
And we crawl, And we crawl, And we crawl! you be my detonator"
MCR blasted from Buttercup's headphones. It always seemed to help her calm down. Hearing a tap next to her, Buttercup turned to see Brick who was looking at her. She has no idea why the two apartments were so close together, but in some ways, she was grateful.
She watched as Brick picked up his whiteboard and marker. It was the way they communicated.
Song?
Picking up her own board, Buttercup scribbled a reply.
Na Na Na, My Chemical Romance
Brick smiled at her before writing again.
Sing, My Chemical Romance
But she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts
She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day
When you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
Buttercup watched from the sidelines as the cheerleaders came out to do their routine. Dressed in sweatpants and a t-shirt, the only reason why she was here was because Brick was on the football team. Eyeing the cheerleader's short skirts and high ponytails, Buttercup wondered how Brick could be into girls like that. Especially the Type A Blossom.
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me, you belong with me
Sometimes, Buttercup felt like screaming. Why couldn't he see that she was right there in front of him? She felt like she was forever waiting to be noticed.
Walking the streets with you and your worn-out jeans
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself
Hey, isn't this easy?
Buttercup's head was leaning on Brick's shoulder, and she was trying to breathe due to laughing so hard. These were the best moments. When they just got the chance to hang out and enjoy each other's company. It would be great if it was this way all the time.
And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down
You say you're fine, I know you better than that
Hey, what you doing with a girl like that?
Brick's smile could blind people. Buttercup felt honored to see it. Unfortunately, she didn't see it as often as she used to when Brick was single. Now, he was mostly serious. At least until Buttercup coaxed a grin out of him.
She wears high heels,
I wear sneakers
She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for
Has been here the whole time
Blossom strutted down the hallway, heels clicking as she made her way to the advanced Calculus classroom. Brick's class. Perfect Bitch. Straight A's, debate club, cheer captain, she was everything at this school. She went with Brick so well it hurt the green puff.
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know?
Baby, you belong with me, you belong with me
"Are you coming to Homecoming?"
"No way, you know I hate dances."
"Come on…for me?"
Buttercup felt her heart sink.
"Fine. But you have to save me a dance."
"I promise."
Oh, I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're
about to cry
And I know your favorite songs and you tell me 'bout your dreams
Think I know where you belong, think I know it's with me
Buttercup remembers that night clearly. Brick showed up at her front door, looking worn. He had just gotten into a major fight with Blossom, and need someone to talk to. When the brunette saw how beat down he was, she tried to get him to laugh in order to ease the pain. He started feeling better little by little. At the end of the night, he hugged her. A little too long for friends.
Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you?
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me
Buttercup looked at her closet. There was only one dress in there. It was the one her mother had bought for her, much to the teen's dismay. It was green, with a V neckline and Stain style. Putting it on, it outlined her curves nicely, as went down to about her knees. Curling her hair, Buttercup let it fall in ringlets. Putting on short green heels to match her dress along with a necklace and earrings, she thought she looked good.
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time, how could you not know?
Baby, you belong with me, you belong with me
"You look beautiful."
Startled, Buttercup spun around to see Brick standing there, looking handsome as ever. Not knowing how to respond to his compliment, she responded the best way she knew how.
"You look like shit."
Brick laughed, smiling down at her from his tall height.
You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me?
You belong with me.
"Where is Blossom?"
Brick's smile dropped, and Buttercup wished she hadn't brought it up.
"We broke up."
Buttercup tired not to let the joy show on her face.
"Don't look so excited." The smile reappeared, and he enveloped the smaller girl in a hug.
"Sorry."
"Don't be. I'm just as happy as you are."
