Blossom and Brick rounded the corner, both sets of eyes warily glancing around, half expecting to see some sort of brawl.
Instead, the pair noticed a rather cheery, blonde, pig-tailed girl excitedly jumping up and down, rapidly speaking in multiple languages. Behind her, Boomer sat back mesmerized at the actions of the blonde girl while Buttercup was huffing and glaring at the green eyed boy who was laughing uncontrollably on the floor.
Blossom pinched the bridge of her nose. "Do I want to know?"
Everyone's attention turned towards the red couple and Bubbles jumped excitedly towards them. "Blossom! ¡Yo gano! ¡Yo gano! ¡Gané contra Buttercup!"
"Ah," Blossom nodded. "I see. Congratulations, Bubbles!"
"Uh, what?" Brick glanced between the sisters.
Blossom turned from her overly-excited sister, who was still speaking Spanish. "Bubbles said that she won and she beat Buttercup."
"And you understood that?"
Blossom gave a small shrug. "Well, living with her for eighteen years, I should pick up something." Blossom smiled at Brick. "You remember how we talked about each one of us having a unique ability? Bubbles' unique ability is to be able to speak any language. Her go-to language to express her excitement is Spanish."
"When you say 'any language' does that also include dead languages?" Brick inquired.
Bubbles nodded but held up a finger. "Sh, that's a secret though!"
"It's more than just dead languages. She can also speak with any animal, including aquatic life." Blossom informed, amazing Brick and Boomer. Butch, however, was too busy laughing.
Buttercup threw a pillow at Butch, successfully hitting him in the face. "Shut up already!"
Butch attempted to get up, still laughing. "That was the greatest thing I've ever seen! Boss, get this shit-" Another pillow to the face. "Butters here was checking out Hydro Racer and the little angel wanted to play."
"Shut up!"
"No, no, they have to hear this." Butch waved Buttercup off, still laughing. "So this precious girl sees the cute lil' ducky boat you have the option as playing as and Butters gets the sickest ride possible, of course, high speed and everything-"
"And I beat Buttercup!" Bubbles cheered, clearly not getting why it's so funny, but happy to have beaten her competitive sister anyway.
"And she beat Buttercup!" Butch followed, emphasizing Bubbles and nodding towards her, holding his hands out. "She beat Butters with the tiny-ass duck!" He went into another laughing fit.
"Ugh! That's it, I've had it!" Buttercup launched at Butch, knocking him back on the ground. "I said shut up!"
Butch laughed more grasping her wrists so she couldn't hit him. "Aw, what's wrong? Can't take losing?"
"No." Bubbles and Blossom said while Buttercup shouted.
"Why can't I move my wrists?" Buttercup struggled in Butch's grasp, unaware of her suggestive position as she straddled him.
"Super strength, sweetheart, I'm full of it." He tugged on her wrists, pulling her down on him – their lips mere inches apart.
"That's impossible!" Another attempt to free her hands. "I'm the strongest there is!"
"Guess you've met your match." Butch's words almost shattered Buttercup's world. Her strength was all she had. It was what truly set her apart from her sisters. She was the toughest. No one could beat her.
And yet here was this stranger, this stranger that held onto her no problem.
Buttercup's moment of silence concerned her sisters before Buttercup shouted "Fuck this!" And switched hers and Butch's positions, flinging him off of her and across the room. The only thing that stopped his body was the wall he hit.
Once Butch landed on the ground, he sat up, dumbfounded. "What the hell just happened?"
His brothers blinked. Once. Twice.
"Holy shit."
Both the blond brother and the redheaded brother rushed to their still speechless, middle aged triplet. Their mouths agape as they stared at the unmoving middle sibling.
"Buttercup!" Blossom shouted, the raven haired sister still seething and refusing to look her elder sister in the eye. "Apologize to him!"
"No."
"Why not?"
"Jesus Christ I think I'm in love." Butch interrupted, still sitting on the ground between his brothers, a clear lovesick expression on his face. Boomer chuckled and Brick smirked.
"You just got your ass handed to you and now you're in love?"
This time, Buttercup was left speechless. "W-what?" Her cheeks were slowly turning a bright pink.
Butch rushed over to Buttercup, holding his body against hers. He wrapped one arm tightly around her slim waist and rested it on her lower back while his other hand held her one free hand up, her other hand rested on his chest.
Buttercup, however, wasn't blushing because of the closeness of Butch, but because of the rather toned pectoral she could feel beneath his shirt. Loose shirts really did him no justice after all.
"I don't understand." Bubbles whispered to Blossom, who only shrugged her shoulders in response. All three sisters were confused as to why this rather brute male was confessing his love to a girl who he not only just met, but who also just threw him across the room.
And poor Buttercup. All she could do was stand there frozen, lips slightly parted, and her face getting more red with every passing second she was locked in the boy's arms. Her piercingly green eyes glanced towards her two sisters and a silent message was passed between them.
Help me!
Bubbles attempted to tug Buttercup out of Butch's grasp, but the green eyed male was just too strong. "Blossom, I'm gonna need some reinforcement!" Her voice was slightly higher than usual as she struggled with Butch's hold on Buttercup.
Blossom wrapped her arms around Butch's waist while her blue eyed sisters did the same with Buttercup. "On my count, pull!" Blossom counted off and the two sisters tugged on their respective person only to find that neither budged an inch.
"It's not going to work." Brick interrupted, grabbing everyone's attention. All except Butch, who was still holding firmly onto Buttercup and attempting to stare into her eyes – lovesick expression still in place. Brick took the moment of silence to continue. "Butch is unbearably strong and also unbearably stubborn. It looks like Buttercup's determination to release herself from his hold grabbed his attention, but when she flung him across the room, you also grabbed his heart." He turned to Buttercup, who blew a strand of hair out of her face in response.
"That was fuckin' lame." She mumbled, still trying to break herself loose.
"Well, as lame as it may be, no one has ever been able to deter Butch from his spot, wherever that is." Brick nodded to Boomer. Boomer moved towards his lovesick brother and tugged on his hair. For any other person, the tugging of someone's hair would basically force the head to move with the flow; in Butch's case, it didn't. Boomer clearly tugged on a patch raven hair, but Butch didn't move an inch. "So, the fact that you were even able to move him a little bit was impressive and –"
"Totally hot." Butch mumbled, attempting to close the space between his lips and Buttercup's.
A small noise escaped the middle sister, showing her discomfort, but she had finally managed to push Butch away from her body, making the boy release his hold on her.
Good for her.
Irritating for him.
While Butch enjoyed that he finally has someone who can match his strength, he can see how it will be a struggle in the future. This girl would be able to free herself of his holds and she could ultimately harm him if she wanted to. Not that he minded though. Butch liked a little pain from time to time.
Some would say that's his kink.
Buttercup's cheeks were still dusted pink and she refused to make eye contact with anyone, she mumbled something before lifting into the air and jetting off down the hallway, towards her room.
Butch sat on the ground, watching as her lime green streak faded out. Blossom and Bubbles stood confused, glancing between each other and their new found counterparts. "What'd she say?" was tossed between the four super powered teenagers while Butch let Buttercup's words bounce around in his head.
What was incoherent to them was extremely clear Butch:
"At least ask me out on a fucking date first."
