-The party chap!-
"Do i really need to wear this Buttercup?" Bubbles pulled at the tight black spaghetti strap dress uncomfortably.
"Yeah... What's wrong with it?" Buttercup asked while pulling on a pair of leather leggings. "It's just really short..." Bubbles tried pulling it down a little, but no difference was made.
"I think you look hot as hell... Don't worry about it and have fun..." Buttercup shrugged, plugging in her straightener.
They were currently getting ready in Bubbles bathroom, Buttercup slept over and said she was staying the weekend and was currently convincing Blossom to sleep there too. "I don't know about hot, but I guess you're right..." Bubbles blushed.
"That's the spirit!" Buttercup said enthusiastically, adjusting her black tubetop.
"I appreciate you, spending the weekend with me... It does feel less lonely..." Bubbles said shyly.
"Do you want to have me and Bloss over for our own thanksgiving? I say fuck it and have our own fun..." Buttercup looked at her in the mirror as she began to straighten her hair.
"You really don't have to..." Bubbles said sheepishly.
"It's one day... My family does it a day before and Blossom said her parents were too... It just feels wrong to let you be alone..." Buttercup said, finally looking at her.
Bubbles started to apply a small amount of makeup, but she stopped to look at her friend. "If you guys really want to, then I'd love to... But that's only if you want to..." Bubbles said, starting with her makeup again.
"Okay! It's gonna be so fuckin awesome! We're going to chill our asses off!" Buttercup grinned, finally finishing her hair.
Buttercup then looked trough her bag and sighed, "Can i borrow your makeup again Bubs? I forgot mine at my old man's place..." She grumbled in annoyance. Bubbles nodded and Buttercup walked to the organizer and grabbed some makeup.
"Shit, with how much makeup you got I'm surprised that you don't wear it more..." Buttercup chuckles and started to do her own makeup.
"I usually have no reason, my cousin Emmy gave it to me when she moved last year because she couldn't take it with her..." Bubbles took a quick time with her makeup, Buttercup on the other hand had on a full blown smokey eye.
"Okay! We gotta pick up Bloss!" Buttercup excitedly dragged her out of the bathroom. On the way out the door, Buttercup hands Bubbles a pair of black high heels.
"Buttercup I've never walked in these!" She stumbled to put them on and was wobbling behind her as they walked to Bubbles' car.
"Shotgun!" Buttercup shouted, getting in the car's front seat.
"You expect me to drive in these!" Bubbles squeaked in panic.
"You can remove them to drive you know..." Buttercup stated teasingly.
Bubbles pouts and gets in, kicking off the shoes to prevent herself from crashing the car. She puts on her seatbelt and shifts uncomfortably in her seat. This dress rode up a little bit too much for her liking.
"Just have fun Bubbles..." Bubbles said quietly to herself. She starts the car and head off towards Blossom's house.
Blossom was wearing the tightest outfit Bubbles had ever seen. It was a pink strapless crop top and a pair of black jeans. Blossom usually hated wearing stuff like this, so this was a phenomenon.
"Why the fuck are you looking like a sex magnet?" Buttercup asked Blossom, holding back laughter.
"Butch is coming to the party! He said he'd meet me when I got there! Do i look okay?! I really like him!" Blossom was fretting as she got into the back seat.
"I'm sure he'll be ALL over you..." Buttercup chuckles suggestively. Blossom blushed heavily. "You look awesome Bubbly!" Blossom smiled hugging her by reaching around her seat.
"Thank Blossy..." Bubbles smiled at her friend in the rearview mirror. "Okay! We're going to 1500 Emerson drive... I know the way there!" Buttercup said and Bubbles nods.
After awhile the large house comes into veiw, intimidating Bubbles right away. She parked a few blocks away and reluctantly puts the heels back on. Buttercup was the first to get out, walking out to Bubbles side to help her out off the car. "Thank you..." Bubbles said, still wobbling a bit.
Blossom almost faceplants, Bubbles and Buttercup catch her. "I'm okay!" Blossom squeaks out in surprise.
"Let's head in! I can't wait to finally party with you guys! It's gonna be so fun!" Buttercup grabbed their hands.
Bubbles couldn't escape from this even if she wanted to. When they got to the door, Bubbles feels a nervous feeling in the pit of her stomach. When the door opened, Bubbles feels herself almost have a nervous breakdown. There were almost 20 people in the living room alone and Bubbles didn't even know what the hell she was gonna do. She was almost too stiff as Buttercup dragged her and Blossom inside.
"I'm going to look for Butch!" Blossom speeds away, while Buttercup drags Bubbles towards the bar.
"I know you don't drink, but it's gonna be nice to chill with you here... Just do you okay?" Buttercup asked and Bubbles sighed heavily before nodding. Buttercup pours herself something from a bottle and Bubbles scrunched her nose at the scent of it.
"What is that? It smells like pure ethanol?" Bubbles asked as Buttercup started drinking.
"Vodka..." Buttercup shrugs and Bubbles cringes.
"It ain't bad to me, but it'll definitely be a little too much for you..." Buttercup was laughing a bit.
Bubbles uncomfortably looked around at everyone, music was blaring and everyone was dancing and after a few she spotted Blossom dancing with that Butch guy she saw yesterday, he was wearing a black denim jacket and jeans with agreen t-shirt.
"$30 says she's getting laid tonight..." Buttercup jokes and Bubbles couldn't help but giggle.
She then wondered who came with him, then she spots the Blond guy she saw too not far away, just chilling by himself. He had on a dark navy longsleeve and black jeans. "I might make that Blond guy you're looking at a one night stand..." Buttercup smirked.
"I guess my house is the best thing for that..." Bubbles blushed, her friends were gonna have boys over.
"One advantage of your parents not being there..." Buttercup chuckles, putting a hand on Bubbles to comfort her. She smiles, Buttercup at least cared.
"I'm going to nose my way in... You coming?" Buttercup asked and Bubbles shifts uncomfortably.
"In a few minutes, I just need to get the courage..." Bubbles blushed more.
"Okay, just text me if you need me back over here..." Buttercup smiled and Bubbles smiled back with a nod. Bubbles then watched as Buttercup made her way over and started talking to the two guys and Blossom. Bubbles was in the process of getting ready to join them. Every time she tried, she wanted to stay right where she was. This causes her to lose sight quickly as the population in the living room tickens and obscured her friends from her view.
She froze completely, her body going into full blown axniety. She started walking forwards to try and get to them. She didn't feel safe right now and that made her freak out completely. She gets about halfway until some guy grabbed her around her waist and pulls her to him. She comes face to face with a drunk brown haired guy, who smelled strongly of alcohol. He had nor regard for her personal space at all.
She lets out a high pitched squeak of terror as she is almost lifted off ghe ground. "Hey gorgeous! My name is Chad! What's yours?" He said with a flirty slurr. "Uh... Bubbles... Can you put me down please..." She squeaks.
"Nah... I've claimed you, so I can't do that sugar..." He smirked, he was beyond drunk.
"You haven't claimed me!" She wailed in panic.
"I got you first, that's party rules! So I get to dance with your ass all night... That dress was a good choice!" He grabbed her ass and Bubbles flails involuntarily.
The guy grabs her tighter and Bubbles began to squirm. "I bet you're very energetic in the bedroom huh?" The guy jokes, that's when Bubbles pushed her hands in his face making him relax his grip. Bubbles used that opportunity to break away and started scurrying towards the open area.
"You're not getting away! I love girls who like getting chased!" The guy said from behind her. She made it out of the crowd, but saw the guy hot on her tail.
"Oh god, oh god, oh freaking god!" Bubbles was trapped now, because the crowd was now fully packed.
"Come on... Gimme a chance to feel under that dress!" The guy said as Bubbles tried to back away more.
"I'm keeping this on thank you!" Bubbles said in embarrassment.
"Just one!" He insisted and went to grab her again, but she jump backwards and into someone else's arms. She lets out a surprised yelp until almost familiar arms circled around her.
"Bubbles there you are... We've been waiting for you..." Bubbles blushed, not from embarrassment, but sheer relief. She recognized the voice right away.
"Hi Brick..." Bubbles said and almost sunk into his arms. Her unexpected hero strikes again and at the perfect time. The guy who was chasing her glared at Brick, "I saw her first!" He was still slurring.
Brick gave him a bored expression, "Actually technically I did buddy... Why don't you back off and leave her alone..." He had ver obvious warning to his tone.
"I didn't see you touch her yet! She's mine!" The guy yelled and Brick chuckles.
"I don't see your name on her... I mean you can tell she definitely wants to be around me more than yourself right now..." Bricks voice held a almost ice like edge to it.
"Wanna go bro!" The guy threatened him.
"Yeah... Not a good idea for you there... You're so drunk you'd probably knock yourself out..." Bubbles could hear the smirk in his voice. "
You got a fuckin mouth on ya!" The guy slurred even more aggressively.
"I'm sure your boyfriend said that to you last week..." Brick was getting more bold. The guy charged at them and Brick swiftly steps out of the way making him topple over the table with drinks and knock himself out.
"I told him... Well... Come on..." Brick said, not letting go of her as he began walking.
"You don't have to hold me..." Bubbles blushed again, the guy she had a somewhat crush on saved her for the third time this week.
"Not a good choice, you almost got kidnapped there Blue... You're a full time job aren't you..." Brick almost sounded protective.
"I didn't expect you to be here..." Bubbles said shyly.
"Neither did I to be honest... My idiot friends forced me here... I could say the same for you..." Brick said teasingly.
"I was convinced by my friend Buttercup, i was supposed to meet her... She is probably worried..." Bubbles sighs, she felt safe right now.
"Yeah, I know... I saw you weren't with her and she was looking for you... You're probably not sorry i found you..." Brick said as Bubbles looked forward and saw her friends.
"Holy fuck Bubbles! Where were you!?" Buttercup asked grabbing her from Brick to check her over.
"Some drunk idiot tried kidnapping her... I got to her before he did anything serious..." Brick said Blossom hugged him.
"Oh thank you! Poor Bubbly must be traumatized!" Blossom said dramatically, Bubbles could tell she had some to drink.
"The guy knocked himself out, I didn't really have to do anything..." Brick said in boredom.
"Brick you saved her twice..." Butch chuckles, getting ahold of his date.
"Three times..." Brick said and Bubbles fully blushed now.
Everyone looked at him in surprise. "Tried to save a kitten yesterday and fell out of a tree, i happened to be around and managed to save her ass... We should probably get outta here before we can't reach the door..." Brick said the last part with sarcasm.
Buttercup looked around, "Fuck you're right, I didn't even expect it to be packed like this..." She glared. Bubbles sighs in relief, she didn't want o be here anymore.
"Where could we go!? None of our houses are free! I wanna chill with Blossom more!" Butch shouted over the crowd.
"Bubbles parents live two cities away! She lives alone!" Buttercup shouted back and Bubbles feels eyes on her. Brick was looking at her in confusion.
"That cool with you?" Butch asks Bubbles.
"Uh... Yeah, just don't make a mess I guess..." Bubbles said gripping her wrist to prevent herself from biting her pointer finger again.
"Sweet, let's go! And don't you dare ditch Brick or I'm kicking your ass!" Butch warns him and he rolled his eyes. "Trip, fall and break your boner..." Brick says, his tone neutral.
"Yeah shut up bitch and come on Boomer!" Butch smirked, his arm wrapped around Blossom's waist as he heads to the exit. Boomer and Buttercup follow and Bubbles shyly tagged along noticing Brick beside her.
"You live alone?" Brick said curiously.
"My parents...They're doctors... They had to move for work and thought I'd be better off here..." Bubbles replies and he nods.
Both became silent as they reach outside. Bubbles walked with him to her car, everyone else was currently waiting there. "We walked here, so you gotta drive us all!" Butch explained, Bubbles looked at Brick who was the tallest one there.
Butch smirked at him, "I'm not sitting back there..." Brick glared at Butch. "Yeah your tallness you can hop the front!" Butch mocked until Brick hits a pressure point on his ribcage while getting into the front seat.
"Mother Fucker!" Butch shouted, grabbing Blossom and getting in the back. Blossom sat on his lap as Boomer and Buttercup squeezed in.
Bubbles gets in and remembered to remove the shoes again. "Everyone buckled?" Bubbles asked and everyone from the back said yes. Bubbles got a thumbs up from Brick. She started the car and heads towards her house. Everyone in the back was talking, but Bubbles and Brick remain quiet. She felt him staring at her again as she drove. She didn't expect this, but she was happy to be heading home.
"You dress up well Blue..." Brick comments and Bubbles blushed crimson. "
Uh... Well thank you..." She stammered.
"Hey Brick! Does that mean this is a triple?!" Butch asked from the back seat.
"Shove it and shut up before I crush your legs with my seat..." Brick drones out.
"He's just a ball of sunshine isn't he?..." Buttercup chuckles.
"And fuckin rainbows..." Brick said sarcastically.
"He's a boring son of a bitch but we love him!" Butch laughs.
Bubbles catches Brick smirking at her, she felt her entire body heat up. She heard Boomer whisper to Butch, "Dude look at his face!" and she noticed the smirk grow.
"What's so entertaining asshole?" Butch questions as Bubbles parks in the driveway.
"Wouldn't you like to know..." Brick said before getting out of the car. Bubbles get out too, she had to unlock the door. Everyone else piles out of the back as both head to the door. Bubbles opens it and Zepher runs over to investigate, meowing at Bubbles. She picked him up as everyone else piled inside.
"Fuck yeah! She's got a cat! Best chill spot ever!" Butch says, kicking off his shoes and plops on the couch by the piano. Blossom joins him quickly, almost clinging to him. Buttercup plops on the armchair and Boomer sits on the arm of it. Bubbles sat on the stool for the piano, finally comfortable without her heels. Brick just leans against the doorway to the living room.
"So what do we do now?" Buttercup asked laying back, Bubbles noticed Boomer had a hand on her back.
"I'm hungry as fuck! Brick! Order from that pizza joint by yor house!" Butch insists and Brick rolls his eyes.
"They don't deliver to this area dumbass..." Brick stated lowly. "Fuck!" Butch sighs. Bubbles remembered a food place by her house.
" Um... If it helps, there is a fried chicken restraunt that delivers down the road..." Bubbles said still shy.
"Hell yeah! Order from that!" Butch nod enthusiastically.
"I got it!" Buttercup said pulling out her cellphone and ordering the food.
"What do you have for entertainment?" Boomer asked.
"Um... I have cable and boardgames... But that's it..." Bubbles said, keeping her gaze on Brick who was still in the doorway.
"I'm going to entertain myself after I eat... Right Bloss?" Butch questions the redhead on his lap who blushed.
"Yeah!" Blossom said enthusiastically.
"Hey blondy... You down to ride?" Buttercup asked Boomer who looked confused.
"Read between the lines..." Brick tells him, facepalming, and then Boomer looked at Buttercup in shock.
"Come sit down professional party pooper!" Butch says to Brick, who flipped him off.
Brick still sits on the rocking chair beside the piano. "Can you get us to your place tonight?" Brick asks him suspiciously.
"Let's just crash here! It's big enough right?" Butch questions and Bubbles snaps her head towards him.
"Don't just assume Butch..." Brick was scolding him.
Bubbles spoke up, "It's okay if guys stay here until morning... I just don't have anything for you guys as far as hygiene and stuff..." Bubbles said timidly.
"It's settled!" Butch smiles and Brick glares at him.
"Um... I can bring you home if you're not comfortable..." Bubbles offered and Brick shakes his head.
"I'm in no rush for that Blue... Just tell me where you're allowing free loaders..." Brick specifically looked at Butch when he said that
. "When did he start calling you Blue?" Buttercup asked suspiciously.
"None ya..." Brick was still glaring at Butch.
"I'll pay for the chicken if you stop pouting!" Butch says making Brick roll his eyes again.
"The basement has two extra beds and then there's a guest room upstairs next to mine..." Bubbles said and Buttercup took initiative for her shy friend.
"Boomer, Butch, Bloss and myself go downstairs... You and warm and fuzzy can sleep upstairs..." Buttercup offered.
"Yeah, don't wanna keep you two up right?...!" Butch smirked.
"I'm going to agree with that!" Bubbles squeaked, she knew Buttercup and Blossom were gonna do more than sleep. The door sounds when all stop talking. Everyone was eventually served food and slowly leave to their respective areas. Bubbles catches Brick waiting at the bottom of the stairs.
"I thought I'd wait to be shown unlike those two assholes... Sorry we busted in on your house..." Brick sighs.
"No it's okay! Really! The girls were sleeping here anyway..." Bubbles tried to reassure him.
He nods, "Well lead the way Blue..." Brick looked almost uncomfortable. Bubbles walked up the stairs ,he started to follow. His eyes were on her the entire time. She finally gets to the guest bedroom
"Here, just knock on my door right there if you need anything..." Bubbles said and he unexpectedly put an arm around her, Bubbles body and anxiety went into overdrive because the smell of him was so close again.
"I'm sure I'll be no issue here... Have a good night..." Brick said before slowly letting go of her and going into the room.
Bubbles, breaths heavily... She needed a shower before bed...
She took a quick one and laid down in her bed, her thoughts about how Brick was in her house right now made it hard to sleep. She remembered the text from her parents and frowned. She got another one just as She thought about that.
