"Hey, dad?" Buttercup asked. Hades turned around, "Yes, sweetie?"
Buttercup was fidgeting. "Will I really marry Butch in the future?" she sheepishly questioned. Hades looked at her. "Well, you have to. It's for the sake of your future." he explained.
Buttercup leaned back on the couch. "Oh... okay." she quietly said, barely heard. Hades smiled and sat besides her. "Come on, it looks like you two are really in love!" he smiled.
She cringed at the word 'love'. She hadn't decided whether to love him or to hate him. She thinks both. "Yeah..." she trailed off, leaving Hades to wonder.
"What's wrong?"
Buttercup put her head back up, putting a fake smile on her face. "Huh? Oh nothing!" She got up and left.
Hades wondered. Persephone came in. "Hey, what's up?" she asked. He looked up at her. "I'm just wondering if Buttercup is unhappy about marrying Butch."
Persephone sat next to him. "Maybe we're pushing it. She must think about it." she assured Hades. He nodded in agreement. She grinned and left.
"Butch aren't you happy you are with Buttercup?"
"I... guess."
"Hey? Where's the enthusiasm?"
Butch rolled his eyes as Zeus talked to him about his and Buttercup's 'relationship'. "Hey, be happy that you found a girl your age!" Zeus kept talking.
"Yes, dad." Butch seemed tired. "I also think that are you proud that you're gonna get married in four years?"
Butch groaned silently, "I'm sure."
Zeus was all ecstatic and happy with Hades' and Persephone's daughter. In Butch's opinion, he wants to fool his and her parents. So he was a sly, devious god! So what?
Butch got up. Zeus looked up at his son. "Where are you going?" he asked. Butch looked back. "Well, I'm going to my room. I'm really tired." Butch replied, walking upstairs.
"I guess he's upset?" Zeus spoke to no one.
"Hey! Buttercup!" Hades yelled.
Buttercup was up in her room, playing some music. She groaned. Will she have to see Butch again? Buttercup hopes not. She crawled off her bed and opened the door to take a small peek outside.
Ah, damn. It's Butch. Buttercup thought. She opened her door full and walked out. Buttercup leaned on the rail. "Hi Buttercup!" Butch waved, then ended with a sly grin on his face. She cringed and walked down.
She walked right past Butch without saying a 'hello'. Buttercup just stood beside her dad and mom. "What's up?" she asked Hades. He just grinned. She shrugged and gave a death glare to Butch. She doesn't give a crap whether to love him or not.
Zeus spoke up. "So let's talk in the other room, Hades and Persephone." He started to walk away to another room. Butch and Buttercup think that their parents did that on purpose just to leave them alone. Both of them stood in the silence for long.
Buttercup had that 'I don't really care' look on her face and crossed her arms. Butch had that sneaky smirk on his face, looking at her. Both of were waiting for their parents to come back. Now, they were really getting irritated by being alone with each other. Buttercup, on the other hand, was thinking about how cute Butch looks with that smirk. Butch thinks about her like a fake girlfriend. Besides, he doesn't even like her! Also, Butch despises her. On his romantic side, he thinks about her as a cute girl with a badass personality.
Both of them heard a door crack open. It was Zeus, Persephone, and Hades coming out from the room. Butch and Buttercup were relieved they didn't speak to each other and to have their parents back to accompany them instead of being romantic with each other.
"We're back!" Persephone exclaimed. Buttercup rolled her eyes. "We kind of figured that out, mom." she stated. She scratched the back of her head, chuckling nervously.
Hades spoke, "Well, how are you two?"
Butch and Buttercup shrugged. "I don't... WHOA!" Buttercup was cut off by Butch pulling her on her arm. He swung his arm around her shoulders, grinning like an idiot.
How long is he gonna keep this up? She thought.
Their parents were looking at them like 'Oh they are perfect for each other!' or 'They look like they are in love!'. It makes Buttercup sick that he's playing these games with her.
Buttercup shook off Butch's arm. She approached them. "Guys, I have something-" Buttercup got cut off once again. Only to be kissed by Butch.
Her eyes went wide. Now she hated him... this time. Both of them pulled away. Buttercup's eye twitched. Butch smirked at her. She made a small growl, barely to hear.
Hades, Zeus, and Persephone were very interested in the two. Persephone could see Buttercup's eye twitch. She thought that Buttercup didn't like Butch once.
But the other day, Buttercup was very interested in him. She even was hypnotized! Persephone thought. What happened?
Buttercup was glaring at Butch again. She definitely hated him, but she kind of liked the kiss...
"I'm going up to my room." Buttercup went upstairs to her room. The door shut loudly. The four jumped. Hades nervously chuckled. "I- I'm sorry for my daughter's behavior." he apologized to Zeus and Butch.
Zeus patted him on the back. "It's okay. Besides that's how your daughter is, right?"
"Y-yes." Hades said. Zeus grinned. "Well, that's how Butch is." He faced Butch. "Right?"
Butch nodded slightly. "So, basically what you're saying is that Butch and Buttercup has the same personality?" Hades questioned, confused. Zeus grinned, "Yep!"
Wooow, Butch thought. I love Buttercup. Not in that way, but I love playing games with her.
He smirked devilishly.
Buttercup plopped on her bed. "What the hell? That idiot kissed me!" she exclaimed to nothing. "Why did he?"
She sat up on her bed, thinking. Buttercup had no idea why he was playing the game of love with her. Did he really love her? Or was he just not interested in her? Questions were roaming around in her head. She fell back on her bed again, groaning.
"Do I love him?" she whispered to herself. "No, I hate him. That little bastard thinks he's gonna play with my feelings, huh? Well, two can play at that game."
She got up from her bed, walked over to the door and opened it up. She walked straight. Buttercup leaned on the rail. "... But I know just how to do it. Watch your back, little Bitch." she quietly said, looking at Butch from downstairs. Then walked back to her room, shutting the door quietly.
