'Must be some out of this world pussy you're giving him, Pinkie.'
'Cut it out, Butch' Boomer intervened, starting to clean out the table.
'Dont tell me, she's servicing you, too? Am I the only one left out?' Butch sneered at Blossom, trying to get a reaction out of her. Her jaw visibly tensed as she squinted her eyes and replied slowly, in a bone-chilling tone:
'How dare you talk to me like that?'
Her hands clenched into fists, turning a strange white hue.
'It's a joke, not a dick, why are you taking it so hard?' Butch responded , a malicious twinkle gleaming in his eyes.
Blossom attempted to steady her breathing, growing more red with anger by the minute.
'Wanna take it outside, Flossy? You look like you need to cool off a little.'
' You won't provoke me. Unlike you, I have a semblance of self-control.' she spat between her teeth.
'Ah, you do? Didn't look like that the other day when you were going at it like rabbits.' he taunted her.' Put me on the waiting list, maybe your pussy can help me. I wanna be a good guy, too.'
'Don't lose it, Blossom. don't lose it. dontloseitdontloseit''
'I say we take it outside.' Butch grinned sadistically, opening the nearby window, then extending an arm towards her.
'I'm not doing this, Butch.' Blossom retorted, trying to regain her composture.
'Who said you have a choice in it?' he forcibly grabbed her hand and dashed off through the snow in a mix of pink and green.
'Fuck, Butch, don't.' Boomer's voice rang from the house, then he followed their trail.
Butch yanked her by the hand and hit her in the chin with his knee, sending her flying face down into the snow across the garden.
'Fuck.' she felt a crack as she tried to open her jaw, something was badly broken. Blood started flowing out of her mouth, she'd almost bitten her tongue off.
'Relax, Flossy. I won't fuck you up. Just rough you up a little for pussy-whipping my brother.' Butch shouted from the distance.
Blossom felt a helping hand touching her back:
'Brick is not going to like this.' he murmured, looking at all the blood. 'I'll help you, we can take him on together.'
'Thanks.' she managed to mouth.
Butch approached them both, seemingly amused.
'Look, man, stop. Brick's gonna lose his marbles when he sees you hurt her.' Boomer tried to reason with him, extending his hands in front of Butch as a sign of peace.
'You think you can fight me, Boomer? Really, you?' he let out a guttural laugh.
'Maybe not alone, but we can do it together.' he glanced towards Blossom.
'The more, the merrier!' he exclaimed as he clashed in them both, sending them deeper in the ground.
What followed was a tornado of pink, green and blue. It was hard to tell where a punch ended and another one started. Blossom barely managed to disentangle herself from the vortex before Butch activated a powerful electrical field that sent Boomer's body into a wave of convulsions. As Boomer laid twitching on the ground, the green ruff caught up with Blossom, locking her in an embrace.
'Listen, bitch! I don't know what the fuck you did to Brick, but I'm going to make your life a living hell if you keep at it.' he cackled in her year.
Blossom struggled to escape as he felt him crushing her body harder and harder, barely being able to take a breath.
A flash of realisation passed on her face and she focused, feeling her skin growing warmer by the second, eventually causing an explosion that sent Butch's battered body across the garden.
She turned around and noticed Boomer standing next to her, looking worse for the wear.
'Cool move.' he half-smiled at her.
'Thanks. Let's check up on him.' Blossom suggested, approaching Butch's crash site.
They got to him as he was getting up, the flesh of his face and torso burned to a crisp.
'Bringing out the big guns, ey, Blossy?' he mocked her, removing some of the charred remains of his skin.
'I don't want to continue this. Unless you want me to burn your back as well.' Blossom felt a satisfied smile curling up her lips.
'Yeah, Butch... let's just get the wood. I don't want to piss Brick off.'
Butch glanced a bit from one to the other, ultimately giving in.
'Alright...You get a pass today. But watch your back, Flossy.' he turned his back on them and made it towards the house.
'Where do you think you're going? You need to help us.' Blossom yelled, but he successfully ignored her, entering the kitchen via open window.
'Let him be. He's pissed.' Boomer pleaded, already scouting for firewood.
'That doesn't mean he can get a pass from chores.' Blossom insisted.
'It does when you're Butch.' he concluded, picking up a comically large piece of wood nearby and breaking it into logs.
Blossom took a long gaze at the blonde teen as he methodically broke off smaller and smaller pieces:
'How can you stand them, honestly?'
Boomer looked up at her and chuckled in response:
'They're my brothers, if I don't who's gonna?'
'Fair point. But if you don't tell them what bothers you nothing's ever going to change.'
'I guess you're right. It's just that it's easier for me to go with the flow, you know?'
More times passed as they gathered the wood, it was piling up nicely, they wouldn't need much more than that.
'Thanks, by the way.' Boomer casually said.
'For what?'
'I never liked killing... sometimes I had to do it, tho. I never could really... talk to them about it. So...thanks.' he smiled shyly at her.
'No problem.' she responded, eyeing him curiously.
They managed to get enough firewood to last them for the night. They got a fire going and Blossom scouted the rooms for a decent bed to sleep in. The cabin was small, and it only had two bunk beds in each room, only four places to sleep in in total. She found Butch in one of them, playing some sort of game on his phone as his flesh healed.
'How you doing? Who's done that to you? You look a lil rough around the edges.' he pointed at her face, suppressing a laugh.
'At least I have edges left, yours are burnt to a crisp.' Blossom retorted, going back to the other room.
She chose the bottom bed and snuck under the covers. The fire hadn't kicked in yet, so the temperature was still fairly unpleasant. Her tongue had healed, but her jaw was still sore, it would probably take a few more hours to mend properly. A little shut-eye couldn't hurt, so she closed her eyes and eventually dozed off to sleep.
She was woken up by the sound of someone flying in. It was already dark, and she could barely see who it was. However, it was hard to mistake Brick's distinctive voice for anything else.
'Hey.' Blossom said, rubbing her eyes of sleep. 'How late is it?'
'2 AM.' he simply answered, sitting next to her on the bed.
'Where were you? You left in a real rush.'
'Privacy, Blossom. I told you before. ' he looked her in the eye, seemingly exhausted. 'How was your day? I see you managed to warm up the place.'
' That, AND getting attacked by your brother.' Blossom added bitterly.
'I would have been surprised if he didn't do that, honestly. He tends to try to solve his problems in a physical manner. I wouldn't have left you with him if I didn't know Boomer was here to help.' Brick replied, rubbing at his eyes.
'You left knowing he would attack?'Blossom inquired, slightly annoyed.
'I knew it to be a possibility.' he defended himself. 'I needed to leave, couldn't have postponed it for more than a few hours.' he paused and tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
'You've put me in a difficult position, Red.' he murmured.
'And you haven't?' she retorted softly, the trace of his touch burning on her cheek.
'I guess that makes two of us.' he lightly stroked her lower lip with his thumb.
'Why does he have to look at me like that?'
His gaze was clouded over, she could tell he was staring at her lips.
'I wasn't wrong.' he confessed, drawing out the words.
'...?'
'When I told you you were perfect. Not just objectively. But also for me. I regret nothing.'
He looked her in the eyes, his intense gaze sending shivers down her spine.
'I want us to travel, to learn, to experience this life together. I don't mind a few hiccups along the way.' he broke eye contact and turned to the side.' We might outlive all of them all anyway.'
'Outlive them all..? Could he mean Chemical X?'
The thought had casually passed her mind before as well, she wondered if the X that had such regenerative properties might allow them to live forever. But she had quickly brushed it off, her college work had seemed more important at the time.
'It's only a theory, but I have my reasons to suspect that we will develop to maturity and stay like that forever. But time will tell.' Brick said, giving her a lopsided smile.
' It could be right, I've considered it, too.'
'If that's the case we've got our work cut out for us. Hand in hand until the Earth is old and withered. And beyond.' he said, closing the space between them with a chaste kiss.
Blossom felt her heart speeding up, if she didn't know better she'd think it would burst. He was sitting far too close, and saying all of these things..
'Why are you so...?'
'Amazing?' he interjected playfully.
'...frustrating.' she finished, letting out a sigh.
'What do you mean by that?' he teased her, getting even closer.
'You ...confuse me.' she replied slowly, distracted by the feeling of his breath on her neck.
'On the contrary, I think I've made my intentions clear from the beginning.' he murmured, nibbling on her ear.
Blossom could feel warmth pooling up in her sex, she gasped as he slipped his hand under her shirt.
'It's not about your intentions.' she managed to concentrate enough to reply.
'I know.' he added, taking off her pants just enough so he could have access to her core.
'What do you know..?' she gasped as he massaged her through her underwear.
'It's about your feelings for me. You don't know what to feel.'
'That's not tr..' she attempted to say, but Brick had already moved her panties to the side and slipped a finger in her folds.
'But ..Butch, Boomer.' she attempted to say, but he covered her mouth with his other hand.
'I'll be very quiet this time.'
She nodded as she felt him spread her lips wide then went above them to tease her clit.
'Lie down.' he whispered, and she obeyed, his hand stil on her mouth.
He started using her juices to massage her clit with his fingers. He looked her in the eyes as he proceeded with the sweet torture, muffling her moans with his hand. He grinned in satisfaction as he witnessed her eyes rolling over in ecstasy.
Blossom felt she could burst, waves of pleasures overcame her as he continued stroking.
'I'm starting to really grow on you. And it scares you.' he said, slipping a finger in her core, then another one.
She moaned as he pumped his fingers into her, massaging her walls. He tried different motions, testing her reactions, insisting where he saw her responding enthusiastically.
Bloosom felt the familiar warmth, then s surge of electricity unloaded into Brick's arm. He managed to suppress the subsequent twitch, then he took a look at his hand, adorned with a fresh red lightning shaped mark.
He uncovered her mouth:
'I told you I'll be quiet.' and he planted a long, hungry kiss on Blossom's lips.
'Frustrating.' she replied, shaking her head.
'Goodnight.' he grinned and jumped in the bed above her.
'What if he's right about my feelings..? I'm in big trouble.'
