.*chapter 9 and still going strong!*
(Third person pov)
After breakfast everyone got ready and met in the lobby, all looking very happy. Brick and Blossom plopped the kids in the bus that Bubbles and Boomer rented for transportation. Brick gave them his laptop to watch a movie on since town was half an hour away. "That is very kind of you to trust a VERY expensive piece of technology in his hands to two three and a half year olds." Blossom said sitting with Brick in the seat across from them. "We're gonna be on the road all day, they need something to do in here..." Brick smiled sheepishly.
Blossom smiled at him, he was so thoughtful! He put his arm around her shoulders and pulled her close, hoping this was still okay around the kids. Blossom melted into the touch moving closer and laying her head on his chest, he radiated heat and was so warm. Not the warmth that made you overheat, but the warmth that makes you want to cuddle up and feel more. When everyone got on the bus, they looked at the two reds and smiled while walking to take their seats.
"This is new..." Boomer whispered and smiled to Bubbles. Blossom noticed that Brick had put on some from of bodyspray and the smell of sandalwood made her nose tingle. "Are you trying to smell nice for me..." Blossom giggled as his face went red. He did exactly that because Blossom liked to bury herself in his chest. "Maybe..." He smiled at her, she was so cuddly. Brick absolutely loved to snuggle people he cared about. Blossom was on the top of his list. To him she was soft, her lush curves were perfect for cuddling.
The drive to town was absolutely beautiful, all the women stared at the scenery in awe. " What's out there is almost as beautiful as what's in here..." Brick whispered poking Blossom on the nose. Blossom blushed he was one of the most complementary people she has ever seen. She couldn't say that she hated it though, it made her feel happy.
Everyone else were not just enjoying the scenery, but the closeness of the two oblivious love birds at the front of the bus. They had hoped that the two would connect and find each other. The professor smiled, his daughter looked beyond happy to be near him. Everyone was waiting for them to say something about their new closeness, but they stayed quiet about it. They had felt the two were holding back, but why?
When they got to town Brick and Blossom got up and went to get the kids. " Blossom! It's fine! Enjoy your shopping, I want to take them..." The professor said making them both smile. He whispered as he walked by "Are you two in a relationship?" so the kids wouldn't hear. Blossom blushed, her father was always observant. When he looked at her Blossom used sign language to answer him and he nodded. Pointing to the kids and making a zipping motion before smiling and leaving with the kids.
"You guys know sign language?" Brick asked with a impressed look. "One of the teachers at my kids preschool is deaf... And the professor used to teach deaf people about the wonders of science... so we know how..." Blossom smiled and gave him a peck on the cheek, now her dad knew. When they turned to everyone else, they all looked at them expectantly. " You guys are dating!" Bubbles said with a happy giggle. "Yeah, but we're going to wait to tell kids until the right time." Blossom said making sure everyone was listening. "Butch? Why aren't you surprised?" Buttercup asked and everyone turned to look at the smirking green ruff. "Because Brick sucks at pool..." He flipped off Brick who was already doing it to him.
Buttercup gaped at him "And you didn't let me know!?" She put her hands on her hips. "Made a solemn vow to keep it quiet..." He chuckled at his firey girlfriend. As they exited the bus, everyone was talking about Brick and Blossom. "Let's make a break for it..." Brick said and pulled Blossom in a direction away from the commotion.
They ended up in an alley of stores and restaurants, all local and all beautiful. Blossom spotted something she found interesting and walked with Brick to investigate. It was a store with knick knacks and jewelry, all hand made. Blossom picked up a seashell necklace and smiled, it had a large opal hanging in the center. The sight of it made her eyes light up, and Brick noticed. He gestured the shop keep to come over to them. "Can I help you sir?" The guy was a big native Hawaiian, who smiled warmly at the young woman eyeing his work. "I want to get her that necklace she's holding..." Brick smiled as she looked at him in surprise. "Yes of course! It's $20!" The shop keep ushered Bick over where pay. Brick pulled out the money and paid him. "Anything else I can give you?" The man asked Brick. "Yeah... Those..." he pointed out at the earrings with the same exact design. They had a single seashell and an opal dangling from the bottom.
As they left Brick handed Blossom the jewelry and looked at her smiling. Blossom blushed "Are you sure?" She was so damn cute to him. "I wouldn't have purchased them if you didn't look at them with so much wonder and happiness..." Brick smiled at her even more. He grabbed the jewelry and helped her put them on, looking at her with approval. "They suit you, the pink of the shells and the opal bring out your eyes..." Brick took her hand, leading her through the tiny market place. Blossom brought her hand to the necklace and smiled, he was so sweet...
During their little adventure they bought a few more things, such as a Sun hat for Blossom, a new dress for Blossom, a few interesting knick knacks for Brick. During this entire time they'd been able to to see each other, Blossom had never felt closer to Brick. They reached a tiny restaurant and sat down, they ordered a small bit of food (not to spoil lunch) and talked. They loved that they could keep a conversation going and not get tired of each other.
Their quick meal was finally interrupted when their siblings finally found them. "There you guys are!" Bubbles called out, interrupting both of the reds from their current topic of conversation. "Hey guys!" Blossom smiled and Brick rolled his eyes with a smirk. "You two disappeared before we could hear all the details!" Buttercup said with a pout. "I'm sure that won't be necessary..." Blossom blushed. She and Brick started from some impressive, intense and very passionate sex, and she wasn't too impatient on giving out the details.
"Did you just come to bug us about our relationship?" Brick asked with a raised brow and a very sarcastic look. "Nah we gave up when you guys ducked for cover and made a undetected escape from us..." Boomer said with a chuckle. "We actually came to get you because the bus is ready to go and we gotta get on it... Hope you saved room for lunch!" Bubbles already sounded excited. Brick left the money on the table, thankfully they didn't order a lot. The three couples made their way to the bus and got in, Blossom saw the professor and the kids all entertaining each other. Blossom greeted them warmly and sat down, smiling when Brick did the same.
Buttercup sat behind them dragging Butch into the seat next to her and whispered "I'm not gonna give up until you two spill everything! Butch knows, so I deserve to know too!" Brick gaped at her for a second until Blossom cut in. "Fine Butch can tell you, then we'll fill in the blanks... Just save it for when my children are out of earshot..." She sounded flustered and Brick placed a hand on hers to comfort her. Blossom took it warmly and looked at him under her lashes with a shy blush. That's when Buttercup began to text Butch without mercy. Butch could barely keep up and Brick noticed her eyes widen and her actually start to devilishly grin at the two. She thumbs upped Brick who didn't know how to take it, and then she leaned over to Blossom and whispered "On the airplane?!" Causing her sister and Brick to flush and glare at them.
"Is that why you two left in such a hurry last night? To break the bead in?" Buttercup asked and knew the reaction, dodging her now blushing sister's attempt to smack her. "There's my answer!" Buttercup said with a now uncontrollable snicker. Boomer and Bubbles looked over at them deciding they've had enough of being out of the loop before texting their eldest siblings a question mark. Both of them just texted "Butch will fill you in..." before groaning in defeat.
Both blonds were blushing as much as the reds, Bubbles gaped at both of them before giggling in either embarrassment and/or understanding. Boomer looked at Brick before texting him "Dude any pointers for your about to be married brother? Because the amount of sex you've been having says it's worth her coming back to!" Brick just stared at the message with a "You've gotta be shitting me?" expression.
With a frustrated sigh he texted back "Oral and foreplay dude... Gets the gears running..." before purposefully ignoring the text from Butch that said "You gave Boomer pointers? Sweet Jesus! Possibly me too?! Lol!" Brick just shut off his phone and then stared a Blossom who smiled at him. He definitely knew she was worth it, and she was now something that he couldn't let go of.
