Chapter Thirteen.

Drake.

"Drake Givens."

The two greens looked at the guy, he was starring so intently at Butch who was eyeing him, most likely glaring at him. Buttercup grab a hold of Butch by the end of his sleeve, telling him to stop gnarling at the guy.

Bubbles served the cookies and looked at Drake, immediately with the bat on her hand.

"So, what brings you here, Mr. Givens?" she cheerfully asked, but with bloodlust in those blue misty eyes. Drake looked at her, almost expressionless.

"Please keep away that bat, miss. I come in peace." He answered with Bubbles slowly putting the bat away.

"I am here because of your father's request. Just for you to know, I am not here to fulfill that said request."

All three of their eyes widened. "W-what?" Buttercup asked.

"I am also not in favor of this whole marriage thing. I came here to tell you that."

Buttercup let out a small sight. She was so relieved.

"But, coming all the way here just to say that? Are you sure?" Bubbles asked, having second thoughts about this guy.

"Yes. Because the Professor has said that I should stay with you for a couple of weeks. I do intend to stay here for a couple of weeks but the marriage thing is kind of, out of my interest." He explained.

Butch didn't look relieved though, he was clenching his fist hard enough to make a sound. Buttercup noticed this and held his hand, luckily, he seemed to have calmed down after looking at Buttercup.

The young Drake stood and headed towards the door, calming Buttercup down and leaving Butch glaring the boy's retreating back.

With the door close, Buttercup sighed, holding Butch's hand. She looked at Bubbles who was staring at her hand. With just that buttercup quickly realizes she was holding Butch's hand.

"Ah." Buttercup began.

"What?"

"Your hand. Well. Sorry."

"Don't. You were nervous back there, right? It's only fair you have to hold my hand."

"B-but."

"Tighter."

Buttercup blushed. Her eyes were now directly on Butch's. She could feel his hand, his warm and big hand that was tightly held around her's. She couldn't believe it. She was feeling all better now. She couldn't stop blushing and smiling either.

"Break it up you two." A sudden voice came from the door.

Bubbles, Buttercup and Butch look to see Blossom, back and furious. She was carrying a big pink backpack and had a stern look on her face that was actually saying 'this is war'.

"Blossom?"

"Why are you here?"

"Why? Because this is war! I'm here to protect Buttercup!"

"Ohh~ Why? When Butch is already here." Bubbles said. With the two greens looking away at each other, constantly lighting red.

Blossom looked at her bubbly sister who was smiling ever so brightly. She turned her eyes on the two, who were bowing their heads, hiding their furious blush. Blossom could figure out the situation perfectly.

"Hey." Blossom said.

"W-what?" Butch replied.

"I want to see Brick."

And with that, they all left for the boys' house.

"Do you think Butch sill be back any time soon?" Boomer asked, ironing his brothers' clothes with Brick on the couch, watching TV.

"Dunno. Maybe. He went to see Buttercup, didn't he?"

"Really? Boy, He really has changed."

"Change? Maybe. At least he's over Karin."

"Yeah."

"BRIIIIIIIIIIIICK."

A large thump was heard at the door. Blossom kicked it real hard for it to break that much. The two boys were starring blankly at the auburn-haired girl who was looking all-fierce. Behind her were Buttercup, Butch and Bubbles. Buttercup let out a small 'hello' as Bubbles was smiling at the two.

"We need to talk." Blossom started.

Brick looked at the girl. He eyes her from head to toe and drank his can of beer. He also peeped at the two greens that were holding each other's hands. He could see what had happened.

Brick and Blossom were all alone at the living room. Everyone else was in the bedroom. Blossom glared at Brick, with a soft smile and his hands behind his head. She could tell he liked the atmosphere, he liked what was happening and he really liked being alone with her.

"What's with that obnoxious smile? Can't you figure out the situation?"

"I can. It's just that, I'm having fun at what's happening."

"You bastard."

"Did I ever tell you that your angry expression and you cussing is really sexy?"

"Pervert. Go to hell."

"Easy. I'm on your side. I already know what's happening."

"And?"

"We can rest assure that Drake isn't going to do anything."

"What?"

"Butch told me. He said he wasn't planning on marrying Buttercup. But something tells me you're still worried about that guy sneaking off to hurt Buttercup and steal her away when you're not looking. Well, I can tell you this. He's a man of his word. You should get along with him while you still can."

"Just… what are you saying?"

"I checked on the guy's background. He's the kind of guy who doesn't lie. He's business-minded and doesn't get into relationships that much."

"Brick…"

"I know. You're welcome."

"I didn't mean that."

Meanwhile.

"Buttercup. You okay?" a worried Bubbles patted her sister's back, hoping she'll respond with a smile. But she didn't. She was still sad. Which made Bubbles even sadder.

The two boys were on the other bed. Butch was starring at Buttercup and Boomer was looking blankly at the ceiling.

Blossom came in, with a more worried look. She called for Boomer and Bubbles. The two looked at the girl in front of the door and came running outside. Now only Buttercup and Butch were alone in the bedroom.

"Hey."

Butch started. Buttercup wasn't facing him or moving. She kept her head buried in her knees and hands.

Butch Quietly stood and went straight for Buttercup. As he got closer, he heard her whine and sobs.

He leaned as he carefully grabbed her, tightly hugging her from behind. Buttercup's head raised and looked, revealing her tears and reddish cheeks. Butch kissed her on the forehead and hugged her more.

Just when.

Blossom came in.

"What the hell?"

The two jumped off the bed.

"I. Ah. Well."

"Butch. Explain yourself!" Blossom demanded.

The two blushed furiously as Buttercup let out a small chuckle. Butch was glad to see her smile.
