*that last chapter was heavy as fuuuuck :P*

(Butch pov)

I didn't expect her to say sorry, but I'll admit it felt nice to hear. It never filled that hole within me though, I still felt empty, like something was missing. During my watch the night after I just took my time on walking home. I tilt my head back, close my eyes and sigh. I open them when a couple raindrops hit me. I relax my body, not having it in me to speed up and avoid the oncoming storm.

I continued to walk even though the rain was progressively getting worse. In a matter off minutes my clothes were soaked through, but I couldn't bring myself to care. "Hey... " that voice brought me out of my head and into reality. "Hi... " it was Bubbles, standing there with a large blue umbrella. I looked down, then my gaze wavers when I suddenly stop feeling the rain.

"Want to grab a bite to eat?" Her sudden question had me raise a brow. "Really?..." I said in a dry tone, even still she nodded. I took off my mask letting her baby blues look into my emerald green. "Fine... lead the way cupcake..." I sigh, even if the rain just stopped hitting me I already felt myself drying from my powers. She gave somewhat of a kind smile, that I definitely wasn't used to seeing.

"Why so nice all of a sudden Blue?" I gave a bored look. "Well... it's because I finally judged you right... I'm sorry I didn't see it sooner" she gave a guilty look as we started walking. "See what?" I really hoped she was right this time. "You guys... are mourning still... aren't you?" This made me look at her in actual surprise.

"I guess we are..." I sigh, at least she knew, felt better than her giving me shit for something I'm not doing. She stopped suddenly at a little diner and lead me inside. A couple of people were there, not many but why would I care. She sat at a booth and shyly looked at me under her eyelashes and I copied her actions.

"Thanks for not turning me away, I wasn't the greatest to you... was I?" She said looking down at the menu. "Yeah you think!" I said sarcastically making her roll her eyes. "Anyways... I thought we could start over and... you know... be friends" her face flushed and she stuck her hand out for a shake. I looked at her with a brow arched, she was really gonna try? "Why not! I guess you get a second chance, but only this time cupcake" I shrug and take the gesture, shaking her hand.

Her smile brightened as the waitress came to take our orders, she looked at least to be in her mid twenties. "Hey darling! Hey there handsom!" The way she said handsome made me uncomfortable, that was I guess her attempt to flirt with me. "Hello! Could I get a hot chocolate and a cinnamon roll, oh and... hmm what would you care for!" Bubbles looked at me with the brightest smile tonight. "Coffee... and I guess I could eat what you're getting too" I said trying to avoid the lovesick eyes of this waitress.

"Alright so it's hot chocolate, coffee and two cinnamon rolls?" The waitress asked eyeing me like some fucking piece of meat. As soon as that woman left I let out an irritated sigh. "Are you okay?" Bubbles asked curiously. "That waitress... the way she was eyeing me would make pornstars blush..." I roll my eyes and put my hood down.

"Oh!" Bubbles blushed and looked at the waitress who winked at me "does that happen a lot?". "Unfortunately.. the only one who gets it more is Brick" I say as the waitress brings our order. "Enjoy!" She said eyeing me most of the time before she turned to leave. Bubbles turned to speak to me again "Brick is pretty attractive now that I think about it..." this girl is trying I'll give her that...

"They like the eyes on him I guess..." I say watching her as she bites her cinnamon roll. "Mmm" she gave a smile and gestured for me to do the same. I took a bite and I'll admit, it's the best one I've ever had. We talked for a long time, her new attitude was infectious. It was around 1:00 when we left and when I got home, for the first time in a long time I was smiling a little.

I walked inside and saw Brick on the chair in the living room. "What's got your mood up Butch?" Brick asked me raising a brow, I couldn't help but notice that familiar cleaning apron... made him look like a mom more than ever.

"A certain Blue puff actually fucking had the guts to fully apologize and took me to a diner for a truce of some sort... were friends now I guess" I shrug. I feel a hug from behind, I knew it was Boomer. "Hey buddy! How you doing?" I turned to hug him completely.

"I'm glad we all can be friends... I thought we weren't gonna be" he gave a tiny smile. "Don't judge the future by living in the now" I give him a loving rub of his hair. With that I decided to go to my room and play a more lighter emotion song.

The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful

Stop me and steal my breath.

And emeralds from mountains thrust towards the sky

Never revealing their depth.

Tell me that we belong together, Dress it up with the trappings of love.

I'll be captivated,

I'll hang from your lips,

Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above.

I'll be your crying shoulder,

I'll be love's suicide

I'll be better when I'm older,

I'll be the greatest fan of your life.

And rain falls angry on the tin roof

As we lie awake in my bed.

You're my survival, you're my living proof.

My love is alive and not dead.

Tell me that we belong together.

Dress it up with the trappings of love.

I'll be captivated,

I'll hang from your lips,

Instead of the gallows of heartache that hang from above

And I've dropped out, I've burned up, I've fought my way back from the dead.

I've tuned in, turned on, remembered the things that you said

I'll be your crying shoulder,

I'll be love's suicide

I'll be better when I'm older,

I'll be the greatest fan of your...

I'll be your crying shoulder,

I'll be love's suicide

I'll be better when I'm older,

I'll be the greatest fan of your life.

The greatest fan of your life.

...greatest fan of your life.

*there we go they are friends now! :)*
