You And Me? Powerpuff Girls/Rowdy Ruff Boys

Chapter 14

Bubbles were getting out of the locker room after her cheerleading practice. She waited to be the last one out of there to lock up as her responsibility. She had a sad expression as she looks around the halls hoping to see Boomer. She sighed as she went to her locker to grab her book. 

"Hey Bubbles," Boomer came from behind her.

"Boomy!' She smiled as she turned to him but saw a small bouquet of flowers, "Aww Boomy!"

"Some flowers to my favorite puff," He chuckled but before he knew it, she pulled out a bigger bouquet for Boomer.

"Twinsies!" She said cheerfully as she jumped into his arms.

"Aww, your sweet," Boomer chuckled, "Bubs I wanted to ask you something."

"Sure!" She smiled as she stepped back to close her locker, "What's up Boom boom?" For the past week, she and Boomer have been officially on good terms. To keep their association a secret they have only been hanging out when they are completely alone so their siblings wouldn't find out.

"I know things changed from you hating me to..." Boomer began but couldn't complete his sentence.

"...things being different," Bubbles finished as they technically are not a couple as nothing was established since then. After they reunited to being good terms they were texting each other and passing out notes, barely being separable from the distance.

Boomer was sure of his feelings towards her but wanted her to have time although it seems really clear she wants to be with him, "Yeah," he then intertwine his finger into hers. Spark flew to immediately shock both of them, "Sorry," He mumbled as he seems to always not control his powers around her ever since she took off his bracelet.

Bubbles chuckled as she looked up at him. He had turned his face from her so she uses her free hand to guide him to look back at her, "Don't worry, I like it."

He smiled as he places his hand onto hers that was on his cheek and took a breath, "I really like you."

Bubbles' smile widen, "I like you too."

"I don't want to keep us a secret," he admitted.

Her expression immediately changed to be confused, "What?"

"Bubbles, I don't care what they think. My brothers knew how I've always cared about you and they won't stop me like in the past to hurt you. I don't think we should keep it a secret," Boomer explained.

"I...Uhh...Boomy... I don't think," Bubbles started to stutter as she began to scratch her head and look away. Ever since she and Boomer have been communicating, it has been the last thing she wanted to do. However, as she thinks about it she hasn't thought about how long she was going to keep it a secret.

"Bubbles?" Boomer asked to hope to get an answer.

"I... don't think it's a good idea," Bubbles admitted.

Boomer was confused as in their past Bubbles was always doing her own thing with or without her sister's opinion, "What do you mean?" He thought it would be like before when they were young and Bubbles was always making it known how she felt and defended her causes.

Bubbles looked at him knowing that he was confused. But she always doesn't want to repeat her past such as trusting villains and vouching for their innocence. Although she believes Boomer has changed, she doesn't want to be wrong and her sisters to be the ones who told her so, "I don't trust..."

Boomer didn't let her finish as he took away her hand from his, " Trust me?"

"No that's not what I mean!" Bubbles immediately try to stop him from jumping to conclusions but knew that he might be jumping to the right one.

"I'm doing everything I can to show that I've changed Bubbles," Boomer states.

"It's not that," Bubbles argues.

"Lies, you don't trust me!" Boomer starts to yell.

"Boomy please understand," Bubbles tried to plead.

Boomer just nodded as he went into his pocket to pull out the bracelet as he sighed, "I really thought you trusted me."

"I do!" Bubbles argue as her eyes widen realizing what she was causing. 

Boomer nodded as he put the bracelet in his hand. His fist clenched as the pain through him to conceal back his power, "You're ashamed of me." His eyes started to tear up, "I'm not afraid to be with you."

"No Boomer let me take it off," Bubbles said as she tried to his hand but he was able to dodge away from her grasp.

"Sure," he said in a calm voice as he stepped back.

Bubbles looked at him frozen in her spot as she knew there was going to be a condition.

"Just tell me honestly, "He says as he looked at her crystal blue eye. He wonders how can a girl with such innocence cause him this pain. He wished he wouldn't ask her this question, as he hoped that from him changing it would be enough. "Am I a danger to you?"

Bubbles lost her breath as she didn't expect him to ask this question. Technically when they were rivals she would easily answer it as a yes. But now as he asks this she knows the answer he wants to hear.  He wants to know that if he will allow herself to let her guard down with him. Since she removes the bracelet from him, she has been more on the watch for him to cause harm. Her heart race knowing what the right answer is as her heart flutters to believe him but her consciousness is confused, "I don't know."

"Then I guess that's my answer," Boomer shook his head as he dropped the flowers he brought for her. He wanted her to say no and that she truly trust him so he could express his love for her. But he knew the risk of falling in love was that she wouldn't trust him and break his heart.

"Boomy..."Bubbles call him as he started to walk off.

"See you around," Boomer sniffled as he looked away on his way out.

Bubbles wanted to stop him but she couldn't even move. As soon as Boomer was out of sight she fell down on her knees to cry into the flower he left behind.

Needed some blonde drama and my heart was broken. Sorry for being a cruel author today.
