BC likes a lot of things about Boomer.
He loves the way his face scrunches up when he laughs, and he can barely resist poking at it every time they're in the same room. It was nice.
When BC and Boomer became a couple, BC noticed a few things about him. He noticed how his beautiful blonde hair always looked more fluffy than Bubbles' stuffed octopus. He noticed how soft his face looked, as if all his worries would melt away just by being near him.
BC loved everything about Boomer, from his stupid laugh to the way he could take down ten men with nothing but a baseball bat.
BC loved it. It was just so easy to admire anything and everything about the blonde.
So, that's why BC developed a small habit. He liked to draw Boomer. He didn't want to seem like a stalker or anything—after all, there were plenty of people who drew other people—but, he figured it'd be fun to try and sketch some of Boomer's smiles.
The first time BC drew Boomer was during a study session, a couple of weeks after they started dating.
BC was bored, but he didn't want to distract Boomer as he was reading through multiple books, trying to study. So, BC opened up his notebook to a blank page, and started sketching the other. BC kept drawing for about ten minutes afterwards, until he realized he had drawn Boomer four times and only managed to get one decent drawing done. He doesn't know how he managed to make so many drawings in such a small amount of time. It seemed impossible. BC's attention was broken when he heard Boomer clear his throat. He looked up quickly to see Boomer staring at him with an eyebrow raised.
"You should study more. I'm pretty sure being able to draw isn't going to be on the test, hm?" Boomer smirked, and BC immediately felt embarrassed.
"I am studying!" he argued, slowly looking down. "..totally." He mumbles.
"What are you drawing, anyways?"
"Nothing!" BC blurts out, quickly covering his notebook. His cheeks started to burn. He knows he shouldn't have been distracted enough to let his guard down, but what he was doing couldn't be helped.
"Oh? Something tells me there is something."
"Not really." BC smiles nervously. He's still not looking at Boomer, afraid that he'll somehow catch him. But, of course, he did.
Boomer looks down at the notebook, and then back up at BC, who refuses to look him in the eye. "Is this... Is this a portrait?" he asks, voice filled with intrigue.
"It's none of your business!" BC retorts, masking his nervousness with anger. Boomer smiles, blushing heavily.
"That's me." Boomer says, grabbing the notebook.
"Dude!" BC blurts out, trying to take the notebook back from him. "Give it back!"
"Nope! This is too cute for me to return!" Boomer chuckles. BC tries to snatch it again, but Boomer holds it high above him, blocking his reach.
"You're a jerk, you know that?" BC says, crossing his arms.
"A jerk that you like to draw." Boomer giggles, staring at the notebook in awe. "I.. didn't know that I was cute enough for it." He admits, his face keeping a red color.
"..shut up." BC groans, burying his face into his hands. Of all the things he could've drawn, it just had to be Boomer, didn't it? He sighs in defeat. Boomer smiles, gently caressing the boy's hair.
"It's okay. You're my boyfriend. You're allowed to draw me because you think I'm the most beautiful man in the universe." Boomer playfully smirks, flipping his hair. "It's kinda hot, too."
"Don't call yourself hot."
"Aw, you think I'm ugly?" Boomer looks down at BC, slightly pouting.
BC blushes heavily, looking away from him. "Weren't you listening? That's not what I meant.."
"Whatever you say, babe." Boomer teases, pecking BC's lips. "Now, let's continue studying. The sooner we finish this paper, the faster we can go to your house and cuddle."
"Shut up." BC recrosses his arms, sitting down. "You got it."
-------------------
BC was in Boomer's room, working on an assignment. The stress was starting to get to the Puff, and he ended up snapping his pencil in half. He groaned in frustration, rubbing his head.
"I'm never gonna make this work!" He yelled. Boomer was lying in bed, reading a book as he munched on some chips.
"What's wrong?"
"My stupid paper! I've already done almost all the research but I still have no ideas on how to actually write this out, and--"
"Breathe, BC." Boomer placed a hand on his forehead, frowning softly.
"Sorry…" BC sighed, putting his head into Boomer's lap. "Just… stress."
"You're stressed? Well, that explains why you're snapping your pencil in half."
"Ha ha, very funny." BC rolls his eyes, smiling slightly. "But seriously, I need to relax.."
"Well, how about you.. draw me like one of your french girls?" Boomer smiles. BC smiles, slowly sitting back.
"I'd like that."
-------------------
Once again, BC was staring at Boomer. The blonde was laying on the floor, staring up at the ceiling. His hair was messy from where he'd been laying for a long while. His eyes were closed, which made him look calm.
BC liked drawing him like this. He thought it was cute, actually. Boomer always seemed so peaceful, even if he was angry or upset.
BC wanted to capture that. He wants to capture Boomer.
"Hey," BC starts, breaking the silence. "Do you remember that day that we met?"
Boomer turns his head, opening his eyes slightly. "The day we met?" He asks, slightly furrowing his brows until his face softens. "Oh, yeah. The day we met."
"Yeah. We were five, and we hated each other." BC snickers softly, leaning closer to Boomer.
"Yeah, and then we didn't see each other for seven years, then your sister became my soulmate, and then you became BC after hating me for four more years, then we grew close.." Boomer smiles softly, resting his chin in his palms. He stares at BC, eyes soft and loving. "Then we fell in love."
"We definitely did." BC agrees, grinning sheepishly. "And now we're dating, and I wanna do more stuff like this with you."
"Like..?"
"Uh… kissing you?" BC suggests.
"Hm... that is what people do when they date." Boomer nods slowly, thinking carefully.
BC laughs at his statement.
"You're a fucking idiot, man."
"I know. Brick has told me that more than once." Boomer shrugs.
"Yeah, yeah. Now, hush. I want to finish this drawing." BC demands. Boomer pouts a little before nodding in agreement and closing his eyes again. BC stares at him, biting his lower lip in concentration.
----------------------
Boomer stared curiously at the piece of paper.
"Damn, you're amazing at capturing my beautiful face." Boomer comments. BC grins.
"I don't know.. I think I could do better, though." He responds. Boomer raises an eyebrow.
"Really? What could you possibly do better?"
BC shrugs. "I dunno." He looks down.
Boomer sits up, staring at BC intently.
"Well, I don't care. I think it's perfect." The blonde leans forward, gently kissing him on the forehead. BC stares at him, blushing heavily, pulling him into a hug.
"Thanks, Boomer." He whispers, pressing his face into the crook of Boomer's neck. Boomer hums happily, wrapping his arms around BC.
"No problem, BC." Boomer breaks the hug, staring at him.
"I'm bored again." BC immediately complains, making Boomer frown.
"You've only been here for twenty minutes.. and you've already complained twice."
"Yeah, well.. I'm just really sick and tired of school." BC sighs, crossing his arms. Boomer scoots closer to him, smiling softly.
"Come here." He says softly, pulling the smaller boy onto his lap. BC melts into his embrace, smiling fondly. They sit in silence for awhile before Boomer finally speaks up again.
"Hey, BC?"
"Yes, love?"
"Can you kiss me like one of your french girls?"
Boomer smirks, wiggling his eyebrows playfully.
"Fuck, you're a dork." BC laughs lightly, shaking his head. "Fine, and I promise I'll treat you right." He smirks. He slowly leans closer towards
Boomer, gently connecting their lips together. BC smiles into the kiss, wrapping his arms around his neck. Boomer places his hands on the boy's waist, pulling him closer. They deepen the kiss, and BC gently runs his hands along Boomer's shoulders and neck, earning a small moan from the blonde.
BC pulls away from the kiss, gazing at him through half lidded eyes. Boomer's lips are parted slightly, glistening with saliva. His cheeks flushed red from arousal, pupils dilated as his heart pounded loudly against his chest.
"God.. you're so beautiful." BC says breathlessly.
Boomer's face reddens even more, a shy smile forming on his face.
"Thank you.." He mutters, pulling the other boy's head closer to his own. "I love you."
"Love you too, baby." BC replies, nuzzling his nose against Boomer's.
