Work Text:
Victor groaned as he hit his head on the table he was hunched over. He and Kenny had been working since 4:00 in the morning and he was exhausted. They had been working on trying to find a cure for Covid again. It was their normal routine they had been doing for 10 years at this point. They were slowly getting more and more closer to the cure that Victor could almost taste it.
Victor glanced over his shoulder and towards the shorter man that was also haunched over a table half asleep. At the moment, he was mixing two substances together to see if they created anything useful they could use. Kenny had a concentrated look on his face as he carefully measured one of the substances and tried scooping out the correct amount he needed with a teaspoon. The famous scientist had always been a hard worker. Victor admired that about him. Even though the shorter blond had gotten all his money from the NFT seller, it didn’t stop him from slouching back and living the cozy luxurious life he had always wanted as a kid. No, Kenny had devoted all his money and will to finding a cure to this virus that had plagued everyone’s lives. Working hard everyday to get closer and closer to achieve his goal. That’s why Victor had devoted his cash to him. That’s why Victor loved him.
Finally noticing how tired he and his husband both were, the taller blond decided it was time for them to wrap up and head home. Despite all the money they have, they both live in a small, one-story house. It’s a very nice, cozy house for them that doesn’t overdue it or feel too plain. The house also lived really close to the lab, so they didn’t have to drive far to get to work or get home from work.
Victor stood up, feeling dazed from not resting for the whole day. He wobbled over to Kenny and saw that he was about to slam his head onto the table from exhaustion. Victor then leaned over and rested his head lazily on Kenny’s shoulder. That jolted the rich scientist awake as he glanced over at his husband.
”Hey, Vic.” He mumbled out. The taller blond just grunted back. “You tired?” Kenny teased. Victor didn’t reply. “Want to wrap up and go home?”
The NFT seller nodded as he lifted his head up from the famous scientist’s shoulder. “Alright, let’s clean up.
After the two were done cleaning up the lab (bc I’m lazy), the two males went outside towards the van Victor had bought for them both a while back.
Since Victor was way too tired to do anything, Kenny decided he was going to drive them home. The shorter blond took the wheel and started a route back to their house while Victor practically fell asleep in the passengers seat.
After only four minutes, they had arrived at their house. Kenny shook his husband awake and they both staggered inside the small cozy home.
Kenny started to unpack all their belongings that they had decided to take from home to the lab while Victor headed upstairs to change and get ready for bed. Kenny headed up soon after, joining him in the bathroom as they brushed their teeth in silence. After that, they both changed into their pajamas and got into bed.
Kenny got in first while Vic went to go turn off all the lights in the house. He got to the bedroom to find his husband almost dead asleep in the bed. Victor chuckled at the sight and climbed into bed with him. Kenny reached out his arms to Victor’s side and pulled himself closer to his lover, burying his face in his chest. Victor reciprocated the action, wrapping his arm’s around the scientist’s torso and pulling him ever so closer.
Victor’s hands found their way to Kenny’s hair and he started to lovingly mess with it, as he liked the feeling of the dark golden hair against his fingers.
The taller blond also decided to wrap his long legs against his husband’s shorter ones, knowing full well that they were going to be a tangled mess in the morning.
The scientist fell asleep almost immediately, his snores filling the silence of the room. Victor, however, didn’t fall asleep as quickly. Instead, he was thinking. Thinking about the past 30 years.
Victor (or Butters) wasn’t a very popular kid. He got picked on. He got made fun of. And worse of all, his parents didn’t even love him. They were abusive and neglectful and they always grounded the poor blond kid, causing him to develop ptsd and some levels of tame anxiety and depression.
Butters and Kenny were just friends back then. Sort of. Kenny at that time hung out with Stan, Kyle, and Cartman. They were the four troublemakers of their time and somehow always got Butters into trouble. Though, he didn’t care. At least they somewhat tolerate him. Except for Cartman. The young blond didn’t realize it back then, but that fatass had used his naivety more than once for his own selfish gain. That was what got Butters into trouble most of the time. He later learned how much of an ass Eric was and probably still is. Hey, he hasn’t really seen him in 30 years.
Even though Kyle and Stan were sort of nice to him in some ways, Kenny was truly his best friend. Even if Kenny didn’t want to word it that way back then. From the Good cop and bad cop escapade, to the medieval roleplay they did, to the Hawaiian trip they took together, Kenny was always just the nicest to Butters. Because of that, the young blond favored Kenny above the others and it was no surprise that they ended up working as lab partners in college, even though it was dirtier blond boy who had asked.
From there, they’re friendship grew. They only had each other in this fucked up world and they couldn’t care less. That friendship grew into a more loving relationship and they soon started officially dating, then they got engaged when Kenny proposed (surprisingly, it wasn’t Victor who proposed), and now they were happily married and couldn’t be any happier.
All Victor had was his husband. And his husband had him. After all the hardships and tragedies they had faced throughout childhood, there they both lay now, comfortably in the arms of each other.
Victor glanced down at his husband and cracked a soft smile. There wasn’t anywhere else in the world he’d rather be.
”I love you so much…” The NFT seller whispered into his lovers ear gently. Kenny responded by burying his face further into the taller male’s chest. This made Victor’s heart flutter even more.
The taller male gently tightened his grip on Kenny and snuggled into his hair even more, slowly drifting off to sleep.
There they were. Two gay dudes snuggling right up on their shared bed. Tired but very happy. This was just how it was meant to be. These two by each other’s sides…
Forever and ever.
