Butch looked at Buttercup. He gave her a smirk. Buttercup just scoffed and rolled her eyes. Zeus was looking around the room. It was extremely quiet. He thought of something. "Well, we'll leave you some alone time!" Then Zeus grabbed Hades' and Persephone's arms and skidded out of the room. Butch and Buttercup were standing across from each other, feet away. Both of them looked in different directions. Every second, every minute, so silent. Not until Butch broke the silence.

He looked at Buttercup. "Hey," he finally talked to her. Buttercup moved her eyes to him with a raised eyebrow, arms crossed. "What?" she hissed. "Do you enjoy every second here with me?" Butch suddenly asked. She put her arms down back to her sides. "Why do you ask that?" Buttercup spat at him.

"Just asking you, no need to get all mad." Butch assured her. She rolled her eyes. "No, I don't enjoy every second with you." But in her mind she says 'I do!'. She doesn't just like saying it in front of him. Buttercup would feel really embarrassed.

Butch leaned closer to her. "Hmm... are you sure?"

Buttercup blushed. "Y-yes." she stuttered. Buttercup never stutters before. And I mean, never.

He smirked. "But your blush says no." he pointed out. Buttercup took a step back. Her blush is still on her face. "What's your point, anyways?" she growled.

Butch gave out a small chuckle. "Really? Are you really that stupid?"

Buttercup's eye twitched, fists clenching, anger rising. She felt like punching him, but he's the son of the God: Zeus. The father of all gods! She couldn't do that! So she just let herself calm down in seconds. Leaving her fists clenched. "No, I am not." Buttercup gritted her teeth.

"Then admit it." Butch says while turning around. "Admit what?" Buttercup questioned, acting like if she didn't know the question at all.

"Admit that you are in love with me," Butch says. Buttercup could feel him smirk. "No. I will not." Buttercup stated.

Butch turned around with his heel, now facing her. He walked up to her, making Buttercup back up. She hit the wall, Butch cornered her with his arms. "Why? Are you scared of me?" he asked her.

Buttercup avoided from looking in his dark green eyes and blushed. "No." Buttercup responded. "Well then, admit it." Butch says, huskily. Buttercup blushed a deep crimson.

Buttercup's eyes was still turned away from his. "No I won't." Buttercup said, with venom dripping off. Butch just grinned devilishly at her. "You leave me no choice, Buttercup. The only way is this..."

Butch made Buttercup look at him in the eyes. He lifted up her chin, leaned in, and kissed her for the third time. Only it was longer, passionate, and romantic. He snaked his arms around her waist. Buttercup could feel herself giving into the kiss unconsciously and wrapped her arms around his neck. Both of them pulled away for lack of air.

"Now, will you admit it?" Butch asked, smirking at her. Buttercup was totally speechless. "I...I..." She could barely say a word. "I already know your answer, Buttercup." Butch finally said to her.

"What?" Buttercup already knew what he'll say. He moved his eyes to hers. "I know you would say yes." Butch finished.

Buttercup fidgeted. "That's what I thought," Butch said. "You're being really shocked after your third kiss with me!" Buttercup snapped out of her thoughts. "Still!" she protested.

Butch and Buttercup stayed in the silence for a while, then left in different directions after two minutes.


"See! I told you they'd end up together!"

"I didn't know that they would."

"Really?"

"Nope."

Zeus looked at Hades. Persephone just rolled her eyes at the two. "Oh just shut up!" she exclaimed softly. "Can we stop hiding in here? It's cramped up here."

Hades and Zeus were looking at each other, then at Persephone who raised an eyebrow. "Okay, okay." And Hades opened the closet door. All three fell out on the floor. They could see Buttercup and Butch standing right in front of them.

"Were you three spying on us?" Butch asked. Zeus jolted up. "No! We weren't!" Zeus protested.

Buttercup put a hand on her hip. "Yeaahh... suuuree..." Buttercup sarcastically said.

"It's true!" Hades cried out. Persephone was getting tired of this nonsense. So she spoke up. "Well, these two idiots were really spying on you two. They wondered if you two were actually together. So they planned this whole thing just to get you two together." Persephone explained.

Buttercup and Butch raised an eyebrow at their dads. "What the hell, dad?!" Both of them exclaimed at the same time.

Zeus and Hades were actually shocked that their children use that kind of language at their age. Both of them were gaping.

Buttercup looked at Hades. "Come on Dad, I thought you were really trustworthy!" she complained.

Butch did too. "Really, Dad? You come on spying on us? That isn't what a good father does." he scolded.

Hades and Zeus were practically having a melodramatic scene happening in the middle of the huge living room. Butch, Buttercup, and Persephone scoffed at the two grown gods.

"Dad, please. I thought you were taught better than this." Butch and Buttercup both says at the same time again. Hades and Zeus stopped doing their scene and apologized to their daughter and son.

"And I thought that this was the worst part." Buttercup whispered to Butch. Butch nodded in agreement.

"I know, right?" he whispered back. Both of them went snickering.


The next morning, Buttercup woke up to find a bouquet of buttercups by her dresser. She wondered who it was from.

"Oh, there's a note." Buttercup picked it up and read it. It said:

Hi Buttercup. It's Butch. I hope you got the buttercups I gave you. Enjoy it while you still can...

~Butch

Buttercup was still thinking about whether he actually likes her or not. Maybe another game, obviously. She put the note back down on the dresser and dried her hair. Then she noticed another note on her vanity. It says:

Did you read the first note? I'm hoping you did. Those are actually real buttercups. Buttercup, if you don't believe me, smell them.

~Butch

"What the fuck?" Buttercup was confused. She got up and smelt the flowers. "It smells pretty..." Buttercup put it down and went back to her bed. And saw another note. "The hell? Why are there so many notes?" she complained. So she picked it up and scanned through it.

I'm sure you are irritated with me sending all these notes, aren't you? I think that this will be the last note I'll be giving you for today. I'm guessing you like buttercups? I know your second favorite kind of flower is roses, yes? Just don't ask me. I asked your mom, so yeah.

~Butch

Buttercup set it down on her bed. "Why is he doing all this? I just don't get it. He hates me." Buttercup says to no one.


Butch looked out his window. He just grinned to himself. "The next game just begun."

He separated himself from the window and plopped on his bed. "I'm hoping to see you again. This time I won't be nice to you." Butch says to himself. "You may think I like you but that's the meaning of the game."

He sat up and smirked devilishly. "It's just the beginning of it, Buttercup." He got up and grabbed a remote-like thing from his nightstand drawer and pressed the button.


Buttercup was done drying her hair and she could see smoke coming in her room. She coughed. Where was it coming from? She looked at the flowers. One thing she thought: Butch.

"What... the... hell...?" Buttercup coughed in between. Her vision was becoming blurry. All she could see was a figure coming in from the window.

The figure came closer to her. "It was the beginning, Buttercup." the figure said.

"Wh... what?" Buttercup said. She could barely see the man smirk at her.

Then everything blacked out.
