The List chapter 8 BUNNY

Butters has been missing all day, or at least that's how it seemed to Kenny. He didn't show up to any of the classes they shared together and he has yet to spot him in the hall way. Kenny wondered if he was upset about the list? If so then he was a little hurt. Kenny may not be a knight in shining armor but was it really that bad to be paired up with the likes of him?

And even if Butters is embarrassed is it really necessary for him to disappear like this? They were going to have a serious talk when he finally finds him.

It's not that Kenny was gay or anything, it was just that he liked to try new things. But he would like to know how Butters feels first before they do anything. They had been friends for a long time and he'd hate to ruin it just 'cause he was curious. Butters wasn't like Kenny. He wasn't the type of person to go out and have a good time with someone he doesn't really like, like Kenny does.

And as far as he knew, Butters didn't sleep around like he did.

He won't try to sugar coat it, Kenny was a proud man whore. Not that he's proud of getting so much tail, he's just proud enough not to hide it. He's not ashamed of what he does behind closed doors (Or in bathrooms, empty hallways, ect.) and he's not going to hide the fact that he does those things just because some other people may judge him.

So to clarify his opinion: He's a horny teenaged guy who was willing to try anything just once.

But he would never force anyone to try these things with him, that's why he would like to at least ask Butters how he feels first before he tries anything on him. Chances are he's not interested, or maybe he's even disgusted by those things. And if he is then Kenny won't push it on him.

'Cause that's the kind of guy he is, not a horn dog that tries to force himself on others like everyone thinks.

But if that cute little blond is interested...

"Hey Stan!" Kenny called when he spotted his friend glancing around the hallway, as if he were looking for something. "Lose something?"

The raven haired boy looked up and offered him a lazy half smile. "Hey Ken." He said and went back to looking. "More like I lost someone. I can't find Kyle anywhere and I've been looking all day." He told the blond. "Have you seen him?"

"Yeah," Kenny nodded and scratched his chin. "I saw him a little earlier. He looked like a zombie, man. All the color in his face was totally drained and his eyes looked dazed. And he kept mumbling to himself and didn't look up from the floor once, even when I called his name. You know whats up with him?" He asked.

Stan nodded acutely, his brows furrowed. "He's been like that since this morning. It's that damn list the girls made. They did this to him by matching him up with Cartman!" He fumed.

"Hey calm down man," Kenny tried to ease him gently. "We're all bugging because of the list."

"But Kyle is the worst!" Stan exclaimed. "He's so freaked out he went into shock and now I can't find him!"

Butters is the same way, Kenny wanted to say but decided against it since he knew it would just worry Stan more. He had his own shit to deal with trying to find Kyle. Kenny would just have to find Butters on his own.

"I'm sure you'll find him," he stated. "And I'm sure this whole list thing will blow over with in time. He and everyone else will forget all about it in no time." Kenny had to hide the growing doubt in the back of his mind. The citizens of South Park were always quick to jump to conclusions and make things a lot worse then it had to be. Not to mention that this has happened before...

"I hope your right Ken..."

Kenny then left Stan to continue his search for Kyle while he looked for Butters. The hallways were nearly empty now and Kenny soon figured that maybe Butters was in class or maybe even gone home early. Either way, he was bored of looking and he had to pee. So, after calling it quits and deciding to continue his search on Monday, he headed toward the bathroom.

But what he found when he opened the washroom door sent him into a state of shock.

"Butters!" He cried when he saw his friend sitting on the floor, his arm and both his hands covered in blood and a knife sitting on the floor. Dimmed blue irises gazed up at him, a ghost of a smile grazing those thin pink lips. It was a sickening sight, to see the happy-go-lucky Butters Stotch cutting himself.

"Oh, Hey Kenny." His sweet tone made Kenny's stomach churn.

"Butters...what have you done?" Eyes wide and brimming with tears, the poor blond shook his head in horror. Butters stared at him, dazed, looking almost confused. Then, he laughed. The boy was actually laughing after being caught cutting by his best friend.

"What have I done?" He repeated, smiling carelessly. "I'm just relieving some stress is all, Ken. Not all that big a deal."

"Oh Butters!" Kenny fell to his knee's beside the boy and swung his arms around him. Still smiling dreamily, Butters did not pull away or move in Kenny's arms. He allowed himself to be held by the boy he secretly had a crush on and gave into the comfort of his embrace.

"Don't you worry, Buttercup." Kenny cooed as he rubbed Butters' back in a soothing matter, though he was completely calm. "I'm going to help you through this, then you'll never cut again."

Butters smiled at this promise. "Gee, that sure is swell of you Kenny." He said and nuzzled his face into the other blonde's chest. "Thank you."
