"Stan, I love you. I've wanted to tell you for so long." He said, nuzzling his face into Stan's neck. He smiled as he felt a pair of warm arms wrap around him. He could feel the Raven's hot sweet breath on his head. Then he heard the magic words whispered in his ear…

"I love you too…"

Kenny McCormick sat up, rubbing his eyes tiredly.

'Goddamn it, it was just a dream.' He thought.

Really, it shouldn't have surprised him. Lately he had been having the dream more and more.

"Kenny, your breakfast is ready."

"Yes, mom, I'll be right there!"

With a groan, he swung his legs over the edge of the decrepit mattress, walking to his closet and pulling out his usual orange pants and parka. Kenny paused for a moment, thoughtful.

'No. Not today. Today will be the day I make Stan notice me!'

Throwing the orange pants back into the closet, he pulled out a pair of tight fitting skinny jeans and a white t-shirt that hugged his abs. He smirked. He would bet the little bit of money he had that no one even knew he had abs. He ran to his older brother Kevin's room, being careful not to slip and fall, killing himself once again. He really just wasn't in the mood to die today.

"Kevin! I need to borrow your comb and hair gel okay?"

Kevin muttered something along the lines of, "Ok, but I want it back dip-shit." Kenny went back to his room and carefully combed and styled his long blonde hair, something he rarely ever did. Walking into the kitchen, he picked his waffle up off the table.

"Thanks, Mom."

Carol McCormick gave her son an incredulous stare. She hadn't seen him wear anything other than his parka in years. She stood on her tiptoes and kissed his forehead.

"Have a good day at school, Kenny."

"I will. Bye, Mom, I love you!" He hollered back as he shoved his parka in his bag, and walked out the door.

Lazily, he trudged through the snow until he reached the bus stop where his friends were waiting. He took his spot beside Kyle.

"Hey, who the hell are y-" Kyle stopped mid sentence as he took a second look.

"Kenny?"

The sexy blonde smirked. "The one and only."

Stan just stared, mouth agape. "Dude! You look…"

"Hot!" Kyle interrupted.

"I was going to say different.." Stan murmured, his face tinted pink as he doubled over and threw up.

Kenny just smirked as Kyle started poking his stomach. "Since when do you have abs?"

"Since we were about twelve." He replied, still smirking. He desperately tried to hold in a laugh at his openly gay friend as Kyle poked his stomach again, then his chest, before putting both a hand on either side of his face and squishing his face in his hands, moving the blondes face around. Kyle shot him a suspicious glance. "Who are you, and what have you done with my Kenny?"

Laughing, Kenny turned and threw an arm around Kyle's neck. "Your Kenny, hmm? Who wants to know, babe?"

Kyle could feel his face heat up as Kenny rubbed his nose against his. "Hey, Ky?" He whispered, leaning in closely, so his lips were almost against his friends.

"Y..yeah, Ken?"

"You're blushing."

Stan's jaw dropped open again as he watched the exchange between his two best friends. "D…Dude!" He managed to sputter out.

Kenny winked at him and lazily took his arm from around Kyle, walking over to Stan, and leaning his forehead against the Raven's. He dropped his voice to a soft sexy murmur. "Awww...sorry, Stanny, I didn't mean to leave you out."

"K...Kenny?" Stan stared up at him in confusion.

Kenny smiled and kissed Stan's forehead. "All you have to do is ask, there's plenty of me to share" He winked again as Stan turned a shade similar to a tomato.

"Kenny, you're a fucking fag." Kenny turned his head to look at Cartman, who had just reached the bus stop. "Hey fat-ass." He said nonchalantly. "Ey! Don't call me fat you poor butt-fucker!"

Kenny sighed over dramatically. "Fine, if you're that jealous…" He walked up to Cartman and licked his cheek, laughing delightedly when the overweight boy flipped out, coughing and sputtering, wiping his cheek violently. "Ewwww, Kenny!" He screamed.

Kyle stared at Kenny. Something was up. Sure, Kenny was a pervert everyday….but today… it was somehow different. Kenny was being over the top. Not to mention he really did look hot, and was without his trademark parka, which almost never happened. "Kenny, can I talk to you for a second in private?"

"Sure, Ky." Kenny walked over to Kyle, who led him behind some trees where Cartman and Stan couldn't hear. Kyle laced his fingers with the blonde's, stroking the back of Kenny's hand with his thumb.

"So what did you want to talk to me about, Kyle? Is something wrong?"

"Kenny… you're acting weird. What's up, babe?"

Kenny feigned dumb. "I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about Kyle." He glanced back towards where Stan was.

Kyle looked at him for a moment then looked back towards where Stan and Cartman where. Kenny's eyes lit up as he looked at Stan, Kyle noticed, and they gleamed with something strange in them. When Kenny looked at Stan, his eyes softened, looked brighter, tenderness filling them. Then it hit him square in the face like a brick, understanding and realization dawning on him. "That's it... you like him. Why did I never see it before? You like Stan, don't you, Kenny?"

Kenny sighed, and nervously looked at the ground. No sense lying about it. Not to Kyle. After all, Kyle was the one person he told everything to. In fact, this was the only secret he had ever kept from the redhead, and to be honest, he felt awful about not telling Kyle about his longtime crush on their friend.

"Yes."
