Boy Toy

Chapter 12: The Agreement

Boomer's P.O.V.

I watched Butch and Bubbles walk down the street and my blood boiled.

"Is this what you wanted Brick?!" I yelled at him as I attempted to punch him in the face.

Brick blocked my attacks as he said, "Of course not! I didn't mean to hurt you, Boomer. Bubble is a sweet girl and I've liked her for a while now."

I growled at him, "So you decide to make a move on her after she's mine! And what about Blossom? What's your brilliant excuse for that?"

He paused for a second and so did I.

Finally, he shrugged, "She was just a summer fling. I don't know what to tell you."

I bared my teeth at him, "Do you even realize how much I lo- liked her back then. You know what, fuck it! I was in love with her Brick!"

I watched my brother's red eyes widen and his jaw drop, "Bro-"

I snarled at him, "Don't 'bro' me, it doesn't matter anymore. It took a while, but I'm over here."

Brick gave me a malevolent look, "Is Bubbles just a rebound girl for you?"

The very idea made me sick to my stomach. "Hell no! Bubbles is... I like her. I like her a lot."

Brick scratched his cheek, "Well then we have a problem."

I crossed my arms, "I guess we do."

Brick liked her. Butch liked her. I liked her.

"So, what are we going to do?" Brick asked.

I scowled at him, "We let her choose."

A ghost of a smile touched Brick's lips, "Fine by me."

I held out my hand and Brick took it and shook once.

There was an implied, 'Let the best man win.'

Bubbles P.O.V.

I glanced at Butch as we approached my door.

"Good night," I said, dropping his hand.

He cupped my chin and made my eyes meet his. For a moment I thought (hoped) he was going to give me another rough deep kiss, but he didn't. For a quick second, there was the light, sweet pressure of his lips on my cheek and then he was gone.

"Good night, Bubbles." Butch's disembodied voice echoed in my head as I walked into my house.

"Where the hell have you been?! Do you know how worried I was?! Especially after hearing Butch has been treating you like a fucking sex slave! Why didn't you tell us! Why did you agree to that in the first place! Oh, and did you get arrested?!" Buttercup ranted as soon as the door shut behind me.

Despite all the trouble I was in and the fact that I was under so much emotional distress I thought my head was going to explode, I laughed.

I laughed so hard I cried and when I started crying I couldn't stop. I eventually cried myself to sleep right there in front of the door.
