"SHIT!"
Smart Butthead woke up alone in bed, Smart Beavis nowhere in sight. He turned his head towards the bedroom door, the smell of smoke flowing into the room.
He kept out of bed and ran towards the door, expecting his dearest to be injured, just to find Smart Beavis sitting behind the couch, the smoke coming from the kitchen, he seemed to have been startled while trying to make something.
Smart Butthead ran into the kitchen and turned off the stove, it turns out he tried to make grilled cheese for the both of them and he dropped some bread into the fire of the stove. Thankfully, he cleaned up everything quickly before going to comfort his boyfriend.
He looked up at Smart Butthead, he was obviously embarrassed of himself and he quickly stood up.
"Apologies, I should have not been so loud and bothered your slumber." He hung his head in shame.
Smart Butthead wore a comforting smile and pulled him close, his arms around his shoulders.
"It's not a problem at all, dear, we still have leftover nachos. Come, we shall watch television on the couch."
Smart Beavis nuzzled into his chest as they both walked to the couch and sat, turning on their television to the news channel.
They quickly shifted their bodies and began to cuddle, their lips meeting for a second.
"And in other news, tomorrow at 6 PM, the supreme leaders will be holding a celebration for the recent establishment of a brand new city, named Artius. It shall be held in the leaders' private ballroom and will only be open to people with an invitation."
Both of them grimaced after being reminded of what they have to deal with tomorrow. Smart Beavis looked very anxious, he HATED socializing with people that weren't close to him.
Smart Butthead noticed and pondered a way to get his mind off of it, not before changing the channel to some random cheesy sitcom.
"Smart Beavis?"
"Yes?"
"Is there anything you would like to converse about?"
"I'm not quite sure, Smart Butthead, maybe you can tell me about our early childhood?"
"What is there more to say? I've told you most of the horrors we went through."
"I'm curious about the workers there, you've never told me about them?"
Smart Butthead froze, did he really want to hear about their tormentors? Maybe he could just tell him about… her…
"Do you mind if I bring out a few photos? I won't show you any photos of us in distress."
He shook from his trance
"Of course, I'll wait right here."
Smart Beavis hopped from the couch and ran into their bedroom, he soon returned with a small stack of photos and files.
"Can you tell me about them?"
He pointed at a photo of 2 workers, one with poofy magenta hair, tied up in the back in order for it to not get in her eyes. Another one had short lavender hair, it was hard to tell if they were male or female.
Smart Butthead stared at the photo for a while, before he gave an unsatisfying answer.
"Neither of them treated us with kindness, that's all I can say."
Smart Beavis made a face of disappointment, and waited for elaboration.
Smart Butthead took a minute to read his expression before speaking again.
"…That is really all I remember, except… one of us ended up injuring the one with the magenta hair."
Smart Beavis was curious about what exactly happened
"How? When? I must know about this!"
Smart Butthead was reluctant, and he took the stack of photos and files and looked through them.
He pulled out a small file titled INCIDENT - YEAR 6
He quickly opened it and let Smart Beavis read it with him
Apparently when they were both 6 years old, both workers, whose names were placed as Naen and Lora, were scheduled to test a new medicine on them both.
Naen, who happened to be the one with magenta hair, was in charge of getting the needle into Smart Beavis. Apparently, he ran off and was later caught and had to be held down, Smart Butthead heard him screaming and got out of the subject quarters to defend him.
He ended up grabbing a scalpel and attacked Naen, letting Smart Beavis escape from the room.
Smart Butthead was later restrained and punished severely, and Naen had permanent facial scars.
Smart Beavis was in awe about the entire incident, on one hand, he was mortified that he nearly had to sustain a needle, although he definitely had a lot more then.
On the other hand, he was flustered that Smart Butthead did all that just to protect him.
He could tell that he was shaken up by that whole incident and decided to get Smart Butthead's mind off of it.
"Why do you think the government used another species to do experiments, Smart Butthead?"
Smart Butthead pondered that thought for a bit before giving an answer
"I'm not sure, perhaps it was laziness." He couldn't hold back a smile
"I guess you are right about that." He smiled back
It was silent between them for a bit, before Smart Beavis gave Smart Butthead a soft kiss on the cheek.
He smiled at the gesture and kissed his cheek back.
Soon, Smart Beavis took the stack of files and went back to their room to put them away.
He placed them in his nightstand before turning his body towards the door until he noticed something, their closet.
Smart Beavis thought that he might as well fetch the best robes they own for tomorrow, so he opened the closet door and began to search.
Their robes were nearly identical to each other, so it took much digging to find something unique.
His eye caught an old robe on his side of the closet, it had a white base, with a more vibrant shade of turquoise with some teal gems around the front, the only problem was that it looked like it was Smart Butthead's, not his.
He held onto that one before going to search for one that was his size, before he felt a pair of arms wrap around him.
He jumped and backed into the end of the closet, before realizing it was just Smart Butthead.
"Searching for apparel, I see?" Smart Butthead said, taking the robe Smart Beavis was holding and looking at it himself.
"Hm, I think I might have bought this a year or two ago, I must have only worn it once before storing it away. I'm sure there is something that might partially fit you." He handed it back, and began looking.
He soon pulled out another robe of his, this one looking almost like the other one, but being more turquoise, with blue gems hanging from the collar.
"Ah, I remember this one, I believe you purchased it for me on my 17th birthday, I've never gotten a chance to wear it, I don't even know if it still fits!"
Smart Beavis admired that he remembered its origin.
"Perhaps you can try it on?" Smart Beavis suggested, he thought about how wonderful he would look in an outfit like that.
"Alright." Smart Butthead responded with, and Smart Beavis left the closet to give him privacy.
A few minutes passed before Smart Butthead emerged, the robe fitting him flawlessly, he looked incredibly stunning to Smart Beavis and if he was able to blush, his whole face would go numb.
Smart Butthead noticed him and smirked.
"I'm guessing you like this?" He said, walking towards him slowly.
Smart Beavis could only nod slightly, but shook himself out of it after he was tossed the other robe.
"You can wear this one, we can adjust it later. I shall change back in order to keep this robe clean."
He went back into the closet and came back seconds later in his regular clothing.
"I guess we should worry about the rest later, what would you like to do now?"
Smart Beavis was still recovering from being flustered, but he already knew what he wanted.
"Do you mind if we just finish our nachos and rest in bed?"
Smart Butthead nodded and walked into the kitchen and heated up their nachos. He came back and gave a container to Smart Beavis.
They chatted while they ate, mainly about how awful tomorrow was going to be.
Soon, Smart Butthead put his empty container in the garbage and walked into the bedroom, removed his robe, and changed into a silky white underdress, he then got comfortable in bed.
Smart Beavis did the same, and crawled into bed, resting his body against his lover's.
They rested there for a few minutes before Smart Beavis began to pepper Smart Butthead's neck with kisses.
Smart Butthead rolled his eyes, and shoved him slightly, a smile plastered on his face.
"Will you stop being an idiot?" He asked in a joking manner.
"I'm sorry, but my mind goes numb when I'm near you…" Smart Beavis replied, leaning into him and staring at him lovingly.
Smart Butthead sighed, amused by his attempts to do what the humans call "flirting".
Smart Beavis decided to settle down and soon nuzzled into Smart Butthead's chest, his soft breathing being audible as his body was fully under the covers.
Now, it was Smart Butthead's turn to be affectionate, and he started by rubbing his love's back, caressing his cheek occasionally.
He lifted the covers a bit, just to find Smart Beavis staring at him with big doe eyes. Smart Butthead's heart was destroyed and he felt as he died right then and there.
They kept going back and forth for about an hour, before Smart Beavis left to use the restroom, leaving Smart Butthead alone.
He got up and stretched, letting out a quiet yawn. He walked out of their bedroom, when their observation room caught his eye.
They haven't done their observation duties in a while, and that gave him an idea.
What if he brought their blankets and pillows in there and snuggled while observing. It was genius!
He soon was making trips from room to room, spraying disinfectant on the floor before putting everything down, he set up everything and stood outside the bathroom, awaiting Smart Beavis.
Smart Beavis soon walked out before having his hand suddenly grasped by Smart Butthead, who began to walk him to their observation room.
"What is the meaning of this?" Smart Beavis questioned, Smart Butthead refused to answer as he led him to their observation room.
Smart Beavis' eyes widened as he saw his partner's work, immediately getting comfortable under the blankets and pillows.
Smart Butthead placed in the coordinates for middle-aged Beavis and Butthead, he found where Smart Beavis was and snuggled him close as they began their observation.
Their older, human counterparts decided to go to an annual convention in their tone in hopes of scoring with a geek. Only to wreak havoc on the event and have it shut down due to a gas leak after messing around in the boiler room of the convention center.
The smarts found this whole scenario incredibly humorous, too bad they didn't know how to laugh.
They've recently started to root for their counterparts to fall in love, just as they did. But they soon realized it would take forever, since every counterpart, other than them, were incredibly stupid.
Soon, it got boring as both Middle-aged Beavis and Middle-aged Butthead fell asleep on the couch.
"Smart Butthead, can we please press in the coordinates to where that "Bagel" girl is?" Smart Beavis asked his partner, smiling softly.
Smart Butthead gave a smile back "Of course! But before that, would you like me to order dinner?"
Smart Beavis nodded in agreement, and Smart Butthead soon was ordering them a large space pizza, plain and without toppings. Afterwards, he pressed in the coordinates and the screen soon showed that brunette girl, making an unholy concoction in her kitchen.
The Smarts were very amused whilst observing her, she was so unique and odd!" Soon enough, their pizza arrived, and they feasted whilst watching her almost destroy her kitchen, all for the sake of her "raccoon and squirrel meat stew" which she enjoyed for her dinner.
Soon enough, it was nighttime and observations ended once the girl fell asleep on her cheap mattress.
Smart Butthead began gathering all the blankets and pillows, Smart Beavis gladly helping. Soon enough they removed their robes, (Smart Butthead went to start a load of laundry afterwards) and were lying in bed, cuddling and snuggling like always.
"I can't believe we have to go to that celebration tomorrow! Why can't we just fake being sick?" Smart Beavis asked, with obvious dread in his voice.
Smart Butthead tried to soothe him by caressing him and pulling him closer to his body.
"It would be too obvious that we were faking, they would see through our lie and we would be in deeper trouble. We should be happy we got to spend today together."
There was silence for a while, and Smart Beavis still felt stressed and nervous. Smart Butthead noticed and began to softly sway him in his arms.
When that started to work, he began to hum to him.
Smart Beavis soon stopped being tense, and soon was asleep in his arms.
"I love you, Smart Butthead." he said before fully drifting off to sleep.
"I love you too, Smart Beavis."
