Chapter Text
Butt-Head sat there in the auditorium picking a hangnail off the side of his finger. He sniffs looking over to Beavis who was tapping his foot having no real thought in mind.
It was their first year of high school, the principal and some of the teachers were up on stage. Welcoming the freshman into their new school.
The principal, who they'll soon learn, is 'Principal McVicker'. Tells the kids that now that they're in high school. They better start getting their life together thinking about career plans and the future.
"You'll regret it if you do it last minute." He says.
Beavis scratches his head turning to Butt-Head. "Heh he, hey Butt-Head. He ha..um...should we um..start doing that? Think of our future and crap?"
Butt-Head looked at him not saying anything for a moment. "Heh...no."
They continued to laugh to themselves and each other. They were young, when have they ever regretted anything in their lives?
Now it's their senior year, and boy they have a lot of regrets.
__________________________
You really change a lot in four years. Your 14 self and 18 self will be completely different in what seems like such a short amount of time. Even Beavis and Butt-Head can't escape change.
Physical change like puberty, their bodies have changed significantly. They grew into their figure pretty well. Their heads closer to normal size getting rid of that bobble head look; and while still on the skinny side they naturally bulked a bit.
Nothing crazy but Beavis commented how they don't have string bean arms and legs anymore.
Beavis saved up some money to get an Invisalign to fix his overbite. Thankfully it wasn't serious so it'd be fixed in 2-3 years tops. Butt-Head also went in to get surgery for his cleft lip.
It was completely free too, since they came into the hospital so often; the doctor offered to fix it for free if he let his daughter work on it for the experience. Thankfully it succeeded, sure the doctor lost his job for the recklessness but hey, it was free.
No skin off his back.
But it wasn't only their appearance that's changed. They don't know if it was the gods in the heavens that had something to do with this or they actually had a brain in that noggin. But they grew a few brain cells in the past 4 years.
Don't start thinking they're smart now, they don't think they'll ever achieve that title. But they were more aware of their surroundings and actually started thinking about the aftermath of (some) of their actions.
Many people will ask "what changed?" "When did you decide to turn your life around?" There will be no answer.
They just simply, grew up…
