Fight Together - Scutters

n i n e

Butters was dropped off right after Scott. He climbed out of Craig's car, giving him a small thank you, then walking up to the door. His heart dropped to his stomach as he looked at the time on his watch, he knew his dad was going to be upset with him for being out so late. He still slowly opens the door, hoping that his dad went to bed and forgot about him; sliding the door open and slipping in then slowly shutting it.

"And where have you been?" Butters jumps, turning around to face his dad, "It's midnight. What were you doing?!"

Butters backs up into the door, "Sorry sir," He apologises, "I just went out with some friends- I wasn't keeping track of the time-"

His dad shakes his head, "What have I told you about excuses, Butters?" He scoffs, "Go up to your room. You are very grounded." He snarls, Butters, sighing as he goes to the stairs, starting to walk up, "I'll come to check on you in a minute!" His dad shouts once Butters is at the top of the stairs.

Butters walks to his room, shutting his door behind him. He quickly changes into some pyjamas, then climbs into his bed; checking his phone soon after. He noticed that Scott hadn't texted him back, which only upset him a little bit. He was hoping Scott would want to chat for the rest of the night, but he may have gone to sleep.

The blonde thought for a second, before deciding to send a text to Scott anyway, something for Scott to wake up to.

Butters to Scott 💚

I know you're probably asleep but I just wanted to let you know I hope you have a great day and that you're doing well. You're a great friend! Thanks for being my date tonight.

Butters then rolled over in his bed after pressing send; looking through Scott's Instagram mostly. He didn't understand what the infatuation with Scott was, but something about the boy made Butters heart speed up in his chest. Butters loved everything about Scott, and he wanted to be there for Scott more and more. Ever since Scott almost died that day, Butters has wanted to protect him.

Butters then heard his bedroom door open, he tried to be quick to put his phone away; his dad, however, already saw it. "Why are you on your phone?" His dad asks angrily, going over to Butters, "Give me it,"

The blonde sighs, grabbing his phone from under his blanket and handing it over to his dad, "You're not getting this back for a week," His dad says, then walks out of Butters room, shutting the door behind him.

Butters rolls over in bed, a bit upset that he lost his phone. He should've been more careful about it. He ends up not being able to sleep that night, instead just staring out the window next to his bed. His mind wondered if Scott would respond to the text, and what he'd end up saying.

It felt forever till morning came, Butters rolling around in his bed, he couldn't stop thinking about Scott. He couldn't stop thinking about being next to him. He laid still in his soft bed under the comfy duvets, gazing up at the glowing ceiling. His alarm went off, and he couldn't be happier. It was a Sunday and there was no school, and Butters knew it was going to be difficult to get outside the house; however, he had already planned to leave and go see Scott. He wanted to be in his presence. He yearned for it so badly.

The blonde stood up, going to open his blinds to look outside. His parents were religious, he knew that they'd all go to church today, but he planned that right after church he'd make his way over to Scott's house. Scott never attended church, Butters wasn't even sure what religion the brunette was; his parents didn't go out at all with him.

Butters got ready for church; walking to his living room where his parents already were. He was the only teenager who still went with his parents, but he didn't feel like he had much of a choice.

As soon as they exited, Butters then thought to himself, maybe he could see Scott now, maybe he didn't have to go to church today. He was going to ask but knew the answer was going to be no. He was going to have to sneak away.

Once they arrived Butters waited for the perfect window. He watched his parents exit the car; even followed them inside. But then they both went off to talk to other adults. Butters quickly turned around; exiting the church. He then started to walk to Scott's house. His heart was beating faster than ever, the adrenaline from going against his parents kicking in.

As soon as he gets up to Scott's house, he looks around. Nobody even knew that he went astray or left. Nobody was following him; he did it. Butters then goes up to the door; knocking on it.

It took maybe three seconds, way too long Butters thought, but Scott then swung open the door. He was still in his pyjamas, a soft green sweater with some grey sweatpants. "Butters?" He asks, "What are you doing here? Why are you in a tux?"

Butters then looks down, he forgot that he was wearing a suit. "Oh uhm, I just got out of the church," Butters says, scratching the back of his neck, "I wanted to see you. I missed you."

A small o shaped formed on Scott's mouth, as he looked up at Butters, "You missed me?" He asks, sounding a bit shocked.

"Uh, yeah," Butters responds, "did you get my text?"

"I just woke up," Scott responds, backing up so Butters can get inside then shutting the door, "but I did see it. Sorry for not replying."

"It's okay, my dad took my phone anyway," Butters says, he then looks around Scott's house, "Where are your parents?" He asks.

Scott's shrugs, "I don't know what my dad does during the day, but my mom's asleep in her room." Scott then walks over to the couch, "Do you want to watch a movie or something?" He asks, "I can get some snacks,"

Butters smiles, sitting down on the couch, "It's up to you." He says, "I just want to hang out with you."

Scott goes to the kitchen, coming back with some animal crackers and sitting next to Butters on the couch, "How come you're so tall?" Scott asks as he looks through movies on Netflix.

Butters was a bit taken aback by that, he didn't feel like he was that tall. He was only the 3rd tallest in the grade, being beat by Craig and Kyle. "I don't know," Butters responds, "I guess I was the first one to hit puberty. Maybe that has something to do with it?"

Scott hums, "I mean, you're such a giant," He chuckles, "how do you move around without tripping over everything?" He asks.

Butters smiles, "I just don't think about it," He replies, "but how do you know I'm tall and you're not just small?"

"Well, I'm not small," Scott replies, "there are tons of kids smaller than me."

"There's also tons of kids taller than you," Butters teases.

Scott playfully hits him, "Yeah, I'm average," Scott replies.

"Eh," Butters responds, "I think you're more than average."

Neither of them had even noticed how close their faces were to each other. Neither of them even noticed Butters pushing his lips against Scott's lips.
