This greens fic is for RRB Butch Lover. Took me awhile to think of this, so I hope you enjoy.


YO-YO

Buttercup grumbled impatiently as she rewound the string. When finished, she looped it around her finger and let the spherical object drop in a show of spinning and flashing green lights. When it neared the end of its string she attempted to snap it back up, but it simply dangled where it was.

''Dammit!''

She heard a snort, and glared at the boy who'd just walked into the living room, munching on a sandwich he'd stolen from the refrigerator.

''Oh, you think you can do better?'' She bated. There was no way somebody as bullheaded as Butch could possibly have the skill it took to master the yo-yo if she couldn't do it.

Swallowing the rest of his sandwich in one gulp he dusted the crumbs from his hands and held out a hand for the toy.

With a scowl she tossed it to him and he caught it effortlessly, then began winding it. ''Watch the pro,'' he said cockily. Buttercup crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow, obviously not impressed.

Her eyes widened when Butch allowed the yo-yo to roll down the string from his finger, green lights flashing to life, then snapped it back up expertly. He then proceeded to to do a series of what looked to Buttercup impossible feats.

A couple included wrapping the string around his leg before pulling the yo-yo back to his palm, and letting it roll against the floor in an imitation of walking a dog.

''How are you doing that?'' She asked, a bit of awe seeping into her voice.

Butch smirked, handing her the yo-yo. When she adjusted the loop to fit her slim finger again he stood behind her. Her breath hitched when he pulled her flush against him.

He took her wrist in his hand carefully, leaning his chin on her shoulder to see around her head. His cheek pressed lightly to hers, which was slightly warm against his own.

Butch snickered inwardly, only because if he did it outwardly he'd receive a beating for his trouble.

''It's all in the wrist,'' he murmured huskily into her ear, and smiled secretively when he felt her shiver in response. On his command she let the yo-yo roll down the string, the toy lighting up once again. Butch flicked her wrist in is hold and it came back up with a snap.

Not expecting this, Buttercup fumbled to catch it. She failed, the toy falling back down and bobbing when it reached the end of its string.

''It also takes alot of practice too.'' Butch stated, releasing her and backing up a few steps.

Buttercup inhaled deeply to regain her composure, then turned around to face him, cheeks still barely pink. ''Since when did you have the patience to learn something like this?''

Butch shrugged, frowning lightly. ''Boomer made me learn it. You should see him with one of those things. It's practically a weapon in his hands. I had to learn it just to defend myself.'' He shook his head at the memory, rubbing his arm in reminiscence of a yo-yo shaped bruise.


Yeah, that last bit was kind of a spoiler for my next multi-chapter story which should be coming out toward the end of the year. Boomer with a yo-yo is funny to me. ^_^ Next is a reds fic!

Also, fair warning, at some point this week there will be a BoomerxBlossom fic because someone requested it. Just making sure you're all aware so nobody gets mad I didn't tell them. :)

Oh, and to Bamonlove4ever, I'm really happy you enjoyed your request! ^_^
