Another multi-chapter fic! Yay!

I promised Kenny/Tweek to someone, a long while ago, I'm reasonably sure...

Oh well! :D better six months late than never!

If you want to understand the chapter names I'd suggest looking up symbiosis on Wikipedia. Just a thought :)

Enjoy!

Chapter One: Amensalism

.

"Eight ounce house blend, please." Tweek glanced up and suddenly the whole world was in technicolor.

Kenny stood across the counter. As Tweek looked, a mischievous, shinning grin rolled across his face.

Tweek rarely twitched anymore, but he did now, the barest movement of his shoulders that was a shade to sudden to be intentional.

"Coming right up." he said quietly. Kenny nodded and reached into his pocket sorting out the right amount of change. He always had exact change. It was a testament to how many times he had bought it, but Tweek hated that he lost those scant precious seconds figuring out the change to give him.

It took too little time to make the coffee. The exchange of coffee for money and the momentary linger of Kenny by the counter to sniff the coffee appreciatively likewise lasted too short.

Tweek's nails bit another set of half-moon marks into his palms as he watched Kenny turn away. He didn't draw blood this time, he noted distantly.

"You um." He started awkwardly, as always. "Need a sleeve for that?" Anything to keep him a few seconds more, anything for acknowledgment. It had been that way from the start.

Kenny glanced back, a part of their routine.

"No thanks, Tweek." he smiled and for a second more Tweek wasn't alone.

And then he was turning away again, he was out the door.

In the warm, bright coffeeshop, Tweek was so, achingly empty.

Short first chapter is very short and also first. More of a prologue than a chapter, but I have a name scheme in my head to go with!
