Kyle had came threw for him, not that he had any doubts he wouldn't but it still gave him a sense of relief that everything was going smoothly. He picked up the bag from the front of his house and went inside to grab blankets and pillows for him and Butters, he paused before grabbing the chaos plushie and hiding it in his parka. This would help out a lot later... He moved back outside and smiled as he grabbed Butters hand and pulled him off towards the woods, Butters blinked in surprise before blushing faintly and smiling as he hurried after him. The pair ran into the forest and threw a path only they knew well enough to follow before moving into the grotto both had been in at last night, though only one was aware that both were there. Kenny stepped forward and lied one blanket down before sitting and patting next to him for Butters. Said boy smiled softly and moved over sitting down next to him as Kenny threw a blanket over both of their shoulders and pulled his phone out putting on some music as they just relaxed in each others presence.
Butters watched the wind blow some snow threw the air as he leaned against Kenny letting out a breath, he wished it could be like this all the time... peaceful, warm, comforting... god he wished he could have this whenever he wanted. He closed his eyes for a moment just taking in the music and the cold air blowing around them, it didn't bother him, he felt like he couldn't be any warmer at the moment.
"Hey, Kenny?" He said softly as he felt Kenny's shoulder shift.
"Yeah Butters?" Kenny looked down at the boy who didn't open his eyes.
"Well... do you remember yesterday...? W-when you called me... b-buttercup?" He asked as he felt Kenny tense up slightly, a small peak threw his eyes told him that Kenny was blushing.
"A-ah... I uh... I'm not sure what you're talking about." Kenny said embarrassed, he was hoping Butters hadn't remembered that... damn it.
"Oh..." Butters said looking away for a moment. "Well... alright then, I didn't really mind it to be honest. But if you don't then I guess it doesn't matter." He said covering a small smile as he felt Kenny perk up.
"You, you didn't mind the name?" He sounded a bit skeptical, Butters chuckled and opened his eyes glancing over at him.
"No, no I didn't, maybe not at school but... in private I wouldn't mind if you wanted to call me that. It's a nickname right? I like the idea of having a nickname that's just... well just for you." Butters said blushing as he looked away, Kenny felt his face get a shade darker at the thought and pulled the blanket around them tighter.
"Do you really mean that Butters?" Kenny said looking at him.
"Yeah, yeah I do Kenny." He said he said looking away "But only you can say and know about it alright?" He said looking back with a pouting face, Kenny watched him and chuckled pushing his hair back as he thought about it.
"I never thought... heh, well alright then. It will be our little secret Buttercup." he said happily as Butters blushed and hugged him.
"Thanks Kenny, can we eat something? I'm getting a bit hungry." He said with a puffy face that made Kenny laugh again and grab the bag opening it.
"Alright lets see here... you want a sandwich? We did have a light lunch." At the small nod Kenny handed Butters a sandwich from the store, just basic ham but it was still rather good to them. Along with a few sodas, chips and candies the two started to laugh and joke around like they had always done when they went here. Kenny had been telling some sort of story and Butters kept laughing like it was the funniest thing in the world, they eventually ended up lying down on the blanket watching the clouds pass surrounded with food wrappers. Kenny shifted as he felt the plushie in his jacket squish slightly and took a breath before pulling up the courage to turn to Butters, he looked so happy like this... he had to ask... if he really felt the same. They could be happy together, Kenny bit his lip before sitting up and taking a breath.
"Butters... I uh... I need to talk to you about something." He said nervously as Butters blinked and pushed himself up on his arms
"What is it?" He frowned at him before sitting up completely and crossing his legs. Kenny watched him and let out a breath before unzipping his parka and pulling out the old chaos plushie. It was worn and slightly torn but still in good condition for so many years in his house. Butters took one look at the doll and recognized it in a moment. His eyes widened in surprise as he looked at him "Y-you kept the dolls I made for you?" Kenny swallowed and nodded taking a breath.
"I gave Karen the Mysterion plush but... I kept Chaos. Butters... no Buttercup." he said reaching out and grabbing his hand looking determined. "The first time I noticed you was when I threw that ninja star into your eye. I noticed you before but that was the first time, the first time I looked at you and felt something. At first I was scared, but then I was sorry, I never wanted to hurt you, you were so nice and I didn't know what to do. After that I started to pay more and more attention to you and well... I started to notice more things..." Kenny took another breath "Your smiles, your frowns, the way you acted around certain things. The way you rub your knuckles together when you get nervous and... well things like that. I could really go on and on about everything." Kenny said as Butters blushed watching him.
"K-kenny... what are you-" Kenny cut him off as he looked him in the eyes, his eyes were smoldering, his darker blue made it feel like Butters was drowning.
"Buttercup, for years now I've... i've only ever wanted to protect you. Wanted to make sure you smiled and were happy just like everyone else, I-I guess over time It was less about how I was some kind of childhood superhero and more of how I wanted to protect you more then anything else." Kenny grabbed butters and pulled them both up so they were standing, Butters was blushing a dark red and Kenny was about the same. He was gripping the chaos doll tightly before kneeling down looking up at him. "Butters- no Leopold. I want to be the person in your life that can protect you from anything! I know you might not feel the same but that's fine! E-even if you're not interested in me, please let me stay by your side! Let me protect you threw thick and thin! I would do anything for you so please!" Kenny swallowed as he gripped Butters hand tightly "W-will you go out with me?!"
Butters had been silenced by shock at this, he always knew Kenny was bi- that's why he always held hope that maybe one day they could be together. B-but he never thought he would see Kenny taking a knee and confessing! O-oh boy he didn't know what to do- his heart was screaming yes but his mind was panicking no. Butters swallowed as he looked to the side blushing, w-what did he do?!
'Butters if you say no I'm gonna give you the worst migraine in the world!' Butters blinked in surprise at Marjorine's voice before she continued 'He's made you happy most of your life and he's confessing to you! And you have the thought of saying no?! He understands you, I'm going as far to say he fucking loves you! You need to take the risk and forget us for once and focus on you. The happiness and love you deserve, even if he never finds out about us please- please let yourself be happy for once.' Butters swallowed and teared up as Chaos put in his mind
'Majorine's right Butters, we're a trio remember? We're here to fight along side you but sometimes you need to take the lead alright? Kenny makes you happy, you deserve to be happy here. Don't mess this up.' he threatened as Butters rubbed his eyes. Kenny swallowed at seeing the tears, was he wrong about this? O-oh god what if Butters didn't really mean it, he didn't want to ruin their friendship.
"B-buttercup?" He said weakly standing up "I-I'm sorry if-" He was cut off as Butters threw himself into his arms.
"Y-Yes! Yes Kenny of my god yes! I-I've always wanted this and just hearing it- oh god i'm so happy!" Butters said choking up, Kenny swallowed and hugged him tightly letting out a breath.
"I'm so relieved... I'll do my best to make you the happiest person in this damn town Buttercup." He said warmly as Butters grabbed his face gently smiling at him.
"Oh Kenny... you already have." He said before closing his eyes and pulling him down into a kiss.
