She had always been a pain to deal with... Rather often...
Always so loud and angry by most things in life.
This day, was rather unusual for the green puff.

She had stayed in her room for a while now...
Nor has she made any of her usual witty comments... For days, it seems...

"Buttercup?" she heard someone call.
She slowly turned her head to the door and hesitantly answered, "It's open... You can come in."
The boy opened the door and just stared at her... She was sitting on her bed.
Her dark raven hair hadn't been brushed in days, nor has it been washed.
He couldn't bare to stare at her in that state.

"What's going on with you?"
She stared at him coldly... "It's none of your concern... Brick..."
"You can't hide your feelings forever, you know?"
"I don't care... And you shouldn't either... I'm not special... So just stop worrying!"
"I can't promise that..."

Suddenly his hand took hold of hers and she was pulled towards him. All he could do was embrace her.
The comfort was inviting, not even she could pull him away.

"And why's that?" she whispered out.
"Because you are special to me BC... And I can't bare to see you unhappy." he whispered back so only she could hear.
"Then maybe you won't have to... Not anymore..." she said, quietly.
He simply smiled down at her, "I know..."

They hadn't the need to say, I Love You...
As it was rather clear..
All they needed was just a moment...
