They hadn't seen each other in years. Craig thought to himself. He took the next right and headed towards the large wooden sign that read; "South Park". He was shocked last month when he received the wedding invitation, but even more shocked when he got the e-mail last week. Craig was debating coming to this wedding until he got that e-mail. He entered the town, and was surprise to see how much things had changed. He left the town when he was 18 so he imagined after all these years thing may have changed. Craig suddenly clenched the wheel of his car a little tighter. What if Tweak had changed?
Craig and Tweak in fourth grade came out that they were "gay" and that they were "dating". It wasn't true of course. They kept up their charade all through high school. Then toward the end of senior year they decided to part ways. They each had a different path they were going and they no longer needed to pretend they were in a relationship. It was mutual and everyone was okay with it.
The two hadn't really talked since high school. So when he saw the email from Tweak saying they should meet up and catch up on old time. Craig was more than willing to come back and see his good friend. They after all did have a special relationship.
Craig pulled in front of Tweak family coffee house. It had grown and looked more impressive. Craig got out of the car and walked in to the café. There were cute girls working the counter.
"Um excuse me, but is Tweak here?" Craig asked the first girl.
She smiled and nodded. She walked to the back room. Craig stood nervously waiting. He walked around the café looking at its décor to not appear so nervous.
Craig all of sudden had two hands plopped on his shoulders. Craig turned around and saw a tall, thin blond man staring back at him. He had bags under his eyes from lack of sleep or too much coffee.
"Tweak?" Craig asked.
"Hey buddy."
The two gave each other a friendly hug.
"It's been so long. Let's catch up." Tweak mused. "Cathrine two specials for my table."
The two sat at a table. Craig couldn't stop staring at tweak. Sure tweak twitches and typical behaviors where calming down in high school, but now there was no sign of them at all. Even tweak hair looked good. It was still messy but in a trendy way, not spastic. He looked like he was doing better than ever.
"So how are you, Craig" Tweak finally asked and broke the silence as their coffee was delivered to them.
"Oh, uh good. After High school I went to that really nice trade school. I learned the basics in mechanics and got a scholarship to learn plane mechanics. I was working with this rich guy for a while working on his private plane. He died a couple of weeks ago, so I guess I'm out of a job. I'm not worried though the old man kind of left me something to hold me over while I look for a new job. I really did enjoy it though he would take me everywhere I really enjoyed traveling. Well anyway how…"
"That sounds really exciting." Tweak said listening intently to what Craig was saying.
"How have you been?" Craig asked taking a sip of his coffee.
"Well after high school I helped with the family business. I kind of took over. It was all I did for so long. I really was a workaholic. But I think my upward battle is pretty much over. My parents are down in Phoenix opening our 13th store. The stores can really operate by themselves now, I can finally relinquish my control a bit. Which is good because I really want to focus on me now. You know, get some hobbies connect with friends again…"
"Date." Craig said without thinking.
Tweak smiled. "Yeah that be nice."
"You in a relationship?" Craig wasn't sure why he was asking. He chalked it up as small talk and left it at that.
"No, you?" Tweak said looking at Craig.
Craig shrugged. "Off and on relationships…"
The two stared at each other for a bit. There was tension in the air.
"So… can you believe this wedding?"
"Who would of thought butters would be the first one of us to get married."
"Who else is going?"
"I heard our entire 4th grade class."
"Oh good."
The two shared a good laugh.
"So I was thinking we could take one car." Tweak said.
"You want to go together?" Craig asked.
"Well I think just having one car better, in case one of us get really drunk."
"You planning on something there, Tweak."
Tweak smiled. "We are going to be in a room with all of our old classmates. Including Cartman. I'm pretty sure the bar will be well used."
The two shared another laugh.
As Craig drove away a smirk ran across his face. Towards the end of his and Tweak get together Craig noticed tweaks finger tapping nervously. 'He's still Tweak.' Craig thought. Craig was heading home to his old childhood house. While he was in town he would stay at his parents' house. He pulled up to the house and wasn't surprised that it looked the same.
He knocked on the door and was instantly greeted by his parents. They did the typical small talk and guilt trips that parents do.
"I thought you were going to be here earlier." Tweak mom asked.
"Oh I stopped by at the coffee store."
"Did you see tweak?" His mother questioned.
"Briefly." Craig didn't want to be bothered about his supposed ex-boyfriend.
"He's done wonder to that old coffee house. He was one of the most popular people in our town for a while. Everyone talked about how good of a worker he was and how everyone felt bad about his boyfriend. He never got to see him because he was always working."
"Boyfriend?" Tweak didn't mention that Craig thought.
"Oh yeah sometime after you went to trade school, Tweak started dating… Now who was it? Some one from your school, I believe."
