I couldnāt sleep cause Iāve had this stuck in my head for 2 hours here
BC, Butch, and Boomer all work in a locally owned skate shop in downtown townsville
Boomer and Butch got the job together cause they found the ad and were like āoh hey we both skate- and we both need money- letās do itā
Bubbles found the ad and showed BC and BC was like āyeah sureā
they all got the job and when BC first met Boom and Butch she like lowkey hated them
she just thought they were annoying so she would avoid them at all times during shifts
until one day Boomer was like āyk what I wanna be friends with herā and forced Butch to help intercept her while she was trying to get as far away from them as possible
long story short Boomer somehow charmed his way into her not totally hating him and Butch, by association, became her friend as well
at some point Bubbles decided that she wanted to see what Buttercups job was like so she came to the shop
she saw Boomer and was like āah yes, Iām staying.ā
and now thatās Buttercups life
Bubbles is like a 4th worker who doesnāt know anything about the job and doesnāt get payed
she just shows all the costumers the stuff she thinks is pretty and whatever āmatches their vibeā
āyou have a dark academia care bear vibe going on, I know exactly what you should get. come with meā ābut Iām just here for new grip ta-ā ā-coME WITH MEā
Buttercup gave up a long time ago on trying to stop her
Butch and BC were still on the fence about each other even after the Boomer-forces-a-friendship-moment until the day that they both decided to stay after their shifts to clean
donāt ask me why they decided to do that just go with it
BC puts her earbuds in and BLASTS music and Butch gets curious so he asks what sheās playing
turns out they have the same taste in music
she unplugs the earbuds and they have a mini two person dance party to the low quality sound bass of Buttercupās speakers
from that point on their friendship was no longer just by work association
we will be adding some reds in here for the hell of it
Blossom and Brick run into each other at the shop on the same day
Blossom was there cause she was around the area and decided to check on her sisters
Brick was there cause Butchās car broke down so he had to give it a jump start
que the ~instant hatred for one another~
it changes pretty quickly but letās just say Blossom doesnāt appreciate loud arrogant men bursting into a public place of business and yelling for his brotherās to āget their asses out here so he can go the fuck homeā
Brick doesnāt appreciate people getting in his business
and as they fight Butch,Buttercup, Bubbles, and Boomer are staring at each other like
āso... thatās your brotherā
āyeah...and thatās your sister?ā
āwell... Iām sure theyāll warm (badum chh) up to each other eventually
(they do. it just takes some effort)
BUTCH WEARS STRICTLY CROP TOPS
at one point Mitch came into the store (for context Mitch is gay and he and BC are really close) for a new board so BC went to help him
and as she and Mitch were talking, across the room Butch had a d e a t h grip on the counter while he was glaring daggers
Boomer noticed and kinda looked at him like āššššā
which sparked a hushed conversation of Boomer trying to get him to admit he likes BC
he finally does and Boomer tells him that Mitch is very much BCās platonic friend and very much not attracted to women
Butch calms down but now he has to deal with the realization that he does, in fact, have a thing for BC
Boomer started crushing on Bubbles and unlike his sibling(s), he didnāt try to deny his feelings and asked her out as soon as he could
she said yes, their first date was skating (did i mention Bubbles roller blades? no? well. thatās a thing. my girl is apart of a roller durby team) through the park
and now Boomer and Bubbles are just kinda placing bets with each other on who will get together first, the reds or the greens
they also both agreed that when (not if, no they KNOW itās just a matter of time) the greens get together BC *will* be the one to confess first
BC is a graffiti artist and her boss gave her permission to make the front sign which 100% drew in so many more costumers
Butch, Boomer, and even Brick are all star struck at her work
random but Butch plays the piano in this AU
idk why but it just came to mind and now Iām never letting that go, I will die on this hill #pianoplayerButchsupremacy
when BC finds out he plays she spends 2 weeks trying to convince him to play Piano Man for her
he gives in and finally plays it, and thatās the moment she realizes her feelings for him
one day later, Bubbles won the bet between her and Boomer. the greens are officially an item
and yes, they were right, BC did ask him out first
anyways thatās probably all for now, I wrote half of this at 3am last night and the other half just now so sorry if this is a mess. I still want to explain the reds arc for this AU but Iām tired so Iāll do it later. hope you enjoyed :))
