South Park Butters X Kenny

17

'I'm so happy I went to see Butters. I can't believe we're actually together! Who would've thought.' I smile to myself as I walk home. The sun was gone from the sky, the moon was full and the sky almost filled with stars. 'I wish he were here with me, it's so pretty.'
After a while I was home. I walked through the door and went to the kitchen.

"Dinner's over, Kenny. I think there's maybe some beans in the fridge you can eat." My dad said coldly. I had barely eaten today but I didn't care. I'm in love and nothing else matters. I feel like I'm floating.

"No worries, dad. Karen can have them if she wants." I replied with a cheerful tone.

"What's gotten into you??" He asked annoyed.

"Oh, nothing." I said with a smile and went into my room. I lied down on my mattress. 'I can't stop thinking about Butters. I wonder what he's doing.. probably something cute like.. reading.. or something.' I think and smile as I look at my phone.

*new message*

It's from Cartman. What could he want?

Fatass: Hey!!

Me: Yes?

Fatass: You owe me for ditching on me earlier!

Me: owe you what?

Fatass: Meet me behind Tweek bros in 50

Me: 50 what?

Fatass: minutes fucktard

Me: minutes fucktard?

Fatass: Meet. Me. There. In. 50. Minutes.

Me: oh okay sure

I chuckle to myself. I love annoying him, he gets so angry.

I walked past the u-store-it and to Tweek Bros. 'It's 11:36 pm, Tweeks' closed a while ago, what does he want to do here??' I thought, curious to see what the fatass had in mind for me.

"I said 50, Kenny! Not 60!" Cartman exclaimed angrily when he saw me approach.

"Sorry, you know I'm bad at math." I shrugged my shoulders.

"Fuck's sake dude.." Cartman muttered irritated. I ignored it.

"Why did you want to meet here?"

"I got some stuff I want you to try with me." Cartman said and he looked around us.

"For the last time, Cartman, I'm not going to practise kissing with you." I said and crossed my arms.

"What?? Shut up!" Cartman's face went red. "No! I got some weed."

"What? Where did you get weed?" I uncrossed my arms and looked at the small plastic bag in Cartman's hand. "Dude! That's like 3 grams!" I said excited.

"I know. I got it from that goth chick."

"Henrietta?"

"Yeah."

"Nice! She has the best stuff." I take the bag from Cartman's hand. "Do you have a pipe or rolling papers?"

"I have papers. I want you to roll for me, that's the favour." Cartman replied.

"Yeah, no problem." I say and he hands me the pack of papers.
We went behind the coffee shop and sat down on the concrete with our backs against the wall. It took me a couple of minutes and then I handed Cartman 6 perfectly rolled joints.

"Sweet." He grinned.

"No problem."

"Do you want one?" He looked at me and held out one of the joints.

"Fuck yeah, thanks!" I take it. "Lighter?" I ask him and put my hand infront of him.

"Yeah, I can just light it for you." Cartman said and reached into his pocket. I lower my hand and put the joint between my lips with the other. He does the same with one of his. He takes the lighter and lights his first. Typical Cartman.

"Me next please." I say and turn my face to Cartman and smirk.

"Just hold still." He lit it up and I could see him smile just slightly. He lowered the lighter but he was still looking at me. His eyes moved from my mouth and to my eyes. He took a puff of his joint and softly blew it out of the corner of his mouth.

"You okay?" I asked.

"What??" He quickly turned away. "Of course I am."

"If you say so." I take a puff.

"Kenny?"

"Yeah?"

"You and Butters are a thing, right?"

"Yeah." I say and smile to myself. "Boyfriends since earlier tonight."

"Oh.. That's sweet, I guess." He looked up to the sky as he continued smoking.

"Why'd you ask?"

"No reason." He shrugged his shoulders.
We were silent for a while. We didn't speak until we had both finished smoking.

"Sorry I ditched today." I broke the silence.

"It's okay.." he replied quietly.

"You sure? You've seemed kinda off tonight.." I said and looked at him. "You can tell me if something's bothering you."

"You know you're my only friend, right?" He said quietly.

"What about Stan and Kyle? Or Heidi??"

"I'm not seeing Heidi anymore, didn't work out.. and you know I hate those guys." He looked back at me. "I hang out with them, but you're my only real friend."

"Oh, I'm sorry it didn't work out." I said, but I wasn't really surprised. "And I get what you mean with Stan and Kyle. I like hanging out with them, but they can be very self involved." I add.

"I just fucking hate everyone." Cartman said and moved slightly closer to me. "Everyone but you, Kenny.." He said as he looked into my eyes. I didn't know what to say. Cartman was never like this. So.. vulnerable.

"Well.. I've felt like that too. You just have to be willing to open yourself up to new people, dude." I say and pat his shoulder. "You never know where it'll take you unless you do it." I smile.

"I guess." He looked away from me and up to the sky again.

"It's getting kinda cold." I feel my body shiver slightly. "You want to go?"

"You can go." He said softly. "I'm going to stay a bit longer."

"You sure?" I stand up. "We can walk together up to Kyle's house before we have to split."

"It's okay, I'm just going to look at the stars for a bit and then I'll go home." He replied.

"Okay.. see you tomorrow, man." I start walking away. Before I go around the corner I look back and see Cartman wipe his eyes with the back of his hand. 'Somethings up with him.' I think and hesitate for a moment. 'What am I saying?? It's Cartman, he'll be fine.' I shrug it off and walk away.
