Kenny x Butters, "You deserve better!"

Chapter 28: Face

Butters is shocked as he takes a step back, his legs feeling weak and about to give out.

"Oh, hamburgers...." Butters mumbles to himself before crouching down and holding Mysterion.

"Mysterion! Hey!" Mysterion feels cold in his arms. Butters feels tears roll down his face as he holds him tighter.

"Hon?....please, stop you're scaring me...." Butters said.

Butters puts his head on Kenny's chest, and he hears a faint heartbeat. Butters smiles, "O-Oh, thank God. False alarm."

Butters shook Mysterion a bit, trying to wake him while wiping tears from his face, completely forgetting that he had his costume on.

It took a minute, but Kenny soon woke up. His eyes fluttering open as he looked around the room, "What the....where am I-ah!"

Mysterion immediately jumped back when he saw Butters, "Professor Chaos! Shit!"

"W-Wha-oh!" Butters looked down and remembered what he was wearing. That's when he started panicking.

What should he do? Take it off? But then he would reveal who he really was, and Kenny would hate him. But if he kept it on, Mysterion would try to fight him, and he didn't want to hurt his boyfriend.

"H-Hey Mysterion. I-It's ok. I'm not going to hurt yo-" Butters was cut off by a hard and quick punch to the jaw.

Butters's vision was blurry, and everything seemed to be splitting into two, "M-Mysterion stop it! I don't want to hurt you!"

Butters said as he gets up, using the wall to help him. His visions cleared, and he saw Mysterion on the other end of the room.

"Your goons got me, but I'm not going to let you take me down," he said, clearly ready to fight for his freedom.

"Mysterion, I'm not going to do anything!" Butters begged, worried.

"Nice try Chaos, but you've done this before." It was true; Butters had done something similar to this as a tactic to fighting Mysterion. Mysterion was going to believe him.

He couldn't leave the room; his teammates would get suspicious. The only thing Butters could do was defend himself while trying not to harm Mysterion.

Mysterion threw a punch, and Butters blocked it before ducking and getting behind Mysterion.

Mysterion turned while reaching for his pockets, only to realize that he didn't have his weapons. Of course, he didn't; Butters's teammates probably took them away.

"Shit." Mysterion mumbled as he realized he would have to use his fists.

Butters tried guessing what Mysterion was going to do next.

Mysterion lunged forward, and Butters dodged again; however, he didn't see that Mysterion had also thrown a kick in the direction he dodged to.

Butters' legs got hit, and he fell to the ground. Mysterion grabbed him by the collar and pinned him against the wall.

Butters blushed as he was pinned, his mind immediately, almost instinctual, imagining Mysterion pinning him so they could make out.

But no, instead his thoughts snapped back to reality by getting punched.

Unlike Butters, Mysterion didn't think anything close to that; after all, he was in a relationship with his beautiful Butters, who he didn't know was the one he was beating up. No one could even come close to competing with him.

Butters got punched more and more, his face starting to bleed. Butters felt tears fall as he tried to push Mysterion off.

"Mysterion!! Stop it!! Please!! It hurts!" Butters begged, however, that seemed to trigger something inside Mysterion's head.

"Oh, this hurts huh!? This hurts? Well, guess what!? Get over it! Cause everyone you have ever hurt also felt pain! I fight to protect the innocent, to keep my family (just his sister), and the most goddamn beautiful person in the world safe! Meanwhile, you try and hurt them! So I don't care if you are hurting cause you have caused much greater pain!"

Butters was silent; Mysterion's words cut extremely deep into his soul. Mysterion's words hurt like hell.

Butters felt as more tears just fall; Mysterion may not be yelling at him, him, but man, did it still hurt.

Along with these punches.

Butters felt weak as Mysterion landed a few more punches before dropping him to the floor.

Butters didn't try to get up, nor say anything; he just lay there, tired and hurting.

The world around him started to go blurry and black as the last thing he saw before passing out was Mysterion's pissed-off face.

~*~

Kenny looked down at the unconscious Professor Chaos. Blood on his knuckles as he starts searching his pockets for the keys out.

However, while he was doing so, his elbow accidentally hit Professor Chaos's helmet off.

At first, Kenny didn't notice it as he searched for the key out, but his eyes for a split second looked over at Professor Chaos's face.

Kenny froze when he realized that Professor Chaos's helmet was off. He looked over again, with his whole head this time so he could get a better look.

And that's when Kenny realized, realized who Professor Chaos's was. Kenny couldn't believe it.

He cupped Professor Chaos's face as he felt a tear run down his face.

"Butters? Butters!" Mysterion couldn't move as he looked at the beat-up face of his love.

Kenny couldn't believe it; how did he not notice their beautiful baby blue eyes, the way they tilted their head when curious or confused.

Kenny pulled Butters' face close to his face, "Butters....Butters I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry I didn't....I didn't know it was you!! I swear!!"

Butters didn't reply as Kenny cried. Kenny didn't know what to do; he hurt his love; he betrayed what he was fighting for.

Though one question remained in his mind, why was Butters Professor Chaos? Butters was nice and caring; why would he become a crime lord!?

Kenny thought about it, mind racing before coming to one conclusion.

This was probably an outlet for his rage; no wonder Professor Chaos hadn’t committed a crime recently, he was happy, he was finally happy....

Kenny didn't deserve Butters; he never did. Kenny held Butters's face close for a second longer before kissing him. Tears still rolling down his eyes.

"I'm sorry Butters....I'm so so sorry....I love you."
