Kenny's POV

I eat as I sit next to Butters in a small booth. We just sit, eating in silence.

"Uh... th-thank you for this." I hear him say. I look at him and smile.

"No problem." I say. We continue eating. After a while, I finish and look at him. He just picks at the little food he has left with his fork.

I made him upest, didn't I? I upset him this morning... but then again, I was upset too.

"I-I'm done..." He says. We leave the table and walk out of the diner. Eventually, we make it back home.

He sits on the bed, looking completely depressed. I shut the door and walk over to him. I sit beside him and put my arm around his shoulder.

"Talk to me. Please." I say. He looks at me.

"I-I won't tell you who did it." He says. I kiss his forehead and press my forehead on his. I look him in the eyes.

"Please... no one hurts my baby and gets away with it..." I whisper. I feel him tense up. "Please... I promise, I won't let him hurt you." I add. Please tell me! Please!

I bring my available arm up and ruffle through his hair a bit. He takes a shaky breath in.

"D-do-don't tell anyone, ok?"

He compromises. "Ok, I won't."

He takes another shaky breath. "I-it was..." He pauses. "D-dad..."

I feel my breathing just stop. His own father? Not even my dad, who's always drunk and yelling, would do that! His dad...

I take a breath, shocked that I'm not dead. I see Butters get upset again.

Without thought, I pull him into a hug.

"He... he won't hurt you anymore, I promise." I whisper. To my shock, he does nothing but hug me back. I grin a bit. "I love you." I say.

He doesn't tense up. He just sits there, in my arms hugging me.

I won't let him hurt you, and if he even tries, there will be something worse than hell to pay.
