Love is overrated

by irock2810

I never thought that something so simple as love really matter in the world. I thought that love would be like so many other things in the world, and people will find that it is overrated, but no matter how long, love is something that will never be less than what people say it is. Love will not become overrated.

Third Person

I can no longer ignore these feelings I have. This feeling I have is what most people would call love, something I thought I would never get caught up in. I'm able to tell them things that I can't tell anyone else. They are able to see me for me and not what I'm known as by other people. I think that I will allow myself to fall in love, just this one time.

Buttercup P.O.V

"Well I'm glad to see you came to the party!" I said with a huge smile plastered across my face as I let Butch in the house. "Yeah whatever, you're the one who made me come in the first place."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Flashback ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"WHAT!" Butch yelled making people that were passing by turn and look.

"I said-" "No I know what you said what I mean is why do I have to come. I don't want to be at some stupid party with old people.

"Neither do I, but at least if you come I won't be tempted to smash my head into a wall" He started to think about it "My answer is no" Then he started to walk home. I hurried to catch up with him.

"What do you mean your answer is no?" I said stopping in front of him but he just went around me.

"It's just as I said, no I'm not going to go to your dad's dumb anniversary party" He kept walking not even looking back.

"I didn't want to do this Butchy but you leave me no choice" Once he heard that he stopped and turned towards me with wide eyes. "You wouldn't…. you couldn't" "Oh but I can Butchy but I won't have to if you decide to come to the party" He had an intense look on his face; I couldn't help but smirk as he decided to come to a decision.

"Fine I'll come to the party," and before I could celebrate my victory he continued speaking "but only if you agree to release me as your slave" He had a huge grin on his face as he looked at my mortified faced.

It seems that he does have a few surprises up his sleeve. I stepped forward and stopped when I got close enough to him that I could see his deep green eyes. I never noticed how much taller he was compared to me; I barely reached the top of nose. I had to look up just to look him in the face.

"Deal" I said as I reached out my hand to make it official. He reached out his hand and when our hands touched for some odd reason time seemed like it was slowing down. I don't know what was going on my heart started to beat a little faster and I think my hands started to get sweaty or maybe that was Butch's hands.

I quickly let go of his hand and stepped back, whatever just happened I didn't like it. I looked up to see Butch staring at me and before he could say anything I spoke up "Well I'll see you tomorrow and don't forget that the party's in 4 days." And I hurried off not trying to talk about what just happened.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ End Flashback ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since that day neither Butch nor I have said anything about it. The next day after that I went over to his house to go to the mall and get him a suit. In the end things went pretty good, we pretended like what happened that day didn't really happen. But after thinking of that day I can't help but feel weird around him. Like I might pass out if I'm not right next to him.

I have been going over his house often to take full advantage of him being my slave. I even use my power to embarrass him in front of his brothers or have him do something for them. Since I spend a lot of time at his place I kind of bonded with his brothers. They kind of remind me of my sisters at times, like when Brick lectures Boomer about something or when Boomer gives us his puppy dog eyes to get something he wants.

"Hey Buttercup" I jumped a little as I was pulled out of my trance by my little sister Bubbles. "Oh Bubbles, what is it?" "I was wondering if you could pass out some of the food to the guest, I would really appreciate it" She said and gave me a pleading smile "Yea sure, not like I have anything better to do." Then I took the tray she was holding and started making my way through the crowd of people.

While I was passing food out to a few of the professor's close friends, someone bumped into me and I started to stumble a little but I caught myself. "Hey! Watch what you're doing." I said then turned around to find that the person who bumped into me was Butch.

He looked mesmerizing in his black suit with his dark green tie. His spiked hair was laid down so that part of it covered half of his right eye and his emerald green eyes seemed to darken with the lack of light. I couldn't help but stare, but I noticed that he was staring too. Then he spoke "Hey." He said, it seemed as if he was at a loss for words.

"How's the party going" "Its sucks," He said starting to ease up "these people are boring, it seems like all they talk about is science"

"Well they are scientist" I said stating the obvious. He looked at me then smirked, my legs started to get weak and it felt like they would give at any moment. "Here" I said, shoving the tray I was carrying in Butch's face. "Since you're so bored pass out some of this food."

"What! No way, you pass it out that's what you were doing anyway." He said pushing the tray back towards me "Yea but I don't want to and you're still my slave until after the party, so start passing out this food slave" I grinned at Butch as he turned to pass out the food. As he left I could hear him muttering to himself. I couldn't make out much of what he said, just something about he can't believe something.

Since I was no longer passing out the food I went and stood in a corner. I kind of watched Butch from a distance but I wouldn't stare at him for too long. Then the professor came towards me. "Hi Buttercup how are you doing" "I'm fine professor, are you enjoying your party?" "Oh yes I'm so glad that you girls stayed, I know you would rather be doing something else than be here." "You're totally right about that but if it will make you happy then I guess one day of this wouldn't kill me." I then looked up and gave the professor a smile. He gave me a hug and went back to the party.

Butch P.O.V

Here I am passing out food, at a stupid party, filled with old scientist. Just because of Buttercup and me being her slave for the rest of the party. As I passed out the food I spotted Buttercup standing in a corner by herself. She looked so different from when I first met her on the way home from the skate park. She wore a light green spaghetti strap dress that went down to her knees and she had on a pair of black 2 inch high heels. Her midnight black hair went straight down almost pass her shoulders. But even though she looked different then when I met her, she was still like the same BC from before. Strong, Independent, Witty, and ready for a challenge.

Since that day she agreed to release me as her slave things felt different. My hearts starts to beat wildly and I hate being away from her. This feeling is so new to me and I don't like how it feels. 'I hate this feeling, maybe if I just ignore it, it'll go away.' Then I looked away from Buttercup, but before I looked away a man went up to her and she gave him a hug. That must be her father; he was dressed up for the party like everyone else. He had on a black tuxedo and a white tie, his hair was a little messy on his head though.

I decided to try and avoid BC for the rest of the party give this feeling time to go away. I started going around the room to pass out the food. Some of the scientist recognized me from when my brothers and I helped present some of my dad's inventions.

The party passed quicker than I thought it would, before I knew it everyone was leaving and it was almost 11 o'clock. I was the last guest to leave but before I could open the door Buttercup called me.

"Hey Butchy leaving so soon" She gave me a wide smile. I didn't like the look on her face it made me think that she had something planned "Umm… Yea it's pretty late, so I was just going to head home." She just continued to give me that wide smile and every second that passed by it got weirder and weirder. "Well let me walk you home" and before I could reply she was pushing me out the door.

As she pushed me down the sidewalk she kept looking back at her house. Finally when we were at the corner she stopped pushing me and started walking beside me. "What was that all about?" I asked looking at her "Ughhhh my sisters were bugging the fuck out of me with what you were doing at the party and other crap and I just needed to get out of the house" I nodded my head understanding what she means.

"I know what you mean; my brothers can be annoying a lot but you got to love them. That's just how a family works, you may fight or bug each other but when it really counts your there for each other." After a second I noticed that Buttercup wasn't walking beside me. I looked back toward her and seen that she was just staring at me like my face suddenly started to turn purple

"What's up with you BC" I asked as I moved toward her "Butchy I think that is the smartest thing you ever said to me and you weren't trying to hit on me. You have finally grown up Butchy, as your master I have never been more proud." "Oh yeah," I yelled putting my hand in a fist and putting it in my other hand. "I almost forgot that you have to release me as your slave now that the party is over."

"Alright let go to your house it would be better to do it there." I didn't understand what she meant but she was already walking toward my house, so I just walked with her. "What do we have to do at my house that involves you unslaving me?" I asked as we continued to walk. "Nothing really but we do need witnesses and I'm sure Brick and Boomer would love to see this." When she said that I started to have a bad feeling about this, but decided that if something is going to happen I might as well make it enjoyable for me too.

Buttercup P.O.V

I couldn't wait to embarrass Butch in front of his brothers. It was true that we need a witness for this, but his brothers being the witness is just a bonus. I walked ahead of Butch since I knew how to get to his house despite only being there a few times. It was weird having Butch be so quiet while I walked in front of him. Usually he would have said something, made an attempt to flirt with me or something.

"Hey Buttercup, are you sure you need witnesses for this or is there another reason you want to go to my house?" Spoke to soon. I continued to walk but looked back at Butch and seen that he had that same stupid smirk on his face. The same smirk he gave me the first day we met. Suddenly my heart started to race and I quickly turned away from him. "No you pervert, just because you aren't going to be my slave doesn't mean that I am going to date you." I stated not looking back to see his reaction.

Soon we were in front of a tall brick house. The first thing I noticed was the uncut grass; it was as high as my knee. Since I was ahead of Butch I waited on the porch that had no railings to keep someone from falling off. Once Butch reached the door he pulled out a key chain with a few keys on it, a chain that said 'fuck you' and another chain with a picture on it of a man with a sort of monkey face and 3 little kids. The man had a black beard that was messy and untrimmed and wore a pure white lab coat and he had a frown on his face that made you think that it might have been stuck on his face. It was hard for me to tell how old he was but after looking closely I decided that he might have been in his late 20's or early 30's

The 3 little boys seemed to be around the ages of 5 to 8. The boy on the man's right had dark orange hair and blood red eyes and looked mature for his age. He was wearing a baseball cap on his head and it was pulled backwards. Some of his hair still stuck out of the cap though. He had on a red shirt with a big star on it in black. He had on blue jeans and black Nikes. He was standing with arms crossed in the picture.

The boy in the middle had a childish look about him, which made me think that he was the youngest. He had dirty blond hair and deep blue eyes. He sat in front of the older man with a wide smile on his face. He wore a white t-shirt under a dark blue vest with khaki pants on and blue and black Nikes.

The last boy stood farther away from the other boys and the man. He had oil black hair and emerald green eyes and a deep frown on his face. He didn't seem like he wanted to be there with the other males in the picture. He had on black and green Nikes and black shorts on then he had on a plain dark green shirt.

Once Butch found the key he was looking for he looked at me and seen me looking at the picture. "That picture was taken about 10 years ago when I was 7 years old." He started to speak till looking at the door to unlock it. "The one standing away from the others is me. I didn't really like being with my dad or my brothers too much when I was younger. I just sometimes felt like I didn't belong there with them." He said then the door opened.

The house was much bigger on the inside then it looked from the outside. As soon as you step into the house you are in a huge living room with a flat screen T.V and an Xbox hooked up to it. And a dark yellow couch that could fit 2 people on it. Then there were 2 pure white armchairs on each side of the couch and a large wooden coffee table in the middle of it all.

The walls were white and there was yellow carpet on the floor until it reached the kitchen. The kitchen had white marble floors and black walls. The counters were brown with black wooden tops and there was as a round table in the middle of the room with 3 chairs pulled up to it. There was a few bowls and cups in the sink. After I was done looking around the house I had Butch go and get his brothers. As he passed by me I whispered to him "I understand" and he continued to make his way toward the stairs.

Butch P.O.V

I went to go get my brothers as it seemed like I didn't have a choice in the matter. As I made my way up stairs I started to think about what I told BC outside. I never told anybody about my family or about how my brothers and I didn't use to get along then. For it was easy to tell Buttercup about it, like I knew that she wouldn't pity me or I knew she would understand.

Once I made it to the top of the stairs I forced the thought out of my head and headed for the closes room. But I couldn't ignore this strange feeling I had in the pit of my stomach as I thought of Buttercup. I knock on the blood red door that belonged to my older brother and not long after the door swung open, showing Brick. "What do you want?" "You have to come downstairs, Buttercup needs witnesses" Before he could speak again I left to go get Boomer.

Once I arrived in front of the dark blue door, I knocked twice and waited. When nothing happened I knocked again and waited then nothing happened so I just walked in. I found Boomer standing on his bed with his headphones blasting. I just stood in the doorway, then he turned around took in my presence. "What's up Butch? How was the party?" "It was terrible, but I'll tell you about it later. You have to come down stairs BC needs you for a witness." Then I headed downstairs with Boomer following behind me asking a million questions.

Brick P.O.V

So after Butch left my room, I put on a black tank top and some ruby red sweat pants and headed downstairs. Once I got to the bottom of the stairs I saw Buttercup sitting in one of the white armchairs in the living room. When she saw me coming down the stairs she gave me a quick smile and got up. "Hey Brick." "Sup Buttercup. You look beautiful in that dress" I said going to sit down on the large yellow couch.

"Thanks Brick" BC said after looking down at what she was wearing. "Oh so you'll accept his complements but when I complement you, you just shrug it off" Butch said as he made his way down the stairs with Boomer trailing behind. "Yea that's because you always say something perverted after." Then Butch just shrugged his shoulders and sat down on the armchair to the right of the couch.

After everyone was sitting down Buttercup got up and stood on the coffee table. "Alright boys you might be wondering what is going on." Buttercup said standing tall and proud on the coffee table. She took off the heels she had on so not to fall. "Butchy here has made a deal with me and now that my part of the deal is over I have to release him from being my slave early." She says then gestures for Butch to stand next to her. She steps off the coffee table and starts to whisper in Butch ear.

I watch how Butch reacts to what Buttercup is whispering to him. After a while his eyes started to get big and then when she was finished he turned and looked toward me and Boomer. Then he dragged Buttercup into the kitchen, I could hear them arguing but they were trying to stay quiet so I didn't catch everything they said. I stood up and was going to head to my room.

Then they came back into the room after a few minutes and Butch had a look of defeat on his face. Buttercup had a huge smile on her face and was trying not to laugh. "Oh don't tell me your leaving Brick you're going to miss the fun" Buttercup said as she took Butch's jacket. "Yea I'm bored and there's nothing going on here so I was going to bed" "Oh come on what's going to happen was so worth the wait" Buttercup said moving towards the wall by the kitchen. I thought about it and decided to wait a little longer.

Then all of a sudden Butch was standing on the coffee table with his hands on hips and his chest out. Suddenly a song stared to play and Butch started to dance. The song was 'Single Ladies' and Buttercup was playing the song from here phone. Butch was dancing to the song the way do they do on the music video. It was surprising he could do some of the moves. A shake of the hips, a dip and then a twirl then it was over and he was just standing on the coffee table.

Butch P.O.V

I just stood there watching my brothers and Buttercup laugh at me. Boomer was bent over on the floor laughing with one arm around his stomach and the other balled up and a fist hitting the floor. Brick was on the couch bent over with tears in his eyes from laughing so hard. Then there was Buttercup, the witch who made me do this, leaning on the wall with her head back laughing. With every second that pass by I was getting more upset.

Then they all stopped laughing and wiped the tears from their eyes from laughing so hard. "Man Buttercup," Boomer said still giggling here and there "that was hilarious. I can't believe you made him do that and with us here too." "Well I knew you guys wouldn't want to miss this and I told you it would be worth the wait didn't I Brick" Buttercup said moving towards the group.

"You were right Buttercup but you should have told me about it so I could have got my camera to record it." Buttercup just nodded her head in agreement and said that she would let him know next time she pranks me or something. After a little bit longer of them talking Brick and Boomer got up to go to bed and I walked Buttercup home.

On the walk to her house I was deciding when to put my revenge into action. I decided to wait till we got to her house. When we finally made that's when I started my plan. "Well I'll see you later Butchy." Buttercup said. But before she could open the door I reached for her hand "Aren't you forgetting something Buttercup" I said in a low smooth voice. "What are you talking about Butch" She said looking at the hand I was holding and then at my face.

I moved my face closer to hers as she watched me. I could see her face becoming a light pink and then I stopped next to her ear. "Good night Buttercup" I whispered and then as I moved away I looked into her emerald green eyes. I felt like something was pulling me toward her and before I knew it I was kissing her.

I'm sooo proud of myself I made this a longer chapter then the last two. But I did take a long time to write this so sorry for the wait but I hope you enjoyed the story.
