The King and The Knight | BUTCHERCUP✔️

Chapter 25

Author POV:

They're swords would repeatedly hit each other which would fill the castle with clashing sounds. Buttercup's and Butch's dark glares never left each others eyes. 

Both had different thoughts as they continue the fight and avoided each others attack. Butch's eyes widen as he missed Buttercup's sword towards his face. Objects around them were being destroyed by being knocked over or sliced apart by their swords.

"Why are we even fighting? Don't you remember our promise?" Butch whispered and furrowed his brows before stepping back and letting his arms drop to his side.

Buttercup tightens her grip on her sword as she also lets her arm drop to her side. Buttercup doesn't answer his questions, and just stares at him noticing his empty lifeless eyes staring back at her. He seemed depressed in Buttercup's eyes and just for a second she feels bad for him.

Buttercup can't relate what Butch is feeling though. For the past seven years, Buttercup has found love and has been feeling loved by the person she hopes to see again after slaughtering the Townsville king and bringing the crown back to her king.

Little does Buttercup know is that there is a small piece in her heart that still belongs to the man that is standing in front of her.

Butch stares at his first love and thinks to myself if he has completely lost her these past seven years being apart from each other. Butch holds back his chuckle at his ridiculous thoughts, of course he has lost her. He lost her the moment she decided to leave the castle.

The only sound in the cold room is their heavy breathing besides the horrifying screams and yells that is happening outside. "Peace...Let's make peace." Butch tells her, giving a weak smile. Buttercup face changes to anger and she moves her sword so fast that her sword rips Butch's clothing on his left arm, causing dark red blood to drip down his arm.

He hisses in pain and wraps his arm with his right hand trying to hold back more blood from coming out, but instead it just spread blood all over his hand and arm.

Butch mumbles out a few words that makes Buttercup chuckle, "Feelings for you? Must be some kind of joke" Buttercup shook her head, "Your right on not wanting to kill you, but disappointing my king and queen and failing as a great knight to the others, would be a huge burden to me."  

Buttercup once again tightens her grip on her sword when she sees Butch walking over to her. They're faces inches away from touching, "Burden? So everybody is more important than your first love?...the first to everything in your life?" He whispers to her.

Buttercup feels her body get shiver down her spin. "I may have not been there with you for the past seven years, but I'm willing to be there when it's the end fo-" Buttercup's eyes darkens, "You son of a bitch" Buttercup yells out before aiming her sword to him.

But before the sword could even touch him, she feels a powerful pain through her stomach.

Buttercup trembles and her sword drops to the ground making a loud clash in the room. Butch doesn't have much of an expression on his face besides hugging her close and running his fingers through her soft black hair. He gently knees down with her, and he hums when feeling blood being coughed out of her mouth onto his shoulder. . 

Butch pulls back from the hug, and he leans close to her face. Buttercup's eyes being blurry from the tears that keep repeatedly being filled up and falling down her face. "I always told you I'll be by your side when it's our end." He says in a smoothing tone. Butch places a kiss on her lips and that's when Butch realizes Buttercup is trying to wrap her arms around his neck.

He smiles and gently wipes some of the blood of her lips before wrapping her arms around his neck. They kiss with so much passion and want, they kiss each other like it'll be their last. Butch picks up Buttercup's sword that's placed on the floor, not breaking apart from the kiss, Butch quickly stabs himself.

"I love you," He whispers, as he feels Buttercup take her last breathe into the kiss.

Butch feels too weak to keep holding onto each others body, so he gently places Buttercup's body on the floor before laying down next to her.

The loud noises in the background began to disappear and Butch closes his eyes while holding her body close to his.
