It was now recess and the lesson felt really quick, even though it was super boring. Butters tried to stay back for extra work but Kenny dragged him out of the classroom.
💘
“Cmon dude, you don’t wanna waste your precious recess time doing work,” Kenny tried to push Butters out of his chair, but all his attempts were in vain.
Butters groaned and gave in, he wasn’t in the mood to do anything, not after Cartman and Bebe had hollered at him.
💘
Butters walked ahead, thinking Kenny was behind him but Kenny was putting a book in his locker. Then the most unfortunate thing happened; as Butters was daydreaming like he usually did, he bumped into Cartman.
💘
“You stupid moron, what’s wrong with sitting next to me?” Cartman confronted Butters, his fists curled up into a ball with a mean, gnarly grin plastered on his face.
Butters turned pale at Cartman’s angered aura, he looked behind him, desperately hoping his knight in shining armour would come and save him.
“So you gonna answer me or what? You think you can just get away with humiliating me in front of everyone like that? If you got a problem with me then say it to my face” Cartman throws a fist at Butters.
Butters stood there in shock, his hand holding the left side of his now bright red cheek.
💘
"Hey does anyone know where Butters is?" Kenny said to no one in particular. "Yeah HE'S near the toilets and I think he's asking out Wendy" Bebe said trying not to laugh.
"As if I believe that" Kenny answered.
"Go see for yourself"
"Maybe I will..."
Kenny walked to the toilets he knew he had to make every moment count since he only had 5 more days of dating Butters.
Meanwhile Cartman had dragged Butters to behind the bike sheds on the playground and was beating him up like crazy, unfortunately Kenny was on the other side of the school...
💘
Kenny frantically searched for his temporary lover, the feeling in his gut had foreshadowed that something bad was happening. He grew more and more anxious the longer he searched, as the feeling of dread grew in his stomach.
Through the hallways he ran, searching in every classroom and door he passed by. He eventually stepped out onto the playground to find a crowd of children gathered around in a circle.
Some children cheered and chanted, “Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!”
as others stared with horror written on their face.
Kenny rushed over to the crowd and shoved over everyone until he was at the front of the crowd. His heart shattered as he saw his friend ruthlessly beating up his beloved, as if he was some sort of punching bag.
Butters face was stone cold, almost resembling a lifeless body. He was there just taking the punches, not speaking a word and as if he was used to this sort of stuff.
Kenny fought his way through the crowd and grabbed Cartman by his hair, immediately catching him by surprise.
“WHAT THE F*** DO YOU THINK YOURE DOING???!!!”
Cartman stared with big wide eyes, he knew he f****d up big time. Kenny's fierce aura was enough to make the crowd go silent.
Cartman grabs Kennys hand and forced it to let go of his hair. He brushed himself off the ground and let go of Butters.
“Well, your stupid boyfriend thought it was funny to HUMILIATE me in front of the classroom by expressing how UNCOMFY he felt by sitting next to me,”
Cartman tried to turn back around to continue battering Butters. Kenny stopped him and shoved Cartman to the ground with a singular push. Kenny balled his hands into a fist, the adrenaline in his veins pulsated throughout his whole body. He shot an dirty, enraged look at Cartman in absolute disgust at such an filthy human being.
Kenny spat in his face and stomped on the side of Cartman's face and leant down closer to him so he could hear him,
“Butters isn’t the only one who’s uncomfy sitting next to you, the whole f****ng school hates you. you’re nothing but a low-life, self pretentious, awful waste of human life. society be better off without you in it, so get the F*** out of here before I beat the living s*** out of you,”
Cartman stood up and dusted himself. He rolled his eyes and left the scene, he was scared and offended, but tried to not let it show on his face.
Kenny turned to face the crowd,
“You all better p*ss off, the shows over now f*** off, all of you,”
The crowd dispersed off and left the two boys alone, muttering away to themselves in surprise.
Kenny slumped onto the floor next to Butters, and wrapped an arm around him. Butters hugged Kenny and burrowed his face into his chest, sobbing his poor heart out.
Kenny wrapped Butters into a tight embrace, his mouth not opening once as he let the poor boy spill his emotions out onto his orange coat.
The bell had already rung long ago, and the eerie playground was now empty with the exception of the two boys -who were still hugging each other. Not a soul in sight was to be seen, and the atmosphere was nice and serene. (heheh)
Butters slowly started to calm down and had stopped crying. He looked up at Kenny, with snot dribbling down his nose and his eyes glistened in the sunlight that shone on his pale face.
“I think I got your coat a little wet,” Butters giggled, his voice a little muffled due to his blocked and stuffy nose.
Kenny reassured him, “It's alright honey, as long as you’re okay, I’ll be here for you. lets skip class and go to the medical room, and I’ll walk you home today after school,”
Butters nodded and they stood up and started to journey their way to the infirmary/medical room.
Butters stopped in his tracks and grabbed Kenny’s hand. Kenny turned to face Butters to see what’s up.
“Hey kenny?”
“Yeah?”
“... Thank you, you really are the greatest,”
Kenny smiled and the two continued to walk. He thought to himself
‘Damn, 5 days isnt enough. I want to date Butters for longer’
💘
"Uh Butters can I ask you a question?" Kenny said as they continued walking hand in hand.
"Well sure you can ask me anything!" Butters smiled sweetly.
"How come you just let him beat you up like that? I mean... it's hard for me to resist punching him in the face when im not fighting him."
"Well I felt really bad for humiliating him so I guess I kinda deserve it and besides I wouldnt want to hurt the fella he's one of my best friends."
"WHAT??- he is not one of your best friends he treats you like absolute s*** and gives no remorse and every time he's nice to you it's because he wants you for something. You are the sweetest person I know and you don't deserve any of that!!"
Butters went red and looked at the floor he didn't really know how to accept compliments.
"That's so nice of you Kenny, thank you." Was all he could manage to say
"I'm just telling the truth," Kenny stated as they got to the nurses office.
"What seems to be the problem?" questioned the nurse.
"Isn't it obvious?" Kenny pointed at Butters who had 2 black eyes, a bloody nose and a busted lip among other bruises and scratches caused by Cartman.
"Let's get this over with..." the nurse rolled her eyes and scowled at Butters.
"What happened to you then?" She continued.
"Uh I-I fell into...a..um stinging nettle bush and then a.... Uhh a tennis ball hit my eye?" Butters said although it sounded like he was asking a question.
"Sure that's what they all say I know you got into a fight." the nurse replied bluntly.
"Y-yeah well it was my fault I started it ma'am," Butters looked at the floor.
"Ha I bet you did," the nurse says handed Butters an ice pack.
"You can go back to class now McCormick."
"Can't I stay with Butters to make sure he's ok?" Kenny pleaded.
"As if! That's just an excuse to skip class, now get out of my sight." The nurse said, raising her voice a little.
Butters swallowed dryly and said a small goodbye to Kenny who secretly waited outside.
An hour passed and Butters finally came out of the nurses office with a bandage on his arm and some plasters on his cuts. His face was red and blotchy, it was obvious that he had been crying more in there.
Kenny felt really bad because he could see Butters was really upset and in a few days he might be even more upset due to the dreaded breakup.
"Oh Kenny! I didn't expect you to be here, what a nice surprise!" Butters grinned, rubbing his eyes.
"Hi Butters are you ok?" Kenny asked still feeling a bit worried.
"I'm as right as rain now your here!" Butters held Kenny's hand as they walked down the corridor together.
"So...are you free tonight?"
