DISCLAIMER: I own nothing, sadly.

Chapter 4: Tired of Who I Am

Buttercup was sexually frustrated. Who would've thought once you get a taste of sex you'd crave it all the time. She started pacing around the living room, fighting off the anxiety to call Brick and have him fill the void she was feeling at the moment. She sighed, she was in too deep, she really needed to talk to her sisters about her fucked up situation. "Where the hell are they?" she cursed, school had let out hours ago. The one time she needs them to be home early is the one time they're both late.

She groaned in frustration, gripping her cell phone tighter in her hands. Damn her, and damn Brick, it was both their fault she was feeling like this. She had refrained from seeing him and Butch until she settled in her feelings. It's been a week since her encounter with Butch and she had yet to talk to her sisters. "Fuck!" She yelled a little too loud. She quickly made her way up to her room to prevent having to run into the Professor because of her little outburst.

She flopped on her bed, hugging one of the pillows tightly. Her mind drifted to Butch, a deep blush spread on her cheeks as she remembered the way Butch had touched her, his touch so very different than Brick's. He had told her again that he loves her and did not want to be involved with her sexually until she knew where her true feelings were.

She couldn't help but fantasize about what it would be like to be with. She slowly brought her hand to her breast as she recalled the administrations it had received from Butch last week, her other hand caressing her lips, she closed her eyes as he pictured Butch being there with her. She brought her trembling hand down to her pants, unbuttoning them as she stroked herself, already wet just thinking about him. She let out a faint moan "Brick..." she opened her eyes, confused. "Brick?" She asked herself in a whisper

"Buttercup, are you in there?" she heard Blossom, knocking on her door

She quickly pulled out her hand and buttoned her pants "Uh... yeah... just a sec" she ran to the bathroom to wash her hands quickly and opened the door for her sister

Blossom raised an eyebrow at her in question "Are you OK? You look a little flushed?"

Buttercup shook her head in response "I'm fine" she said as she walked to her bed and sat down, resting her back on the headrest, putting a pillow on her lap, slightly embarrassed

Blossom followed her, closing the door behind her "Where were you today? I didn't see you at school" she asked as she sat at the foot of her sister's bed

"I skipped school"

Blossom shook her head in disapproval "No shame at all"

Buttercup grinned "Well, you asked"

Blossom couldn't help but laugh, this was a precious moment, it has been a while since she's seen Buttercup being silly like her usual self.

"Anyway, I need to talk to you, I need some guidance" Buttercup admitted with a serious face

"This is about Brick and Butch, isn't it?"

Buttercup couldn't help but gasp, how the hell did she know so much? "So much for being discreet"

Blossom sat closer to her "Never mind that Buttercup, we know Butch cares for you..."

"So does Brick" she added

"It sure didn't sound like it the other day"

Buttercup stared at her sister, wide eyed, had she heard everything? "I told Brick 'I love you'" she blurted out "and Butch... he loves me" she sighed "it's all just a huge fucking mess, and I'm constantly on edge, confused about who my true feelings are with"

Blossom tried to make sense of all the information she had received in less than 10 seconds from her sister. "Do you truly love Brick? When did you tell him this? What did he say?"

Buttercup blushed, she knew Blossom knew what happened between them, she was no fool, but how was she supposed to tell her "I... it was... I don't..."

Blossom's cheeks tinged, she couldn't believe her sister was no longer a virgin "Buttercup... did he say anything back?" She asked her again

"He told me to not regret my words..."

Blossom looked at her, pushing for a yes or no

Buttercup sighed "No, he didn't."

"And Butch? Where does he fit in this?"

"Butch, I truly care for him, he loves me, he has showed me how much he does actually. He knows what I did with his brother..."

"Do you "love" him too" Blossom asked mimicking quote marks with her fingers

Buttercup got annoyed "Fuck Blossom, you're not helping! And to make things worse, now Brick and Butch are at each other's throats because of me"

Blossom gave her a sympathetic look "Buttercup, you can't control that anymore. No matter what you decide to do, someone will get hurt, you have to be conscious of that"

Buttercup could feel the tears coming, her sister was right. No matter how hard she tried someone would get hurt. She cared for each boy equally if you will, Butch was her best friend before all this mess. And Brick, well, she she'd gotten experience something amazing with him.

"Buttercup, I think you just have to put the pros and cons in a balance for each one, but I'm sure Bubbles would tell you to follow your heart"

Buttercup scoffed "So far that has gotten me nowhere"

Blossom hugged her "Your heart Buttercup, not your mind, you'll realize it soon, you're strong willed"

Buttercup hugged her back "Thanks Bloss, I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders"

Brick paced back and forth in his room, he was pissed. He couldn't believe Buttercup was giving him the cold shoulder after what they did. It has been a week of her avoiding him. The only thing that calmed him was that she was also avoiding Butch.

He had yet to find out where they were or what they did the other day. Butch wouldn't as much look at him. It hurt him, they used to always confide in each other, even Boomer was being affected by all this. He seemed depressed to know that his brothers who were once inseparable were now acting like complete strangers to each other. He sighed, hopefully they could move past it? Once Buttercup made up her mind...

"Buttercup loves me, she proved it, she told me" he told himself. Was that the reason she was distancing herself from him? Because he hadn't said 'I love you' back? He regretted not saying anything to her, his ego had gotten in the way. But what was he supposed to say? He wasn't even sure if he loved her, he cares for her, but did he care enough for him to call it love?

He mentally slapped himself, he missed her, he wanted to have her close, to hug her and apologize for the way he was acting. She loves him and what was he doing? Acting like a child. He was being too arrogant, and Buttercup was the one that was trying to get her feelings in order. "You fucking idiot, you're just throwing her into your brother's arms" he picked up his phone and texted her 'I need to see you', hoping she'd respond. He needed to see her, apologize to her. He just hoped he wasn't too late.

A few minutes later, his phone rang, it was her. "Buttercup" he answered relieved "We need to talk"

"Brick, I am not in the mood for your fucking egomaniac outbursts, I think it's best if we just stay apart for a while"

"No Buttercup, you can't do that to me. I need to see you... I miss you" he whispered the last part

"Brick Jojo, being humble?"

"Please Buttercup, I know I've been unbearable these past few days, that's why we really have to talk, in person"

Buttercup was curious now "Fine, you know where to meet, but I'm warning you Brick, one fucking arrogant comment..."

"No, it won't happen, I'll see you in 10 minutes"

Buttercup sighed, she was intrigued. She flew out of her bedroom's window, not really in the mood to run into one of her sisters, and took off towards the familiar abandoned building.

When she landed on top of the building, she looked around but Brick was nowhere in sight. "Where is he?" She was sure he said 10 minutes, it was dark by now, only light coming from the street lamp. She shrugged and sat down, resting her back against the wall. She was nervous, she had avoided him for a while week, and she missed him. Did he truly miss her or was that just an excuse to see her?

Brick landed softly in front of her, snapping her out of her thoughts, his hands behind his back "Buttercup, I'm happy you didn't bail" he said, a slight smile on his face. He looked gorgeous, his cap shadowing his crimson eyes, making them look darker than usual. "I've missed you"

Buttercup stood up, fighting the urge to throw her arms around him and kiss him. "Let's just get this over with, Red. What was so important that you wanted to see me?"

Brick stepped closer to her, bringing out from behind him a single white rose "Buttercup, I'm sorry. I've been a real asshole to you" he stated as he handed her the rose

Buttercup was flabbergasted, no one had ever had such gesture with her, she didn't know how to react. "Brick..."

He took her hand and placed the rose on it "Let me finish. That morning was amazing Buttercup, and I'm sorry I ruined what should've been a perfect moment for us, for you" he caressed her cheek "I let my ego get the better of me, I didn't realize that until now. I just hope I'm not too late..."

Buttercup pulled him in for a hug, she was certain now, she truly loved Brick Jojo "Thank you, Brick, you don't know how much this means to me"

Brick interlaced his fingers in her hair, breathing in that intoxicating scent of hers. That scent that he couldn't live without now. "Buttercup, I love you" he felt her tense up.

She pulled away to look him in the eyes "What?" was all she could ask, she held her gaze looking for any sign of dishonesty, it was hard to believe his words.

"I love you Buttercup Utonium" he repeated, holding his gaze "I'm sorry I was taking you for granted" his look was soft and tender. "I promise you I will change, no more arrogance, I don't want to lose you"

Buttercup couldn't hold back her tears at his words, never in a million years did she expect for him to tell her that. She was at a loss of words, so she let her actions speak for herself, she threw her arms around his neck and kissed him.

Brick held her by her waist and happily responded to her kiss. He missed her lips on his, he was in heaven, he never wanted to be apart from her again, he loved her, there was no doubt, his heart belonged to her, he just hoped hers was still his.

She pulled away from him "Brick, I love you too, I thought I didn't, but after being apart from you these past few day, it made me realized I missed you, only you"

"So this is it?" He asked

She nodded "Yes Brick, it's only you and me, nobody else"

He couldn't help the goofy grin painted on his face as he cupped her face "Then, you'll do me the honor of being my girlfriend?"

She blushed and nodded before Brick captured her lips in his again. This was it, he wasn't going to screw this up again. He needed to show her how much he truly loves her. He took her hand in his "Come on, I'll take you home"

She gripped the rose tighter on her hand as her mind drifted to Butch. She needed to tell him it was not going to happen. She cared for him, she was attracted to him, but her feelings towards him were not as strong as her feelings for Brick. She did not love him and it wouldn't be fair to either of them. She turned to look at Brick, he caught her staring at him and met her gaze "What's wrong?" He asked her

"We gotta talk to him" was all she said, Brick knew who she was talking about.

He got a serious look on his face, he honestly did not want to, he didn't want to hurt his brother even more than he already has, he now knows that his attitude towards him was not the best. He really did stoop so low. And yes, he needed to apologize to him. He knew she was right, they needed to let him know that Buttercup had made up her mind, that things between her and Butch were not going to happen.

"When?"

"The sooner, the better, I don't want to keep lying to him"

"Come on then, let's go look for him, I'm sure he's home"

Brick opened the door to Mojo's lab, letting Buttercup in first. She walked in and saw Boomer standing in the kitchen eating a sandwich. "Boomer, hi" she greeted

Boomer glared daggers at Buttercup. It was her fault his brothers had grown apart. "Whatever" he rudely responded and left to his room without another word.

Brick apologized for his brother's behavior "Don't worry Brick, I understand I am not his favorite person right now"

Butch was laying on his bed, playing music on his phone quietly. His eyes closed, trying to drift off into slumber. He heard a faint knock on his door, "Door's open" thinking it was Boomer

The door creaked a little as Buttercup poked her head in, looking around, he spotted him on his bed "Butch?"

He shot up at the sound of his voice "Buttercup?" he walked over to her, that's when he noticed she wasn't alone. He felt his heart dropped when he saw them holding hands. So this was it, she had made up her mind and was now here to kill him slowly. He motioned for them to come in.

Brick shut the door as Butch flopped down on his bed "Get on with it" he was heartbroken but he wasn't going to show it, at least not in front of them.

"Butch, I'm sorry"

"Save the apologies Buttercup, just know that he is not going to love you the way I love you, he wasn't even man enough to respect your body!"

Brick walked in front of Buttercup "Butch, that is not fair. You have no idea how things between us happened, you have no right"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP BRICK"

"Butch, please calm down, I'm sorry, I just don't feel for you what you feel for me, it wouldn't be fair for any of us"

Butch looked from Brick to Buttercup, he had never in his life had felt so betrayed, and from two people he once held dear, he shook his head in disappointment "Just go, this conversation is moot"

Buttercup took a step closer to him "Butch, I'm sorry" she repeated

He turned to Brick "I hope you're happy with yourself Brick"

"Butch, I'm sorry too, this is all my fault, I hope one day you'll find it in your heart to forgive me" Brick told him "I was an asshole to you and..."

Butch grabbed him by the collar "Fuck you, Brick" he spat "I'll never forgive you asshole, you can shove your apology up your ass"

Buttercup panicked "Butch, stop, let him go"

He shoved him to her "Get the fuck out of my room! Both of you! I don't ever wanna see your faces again for the rest of my pathetic life"

Brick pulled Buttercup "Come on, it's useless to get him to reason when he gets like this"

"Yeah, go! Go fuck my brother, I'm sure his dick is all you're in love with"

Buttercup snapped, she charged at him landing a punch on his face before Brick could hold her back "FUCK YOU BUTCH!"

"Buttercup, no, he doesn't know what he's saying, come on" Brick tried to pull her but she wouldn't budge

Butch couldn't help the smirk as he spit out the blood in his mouth. She still packs quite a punch "Don't expect an apology, Buttercup" he whispered

"Let's go Brick"

They left without another word, leaving Butch alone in his dark room. He sighed as he sat on his bed and in his weakest moment, he let the tears fall, he had lost Buttercup. He loved her and she had trampled all over his heart. He had been crushed by her and his own brother. He knew in his heart he would never be able to forgive them. And for the rest of the night all you could hear throughout the room were his inconsolable whimpers.

It has been over a week since Buttercup made up her mind, she didn't regret her decision, she was certain Brick was the one she loved, so why did she feel so crappy? Her last encounter with Butch had been a total disaster, not only had she hurt him emotionally but physically as well when she threw that punch at him. She now regretted ever punching him, she knew he was pissed and didn't know what he was saying.

He hadn't been a school since last time she saw him, so there was no way for her to try and reason with him, not that he would want to talk to her. She sighed as she walked over to her bathroom "The damage has been done, there's no way around it" she mumbled. She would forever have to live knowing she hurt him, so she needed to find a way to bury that somewhere. She quickly undressed and took a quick shower, today was Friday and she was meeting Brick at his place.

Butch quickly made his way up to his room, this was routine by now. He would avoid everyone, he did not need their pity. Before he could open the door to his room, a voice called to him, he turned and notice Brick right behind him. He scoffed "What do you want?"

Brick looked at his brother, he looked sleep deprived, "Butch, we gotta talk, you can't keep avoiding me, anyone for that matter"

"Watch me" he tried slamming his door only for Brick to stop him

"You're acting like a child Butch!"

"Brick move out of my fucking way" he tried pushing the door only for Brick to fully swing it wide open

"No Butch! I'm tired of your fucking attitude! You've been missing school, do you really want to be held back and not be able to graduate with us?"

Butch sighed, he was right, with school ending in less than a month, he needed to get it together, but could he? "Listen Brick, I don't need you to babysit me, and since when did you start caring?"

Brick frowned "I've always cared for you and Boomer, you are my brothers, and anything that affects you, affects me too"

Butch scoffed "Yeah right, you sure as hell don't act like it"

Brick looked at him sternly "Butch, there is not a day that has gone by that I don't kick myself in the ass for putting us through this." This was it, he was making progress, at least he's talking. "I know I was a complete asshole to you, I completely mishandled everything"

"Well she chose you so..." he stopped, trying to find the right words. He knows this situation is killing him as well, before all this they were inseparable, but he had Buttercup, surely she helped Brick feel less shitty, "you have her to help you cope with all this, who do I have Brick?"

"You have me, I'm your brother, you have Boomer" he told him "Hell, you even have Buttercup, she's your best friend"

Butch choked back his breath, Buttercup used to be his best friend, they would to tell each other everything, and last time he saw her, he riled her up to the point where he had her attack him "I don't think Buttercup would want to talk to me after what happened last time"

"Hey, I didn't think you'd want to talk to me, but here we are"

Butch looked at his brother and couldn't help but smirk, he missed him, he wanted things to go back to once they were, but they both knew that wasn't going to happen "Yeah, I have no idea why, honestly I thought I'd hate you for the rest of my life, but unfortunately, you are my brother, and blood will always be thicker, huh?"

Brick was ecstatic, he couldn't believe he was making progress with him, the most stubborn of his brothers, he smirked back at him "I'm glad you think that way Butch, now I know things between us will never be the same, but, hopefully with time you'd forgive me, because I know you, you won't forget"

"You got that right". Butch tried closing his door again, only for Brick to put his foot in the way "And go back to school, please, this is for your own good"

Butch rolled his eyes "I will" he said as he closed the door a little too loud

When Buttercup arrived at Brick's place, she couldn't help but noticed that he looked much happier than last time, and if you added the goofy grin on his face that he couldn't seem to get rid off. She made a mental note to ask him about it later.

They were in his room watching a movie, but Buttercup was finding it hard to focus. She turned to Brick, he seemed to be dozing off. She glanced at the the clock on the wall, it was almost midnight, she needed to go home soon. She picked up the remote and turned off the tv.

"I was watching that" Brick mumbled with his eyes still closed

Buttercup rolled her eyes as she tried getting up, only for Brick to pull her to him by the waist "Where do you think you're going?"

Buttercup turn to face him, his eyes now set on her. He brought his hand to the base of her neck to pull her into a kiss which she gladly responded to. He pulled away, his eyes never leaving hers "You know I love you, right?"

Buttercup smiled at him "I love you too, Brick"

Brick pushed her onto her back and kissed her again, leaving a trail of wet kisses along her jaw line down to her collarbone.

"Brick..."

He shushed her as he gently kissed her lips, he pulled her to him in a tight embrace, just enjoying each other's company in a comfortable silence.

"I talked to Butch today" he blurted after a few minutes

Buttercup's eyes widened as she turned to look at him "I think I'm making progress... he... he looks like shit" he said as tears welled up in his eyes "I did that to him"

Buttercup sat up "No Brick, we did". He sighed and shut his eyes. "What did he say to you?" She asked curiously. Truth was, she really wanted to talk to Butch as well, but hadn't worked up the courage to.

Brick shook his head "He's still upset, he says he feels like he has nobody to talk to to process all of this"

Buttercup stood up from the bed "Do you mind if I try talking to him?" Her eyes pleading, hoping the obsessive side of him didn't take over.

Brick looked at her "Right now?"

She nodded as she walked over to him "You know I feel like shit after everything that's happened"

Brick kissed her lips softly and nodded "I know, we all do, Buttercup" he sighed as he motioned for her to go on

"I love you" she whispered in his ear before disappearing from his room.

Buttercup had to fight back the urge to turn around and leave. She was standing in front of Butch's door, having yet to knock. She took a deep breath, exhaling slowly as she brought her fist to his door, knocking so softly she was sure he didn't hear.

To her surprise, the door creaked open, Butch peeking through the small crack. He spotted her, his eyes showing confusion and sadness in them "Buttercup?" He asked, maybe he was hallucinating

"Butch, can we... can I come in?"

He opened his door to let her into his dark room, she floats in to avoid tripping over something. Butch reaches for the lamp switch, turning it on, slightly illuminating the room. "Did your boyfriend send you?" He asked her sourly

Buttercup frowned, he got a good look at him, Brick was right, he had let himself go. He looked exhausted and weak, his hair was a mess, he had dark circles under his eyes... and those eyes that once shined brightly, were dull and emotionless. She let a tear slip out, only for Butch to walk over to her and wipe it away, caressing her cheek in the process. "I'm sorry" she whispered

Butch quickly pulled his hand away, almost as if her skin burned him, and walked over to his bed to sit down. Buttercup followed him and sat next to him. She sighed, she didn't know how to begin, so she just stayed silent, hoping he'd say something.

Fortunately, he did, he turned his gaze to her "I didn't think you'd want to talk to me after last time"

"We both said and did things we knew we'd regret," she started "which is exactly why I'm here, I want to apologize for punching you, I know you didn't mean it, we were both on edge..."

Butch stayed silent, he was glad Buttercup understood, but that didn't mean he could still be friends with her. Not after everything "Buttercup, I... we can't be friends after this" he told her

"Butch, we can try..."

He shook his head "I love you, damn it! I can't be friends with you, you're with Brick now" he said raising his voice a little, standing up from his bed, frustrated.

Buttercup stayed quiet, she really hoped they could try and reconnect, but she knew Butch was right, things between them would never go back to the way they once were. Things had been said, actions had been made. She got up and hugged him from behind "Butch, I'm sorry"

Butch pulled away, and turned to face her, "Don't Buttercup, look, I accept the fact that you chose him, but please don't ask me for anything else"

She sniffled as she wiped away the few tears she had let fallen, she held his gaze "You're right Butch, I won't pressure you"

Butch cupped her face "Buttercup, I'm sorry for what I said to you the other day, I didn't really mean any of it"

Before she could respond, Butch placed a soft kiss on her cheek "I honestly hope you and my brother are happy"

Buttercup wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him in for a hug, inhaling his faded pine scent. She hated herself for making him look so weak. Butch is one of the toughest people she knows, and she was sure he was going to pull through this ordeal.

Butch hugged her back tightly, he knew this was going to be the last time he got to hold her this close to him. Hiding his face in her jasmine scented hair. That scent of her that was now poisonous to him. He couldn't help but let a tear fall, he loved her, but she loved his brother. He couldn't be friends with her, at least not while he still had these feelings for her. He pulled away, kissing the top of her head

Buttercup wiped her tears away "I guess I'll see you around" she whispered as she walked out his room.

Butch sighed, he needed to stop looking like someone who craved pity. He was going to pull himself together. He was tough, there's nothing he can handle. He grabbed his towel and headed to take a shower. He was going to be all right.

ONE MONTH LATER

Buttercup laughed as she jumped into Brick's arms, gripping her diploma on one hand "We made it, Brick!"

Brick twirled her around, celebrating their accomplishment. He set her down, giving her a quick peck on the lips "Congratulations, babe"

Buttercup smiled from ear to ear, this is the happiest she's been in a while "Thanks, right back at ya" she noticed Boomer and Butch standing behind him a couple of feet away, she walked over to them, Brick following close behind "Hey guys, congrats"

Boomer smiled at her " Thanks Buttercup, ditto" he was looking around "Have you seen your sister?"

Buttercup was glad Boomer wasn't the type of person to hold a grudge, she didn't want to be on bad terms with him or Butch for that matter. "I think she stopped back there to talk to one of her cheerleader friends"

"Thanks, I'll go look for her" he waved to them and walked off

Buttercup turned to Butch, who was lazily scrolling through his phone, they hadn't crossed word with each other in what felt like forever, just the occasional wave or nod. Brick cleared his throat "I'm gonna go find Blossom, we can get outta here and go celebrate, all six of us"

Buttercup nodded, she knew wat he was doing, Brick was trying to give her space, so she could talk to his brother "Ok, we'll meet you at the front" she called to him

She walked over to Butch, tapping his shoulder "Hey big guy, congrats, you did it"

Butch looked at her and smiled "Yeah, thanks to Brick who kept pushing me" he said as he tucked away his phone in this pocket

"You need to give yourself credit, after what I put you through..."

Butch stopped her "That's in the past Buttercup, no need to dig it up"

Buttercup nodded, he was right, it was better to leave the past buried. She was happy for him, he worked really hard to walk across that stage, and it was all his accomplishment, not Brick's. "Well, I'm really proud of you for getting up to par with the classes and credits you missed, all your hard work paid off"

Butch walked closer to her, after all the hell he's been through because of her and his brother, he couldn't bring himself to hate them, no matter how much he tried. He had loved this girl with all his might, but now, he looks at her and feels nothing "Thanks Buttercup" was all he said before pulling her in for a hug

Buttercup let ou the breath she didn't know she was holding, and hugged him back. This hug was different than their last one a month ago. This hug was friendly, and she was glad it was that way. It means he was moving on. Hopefully now, they could work on their broken friendship, she really missed hanging out with him to goof around.

"So, you want to get outta here, Brick wants to get together and go out to celebrate" she asked him as she pulled away.

Butch shook his head "I'll pass, I actually already made plans with someone"

Buttercup raised her eyebrow, intrigued "Really?"

Before she could ask him who, Blossom and Brick walked up to them "Well, it looks like it's only going to be you and me babe, Blossom and Butch already have plans, and I'm pretty sure Boomer and Bubbles took off, I can't find them anywhere"

Buttercup looked at Blossom questionably but didn't say a word.

Butch walked over to her smiling "Are you ready, Pinkie?"

Blossom gave him a stern look "I've told you a million times not to call me Pinkie!" She turned to Buttercup and Brick, who had questioning looks on their faces "I'll see you guys later"

Butch wrapped his arm around Blossom and waved at them "Bye guys" Leaving the red and green couple with incredulous looks.

Buttercup blinked a few times, Blossom and Butch? "Blossom and Butch?" She asked out loud, bringing Brick out of the dazed state he was in

"I'm just as shocked as you, I never knew... when? How?"

Buttercup laughed, he was happy for them. Blossom has the kindest heart she knows and knows that she's helping Butch get through one of his most difficult times. And if that meant they were going to end up together, she knew there couldn't be anyone more perfect for Butch than Blossom. Opposites do attract.

"Come on Brick, let's go, we'll have the house all to ourselves" she winked at him.

Brick licked his lips as he looked her up and down "Ain't gonna say no to that, Cupcake"

She rolled her eyes as they began walking "Which reminds me?" She turned to look at him "What?"

Brick grabbed her arm to keep her from walking "That night, at your house... we didn't... I didn't use a condom? It's been over month..." he trailed off

Buttercup patted his cheek "You don't have to worry about that, I am on birth control, I have been since I was 16" she told him

Brick breathed in relief "Really? Why?"

Buttercup rolled her eyes "Let's just say Mother Nature was a bitch that always forgot to give me a uterus punch"

Brick laughed at Buttercup's weird use of words to describe her period, he hugged her waist pulling her closer to him "You are amazing, you know that?" He kissed her lips lightly.

Buttercup blushed, he had come a long way, from being a jerk with no emotional attachment to her, than to being an impulsive obsessive asshole, to the man she had now in front of her. Brick, the guy that stole her heart, the man who never lets a day go by without telling her those three amazing little words. Three words followed always by her name, that grew to be her favorite.

"I love you, Buttercup"

The End.

A/N: I hope you enjoyed, I will post the Butchercup ending as soon as I am finished with it.
