Chapter 21.- strategies

Butters was nervously walking down the school hall. He couldn't believe that he dared to say that. Was Cartman right? He probably was, besides he needed a way to figure out if Kenny could love him at least a quarter of how much he loved him, that is why he was willing to try it, although he didn't felt good about it. The blonde boy nervously rubbed his knuckles together, he'd have to talk to Clyde about it, he was hoping he wouldn't get too mad because of it.

At the same time Kenny was still looking at the door through which Butters had left.

"Woooojo Kenny, I think our little Butters don't want anything to do with you."

Said Cartman, smiling, which made a certain part of his brain explode inside of Kenny who furiously got near Cartman and grabbed him threateningly by his sweater.

"What the fuck did you tell him fatass?"

"Nothing that he hadn't heard before, Kenny. I think his friends convinced him that you and him . . ."

Cartman, who until that moment had been smiling, made a disgusted face before continuing.

"That you two could never work. And I think Butters for the first time of his life is thinking well, who would have thought that the little fag was such a thinker?"

Kenny pulled his sweater more tightly and kneed him in the balls.

"Uuurrrg! Damn you poor bastard!"

Murmured the boy before falling to the ground.

"All of you guys are crazy, the fact that you can't have kids doesn't mean you can leave me without my fireman, you son of the bitch!"

Kenny wasn't even listening to him, his mind was in the other classroom and on a certain blond that had disconcerted him, why things had to turn out this way? Damn it! That damn reputation that he personally had managed to get was getting to him. Butters had told him de loved him, well actually he had screamed it while they were making love, but still he didn't think he would had lied. The most likely reason was that Cartman had said something to him. But this was just another point against him, because Butters getting away from him could be the opportunity Clyde was looking for and he could just take him away. And for the love of God that he wouldn't allow it! He entered his classroom and looked at Butters, who blushed. But he seemed to be making an effort to focus on everything but him. Kenny smile under his hood, that boy was his and nobody would take him away.

"That I do what?!"

Said Clyde in a shocked whisper looking at Butters who blushed, he just told him the plan Cartman had planned.

"We . . . Well I just wanted you to help me, I . . ."

Started to say the boy, his cheeks turning pink and rubbing his knuckles against each other with a nervous gesture. Clyde felt his hearth melt, it hurt him when he saw him so sad in the morning. And in spite of everything he wanted him to be happy. Maybe Kenny could value what Butters had to offer, after everything he had said earlier he was doubting his own thoughts about the young McCormick. He was hoping that he was wrong, because Butters seemed to really care about him. Anyhow if as he thought it was more likely Kenny didn't feel anything serious for Butters, maybe the boy could give up and turn to a friend, someone who would offer him all the love he needed and who would truly be interested in his happiness. Whatever happens this could just help him become closer to the blond and maybe get a kiss or . . . Clyde turn a deep shade of red and smiled, making Butters smile too.

"So…?"

The brown haired guy nodded.

"Very well Butters, I'll help you."

"Thank you, thank you!"

Said exited the blond, hugging him while Clyde felt himself floating over the clouds and returned the hug smiling.

Kenny, after entering the classroom, had been held out because of Kyle and Stan.

"Hi Kenny."

Said Kyle, all smiles. Kenny watched him for a moment and his eyes wandered from his arm to the hand of the red-haired guy who was holding his super best friend Stan's hand. The guy in the orange hood smiled widely.

"I guess you guys made up and now you're going to fuck each other senseless?"

"Kenny?!"

Screamed Stan, all red and wide eyed.

"Ok, ok, you haven't talk about it yet, I . . ."

He stopped talking when he saw Butters hugging Clyde, something deep inside him seemed to boil as if a fire was burning deep inside him, filling him. His eyes were throwing daggers of anger, which Stan and Kyle felt immediately and, frowning looked at where the other guy was looking.

"Wow, Butters and Clyde?"

Stan murmured.

"Hey Stan."

Said Kyle warningly, tightening the hold of his hand, Stan then watched Kenny.

"What happened?"

He asked him.

"I don't know, but something tells me that Cartman has something to do with it. Butters was a little sad this morning and we were about to work it out, but I think the fat ass told him something. Besides, that asshole Clyde thinks he can take away what is mine."

He said with anger in his voice.

"Then you admit it."

Said Kyle. Kenny, who at the time was still looking at Clyde and Butters, turned to look at the redhead.

"What?"

He asked.

"You're in love with Butters."

Said the boy matter-of-factly.

"But I already said so, I'm in lo. . . ."

The boy started to say. But when he was about to finish the phrase, he kept quiet and blushed.

"Wow, but . . .God Kenny, how come you haven't told him?"

Said Stan, frowning.

"Well I, had never been in lo . . . Well you know, and that is why I have never told anyone that I lo. . . God. Besides Butters is sooo cute that I just want to kiss him all day, just looking at him makes me so hard that . . ."

"Woooo, too much information Kenny!"

Said Kyle, blushing.

"Damn it, this stuff only happens to me."

Kenny said while he went to sit on a chair. He looked at Butters and felt his stomach shrink, he had to tell him what he felt but it was so big that he felt the emotion fill him. He'd have to do it, although first, he would love to kick Clyde's ass for been too near his blond. But he was afraid that if he did just that Butters would be mad at him. What could he do?

"Kenny, are you alright?"

"No, I'm not alright."

Answered the boy behind his hood.

"We have never seen you like this. It really hit you hard, huh?"

Said Stan, half smiling. Kenny didn't lift his head. Kyle and Stan looked at each other

"Don't worry, Kenny, we'll help you. I don't think Clyde has made a move on Butters yet."

Said the boy with the green hat.

"Like someone could forget Kenny McCormick."

Said the boy with the orange parka, half smiling."

"Well you have to prove who are you, you have to tell him what you feel for him."

Said Kyle exitedly.

"Butters is a sweet guy who really cares about other peoples feelings, so you have to prove to him that you are serious about him. Because you are serious, right?"

"Of course I'm serious!"

Said the boy with the orange parka. But after he realized the conviction with which the statement was told he feel his cheeks turning red. Why the hell he had said that? Yes, he love Butters, but who said that he wanted something serious? Why did he kid himself? He wanted something serious. Suddenly sex with anyone else seemed dull in comparison with what he had done with the blond. God, just thinking about it made him hard and vibrating with emotion. He had to make him realize he was willing to do anything for him. Cartman had made it seem like things wouldn't work out between them, but Kenny would do anything to make it work. Stan and Kyle smiled. At that moment he saw Clyde grab one of the blonde's hands and caress it tenderly smiling at him. Butters was a little pink in the cheeks and was smiling at him too.

"What if I just kick Clyde's ass?"

He asked his friends, who just give him a look that made him sigh.

"Yes, I know it would make me look bad. But one can dream right?"

Said the boy, giving a one-sided smile.

"Very well, let's establish a plan. First we have to separate Clyde and Butters, so you can talk alone with him and clear up the misunderstanding."

Murmured Kyle conspiratorially.

"Yes, and I know the perfect person to do it."

Said Stan with a huge smile.
