'Butters,
Meet me after school by that little hill near the playground.
I'll be waiting.
- Kenny'

As the boy finishes signing off his name, he stares at his note. Heat generates on his cheeks and ears, his heart begins warming up as well. This has been happening for quite some time now. Every single time Kenny was around Butters, his cheeks flush the color of roses, his legs become wobbly, and his stomach was filled with butterflies. He wanted to find someone to cure it.

...

"Big bro, do you know what that means?"

Karen looks into his elder brother's cerulean eyes. Kenny shakes his head no. The young one sighs of disbelief, "Kenny, all these things you've told me, getting nervous, turning red, not knowing what to say to them when they speak to you.. These things are signs that mean that you likes Butters!" Karen grabs onto Kenny's orange jacket and shakes his shoulders.

... Like? As in like like? As in liking someone so much you want to be with them at all times? These questions were filling up into Kenny's mind, leaving his feelings in the state of confusion and bewilderment.

"Gee, Kens.. I thought you would know about this kind of stuff already!" Karen sighs and lets go of his brother's shoulders. Kenny sits there, still in shock, wondering what he should do now. "Karen, what do I do? I dunno how to get rid of these feelings." Kenny stares down at his hands, closing them and imagining Butters' petite fingers intertwining with his.

"Well big bro, from the books I read at school, the girl usually writes a note to the boy she likes, telling them to meet up somewhere. Then when they meet up, the girl confesses her love and they live happily ever after!" Karen cheerfully dances around the room, chuckles escapes out of Kenny's mouth.

"Alright, I might as well try that." Kenny ruffles his sister's hair. "Now, let's get to sleep before Mom and Dad finds out we've been up." Karen nods and goes up onto her bed. Kenny tucks her in, making sure none of her legs or arms are exposed from the blanket's embrace.

"Goodnight Kenny, and good luck!" Karens wishes her brother goodnight and closes her eyes. Kenny turns on her nightlight and flicks off the light switch. "Sweet dreams, Karen. And thank you." Kenny tiptoes out of Karen's room silently and closes her bedroom door.

...

RIIIIINNNGG!

Kenny blinks, breaking his connection from his flashback of last night. The school bell has rung, signaling all of students that it was lunch time. "Shit..!" Kenny quickly gathers his school materials, his note and gets out of his classroom.

Kenny speed walks down the 4th grade hallway, searching around for Butters' locker. After seconds of looking left and right, Kenny finds 'Butters Stotch' embedded into a silver plate, attached onto the locker. Kenny takes out his note and folds it into the perfect size for it to go through the locker hole. He slips it in and quickly walks away, hoping no one was watching.

Now all the little blonde boy had to do now is to wait until it was time for him to go up to his crush and spill the beans.

It was 3:32PM.
The boy covered in pumpkin orange rushes up the snow covered hill, footprints following him as he climbed up further. The clouds were blowing strongly, as if it wanted to blow the white snow resting on the tree branches and its leaves. Snowflakes fall, landing on Kenny's hood and some bits of his blonde bangs. As he reaches the top, heavy pants slips out of his mouth. He rests against the tree stumps, waiting for his loved one to arrive.

Butters stares at the Kenny's note as he walks up the winter coated hill. "What does Kenny needa to tell me? Why does he hafta to call me to the hill instead-da telling me during school? .. Is it somethin' important?" Butters mumbles under his breath. Butters' stomach begins to tense a bit, he doesn't know what was gonna happen. Will this upcoming conversation affect his and Kenny's relationship? Does Kenny not wanna hang out with him anymore?

As he finally gets to the top of the hill, Kenny pokes his head out. "Hey Butters.." Kenny gets up on his two feet and walks towards the shorter male. Butters blushes a light red, hearing Kenny say his name made his heart flutter. "O-Oh.. hiya Ken. You wanted to talk to me 'bout somethin'?"

"Yeah.. I just wanted to get this off my chest so it won't bother me anymore." Kenny clears his throat. Butters tilted his head in confusion, "Get what off ya chest, Kenny?"
"Okay so for these past few months.. we've been hanging out a lot and uh.. during those times, I've started to feel really weird." Kenny's tan cheeks began turning into a beautiful bright scarlet color. Butters tilts his head again, "Feel really weird?"

"A-Ah..! Not in a bad way or anything! I felt like, really happy whenever I was around you and uh.. I wanted to play with you all of the time and stuff!" Kenny looks down at his orange boots, too shy to look at Butters straight in the face.

Butters eyes widen, he wanted to say something but nothing came out of his mouth. "Ah.. I just uh, I just really like you and I wanted you to know!" Kenny shuts his eyes, not wanting to see Butters' reaction. The weights in his body were finally lifted.

Suddenly, Kenny felt arms around his upper body and smelt the scent of vanilla buttercream. Butters stuffs his face into Kenny's orange jacket, "I'm glad to know that we both share the same feelings, Kenny." Kenny felt liquid forming around the bottom of his eyelids. He blinks, the liquid began to make his vision blurry. Soon enough, droplets of tears trembled down his cheeks and onto Butters' turquoise coat.

"Aw, c'mon now Kenny.. Please don't cry." Butters giggles as he wipes away the tears. "Let's get outta this cold and get somewhere warm." The shorter boy takes the taller one's left hand and intertwine fingers. "You can come over for dinner. I know you're a real big eater so you can have as much as ya want, haha!" The couple walk carefully down the white slope.

"... So does this mean we're boyfriend and boyfriend now?" Butters asks.

Kenny looks down into Butters' grey blue orbs. He smiles greatly through his fluffy hood, "Yes." He then stares up into the cloudy snowy sky,

"Yes, it does." 💙💛
