Lunchroom Drama (PpgzxRrbz AU)

Day 14

Brick sat down, paintbrush tangled in his hair and colorful tape on his face. He nodded at Butch and Boomer then back to his sketchbook. He grabbed the marker and used his mouth to uncap it and started to draw. Brick doesn't know what he is drawing and didn't realize that he's drawing eyes. Not just anyone eyes.

Blossom's eyes.

He gulped, he can't believe that he is starting to fall for Blossom. Brick shouldn't be having crushes, he shouldn't even be thinking about this in the first place. Blossom may be different from Princess but that doesn't mean that she won't hit him. That doesn't mean Brick won't live in fear for the rest of his life.

He doesn't want to forever hate being in relationship. He hates flinching every time a girl reaches out to touch him. He hates flinching every time a girl raises her voice. He hates flinching every time he sees a girl get angry, or touch him or even show him a single bit of emotion.

Brick is just tired of getting hurt.

"Wow, who's eyes are those?" Blossom asked as she leaned over his shoulder.

Brick jumped, landing out of his chair. Blossom gasped as she tried to help him but Brick waved her off. Butch busted out laughing as Buttercup hit him on the shoulder. Brick took his seat back, getting a look from Boomer then he turn back to Blossom. She smiled as she push back he rhair behind her ear and took a seat next to her. 

"Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you." Blossom said.

Brick waved his hand, "It's cool. I was . . . I was really in my drawing."

"I see. Who's eyes are they?"

He shrugged, "I don't know . . . they are just eyes."

"Well, I think they are very pretty. I wish I could draw."

Brick smiled, "You can."

"Stick figures."

"That's still drawing. You just need to find your style, you know something that you like." 

She shrugged, "Dunno. I'm not sure if I really like drawing. I do like watching people draw but I hate doing the actual drawing part.

He snorted as he looked at her. She smiled, showing off her perfect white teeth, and looked away. Brick pressed his lips together before looking back down at his drawing. Blossom grabbed a piece of her hair and started to braid it as Brick glance over. He, unknowing, picked up his marker and sketch out the braid, on a new page. 

Something that Brick taught himself is to draw little things without looking. He looked and look down at his paper, staring at the messy braid. Brick gulped, not knowing how to explain that he just drew both her eyes and hair. Blossom wouldn't want to be talking to him at all.

Blossom sighed, "I know it sounds really lazy but it's the truth."

"I'm not going to say that it's lazy," Brick said with a smile. "I was gonna say that I could . . . could teach you."

"You want to teach me? Brick, I may be the smartest girl in school but that I doesn't mean I'm the easiest student to teach."

"Doesn't mean I can't try."

"You have no idea what you're getting into."

He shrugged, "Try me."

Blossom didn't say anything, instead she reached over for his markers. Brick breath hitched when her hair tickled his hand. He looked over and their noses touch. Blossom eyes widen but she didn't pull away. It was as if she couldn't pull away and Brick didn't mind.

For once he isn't scared, well he is but not as much, and he didn't pull away. His heart beat against his chest, reminding him of the first time he met Princess. She made his heart beat crazy like this also. She made him smile til his cheeks hurt. She made him laugh until his sides hurt. She made him scared of relationships. She made him flinch at every yell. She made him flinch at every hit. She made him flinch at everything!

What Blossom does the same?

Brick moved back, but forgetting that there is no back to his chair. He fell back, making everyone at their table laugh again, but Blossom. She frowned but held out her hand for him to take. He just looked at her hand. Brick couldn't take it, he didn't want too.

He took Princess' hand, now look what happen. Brick was slapped around but didn't tell anyone because boys are meant to be strong. He didn't want to go through that again. It doesn't matter how nice Blossom is, Brick isn't going to fall for it.

Not again.

"Why are you so nice to me?" Brick asked as he took his seat.

"Huh?" Blossom asked, shocked.

"You shouldn't be this nice. So tell me, why are you here? What's your deal."

"That's a little personal, you think?"

"Do you pity me?"

"What! No?" 

"It sure seems like. So why are you here, Blossom?"

Blossom frowned, "I think you should leave me alone right now."

"You and I both know that I won't. I guess you could say that I'm noisy just like Butch." 

Butch coughed, "That's a bit rude, FYI."

"Brick let't calm down." Boomer said as he put his hands on the table.

"No thanks, Hippie. I wanna know why Miss Goodie Two Shoes is here, at our table! So tell me, Blossom, why are you here?" Brick asked her.

"Lay off." Buttercup warned.

Blossom shrugged, "You don't need to know. It's my reason and not yours."

"Well guess how I got here?" Brick said with a glare. "I got here because I spray painted someone eyes. That someone was a teacher, instead of being charged or expelled, they decided to sit me here with you guys. Hoping to change my attitude. Also because they found out, Princess doesn't like to keep her mouth shut."

"Woah, you're the kid who did that?" Bubbles asked.

"Why are you here, Blossom?" Brick asked again.

"Stop it!" Blossom yelled as she stood up. "Stop acting like every single female is going to attack you! I'm not Princess, they aren't Princess! We're not Princess! I'm sorry that you were abused, I'm sorry that you can't trust anybody. But you should know that people actually like you and don't want to hurt you! Gosh, why can't you see that?"

Brick blinked. The two readheads looked at each other for a good minute. Blossom huffed as she turn to walk away. Brick turn back, he frowned as turned away trying to cover his eyes. But he felt everyone looking at him, even people a couple of tables away.

For the first time in his life, he feels regret.
