Cupid's Push - Bunny

Chapter 3

A/N: Sorry for not uploading yesterday! I'm posting 2 chapters today to make up for it! :]

Butters stands blankly, thinking of a response.

"I'm sorry Kenny but.. I already like someone.. and I don't like boys."

Kenny takes a step back, with a hurt expression. He lowers the bouquet and looks down.

"Oh, I see. Sorry, Butters.. I'll see you later."

Kenny turns around and walks away sluggishly. Butters reaches his arm out for a moment, looking desperate. He draws back, turning around and walking away as well. He holds his arm, lost in thought as he heads back to his house.

"I feel bad.. should I have given him a chance?" he says unsurely, getting his phone from his pocket, opening his messages with Kenny.

He wants to text him something, but doesn't know what to say. He closes out of the app and hesitantly places his phone back in his pocket.

Kenny receives a text, and as he hears the notification he gets out his phone.

[ Cartman: Did you do it? ]

[ Kenny: Yeah. ]

[ Cartman: Sooo, how'd it go?? 😏]

[ Kenny: I got rejected. He said he's straight and that he already likes someone.. ]

[ Cartman: 😦]

Kenny puts his phone away. He sighs, finally arriving at his house.

"I'm home." Kenny yells out, notifying his brother and sister, Karen and Kevin. His parents aren't home. Kenny was just about to enter his room when he heard some stumbling in the hall.

"Kenny!" Karen says with an enthusiastic, excited expression. She walks up to him and hugs him.

"Hey sis." He says, smiling warmly, hugging her back.

"Wanna play with me?" she asks.

"Aren't you too old to play now?"

"I might be 15, but that doesn't mean I don't wanna play. We barely ever hang out anymore. Can I give you a makeover?"

Kenny sighs.

"Sure."

"Yippee!" She pushes Kenny into her room and sits him down in a chair. She pulls some cheap makeup and beauty supplies from her drawer.

"You're gonna look so pretty." she says, with a smug expression.

"I'm looking forward to it." Kenny says back, chuckling.

Karen gets behind his chair and begins to mess around with his hair, putting it in pigtails. She sticks her tongue out as she concentrates. She then gets in front of him and begins to fix up his bangs, adding a bit of hairspray.

"Perfect! Your hair's done."

She ferociously pulls out a lipstick, applying it on his lips. It is glittery pink. Next, Karen pulls out some eyeshadow, dabbing it onto his eyelids. It is also pink. She finishes up the look after applying all the basic make-up necessities with eyeliner, mascara, and blush. She pulls out her phone.

"Say cheese!"

"Cheese!" Kenny holds up two peace signs and smiles.

Karen snaps a picture and quickly posts it on Instagram. She shows the picture to him.

"Wow! I look so beautiful! Thank you Karen!"

"No problem client." They both laugh. "Wait!"

Kenny raises his eyebrow.

"I need to pick out an outfit for you."

"Are you sure it'll fit?

"I'll get something from mom's closet! Be right back." Karen rushes out of the room, and into their parents'. She picks out a pink and white dress with strawberries on it. She goes back to Kenny and holds it up to him. "Go change into this!"

"How and why does mom even have that?"

Karen shrugs. "Just go change!"

Kenny quickly changes as Karen leaves the room.

"Can you help me tie up the back?"

"Yeah!" She goes back into the room, and tries to hold in her laugh as she sees him in the dress. She begins to tie up the lace, making sure it's nice and tight.

"So, how are things with Leo? Don't you like him?" she says as he fumbles with the lace strings.

"Oh, well.." Karen raises her eyebrow. "I actually confessed to him today.."

"Oh my god, really!?"

"Yeah."

"Does he like you back?!"

"No he's straight, plus he likes someone else."

"Straight? Leo? How? That guy just screams fruity.."

"Karen!" he yells, laughing.

"What?! It's true!"

"Who does he like?"

"I don't know.."

Karen sighs. "What a shame, I wanted to get at least one picture of you guys kissing!.."

"Seriously? Don't bring your photography into my love life!" They laugh together again.

"All done!" Karen says. Kenny stands up and turns around, showing off his look.

"Wow! You look dashing!" She takes another picture and also posts it. She captions the picture with 'See what you're missing out on Leo?~ 😉'

Cartman sits in his rolling chair, holding his chin in thought.

"Cupid Me, I'm so confused.. I thought Butters would for sure like Kenny back.."

"Why doesn't he?"

"Apparently he's not gay after all, he's straight and he likes a girl. I don't know who though.."

"Then why don't we just find out?

"You're right. I need to be extra observant and find out who Butters likes. Then, I can find a way to get her out of the situation.

"Good idea, maybe we can start by asking some of Butters' friends if they might know about who he likes."

"That's gonna be a problem.."

"Huh, why?"

"Well, Butters has like.. no friends.."

"Really?"

"Wait! I do know one person he's started talking to recently."

"And who's that?"

"Heidi Turner."
