This greens fic is for 30secondstomarsfan101. I don't feel like I put as much thought into it as I usually do, but enjoy it if you can.


CONCERT

Buttercup was unhappy. She hated concerts because they were filled with large crowds and she liked her personal space. She scowled and grumbled under her breath when somebody bumped into her. She turned an accusing look to her sister.

The blonde noticed her stare and shrugged lightheartedly. ''Try to have some fun, Buttercup. Don't be so grumpy,'' Bubbles chirped. ''Even Blossom is having a good time.'' She gestured somewhere off in the crowd where their redheaded sister was dancing with her counterpart, laughing and smiling brightly; definitely rare for their leader.

''Yeah, well, I don't like these things. There's too many people.''

Bubbles pouted, then brightened when she spotted something over Buttercup's shoulder. ''Be right back,'' she said, bouncing off.

Buttercup sighed once she was left alone...or alone as she could be with a bunch of teenagers bumping and grinding around her. She really hated concerts.

She glanced around absently, briefly spotting Boomer near the stage with his guitar ready. She wondered why Bubbles hadn't already gone to greet him.

''You look completely out of your element,'' came the cocky comment. She turned around, mildly surprised to see the green Ruff standing behind her, but frowned when she caught sight of Bubbles trying to sneak off without her noticing. Always meddling, that one.

She turned her attention back to the male infront of her when he grabbed her wrist and began dragging her through the crowd. Her eyebrows furrowed in annoyance but she didn't protest his manhandling.

The music died around them as the next song began to play, and Buttercup recognized Boomer's voice as he began singing Give Me Everything by Ne-yo.

Butch finally stopped when they were on the very edge of the crowd, of which was too busy dancing and singing along with Boomer to pay any attention to them.

Her eyes widened when he pulled her against his chest, his arms finding there way around her waist. She gave him a disbelieving look as she placed her palms against his chest, as if ready to push him away at the slightest provocation.

The song was perfect for both slow and fast dancing, and Butch seemed to prefer the former despite the fact that he knew his partner disliked dancing of any kind. He began to simply move them to the music until Buttercup relaxed and lightly rested her hands on his shoulders, though she still frowned.

''You really don't like concerts, do you?''

''No,'' she practically hissed. However, her expression softened as she stared at him quietly for several seconds. ''But I'll tolerate them for now.''

He smirked at her answer.


I've realized that I can't write greens very well. They're very difficult because their personalities are so headstrong and violent that putting them in a romantic setting feels like they're almost out of character. This is why I haven't written any long fics for them like I have for Reds and Blues. I think I should study their characters a bit more...

To AmuletSpade, I unfortunately can't do an AcexButtercup fic for Idiosyncrasy because the series is only for different combinations of RrB/PpG. However, I would be happy to take this request as a separate oneshot for you, like I'm doiing for 1000GreenSun. It might take a while though, because I'm busy with th next chapters of For Lost Years and will be going on vacation after this Friday. Do you have a specific promt in mind for the pairing?
