Chapter 14 - Butchy Boy and Butterbitch
Last Chapter - Blossom and Brick made up. Butch and Buttercup met an Australian boy who seemed to think they were dating, and Maxine told Tyler that they are related, ending with him storming out.
"Butch..."
"Butch!"
"BUTCHY BOY!"
His eyes rolled open to see Buttercup smirking down at him. His eyes squinted before shutting again. Butch pulled his covers over his head, in an attempt to sleep again. He suddenly felt a sharp throbbing pain in his right leg as Buttercup kicked it.
"Ah, that hurt!" He snarled.
Buttercup smiled in content. "It was ment to. Now get up, we have training."
Butch sat up straight and took a good look at Buttercup. She had on a pair of black shorts, a green short-sleeved shirt and a pair of black converse. Her hair was up in a messy ponny-tail, a couple of strands of hair falling to highlight her face. He found himself staring, and shook his head before looking away.
"Get dressed." Buttercup commanded, throwing him some clothes. "I'm gonna go to the common room and see Brandon. Don't be late, it'll look bad on me too."
Butch sniggered and stood up. Buttercup smiled at him before walking out. It was refreshing to see a smile from the raven-haired girl instead of a playful smirk. He was starting to enjoy their little love/hate friendship.
Buttercup strolled into the common room and saw Brandon sitting alone. She marched over and sat down on the seat beside him. Buttercup beamed at him joyfully, which he returned.
"G'day, Buttercup."
"Hey." She spoke. "So, what are we doing in training today?" She asked him curiously.
"I heard Coach R mention something about defence." Brandon replied, shrugging. Buttercup grinned at him, obviously pleased with the choice.
"Cool. Can't wait to beat up Butch again." She and Brandon chuckled at her remark.
"Too right. Should be fun to watch." He laughed.
As if on cue, Butch strolled through the door, fully dressed and awake. He looked around until he set eyes on Buttercup and Brandon. He walked over to them and sat down beside Buttercup.
"Hey." Butch greeted.
"A'right, mate?" Brandon smiled. "We we're just chatting about how our girlie here is gonna thrash you in training." Butch gave Buttercup an annoyed look, and she returned a delighted smirk.
"We'll see about that." Butch stuck his tongue out like a five year old.
The three teens turned their heads as Coach Radley walked into the common room, followed by two tall men. The men were dressed in expensive looking suits. Buttercup's eyes suddenly grew wide with excitement as she guessed these men were scouts, and came to watch them fight. These were the people who could decided their futures in boxing, and decided if they would come back here for a semester.
"Hello, I would like you all to meet this year's scouts." Radley smiled. "Mr David, and Mr Kelly. They will be watching you train today and tomorrow, so keep up the good work!"
Butch and Buttercup stared at the scouts with blank faces, trying to contain their eagerness. They were suddenly motivated to do better than usual, although Brandon just looked bored, like he wasn't all that excited.
"You're defiantly going down now, Butchy boy." Buttercup said with stars in her eyes, still watching the scouts.
Butch smirked. "Sure you will."
Buttercup smirked back and looked over at Brandon, who was narrowing his eyes at the wall. It looked like he was daydreaming. Everyone was getting ready for training, but he didn't realise that. Buttercup tried to get his attention, but it didn't seem to work.
"Brandon? Hello, earth to blonde boy!?" Buttercup waved her hand in front of his face. Brandon pulled himself out of his daydream and glared at Buttercup.
"Sorry, I was away with the fairies."
"Training is starting, c'mon!" Buttercup said as she stood up. The boys stood up with her, ready to show off their skill. Butch stretched his arms, praying to god that he would do a good job today. They only had two days left to prove that they were the best, and they had spent the last one arguing.
"Good luck, you're gonna need it-" Brandon said, making Butch smirk. "-Butch."
Buttercup burst out laughing, as Butch thought that the Australian boy was saying that Buttercup would need luck. Butch wasn't very amused, instead he was giving Brandon evil death glares. The blonde chuckled before walking over to his partner.
"You're going down." Butch said to his partner.
Buttercup's eyes rolled. "Oh shut up, you're starting to sound like-"
"Brick!"
Blossom giggled as Brick tackled her on the couch, tickling her like there was no tomorrow. She was trying to push him away but he was stronger, and attacked her stomach once again. What was once a cute giggle was now heaps of laughter. Brick laughed along with her, grinning like an idiot.
"This isn't f-funny, stop!" She stuttered out, trying to stop laughing so hard.
She turned herself away from him, so her back was at him, trying to guard herself. Brick turned her back over and started again, taking a moment to realise how beautiful and musical her laugh was.
"B-Brick! Seriously!" She smiled up at him, batting her eyes so he would do as she said.
Brick smiled back and fell down beside her on the couch, breathing as he was tired out. Blossom turned to face him, her hands resting on his muscular chest. She studied his face, as he did her. Brick leaned his face down, kissing her on the lips. Blossom smiled against his lips, excited, and kissed back.
She placed her hand on his neck and deepened the kiss.
Finally the two pulled away and lay back down on the couch. Blossom smiled to herself, snuggling into his chest. She was so happy that Brick was now open with her, and said that she was his girlfriend. He was finally ready to commit to someone, and it was all thanks to her.
"That was mean." Blossom said, closing her eyes as she rested her head on his chest. Brick smiled and stroked her long hair. He chuckled at her remark.
"You were annoying me, so I annoyed you back. Two-way street, Blossy." Blossom's eyes rolled but a small smile still fell on her face. She looked up at him with a playfully grin on her lips before sitting up.
"Fine then, pay back time!" She said before tackling him and tickling him. He chuckled uncontrollably as she tickled his stomach and ribs. She laughed along with him as she watched his face go red.
"You're so gonna pay for that!" Brick said laughing as he spun them over.
"Wait!"
Tyler's eyes rolled as he came face to face with Maxine Slater. She had chased him as he was on his way home. He noticed how desperately she wanted to talk to him, which was weird because usually she tried to avoid him as much as she could.
"What is it you want, Max?" He asked impatiently.
Maxine frowned slightly. "I just want us to find some sort of common ground. I get it, we hate each other, but we have to work past that. I'm your sister, Ty!"
Tyler grimaced. "You're not my sister. We didn't grow up together, no one wanted you in our family, don't you get that Maxine!?" He screamed.
Maxine glared at him in amazement at what he had just said. She was so numb with grief and shock. As soon as Tyler saw the look on her face, he immediately regretted his choice of words.
"I'm sorry, that was un-called for." He apologized.
Maxine scowled. "No, you're right, Ty. No one wants me."
He watched her storm off, holding back the tears that desperately wanted to pour. Tyler thought about chasing after her but assumed she wanted to be alone anyway. He cursed and threw his head back.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
Tyler's head whipped around to see his girlfriend, glaring. She looked angry about the fact that he had managed to keep this a secret from her. She crossed her arms, waiting for an explanation.
"Sorry, love." He walked closer to her. "I only just found out yesterday."
Bubbles scoffed. "So? You still should have trusted me enough to tell me. Maxine is one of my closest friends in this town, and you're treating her like this? She's your sister!"
Even hearing the words come from Bubbles, it still felt weird. She was his sister. The girl that he always made fun off, annoyed and got into trouble at school. She was related to him? It was just..so weird.
"I know she is, but that doesn't change the fact that we hate each other, Bubbles." Tyler spoke.
Bubbles gave him the coldest look she'd even given. "Well, it should! Your little sister should mean more to you than some stupid feud between the two of you!"
With that said, Bubbles stormed off. Tyler watched her go with sad eyes, thinking her words over in his head. Mabey she had a point, mabey he should treat her like family, after all she just found out she didn't really have one.
He walked home, thinking about all the times he had spent with his sister.
"Are those two okay?" A short blonde girl asked.
Brandon smiled. "Yeah, they're just expressing some unresolved tension, if you know what I mean." The blonde girl, also known as Carrie, giggled and nodded at the Australian. They watched as Butch went flying across the room, with an angry Buttercup ready to attack again.
Without any warning, Butch sprung forward. He raised his knee and hit Buttercup in the stomach. She groaned in pain and recovered quickly, sending a punch to his chest. Butch let loose two punches towards Buttercup's torso. She backed up a little and sent a flying kick towards his face.
Butch suddenly felt dizzy, letting the throbbing pain take over. He noticed that Mr Kelly, one of the scouts, was watching them with interest. He quickly got back to realtiy and punched Buttercup twice in the stomach, successfully winding her. She could barley stand up from being winded, but that didn't stop Butch punching her stomach again and kicking her in the face. Buttercup moaned and fell to the ground, clutching her stomach.
"Butters." Brandon called out before running over and helping his friend up, not even caring that the scouts would not be imprest about him leaving his own fight. Butch looked at Buttercup with shocked eyes.
"Sorry, I took it too far." Butch apologized, helping Brandon lift her back up.
Buttercup pushed him away. "I'm fine, I don't need you two helping me up."
Mr Kelly walked over with Coach Radley at his side. Radley told Brandon to go check Buttercup for bruising and to bandage her up, leaving them with Butch.
"I was impressed by your skill and passion." Mr Kelly smiled. "You seem to have a lot of talent, I'm sure we could find some career for you in the future."
Butch had stars in his eyes, grinning uncontrollabley. At that minute he forgot about anything else, and all he could see was Mr Kelly, smiling at him. Butch was so relieved.
"Thank-you." He paused. "What about Buttercup?"
"She's a brilliant fighter also, but the fact that she couldn't finish the fight was upsetting. I'm sure she'll prove herself tomorrow, hopefully."
Butch frowned. He was trying so hard to look good he didn't even realise he was making Buttercup look bad. He felt as though he needed to make it right, but how?
"So, you're telling me that..Maxine is TJ's sister?"
Bubbles nodded, watching Boomer's expression carefully. He furrowed his brows and gazed at her in utter shock. The pair were sitting in the park, on the grass, talking. She had texted him saying that she needed his advice, as she was mad at Tyler and didn't know what to do about it.
"He's ignoring her more than ever now. She's like my closest friend, if it weren't for you, but Tyler is my boyfriend. I don't know who's side I'm supposed to take!" She cried sadly.
Boomer didn't like seeing her sad, it only made him sad.
"You shouldn't have to take anyone's side. Ty should have started being nicer to her, not the opposite." Boomer said. What he said made sence to Bubbles, but it didn't help her situation.
"I just wish he would stop being so...so.." She cried out, trying to find the right word. "Unreasonable!"
Boomer sighed. "TJ will come around. Deep down he can be really caring, and I'm sure sooner or later, he'll suck up his pride and start treating Maxine with decency."
It was wierd hearing such words come from Boomer. She remembered him as the idiot five-year old that couldn't even spell stupid. She liked the new Boomer..a lot actually.
"I don't think he will, but I hope so." Bubbles frowned, really starting to regret falling for Tyler. Boomer noticed her frown and tried to lighten the mood.
"Hey, remember that time that me, Brick and Butch crashed into Princess's car." He laughed, causing a small smile to appear on Bubbles face. Bubbles laughed with him, and lay back on the grass. Boomer did so too, lying down beside her.
"Yeah! Remember the time that I dressed up as you and hung out with your brothers?" Bubbles laughed, looking up at the clouds. Boomer laughed too, nodding.
"You really had them going for a while." He smiled at her.
She smiled back. "I'm obviously a brilliant actress."
They both looked up at the clouds and tried to contain their uncontrollable smiles.
Bubbles had her arm stretched out, pointing towards Boomer. She could feel his hand closer to her, and her own instinct kicked in, making her hand move closer to his. He furrowed his brows as he turned to face her, noticing that their hands were now entwined together.
She turned her head to face him too. They both looked at their hands and then back at each other, confused on why they were doing this. Bubbles had noticed that neither one dared to move their hands either.
"..Boomer, can I ask you something?" She said in a quiet voice.
"Yeah." He replied awkwardly, but enjoying the fact that they were holding hands.
Bubbles fixed her eyes on his. "Do you still have feelings for me?"
It wasn't an odd question, after all they were freaking holding hands at the minute. He didn't know whether he should lie and say no, or admit that it was getting harder to get over her. Either way it wouldn't make him happy to say.
"Yes." He looked away. "I'm trying to get rid of them thought, don't worry they'll be completely gone soon."
Boomer noticed Bubbles sit up and move closer to him. He glanced at her, confused at what she was doing. Bubbles moved even closer to Boomer, a blank expression on her face.
"What's the rush?" She asked, still moving closer.
Boomer's heart skipped a beat as Bubbles' face closed in on his. She was just a second away from kissing him, when she noticed his face move back. Bubbles furrowed her brows in confusion.
"We can't." Boomer said.
Bubbles frowned. "Why not? I thought this was what you wanted?"
"It is! Just not..like this. You're only doing this because you're starting to question you're relationship with TJ, I don't want to be the rebound. You need to talk to TJ before you even think of kissing me again."
The blonde girl looked down at the ground, digesting his words. She looked back up and shook her head at him, before standing up. He followed and stood up also.
"Tyler isn't the reason for me wanting to kiss you. I just wanted to, okay? Just forget it, Boomer." She said before running off, leaving Boomer to feel like an idiot.
Did she really want to kiss him? Or was it because she wanted a way out with Tyler? Boomer didn't know what to believe anymore..
It was two in the morning, and Buttercup was trying to sleep.
Butch wasn't that interested in sleep, because sleeping on the floor hurt. A lot. He climbed into the bed with Buttercup, making sure to be quiet. Butch realised he still didn't want to sleep, he just watched her breathing in and out.
He wanted her to be awake.
Buttercup's eyes finally snapped open, not flinching as she saw Butch. She had known he was there. Butch smiled playfully as she gave him an annoyed look.
"If you value your life, you'll get off this bed, right now." Boy, she really wasn't a technically morning person.
"We have the biggest fight of our lives tomorrow, I can't risk a back injury." He points out, causing Buttercup to groan in defeat. She doesn't look to happy about it though.
"Fine, you can sleep on the bed, but if you even come a centimeter into my half, you're dead. Good night, Butchy." She whispered, snuggling into her pillow, before closing her eyes.
Butch couldn't help but notice the fact that she didn't call him Butchy Boy. No. She just called him Butchy. It was a cute nick-name, and she apparently didn't realise that she had called him it. Buttercup felt his eyes on her.
Buttercup sighed aloud as her eyes opened again, staring right into his.
"You're not going to let me sleep, are you?" She asked, annoyed.
Butch grinned. "Nope."
Buttercup stared at him for a few seconds, her eyes studying him. It's too dark to really see his face, but she still just looked into his bright but dark green eyes. She could still notice him smile in the dark.
"What do you want to talk about?" She asked.
He shrugged, now looking up at the ceiling. Buttercup exhaled deeply and sat up. Butch glanced at her, now sitting up also. Buttercup leaned over him to the table, and turned the lamp on, bringing some light into the room.
"Ow." Buttercup groaned as she leaned back over Butch. He looked at her face and saw a small but painful looking cut on her cheek. It was all thanks to him.
"Sorry about that." Buttercup shrugged.
"It happens." She smiled. "I'll get you back for it tomorrow though."
Butch laughed, then stopped. "..Are we friends now or something? Cause you tend to smile at me, which is new to me." Buttercup laughed at his remark.
"You could say that, I guess." She smiled again.
"Cool." Butch smiled back. Buttercup lay back down on the bed, shutting her eyes away from the light.
"We need to get some sleep if we want to be prepared for tomorrow." She closed her eyes.
Butch lay back down beside her, surprised that he had passed his half of the bed and was still alive. He turned off the lamp and turned to face her, smiling through the darkness.
"Night, Butterbitch."
She smiled with her eyes still closed. "Night, Butchy boy."
