Don't Fall For Me.

Chapter Twelve.

Xxx

It was a fine Sunday afternoon that Butch felt his eyes open; he blinked and turned away from the light. As he turned to his other side, he spotted Buttercup cling unto him like a puppy. She had her hands lay softly beside her ear and her legs were folded like a cat's. Butch looked at that sight. He smiled as he gently touched her hair, remembering what had happened last night. He didn't want to get up. He had that feeling of not wanting to leave Buttercup's side.

It was then that he saw the two blondes, up and about, headed their way towards the kitchen. He could tell Bubbles was going to cook breakfast or so with Boomer assisting him, of course. Butch's eyes wandered off to the ceiling. He was thinking so hard why he was feeling that way about Buttercup. She was just some girl whom he met a few days ago, she was just some weird girl who auditioned for his band and pretended to be a guy, she was just some girl whom he could freely express himself with. She was just a girl—Why was it so hard for him then?

Butch could feel a slight movement next to his shoulders. He turned quickly as he saw Buttercup, with her eyes slowly opening. Butch watched it all as she could recognize him. She looked at him with those bright green eyes as he showed a small smile to her.

"Good Morning, Buttercake." He said, giving her a new nickname.

Buttercup rubbed her eyes, hopping this was all a dream. But it wasn't—Butch was really there, lying beside her, greeting her with a smile on his face. She couldn't believe it at all.

She let out a small 'eep' before realizing it really was real. She jumped from Butch's grip and had her eyes wide open. Butch could see the small tint of red that appeared across her face. Wow, to think that, she of all people, was blushing? Butch chuckled as Buttercup let out a small grunt and looked away from him.

"Buttercup, you awake? Good Morning!" She heard her sister cry out, smiling ever so brightly with Boomer by her side. She could see the two were getting along great. She stood up and went towards to Bubbles and see what was up.

As Butch got up, Brick hit the door to his face. He found himself lying on the futon again. He got up a second time and this time, he was holding his nose and looking angrily at Brick who was smiling so casually at everyone.

"Good Morning, Bro!" Boomer greeted, he seemed like he had a good night sleep.

Brick waved in return, looking at Butch who was still firing deadly stares at him for hitting him with the door.

"I assume all of you had a fun night last night, no?" He asked, taking a bite of an apple. "Oh yes! We did, I slept like a cat." Bubbles purred, she prepared breakfast fast enough. Boomer coughed, blushing lightly as he saw Bubbles sleep last night. Brick quickly knew really does like her.

Just as Butch got up a second time and headed towards Brick, Buttercup stepped back, moving in closer to Bubbles. He had this confused look on him, thinking that Buttercup was somehow avoiding him now. He hit Brick in the head and pinched his cheek, giving him an I-know-what-you-did look.

Just as Bubbles was about to finish off the dining table, her cell phone furiously vibrated in her pocket. She got it by surprise and saw a text message from an unknown number. She starred at it for a while, thinking who could it have been.

As she flipped it, her eyes were grew.

I am at the airport right now. I shall be staying at a nearby hotel and will be coming to meet you tomorrow. Please be ready for whatever happens tomorrow, I assume Professor Utonium has already said the details.

-Drake.

Bubbles' vision became a blur. She couldn't believe what she was reading. Should she tell Buttercup? She looked at her sister, who was trying to eat the bacon Butch just grabbed. She looked, happy.

But she didn't have any other choice.

She tugged Buttercup by the sleeve and had this worried look. Buttercup could sense something bad is going to happen. She followed Bubbles' lips as she silently said 'Drake.' To which Buttercup lost that good mood she was having.

As soon as breakfast ended, the two girls fled the building fast without the boys even noticing. Buttercup was lost in her thoughts as Bubbles interrupted her by tapping her on the shoulder.

"Buttercup…" She said slowly.

She eyed the blonde girl, she didn't know what to do now after Bubbles showed her what Drake had sent. She was shivering about the thought of meeting the guy. She felt sick.

Back at the condo, the boys were joyously cleaning up after the girls left. Butch's head was still in the stars, starring outside the window. Brick could tell he was thinking about Buttercup and how he already misses her. But knowing Butch, he wouldn't say such things like, "I miss her." Because after getting that scar from Karin, he wouldn't think of Butch falling over for someone else. He would, but it would take years for Butch to admit it himself.

"You like her." Brick started, Butch's eyes met his. He wasn't angry, mad or even in denial. He just stood there like a rock. Brick snapped his fingers in front of him. Butch got startled and fell over the couch. He hit his head hard.

"See. That's what you get for being so lovestruck, Butch Jojo."

"I am not lovestruck, Brick Jojo."

"Nice try, but I can see everything in your eyes." He scoffed off.

"Uhm guys." A lost Boomer cried, with his two brothers looking at him. He walked closer to his brothers and started talking.

"Did you know? Bubbles had this message on her phone, it was from an unknown number. But in the message, it had the name 'Drake' written." He said.

The two boys were confused.

"Do you not get what I'm saying here?" Boomer added.

"The message was about this Drake guy coming and meeting the girls." He explained.

Butch was now back to reality. He stood straight and had this look on his face like he was going to murder someone. Brick looked at Boomer. "How'd you know? Saw Bubbles' phone while she we were eating breakfast, didn't you?"

"Y-Yeah."

"You shameless brother of mine. You're beginning to be manly!"

"I guess I'll take that as a compliment."

The Next Day—

Buttercup's apartment.

9:34 am

The two girls got the house ready, clean and spotless. Buttercup dressed comfortably with her black sneakers and black jacket. She was wearing a white tank top underneath with a white knee-length frilly skirt. Bubbles was the one who recommended the skirt, too.

She sat there nervously, waiting for this Drake guy to show up. She was either thinking of kicking his butt or meeting him nicely. She didn't know what to do. Bubbles prepared chocolate-chip cookies and had a baseball bat in hand, she was ready to kick this guy's butt as well.

As soon as the doorbell rang, Buttercup's heart skipped louder and faster, she looked at Bubbles as she opened the door. To their surprise though, it was Butch. He was standing there, meeting Buttercup's gaze. She let out a sigh upon seeing the boy, she was so glad it was just him.

Butch sat comfortably near Buttercup. He looked at her from head to toe and thought that she simply looked… amazing. Beautifully amazing. She was wearing a skirt, too.

The door opened as Bubbles was looking at the two, smiling and giggling about how they looked so cute together. The young blonde looked at the door and bit her lip as she saw a tall guy standing there. He was wearing a fine suit and had his hair tucked in the back. He had small, tinted eyes and really pale skin. From a girl's point of view, he was really handsome and attractive. Bubbles eyes grew. The enemy had entered.
