YouTubers | BUTCHERCUP

Chapter 5

Author POV:

"Hi~" Ruby smiled, waving at Butch. "Butch meet my cousin Ruby," Buttercup said, welcoming her cousin inside the apartment. "Sup, it's nice to meet you."Butch shook Ruby's hand. 

"You can seat on the couch." Buttercup said, closing the door and going to the kitchen to serve some refreshments. Buttercup could overhear Ruby and Butch chatting about the video they'll be soon doing. 

Buttercup walked into the living room with the drinks, placing them down on the café table. "Thank you" Ruby said, taking one of the glass cups. "I'm surprised I was invited to do this video with you guys," Ruby smiled, "Surprised? Why?" Butch asked.

"it's just... I didn't think Buttercup would be fine with me putting on makeup on her boyfriend." Ruby said, taking a sip of her drink. 

"No, no, no, we aren't dating, she's just my best friend." Butch explained, rubbing the back of his neck shyly. 

"Really?" 

"Yeah, we're best friends, I already told you." Buttercup said, and chuckled. "I didn't think you were serious." She whispered, staring down her cup. 

"S-So does that m-mean your single?" Ruby asked Butch, her cheeks turning a red color. Butch awkwardly laughed, "Yeah, I'm single." 

"Yeah and he said he isn't planning on dating." Buttercup join in. Butch and Ruby looks towards Buttercup, "Uh because he's busy with being a Youtuber of course." Buttercup gave a weak smile. 

"oh, that's right. I'm usually busy, but... I'll think about it." Butch shrugged, and took a big sip of his drink. Buttercup's eyes widen, and ruby smiled brightly. 

"That's great, well I'll give you my phone number." Ruby said, and took out a stinky note from his purse. "Can I have a pen Buttercup?...Buttercup?" 

"H-Huh, oh yeah." Buttercup took out a pen and handed over it to her cousin. Ruby thanked her and began to write down her number. 

Buttercup was so lost in thought, and kept her stare at Butch. Butch soon felt her stare and looked towards her way. He gave a soft smile, but Buttercup looked away and furrowed her eyebrows. 

An alarm startled the three of them, "It's time to do the video." Buttercup said, standing up from her couch and going to the camera room, setting everything up. Buttercup didn't realize she was mumbling until Butch spoke to her. 

"What are you mumbling about?" Butch asked, leaning on the door frame. Buttercup jumped at his voice. "Oh nothing, just a bit stressed and where is Ruby?" Buttercup asked. "She's washing her cup." Butch responded.

Butch stares at Buttercup, making Buttercup feel uncomfortable from his hard stare on her. "What's w-wrong?" Buttercup asks, "Nothing." He said. 

"I'm here~ I brought my makeup kit." Ruby shows both raven haired the pink box and ruby presses a red button on it, making it open up by itself." 

Buttercup and Butch look amazed by the pink box with full of makeup.

"Shall we began?"

"Alright that's all! if you like this video please like and comment on it, and follow if you want to see more videos like this in the future." Buttercup said, smiling widely. Buttercup turns off the camera and stares back at Butch and Ruby which were too busy flirty. 

Buttercup let's out a sigh and walks out of the room to go to the bathroom. 

"What's happening to me? Why can't I stop this horrible feeling inside my chest? It hurts me so badly." Buttercup hits her chest and looks down to the sink. "Don't let your emotions get the best of you, he can't know." Buttercup mumbled, and let her fingers run through her short black hair, pushing her bangs back. 

Buttercup washes her face and dries it with a towel. She needed to get out there, even if she badly didn't want too. 

Buttercup was surprised when she Butch standing in front of her, "What the hell?" Buttercup says, "Sorry, I got worried." Butch chuckled, Buttercup rolled her eyes and walked past him. 

"Your already packing up?" Buttercup asks, seeing Ruby putting all her stuff away and grabbing onto her coat. "Yeah, it's getting late and a Uber should be coming to take me home." Ruby smiled, buttoning up her coat. 

"Oh, alright." Buttercup and Ruby hugged goodbye. Ruby shyly waved Butch goodbye and left the apartment. The apartment got silent when Ruby left. 

Butch spoke up and suggested they order pizza, but Buttercup rejected it and told him she was too tired. Buttercup didn't bothered to glance at him and turn around to walk to her room. 

"Alright, let's talk." Butch said, "There's nothing to talk about." Buttercup said, walking to her room. "Yes there is. Your acting weird ever since Ruby walked inside the apartment, did something happen?" Butch asked.

"Nothing happened, alright? I just want to go to bed." 

"No, we're going to talk about it because I know if we don't, you'll be staying up all night with your thoughts." Butch said, worried plastered on his face. Buttercup cursed underneath her breathe for Butch knowing her too well. 

Buttercup turned around and faced Butch. "What do we talk about? It's not like I'm going to say something!" 

"Well you better! because I'm not letting you go to bed." Butch crossed his arms. 

Buttercup groan, "I don't know okay?! Ever since both of you guys began to flirt, it's been bothering me? I thought you told me you didn't want to date?!" 

"Are you serious? This is about your damn cousin? She was just giving me advice and suggestions what I should do in the morning for my face routine! That's all." 

"Well it didn't fucking seem like it! Plus didn't you say you'll be thinking about dating her? Isn't that the fucking same? As flirting?" Buttercup eyes would always show her emotions. 

Butch gritted his teeth, "it isn't the same." 

"Why can't you just see what I see? She was definitely flirting and trying to get all over you." Buttercup twirl her hands around, as if she could describe it. 

Butch furrowed his eyebrows, "So what? I can date her if I want too, and I'm fine with flirting plus she seems like girlfriend material." Butch said, Buttercup lips wobbled "But she isn't right for you!"        Buttercup says, her voice sounding annoyed. 

"Right for me? how would y-"

"BECAUSE I'M YOUR BEST FRIEND! I SHOULD KNOW WHAT'S RIGHT FOR YOU!" Buttercup yelled, Butch's hands turn to fists. "APPARENTLY YOU DON'T! WHY DO YOU CARE SO MUCH ANYWAYS?" Butch questioned. 

"I DON'T KNOW! I don't know... every time you mention some girl, my chest hurts and thinking it's fine to flirt with any girl bothers me! Like wow! Player much?" 

"I always been a player." Butch scoffs. Buttercup's emotions are bursting inside her and she just can't anymore.

"WHY CAN'T YOU SEE MY FEELINGS TOWARDS YOU?!" Buttercup yells, Butch's eyes widen. "Why can't you? Are you just playing dumb? is that it? if so, just tell me so I can do it too." Buttercup's eyes turn glossy. 

"I want to play too, I want to play." Buttercup lips wobble, "Buttercup," Butch says, his face expression showed worried, but Buttercup saw it as pity.

Buttercup lets out a sigh, "I really-" Buttercup lets her hand relax from the tight fist it once was. "I really am an idiot." Buttercup mumbles. 

"Buttercup, listen-"

"I'll be leaving. I need to be alone." Buttercup leaves the apartment and takes the stairs instead of the elevator.
