I've been internally screaming since my last update because senpai definitely noticed me

Saturday was awkward to say the least. Blossom spent most of the morning looking for her book that she didn't remember putting down only to find that Brick had rescued it when Blossom had attempted to wrench Butch away from Buttercup.

"Sorry I didn't give it to you sooner, Blossom." Brick leaned against her door frame. "I figured you guys wanted to be alone since your sister jetted off like that."

"Thank you for being considerate but we couldn't even get Buttercup to open the door." She frowned. Maybe she should check on her sister now and see if she wanted breakfast. "She just said she was tired or something. A rather lame excuse on her part, I mean, we've lived together for eighteen years, who does she think she's fooling?" Blossom was more or less talking to herself at this point rather than Brick.

He watched and she ran the brush through her hair once more, tying her long locks up with a long, red ribbon. His foot kept the door propped open as he glanced around her room. Standard sized room with the bathroom located on his right while the bedroom itself was on his left, it was a very open space. Of course, every room here was the same, nothing more and nothing less. Although everyone on this campus was extraordinary in some way, it was crucial to this school that no one was held on a higher podium than anyone else – although there were some that liked to think otherwise.

Brick shook his head and returned his attention to Blossom. "Would you like to get breakfast?"

Blossom gave a gentle smile and nodded, "Let me ask my sisters if they would like to come as well, if you don't mind." Brick smiled in response.

"Of course, I should probably see if my brothers are awake anyway." Brick turned and walked a little further down the hall – both his brothers were located on the same hall but a few more doors down.

Brick gave a single knock on Boomer's door first and waited only a few seconds before a groggy blond opened the door, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.

"What?" His voice was scratchy and he clearly was unhappy to be woken up.

He was having such a nice dream about a beautiful, blonde, pigtailed girl and was just getting to the good part before Brick showed up at his door.

"Was just seeing if you wanted to get breakfast." Brick smirked at his youngest brother.

"Yeah! I'll totally be there in a second, let me just grab my glasses!"

A cute voice had cut through the air as Boomer's eyes widened before he abruptly slammed the door in his brother's face while Brick's smirk widened. Boomer emerged seconds later looking refreshed. He nudged Brick as they walked towards Blossom. "Why didn't you say anything about Bubbles going?" Boomer whispered harshly.

"I didn't know." Brick snickered. It was true, Brick didn't know that Bubbles would be going but he did know that Blossom was at least going to ask.

The boys met with Blossom just in time to see Bubbles back out of her room and shut the door. She smiled brightly as her eyes met Boomer's. For Boomer, it was like time stood still. If he thought she was cute before, then she was absolutely adorable now.

Her hair was tied into two low pigtails that surrounded her face beautifully and she was sporting a new accessory today that Boomer internally 'awed' just looking at.

"Boomer! I didn't know you were a morning person!" Bubbles slid her rather large looking glasses up her nose with her index finger. You are so fucking cute, Boomer wanted to voice.

"Yup, I rise with the sun." He replied smoothly. In truth, Boomer wasn't a morning person at all. But he could be if the reason was worth it. And yes, Bubbles was worth it.

Brick's eyebrow rose as his brother's statement but Bubbles responded before Brick had the chance to try and catch his brother in a lie. "Oh, what a coincidence, me too! We should definitely do an early breakfast one morning, I'm pretty good at making breakfast foods, you know."

"You're good at making any type of food," Blossom's stomach growled. "I've been dreaming about Chicken Cordon Bleu for the past month."

Bubbles' giggled. "It's a little weird that I'm so good at making meat-based dishes and I'm a vegetarian! Besides, I don't really think they will allow me access to the wine I would need for that dish."

"Vegetarian?" Brick asked.

"Oh yeah, I can talk to animals too and between you and me," Bubbles leaned closer Brick. "They don't really like to be eaten." Both boys glanced between each other wondering how many families they've torn apart with their meat-eating habits. "It's okay though; I don't scold nor force anyone into my way of thinking – to each their own. Besides, I wouldn't be able to convert BC even if I tried." She smiled softly. Boomer really admired Bubbles for that statement, she revealed herself to be an understanding person much more so than he had originally thought.

"Speaking of, let's see if she'll want to eat with us." Blossom and Bubbles hurried to their sister's door and knocked.

Boomer and Brick lingered behind to check on their other brother. The boys gave one loud knock on the door just adjacent to the door where the two girls currently were. The one knock was a code between the brothers that meant that instead of there being an instructor or student looking for them; it was just one of the male triplets, if not two.

The boys heard a loud thud and a few curses as the door flew open. Butch, not even bothering to wear anything more than just his boxers, glared at his brothers, only quirking a brow.

Brick and Boomer both opted out of responding just as they heard a rather grumpy "What?!" come from the hallway across from them. All three brothers turned their attention to the triplets across the hall.

"Come to breakfast with us!" Bubbles pleaded.

"No."

"Wouldn't it be nice to see the campus a little bit?" Blossom tried.

"I could see it some other time that isn't nine in the fucking morning."

"You always preached to us that breakfast was the most important meal of the day!" Bubbles attempted.

"I also preached that I love sleep more than I love you."

Bubbles gave a small 'hmph'. "Well now that's just mean."

Butch watched as Buttercup pinched the bridge of her nose and took a deep breath. "If it's before noon then I don't give a fuuuuck." He snorted which caused all three female triplets to look over. Buttercup's eyes met with Butch's and she immediately shut the door.

Well if that didn't make Butch feel like shit.

"Buttercup," Bubbles knocked on the door. "That was rude!" Her sisters continued to knock and pound on her door while Brick and Boomer returned their attention to Butch.

"Seems like you may have upset her," Brick noted. Boomer nodded in agreement.

"Leave it to Butch to make a brash decision and push away the only person to ever fling him across the room."

"Actually," Blossom piped up, walking towards the males. "You didn't upset her." This caught the boy's attention as the girls stood beside their counterparts. "She just might be a little embarrassed. We might not have had a lot of contact with people, but we can understand what BC is feeling."

"Oh yeah!" Bubbles nodded, throwing an arm around her sister. "She's totally into you, we just know it!" Blossom finally registered the state of the raven haired boy that was in front of her.

Her hand flew over Bubbles' eyes and she averted her own. "B-but we'll talk about that another time! When you aren't, err, well, naked."

Bubbles gave a shy giggle, turned, and side stepped behind Boomer, clutching onto his shirt. "That's a little embarrassing." Boomer stiffened a bit at the contact but wanted nothing more than to turn and protect the girl from his near-naked brother.

"I think it's time we go and eat," Boomer reached behind and grabbed one of Bubbles' hand, holding it gently. "See you, Butch." He called over his shoulder as he led the small blonde away.

"No, wait, hold up!" Butch called, disappearing into his room and reemerging with one arm through his shirt and the other reaching to put on his shoe. "I've got more questions about that feisty sister of yours!"

Butch caught up with Bubbles and Boomer, walking in front of Blossom and Brick, and glanced between the two girls.

"So you're saying she's into me?"
