Over Before it Began

Who's The Greater Sin?

Blossom led Brick out to the backyard. She needed to get to the bottom of his situation with her green sister. She did not like it one bit, someone was going to end up getting hurt. He was playing with fire and she could not believe Buttercup was playing along. She knew her sister truly cared for Butch, and she knew Buttercup had given Butch hope of getting romantically involved with him. Blossom now wondered if this is what had caused Brick to seek out Buttercup, before it actually happened. She quietly closed the door and turned to him "Mind explaining to me what's going on between you and Buttercup?"

'Damn! Straight to the point' he thought. Brick crossed his arms across his chest, putting on an innocent look "I don't know what brought that question up, Blossom, Buttercup is just a friend I hang out with from time to time."

Blossom frowned, he was actually beating around the bush "Hang out? To do what?"

Brick smirked "Talk about mutual interests, that's what most people do when they spend time together"

Blossom sighed "Look Brick, I love my sister, I do not want anyone or anything to cause her miserableness, you may not care about your brother..."

Brick grabbed her by her collar roughly, obviously triggered by her words "Look pinkie, you have no right to talk about if I care about my brother or not! You don't fucking know me! It is not your fucking place to be meddling in my life, I sure as hell don't have to explain myself to you"

Blossom pushed him back roughly "I have every right when it involves someone I love! Buttercup is my sister, and if whatever game you are playing affects her, then it is my fucking business" she was furious now "I would've thought that you would think the same concerning your brother, Butch"

Brick was getting exasperated, every word that left Blossom's mouth was like a punch to the gut. He did care about his brother, he would do anything for Butch or Boomer, hell, he would give his own life for any of them if it ever came to that. But things with Buttercup were just complicated, this is the first time he actually cared for someone, other than his brothers, and he really thought that it could become more than affection. Knowing that Butch was courting her upset him. He was actually jealous of his own brother, but he just could not bring himself to confront Butch about his feelings for the raven haired girl, he did not want to harm their brotherly relationship. He knew Butch, he was a spitfire when someone irritated him, just like Buttercup.

He would have loved to made some snide remark but just couldn't bring himself to do it. "Just watch it Brick, if anything happens to Buttercup because of you, you will not only have me to deal with, but Bubbles as well, trust me, she may be sweet and friendly, but mess with any of her sisters, you will wish you were never created" and with that she walked inside.

Brick took a deep breath, trying hard to calm down, he did not want to make a scene that would get the attention of Buttercup or Butch, speaking of Butch, Buttercup had dragged him upstairs to her room. He slowly opened the door, hoping Blossom had retreated into her room. He looked around the living room and when he saw no one there, he slowly made his way upstairs to look for them.

Butch was trying his hardest to concentrate on the game but sitting next to Buttercup made it impossible. He side glanced at her, to him, she was the most beautiful girl to ever exist. Her personality and the way she won't take shit from anyone is what caught his attention. She was frowning due to concentrating too hard and was biting her lower lip. He had been obediently following her request at taking things between them slow, but truth be told he was getting impatient. He had kissed her twice since he had talked to her about his growing feelings for her, but a quick peck on the lips was all she had really allowed him, making Butch feel hopeless about their relationship. Will he forever be left in the friend zone? 'To hell with it' Butch threw the controller to the side, startling Buttercup, causing her to look at him, only to be greeted by Butch's lips on her. His hands on either side of her neck to stop her from breaking away.
