Summary
     Bradley and Butters were Acountibilibuddies at a camp asked to make
     them straight one didn't understand at the time the other struggled
     and almost committed suicide over it. I could say what happens when
     they met again but it's so much more then just them meeting each
     other what happens when they find themselves.
Notes
     Hope you enjoy I'm finally able to write again and I felt like
     writing this idea I had. I hope to work on my other story now as well
     in fact I think I could get the next chapter up to tomorrow with any
     luck.
***** A New Grace *****
         I opened my eyes I mean metaphorically my eyes were already open. It
had been a short two months since I was sent to camp New Grace. I came back not
changed a bit. Graduation from camp I acted like I was though ashamed of my
thoughts. I can’t help though but remember my Acountibilibuddy. The one I had a
crush on at camp, but more importantly the one who opened my eyes first. His
name was Leopold “Butters” Stotch. Today I decided I would just tell my parents
I was bi curious … no that I was gay I would do it!

***
       “Mom dad I’m gay” I said quickly oh gosh I hope…. “Butters your
grounded” I heard from my dad the next minute and at that moment I well I just
had it up to here. “NO no dad no I’m not you you ground me for a lot but I’m
I’m not grounded for this! I’M GAY DAD AND I’M NOT GROUNDED “I said at the top
of my lungs and gosh darnit I didn’t mean to yell but I was just so mad.

       My parents sat there dumb founded, but dad didn’t say anything so I
think I won. This made me feel good. “Mom dad I’m gonna go out and play now” I
said as I marched outside with a smile on my face.
***
      Today was my first day at my new school…as the new kid and more
importantly at least to me a gay kid. My parents were mad wanted to send me
back to camp New Grace but, I stood up and told them no. That was some years
ago I was to be a 6th grader now at South Park High…I was very nervous. Mom
said I should bundle up so I put on an orange zip up coat and made my way to
the bus stop.
      It was cold in this town mom said she choose it because it was
isolated…dad said that too. Coming out pretty much destroyed their social
standing with their friends in only a couple of years. I finally get to the
stop on our street. I take out the black gloves I had in the coat pocket and
put them on. “its so cold” I said rubbing my hands together trying to warm
myself up.

     “oh hamburgers are you ok?” I froze hearing that voice and turned to the
right of the stop and couldn’t believe my eyes. He stared at me too and in an
instant had his arms around me in a hug. “Bradley I can’t believe it’s you last
time I saw you was at that camp” he said the last part with a twinge of anger.
     “Butters I hi” is all I could say I started to suck on my thumb a little I
may not say bible verses anymore but this habit I still have an do when ever
stressed or nervous. I could feel myself get warm and knew I was blushing he
was wearing a fluffy blue coat with tassels and fluffy white boots his hat was
a Hello kitty beanie. He smiled and giggled “well hi Bradley” he said smiling
at me and stood closer to me.
     “This is the first time we um can really talk…I mean since camp” I said
sucking my thumb a little. “Yeah I guess it is um I like Hello Kitty” he said
with a smile. “Yeah that’s nice” I felt dumb after saying just that I frowned
slightly and I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned and saw Butters smiling at
me. I could feel myself blushing again. I haven’t seen him in a long time and
yet I just I can’t help but blush.
     “It’s OK Bradley” he smiled at me I think he understood how nervous I was.
I smiled at him “thanks um when the bus gets here?” I asked him. He smiled and
said “well that really kind of depends but were here early anyway so it will be
awhile” “oh I um” I looked at the watch on my wrist and realized after tapping
it a couple of times it was broken…no wonder I was so early. Butters looked at
the watch too and smiled. He took his own off his wrist and put it on mine.
     “ahh butters” I blushed surprised at him and bit my thumb. “It’s OK Hello
Kitty can help you keep time today” He smiled at me. I smiled back looking at
the watch. It was pink, sparkly and it looked like Butters drew some hearts and
stars on the straps and colored them like a rainbow it was very very girly but
perfect. “Thank you butters” I said smiling. He smiled back “you’re welcome
it’s my gift to you welcome to south park” he said and gave me another hug.
***
     Well we were talking really good after I gave him my watch. I’m really
happy to see Bradley “that’s wonderful Bradley!” I said super happy for him. He
just told me he was out of the closet and has been since well well gosh since
I’ve been out just about. I noticed him shift his feet and suck his thumb .he
looked like he really wanted to ask me something and then it just hit me. “oh
Bradley I’m gay” I said smiling wide I was real happy about this have been ever
since I came out.
     Sure I felt “bi-curious for awhile and even thought maybe it was just a
phase but one day I just knew I was hanging out with Kenny one day and we were
sneaking dirty books out of store well we blindly grabbed and ran. I
accidentally grabbed a magazine with no girls that I was gonna toss but I
decided to just take a look just for the heck of it and well I ended up tossing
the others. I laughed at the memory and saw Bradley looking at me confused.
     I explained and he smiled. “It sounds like coming out was the best thing
you have done Butters” he said smiling. I beamed and said “yep sir it was!” he
smiled for a minute and frowned slightly before smiling again. Oh hamburgers I
think I said something wrong “Bradley you Ok?” I said putting a hand on his
shoulder.
***

     His touch felt so comforting I cried. I let it all out all that had been
bothering all that happened my parents reaction the schools reaction how I felt
scared about this new school all of it. He was holding me close as I cried.
“it’s OK Bradley it’s OK” he said rubbing my back his voice was so soothing.
“th-thank you Butters “ I was shaking so relived he raised my tear stained face
and wiped my tears away.
    “Bradley I’m more now than just your Acountibilibuddy I’m your friend” he
smiled and hugged me I hugged him back we stayed like that for awhile and when
we pulled away the bus came up. He got on first and turned around and gave me a
hand so I could jump up we both smiled at each other first day and I had a
friend South Park High is going to be the best.

Chapter Notes
     wow this one really has me going. well if I have the urge for a story
     i usually just keep going honestly at this rate I might have another
     chapter in a couple of hours.
See the end of the chapter for more notes
        Around lunch time me and Bradley were sitting together he was real
nervous so I had us eat lunch alone. Bradley came just near the beginning of
the school year so he didn’t miss much I’m real happy about him getting here so
near the start.“How are your classes Bradley?” I asked smiling at him. He
sucked his thumb nervously and said “their Ok” he smiled at me as he said that.
I couldn’t help but giggle slightly and blushed smiling at him.
        I saw he blushed back we sat for a little in silence eating. “Bradley
wanna do something after school?” I asked shuffling my feet under the table. He
looked at me and bit his thumb I frowned a little concerned. “Um well I would
love to but I promised my parents I would get home right after school” he said
frowning. I smiled at him “that’s OK Bradley we can another time”
        I told him as I took out a stray note and scribbled my number on it and
it handed it to him. He was blushing a whole lot as he took the note “thank you
Butters” he said sucking his thumb a little. “You’re welcome” I said smiling
wide at him.
***
        Butters gave me his number I kept staring at it as I waited for the
bell to ring. I ran my fingers across it ,it felt as silly as it sounds warm
“wow” I whispered to myself the numbers were so delicate and flowed his
signature was equally as alluring. “w-w-wow” I said putting my fingers over his
name it was in simple blue ink and written hurriedly but it was mine made just
for me.
       It was made by a boy too that last thought made me blush. The bell rang
at that moment I was on my outside when I felt someone walking with me I didn’t
hesitate to turn and smile. “Hi Bradley wanna walk home instead?” Butters said
to me with a smile. “Yes I’d love to” I said taking his hand I quickly let go
when I realized what I did and turned away blushing.
       “it’s OK Bradley” He said smiling taking my hand and holding it tight as
we talked together out the school and down the street. I noticed he had a tiny
bit of a march in his step he had his head held high. I decided to try to walk
like he did he noticed this I think and smiled.
      We were ways off from the school it was just snow and scenery we had a
sort of long walk I think I decided not to let go of Butters hand. He started
to skip a tad and I joined him we both were laughing when all of a sudden I
heard a rumbling and saw a flash of light I grabbed him towards me as fast as I
could.
***
      Bradley grabbed me real fast I didn’t realize till I heard it pass but I
must have been too close to the road. He held me close and protectively I
turned my head and caught the car speeding away. “s-s-sorry I didn’t see the
car” was all I could muster. “It’s OK Butters I’m just glad you’re OK” he said
smiling one hand on my waist and the other on my back.
      “I oh gosh” was all I could say I knew I was blushing hard after about a
minute we let go and continued walking hand in hand although I was stepping
closer to him. We walked talking about school for awhile till we got to our
street. “I hope we can talk more tomorrow or later on the phone” I said
blushing and smiling at him. “I promise I’ll call ahh” He said covering his
mouth blushing.
      “Well I promise to pick up when you do” I said blushing hard. We went our
opposite ways I was happy about to today and was really excited to get a call
from Bradley I raced inside and went up to my room. “I guess I should do my
homework” so I decided keeping my phone close excited for his call.
***
      When I got home I was yelled at…they saw me out there with butters I
yelled back shaking but I did it. I kept playing with the watch butters gave me
it was comforting. Dad took my phone away I cried softly as a tear streamed on
my face. For some reason keeping that promise meant a lot to me the fact I
couldn’t was hard. “no I I know what I can do” I said I may not be able to call
butters but at least I can do something for him I took out some art supplies
and got to work.

        It was early morning or late night point is I had hours before school
and I gosh well I was taking care of common morning problem. “ahh ahhh ahhh” I
moaned softly as I played with my bottom with one hand and tugged with the
other. I felt sweat rolling off my forehead I was so close. “ geee” I moaned as
I pressed into myself hitting my spot over and over again fast.
        I was exaggerating a tad though it felt good but nowhere near enough to
cause me to moan so fast. “ggeez” I said finally releasing all over my chest.
It was warm for about a few minutes but quickly grew cold I held my penis in my
hands feeling it vibrate with my heart beat. “heeckk” I said breathing slowly
as I sat up in my bed and hugged my knees to myself.
       “gee I wonder why he didn’t call” I said leaning my head on my knees. I
decided to cover myself up and felt my body go into a spooning position I took
one my pillows from under my head and held it close to me and smiled. “I’m sure
it’s all just a misunderstanding I’m sure he has a good reason he didn’t call”
with that I lulled myself to sleep.
***
       Today I had on ear muffs in addition to my regular winter wear I was
holding my gift to Butters close I saw him near the stop and couldn’t help, but
wave smiling. He didn’t see me. “Butters!” I yelled waving this time he turned
his head and beamed waving back. I ran up to him panting. “Bradley are you OK?”
he looked at me concerned. I smiled and held out my gift it wasn’t much just a
card …shaped like a heart decorated heavily it looks like a child made it and
not a teen though…
       “Br-Br-Bradley” he said taking it and gasping blushing very deeply the
look on his face was pure shock. “I’m sorry I couldn’t call yesterday I really
wanted to my-my dad took my phone I’m so sorr-“he cut me off crashing his lips
against mine I shakily put my arms around him. I want to be daring and hold him
close but all my courage was gone it was intimate I just held on for dear life
as we kissed.
       It sounds silly but this kiss I felt my knees slightly buckle when we
pulled away we were gasping for air blushing. “I-I-wanna do something
tomorrow?”
***
       “Yes” was all I could say I held Bradley’s card to my chest. I smiled
wide and told him I would be right back I snuck around the back of my house and
into my bed room and placed the card away safely before rushing back to the bus
stop. “Sorry I wanted to make sure nothing happened to it” I said smiling
taking his hand. “So um Bradley..What do you want to do tomorrow we have all
day” I asked blushing.
        He looked at me and sucked his thumb for a sec then said “I um actually
don’t know I um just know I want to spend tomorrow with y-you” he said blushing
squeezing my hand. I smiled at him. “Well that’s OK Bradley we can just figure
that out tomorrow” I said to him squeezing his hand.
        I couldn’t help but remember this morning and imagine if gosh I
giggled. Bradley looked at me questioningly saying my name “Butters?” I blushed
hard and gasped as he looked at me. “ohh Bradley I was just thinking about
stuff” I said looking away shifting embarrassed. He stared at me hard for a
minute then gasped as well I think he understood what I was thinking.
        Well gee this made me gasp again then we both laughed and giggled. We
both waited there for the bus talking small I couldn’t wait till tomorrow.

Today I woke up super early maybe…too early sun hasn’t got up yet. I couldn’t
help it Butters has me so excited my dad finally gave me back my phone. “Maybe
I could call him?” I asked myself staring at the phone. I was shaking one hand
holding the phone the other well I was sucking my thumb again.
I stop sucking my thumb and call I’m sweating as I hear it ring for a little
then he answers. “Bradley Hi” he said softly and sweetly. “I didn’t wake you up
did I?” I said sucking my thumb slightly. “No I was awake glad you called I um
was thinking about you” I couldn’t see but I’m sure he blushed after that.
“Oh OK um so did you sleep well?” I asked. “Um yeah I slept well” he said
sweetly. “Sorry it’s so early I mean it’s “… I blushed looking at the time and
stopped talking it was the hello kitty watch he gave me. “Its um early” I was
blushing really hard. “It’s OK Bradley like I said I’m glad you called” He said
sweetly.
 
***

“I’m really glad I did too I um really wanted to talk with you” He said and I
couldn’t help but blush. “Well um gee Bradley um wanna play 20 questions since
were both up anyway unless you’re sleepy?” I asked nervously. “That sounds
good” he said just as nervous. I couldn’t help but laugh and he did too I think
for the same reason.
“So what’s your favorite class? I I always liked art class” I said smiling. “Um
well I like biology it’s so um honest and clear cut” he said nervously. “I
understand it’s nice to learn something that is 100%” I said smiling
understanding. “ye-yeah” he said nervous but relived. We kept talking for
awhile about a lot of different things. “The sun is coming up” He said softly.
“yeah it is it looks really nice” I said looking out the window as the sky
started to change that magic hour when there are more than just blue or black
in the sky. “Wanna um go for a walk?” He said with a gasp. “Yes” I said
blushing. “OK um I um don’t wanna hang up though..I’m just gonna set the phone
down while I change” He said then I heard shuffling I assume he is getting
dressed. “Oh wow” I blushed and set down the phone also and started getting
dressed.
 
***

When I got outside Butters was talking to me walking to the bus stop I could
see him. “I guess we should hang up?” I asked him. “Well yeah I guess we
should” He said from a distance looking at me. We both hanged up when we got
right next to each other. I took his hand and we both blushed. “Um you ready” I
asked looking away blushing. “y-yeah” he said.
We started walking slowly looking at the sunrise as we walked. “Gosh it’s so
beautiful” He said staring. “Not as …ahh” I said catching myself. “Huh what
Bradley?” he asked looking at me. “I-I_I was just gonna say I know something
more beautiful” I said turning away blushing very red I know. “Ohhhhh” he said
gasping I looked at him and saw he put his hands over his face.
“br-bradley” He asked as I took his hands away slowly and shakily. I put hand
on his back and the other I held one of his hands. I felt firm happy and just
perfect I leaned in slowly.
 
***

The next instant Bradley kisses me softly at first then I I I oh geez I felt
his tongue hit my lips. I opened them slowly and felt his tongue crash with my
mine fast. I kissed back trying to match his passion but I found myself with my
knees buckling and and “Butters!” He said trying to catch me as I feel
backwards. I fell down on the snow he fell on top of me.
“Um I s-sorry Bradley” I said staring up at him blushing. “it-it’s OK “he said
pushing some hair out of my eyes. “It was you I mean-meant you’re so beautiful
more so then the sun” He buried his head in my chest then quickly got back up
blushing and gasped. “s-s-sorry Butters!” he said quickly.
I took Bradley by the arms and put his head back on my chest and smiled and
started to run my fingers through his hair and down his back and leaned back on
the ground. “I like you a lot Bradley” I hugged him close. “I like you a lot to
Butters” he said wrapping his arms around me as we lay there.

         We got up quickly giggling I felt so happy I held both his hands and
spinned around with him. I felt like a little kid even though we were older I
didn’t care. “Bradley!” He yelled giggling as I took him towards me and tickled
him. We are laughing so hard then stopped and still smiled and then we both
leaned forward as we kissed.
         “Let’s go” I said taking his hand and started walking. “Where we going
Bradley?” He asked. “To the first place on our date” I took him all the way to
edge of our street and stopped. Butters looked around and then at me. “What is
it Bradley?” He asked looking at me confused. I blushed staring at him I knew
what I wanted to do but I was so embarrassed and then my body did what I was
thinking for once I picked him up and carried him like a princess walking back
to the bus stop.
         “B-b-b-r-r-adely!” He said blushing hard and gasping. When I got to
the bus stop I set him down gently. “Wait right here” I said running back to my
house so fast I felt my chest pounding.
***

         When Bradley came back it was on a bike. “Get on “He said smiling
pointing to the handle bars. “I um Bradley we are a little old for that….” I
said blushing and looking away I was shuffling my feet a lot. “It’s an adult
bike I promise it will hold” He said smiling at me. I decided to get on we got
only a little ways before we both fell and laughed.
         We both took the bike back. “Well I don’t much about South Park
anywhere we could go?” he said looking at me. I smiled “yeah there is one place
we could go” I said taking his hand this time and walking fast with him. When
we got there I smiled and started walking to a bench.
         “This is Starks Pond it’s not big or much but it’s nice” I said
sitting with him on the bench. “It’s perfect…” he said shuffling his feet and
putting an arm around me blushing. I leaned on him and we both just watching
the scenery it’s oh gee amazing.
***

        As we sat there close to each other I felt a small wetness hit my
cheek. “Oh hamburgers it’s raining” I hear Butters say next to me. “Yeah we
should find a place to keep dry” I said taking Butters hand and started looking
around. I sucked me thumb as I looked. “There!” Butters said pointing to an
awning by a bus stop.
       We got up and ran to the awning. “Are you cold?” I said looking at
Butters. He was shaking a little. “Not really I’m fine” He said smiling. I took
my coat off and put it around his shoulders and kissed his forehead. “Thanks
Bradley” He said smiling.
      “You’re welcome” I said smiling back. I his face his eyes his lips…I
sucked me thumb turning away blushing super hard. “Bradley” I heard softly. I
turned back and felt Butters put his hand on my face. We both leaned forward
slowly our lips touched.
***

      This time I didn’t wait this time I pushed my tongue against his. Our our
kiss was pure passion hot and heavy. It was pouring rain a little ways away but
geez it felt like hundred degrees. I felt myself put his arms around him and he
did the same with me running up and down the small of my back.
      “Bradley-y” I felt his hands as well as um mine geez. Go to the front of
our shirts we both stopped kissing and looked at each other. Both our hands
were touching each others chests. We both were blushing hard looking at each
other in surprise I then felt a pulse I could hear his heart beat. “ahhh” I
said surprised.
      He then carefully took his other hand and placed it over my my my-y my-
y heart “ahhh”’ He said in response. We were both shaking but but I I just
“Bradley” I said leaning forward on his chest. “Today was amazing” I said as I
felt him put his arm around me. “yeah yeah” he said sucking is thumb slightly.
“it was” We stayed hugging like that till the rain stopped then we walk home.

See the end of the chapter for more notes
       Yesterday was perfect is the only way to explain it. I got up out of bed
and scrambled to get dressed. Today was perfect and nothing was gonna ruin
today. “BRADLEY!” I heard a yell from down stairs. I didn’t care I wasn’t going
to care. I slowly opened my door and made my way down stairs.

         “Yes mom dad” I said sitting down in front of them. I kept feeling on
edge but I was ready for anything they said. “Son we have heard some things
about you and the Stotch boy” He said firm. I stood up proudly and got ready to
talk.

***

         Yesterday was just the best just wonderful just perfect. I giggled as
I layed down back on my bed. “Bradley” I said like a school girl and giggled at
the thought. “He is perfect” I got up and started dancing around the room I oh
gosh I kept imagining dancing with him.

         We danced for a long while I just felt so happy but I heard something.

***

        I held my phone to my ear as I heard his voice. “Bradley hi good day to
you” He said in a sweet way. “Hi I …love you good day” I said blushing and
smiling. “I I love you to Bradley” He said sweetly even though I probably
caught him off guard and I can’t help it I have to again. “I love you Butters
…Leo”

       “Well I love you Bradley” He said in sing song way. “Want to um go
somewhere like right now” I asked sucking my thumb slightly. “yeah yeah I’d
love to but let’s talk for a little I just wanna if that’s OK” He said excited
then nervous.

          I laughed and smiled “Yeah I would love to I love hearing your voice”
I lay down on my bed and turn to my right I imagined I was looking at him. “OK
so first any dreams” I asked nervously a little. “Nothing I mean well nothing I
could say over the phone oh gosh I mean” He stopped then laughed I laughed too.
“Yeah me too” I said blushing.

         “Oh well how far do you get?” He asked nervously a bit. “I get all the
way” I said blushing hard and embarrassed. “oh geez me too” He said just as
nervous. “Yeah but no pressure I mean it should be like-“ “special” He said
interrupting me. “Yeah exactly” I said smiling. “So um in your dream oh
hamburgers never mind” He said embarrassed.

          “Its OK you can ask me anything” I said smiling. “Well I was just
wondering what um role you played.” He said nervous. I blushed really hard. “Oh
um I well I mean I could go either one I mean I oh um I suppose last night..” I
said the last part barely a whisper.
 
***

         “Oh r-r-eally well I mean I same I mean we were in the same positions
too” I said blushing really hard “Bradley ready to go?” I said blushing. “Yeah
I um just have on question” he said sweetly. “yes Bradley?” I asked. “Should I
I mean should I treat you I mean like a girl…” He said nervously. I put the
phone away for a sec and screamed “DAMMIT” into my pillow blushing and
giggling.

          I picked it back up “no no Bradley just treat me like you want to I’m
I’m no princess you don’t need to treat me any special way” I said blushing
like crazy.
 
***

          I smiled to myself and feeling confident I asked “can I still carry
you like one” I heard squeals as he took the phone away from his mouth again.
“I’ll see you in a little Bradley.” He said sweetly. “OK see you love you” I
said to him again. “love you too Bradley” I heard then we hung up.

       “So um did you hear about the um dance they are having at school” I
asked shyly. “Yeah I heard it sounds like it’s gonna be real pretty with lights
and music and a lot of decorations” He said as we walked down the street. I had
no real clue what to say how to ask him.
        “Um Leo, can I ask you something?” I said stopping and looking at him
blushing. “Sure Bradley” He said nicely but looking at me with a concerned
look. “Um I it’s nothing bad I just um I I the dance” I was blushing hard and
started to tremble a little. “Um I Leo can we go together” I said shaking and
sucking my thumb a little. Butters had both his hands in front of him and sort
of swayed like a girl it was nice.
        “I I would love to go with you Bradley” He said smiling still swaying.
“Great” was all I could say as I sucked my thumb slightly. “Something wrong?”
He asked sweetly holding both my hands. “no just I I never went to a dance with
a boy before…I um do I pick you up or do you pick me up um who leads I well I
mean I guess with our talk yesterday I know I guess mostly I um feel nervous” I
said realizing something I usually never talk that much but Butters he just he
is perfect.
        “It’s OK Bradley if you don’t know we can just meet there” He said
sweetly. I shook my head blushing. “n-no I wanna pick you up” I said smiling.
“OK Bradley” he said shuffling his feet and blushing. I couldn’t help but
giggle and hug him then I kissed him deeply. I pulled him away and smiled. “I
love you” I hugged him again rocking him slowly. “I love you too Bradley” He
said blushing.
        “Bradley” H e looked at me and continued. “it’s easy with you I feel
like I can be myself and you won’t make fun of me or hurt me or nothing …you
said the day we met again that coming out for you was hard” He paused. “Yeah it
was but, that’s OK meeting you was worth it.” He nodded and continued. “Well I
been picked on my whole ...Life classmates parents no one takes me seriously or
at least it felt that way or really cared so oh geez,I guess I’m saying thank
you” He leaned on my shoulder.

         I held him close smiling and spinned him around in my arms giggling.
It’s funny but I always thought Butters saved me I never realized I was his
Hero…”I will always support you” I touched his nose with mine and we both moved
our faces back and forth our noses rubbed against each other.
         I held him close and for a split second then more I felt the rain pour
down on us. “Ohhh” He said as it started to pour. We both stood wet in the rain
for a long while just looking at each other then smiled. “I love you” we both
said then for some reason we both started to dance together. I felt the rain
come down me it felt cleansing freeing I don’t know.
         “This feels nice” He said to me giggling. “Yeah I think so too” He
started to splash around in a puddle I joined him laughing along with him.
“AHHH” I said as fell down in the puddle. He got on his knees laughed and
splashed me as I sat down and giggled grabbing my hand.
***
         He laughed back then he splashed me I giggled too we were on a splash
fight I wasn’t gonna lose. We stopped and he just started staring at me. “What
is it Bradley” I said looking at me my heart beating fast. “Just you’re so
beautiful” it was so sweet but more amazing. I felt myself blush hard. “B-
bradley you just without being nervous or embarrassed” I felt my chest beat
fast as he launched himself at me and I felt myself on my back on the ground
and he was staring down at me his hands on either side of me the rain pouring
down from the sky around him.
        “I guess I just feel no need any more…I love you so much and I’m not
afraid to tell anyone..I told my parents I told them I’m seeing you..They
weren’t happy but I didn’t care Leo you OK?” He said but I didn’t realize why
but oh geez now I feel it. “I can’t stop crying I’m sorry” He leaned down and
kissed my tears as they fell and sat us up and kissed me deeply. I pulled away
“I I’m OK I’m just so happy” He smiled and said “I know I just wanted to make
you happier” and he kissed me again.
       We kissed like that close in the rain and stood up. “Ready?” He said
giving me his hand as we got up. “Yeah I can’t wait till the dance” I said as
we walked as he walked me home. “Me either” He squeezed my hand as we walked. I
had a dream just then ….one I’m not ready to share. Oh hamburgers I want it to
come true I never thought I would look so forward ahead but, I just had to he
really looks wonderful in a tuxedo….”were here” He said smiling and hugging me.
“Thanks Bradley” I said as I kissed him on the cheek and went towards my house.

         The two boys danced while the white light spinned in the center of the
room above them. Butters leaned into the neck of Bradley and whispered “I love
you” Bradley held Butters close and leaned on him back and said. “I love you”

A few hours earlier at the Stotch residence

***

        “Oh man where is it where is oh gosh darn it” I was looking really hard
Bradley was gonna be here any minute I needed to find my tie. Mom and dad were
surprisingly Ok they just said take care I took it as a good sign. “Here it
is!” I said triumphantly quickly tying it around my neck after I took a step
back and looked at myself in the mirror.

         I have on a white suit jacket with matching white pants and white
belt. I have a small purple flower in my front jacket pocket for a splash of
color with of course my white bow tie. My hair was curled and light blond
highlights a shade lighter then my own hair it made it shimmer. “Perfect” I
said running to the front door when I heard the door bell.

Back at the dance hours later

***

             Bradley took Butters with both hands as he looked deeply into his
eyes. “You make me so happy….I it’s crazy but I” He stopped sucking his thumb
and felt Butters pull it out of his mouth. “You can tell me anything” Butters
said as the lights went across him it made him look like he was covered in
stars. A celestial being to butters looked like to Bradley. It made him think
of back when he was devote how he recited bible verses he gave up a lot but he
could swear something right then.

            “You’re my angel….” He said looking at butters deeply. Butters
blushed hard looking deeply in Bradley’s eyes “that day in the rain I had a
crazy thought too” He said blushing. “Really you did?” Bradley asked as butters
squeezed his hands. “Yeah I did but I well, my thing is it’s too early and we
are so young so...” Bradley interrupted staring wide eyed blushing. “Me me to
my thing is also too early and were so young to talk about um” he stopped and
started blushing as he saw Butters go wide eyed. “Let’s just say it together Ok
just to say it and get it out there” He said looking at Bradley smiling and
blushing.

            Bradley nodded and then they both parted their lips about to say
their words. Things they were scared to say afraid to break this magic spell
they made. These were words that could change it all a first step turning into
a leap ahead.

Hours earlier at Bradley’s house

***

         I straightened my tie and looked at the mirror I was shaking I felt
myself just ready to fall but, I would not I would get on my bike, pick up my
boyfriend, and take him to the school dance. I would walk past those shouts I
would walk past the shouts of my dad and mother about me. I would not only walk
past I would walk with my head held high and I would leave them to yell till
they left for the night. They wouldn’t be back for a while….i haven’t told him
yet. My parents were going away for the weekend I had the house to myself and I
had told no…I demanded that I could have Butters over.

        The argument was long and hard but I had one dad and mom gave in they
still think I am bastaasstard….and would burn but I ddon’t care I don’t care!
“NO I DON’T” I said smiling blushing and walked out the door to pick Butters
up.

***
Hours later at the dance
***

      “I wanna marry you” “I wanna get married” Both said together and laughed
blushing and kissed hard. The dance was winding down and they started to jump
up and down and dance fast swing in and out of each other’s arms laughing the
whole time not caring who was looking. They ended up kissing a lot of times by
the last song they were walking out and Bradley turns towards Butters and stops
walking.

      “Butters I um …my parents are gonna be gone all weekend I wanna stay with
me?” Bradley said blushing hard as Butters laughed and hugged him quick. “Yes
yes yes absolutely yes” Butters said clinging to Bradley. Both boys laughed
again in bliss and started to walk hand in hand to their home at least for the
weekend it would be theirs.

***

And right before the dance

***

       “Bradley I’m so excited it’s gonna have streamers and lights and slow
dancing and punch and oh Bradley it’s gonna be like magic!” He said excitingly
I couldn’t help but to smile he was so sweet and wonderful. “I’m really excited
to I said as I gingerly took his hand.

***

       I blushed hard squeezing his hand. “I I thanks for picking me up” I said
stuttering a little blushing. “I was happy to” He said squeezing my hand as we
both walked forward and inside.
