Kenny wandered through the woods tiredly, with Butters at his side. They traveled along the dirt path in the ground in search of forgotten garbage.

"This is such bullshit... being forced to spend my entire Saturday looking for trash in the woods," Kenny mumbled to himself, picking up a discarded soda can near his feet.

"Come on, Kenny! It won't be all bad!" Butters said, elbowing the other blonde, attempting to lighten the mood.

To Butters, it wouldn't be bad at all. He secretly enjoyed spending time with Kenny, though he didn't plan on letting him know any time soon.

He wasn't sure exactly what it was that drew him towards Kenny, but Butters just couldn't help it. Perhaps it was because everyone else always seemed to take advantage of him, but never Kenny. Ever since they were kids, Butters held a secret admiration for Kenny that he just couldn't stop from growing into a fully blown crush over the years.

Sure, it was stupid and never going to happen... Butters knew that. Kenny lived a completely different lifestyle from him, one filled with sex, drugs, and breaking just about every rule. Butters, on the other hand, lived an oh-so-exciting life filled with homework, chores, repeatedly getting grounded, and of course some occasional time reserved for his absolute favorite site on the internet. Hello Kitty Island Adventure.

Butters decided that today was going to be different. He was going to break out of his mundane routine. He had the whole day to spend with Kenny, and he was going to finally tell him how he really felt. The blonde gathered up enough courage and decided that when the time was right, he would let his secret be known... no matter how nervous it made him just thinking about it.

"There is no way I'm wasting my whole day doing this." Kenny stated, throwing yet another empty cheesy poofs bag into his black garbage bag.

Butters thought of ways in his head to tell Kenny how he felt about him. Kenny, I... no. I know this is crazy, but... no. Kenny...

"Dude, where did the trail go?" Kenny asked, looking down at the grassy land beneath him.

Butters jumped, snapping back into reality. "I-I have no idea," his eyes widened as he looked down as well, realizing that the path wasn't anywhere in sight.

"Fucking great," Kenny shouted out, searching all around him for a sign of the path, "we're lost."

Butters nervously paced back and forth, "I'm definitely getting grounded for this!"

"Butters, calm down. What direction did we come from?" Kenny replied, placing his hands on Butters shoulders, trying to get him to stand still and focus.

"Uhh... uh." Butters froze, locking eyes with Kenny, completely losing his train of thought. He was mesmerized by those two deep blue eyes, staring right at him. His eyes trailed down to the two strong hands placed on his shoulders, sending butterflies to his stomach. Was this really happening?

"Dude!" Kenny let go of his grip on Butters, trying to retrace his steps. "We came from this way, right?" Kenny asked impatiently, walking back in the direction they were coming from. "And then we turned over here, right? Or was it over there?"

Butters blinked, returning to reality. "I don't know. I... I wasn't paying attention."

"Dammit, we can't be lost! How are we ever going to get out of here?" Kenny placed his hands on top of his head in frustration. I didn't even want to be here to begin with, now I'm STUCK here?

"W-well the woods aren't that big, right? There has to be some way out." Butters replied nervously. He couldn't help but feel guilty for Kenny being mad. If only he paid attention to where they were going, they would never have gotten lost.

Before Kenny was able to reply, both boys heard a loud rustling in the trees behind them. Kenny and Butters immediately turned around, hoping to see what it was. They looked around in curiosity, but neither of them saw anything.

"Wh-what was that?" Butters asked, beginning to shake.

"Probably a fucking squirrel or something, come on. We need to find a way out."

Butters nodded, trying to hide the fact that he was still scared out of his mind. He knew that a squirrel wouldn't be that loud. It had to be something else. Again, he looked around, searching for some kind of clue to what could have made that noise.

Kenny, already ahead of Butters, turned around and placed his hands inside the pocket of his sweatshirt. He raised his brow as a smirk grew on his face. "You're not really scared of a little squirrel, are you?"

Butters swallowed, trying to make his fear a little less apparent. "No..."

"Then are you just gonna stand there all day or what? Come on!"

Butters hurried to catch up with the taller blonde, hoping that whatever had made the noise was long gone. It probably wasn't even anything, he told himself. Just a cute little animal, I bet. Butters knew deep down that he really was still scared, but he tried to put on a brave face in front of Kenny.

Butters approached Kenny's side, nervously playing with his hands. "How do you even know it was a squirrel? What if it was... I don't know, a bear or something?"

Kenny laughed, "Because, if it was a bear, don't you think we'd be dead by now?"

A/N: Blah I was really sick when I wrote this... :(

I might actually try to write another chapter today since I'm home sick with nothing to do but write fanfics and watch south park reruns.

Thank you for reading! Please let me know what you think! :)

Next (and possibly last) chapter will be up (hopefully) soon!
