Stan Kyle and Craig all sat at the table in Tweaks Coffee shop. It was a pretty busy day and since there was no school they decided to just hang around till Tweek got off break so they could check on Cartman at the mayors office.
Ever since that fat fuck had gotten an assistants job there he has been making them all go and watch him at his GREAT job that none of them could ever get. Just a usual Cartman thing.
"So wheres Token and Clyde?" Kyle asked The black haired teen that was currently looking out the window with a bored expression.
He shrugged, "Probably off fucking somewhere. Ever since they realized their 'sexuality' they have been all over each other. God, i hope Tweek and I weren't like that,"
Stan laughed and took a drink of his black coffee, "Believe it or not, dude, you kinda were. I'm surprised you guys didn't last longer. I never thought Tweek and Butters would get together,"
Craig nodded taking a bite of his cinnamon roll, "Yeah... But at least the crazy psychos happy,"
Kyle shook his head smiling, "What happened to you Tucker? You used to be all emotionless, a 'I don't give a shit about anyone else but myself' kind of guy. What caused the big change?"
Craig shrugged once again, "Don't know, After Tweek I guess I realized I'd be lonely forever if I kept acting like that, so I grew up. So the fuck what?"
Stan grimaced, "No need to get all pissy Craig,"
Craig sighed and took another bite of his roll.
They sat in a comfortable silence till they heard the bell ring signaling someone was coming in the shop.
All three looked to the door through the crowded shop and saw a signature orange Parka. The person wearing it walked to their table confidently.
"Welcome to T-Tweak C-Coffee ACK! Sh-Shop! Gyah!" Tweek said from the counter. He greeted every customer.
"Mfft! MMffphtt mfttt pfftss," The orange clad teen said as he walked to the table his friends were at.
"Hey Ken," Kyle said tiredly.
"Mfft, gyaappts," Kenny replied with a wave.
Craig rolled his eyes and ignored the teen in front of him while Stan sighed frustrated, "Kenny, None of us can understand you with that fucking parka in the fucking way. Its getting annoying. It use to be easy to know what you said but its not as easy as when we were in elementary school."
Kenny just rolled his eyes and leaned back in his chair looking at them and said, "Pffft, mfft gaappt spfft tfffffpt."
Kyle sighed and looked at his friend with a tired look, "I don't even care what you just said. I've given up trying to find out."
Craig snorted at that taking another bite of his roll getting a glare from Kenny.
The teen hadn't taken off his parka in front of anyone but his family since the time he went to hell after the Canada war years ago. No one knew why. He had opted out of taking PE, and he didn't take it off at anyone houses either. He even slept in the damn thing!
Kenny sighed and folded his arms on the table setting his head in them watching the boring teens. After a while he spoke, "Yppft gffmts appt fpptt hermmpt!"
He sat up and leaned his head back looking at the sealing.
No one knew this but, he didn't take off his parka because he was self-conscious about his looks. He knew he wasn't super cute, or really ugly, or anything dramatically bad like that. But he knew that he was in the lower ranks compared to the people he went to school with. Excluding Eric Cartman.
He was afraid of what people would think if they saw his face. Would they think he was just some poor kid trash or maybe feel pity? he didn't like getting pity... Unless it came with money, then he was all for it.
He sighed and decided to try something, "Pfftiiin, happptff ftaap mffft mmmmuuurft, mffty? Pfffts, stmmmfft pfftss mffrrff, mttrrf pfft. Mfffrrrt pffts mffts urrf!"
All three of the teens looked at the muffled spoken one with confusion and annoyance.
"Kenny! I told you-" Kyle was cut off by Stan, "We can't fucking understand!"
Craig was silent this whole time and just watched the orange teens expression, or at least what he could see of any expressions. He could make out was his bright blue eyes and slight freckles on his nose and cheeks.
He saw Kenny sigh look at the table as if debating something, then look back up at his table mates with confidence and annoyance.
What happened next shocked not only the three of them, but everyone in the shop.
Kenny stood up loosened his hood pulled it down and said, "Can you hear me now!?"
Craig, Stan, Kyle, and not to mention anyone who could see the teen were frozen. They hadn't expected the usually quiet teen to have an outburst and show his face. His golden blond locks were covering his eyes as he looked at the table in annoyance. They saw flawless skin with a light layer of freckles on his nose and cheeks. He has a small nose and plump pink lips.
After no one said anything he finally looked up to look at his three friends who were still in awe. He panicked, threw his hood back on and left the shop as quickly as he could.
He walked down the street then collapsed and sat on the curb looking at the melting half snow half water on the road. He felt like shit. He knew he shouldn't have let his hood down. He didn't for a reason. Now half the town and school knew what he looks like and he is going to get hell for it.
Or so he thought.
"Kenny!" He heard behind him. He raised his head from his hands and saw three figures running towards him. He sighed and looked out to the street not looking at them.
Once they got to him they sat next to him in silence.
They stayed like that till the red head took a breath and decided to break the silence, "Kenny... We didn't know."
Kenny shrugged confused, "Know what?"
Stan looked at him. He had his hood back up. It wasn't completely closed so they could understand him. He had a sad look in his eyes though he hid his emotions well, "We didn't know that you were... THAT. Under the hood."
Kenny gave out a bitter laugh, "Of course you didn't. I didn't want you to."
"Why Kenny? Why are you hiding what you look like?" Kyle asked. He wanted to tell Kenny all that he thought but he knew that would have just made things awkward.
Kenny sighed, "I'm self conscious. I know I'm not ugly, but I know I'm not cute either. At least not like you guys. I'm afraid of what people will think of me and judge me. Well, at least more than they already do."
Kyle nodded sympathetically, while Stan put a hand on the blonds back comfortingly.
Craig snorted making the three others looking at him, "Bullshit. Kenny Fucking McCormick, I'm going to say this once and only in front of you guys but you are the hottest guy I have seen in this damn town. If you can't see that then just let people see you and they will tell you. I know that if you didn't wear that damn parka hood all the fucking time you would have girls and even guys after you from all sides."
Stan smirked, "Plus, we can understand you now'"
Kenny had tears in his eyes as he stared at his friends. He had such good friends, why hadn't he seen it before. Maybe they were right. Maybe he should show his face more. Its not like he was nine anymore. He was a seventeen year old now and he could do whatever he fucking wanted to, and people could go suck it if they didn't like it.
He smiled, "You guys are the best."
They all smiled and Craig helped Kenny up while Stan helped Kyle up. They said their goodbyes and Kenny walked back to his house. He didn't know what he was going to wear the next day because he usually is naked under his parka and snow pants. But he wanted to do something different.
The three teens watched at the blond walked away.
"So, on a scale of one to ten how was he to you guys?" Craig asked them.
Kyle thought for a moment with a smile, "A definite eleven."
Stan laughed, "Bms dudes, bms."
They turned around and walked back into the chattering shop. Everyone was talking about Kenny's revelation. They went and sat in their spot.
They sat there for a few second before they all looked at each-other, "Oh god..." Kyle said with a sigh.
"Damn that McCormick," Craig said resting his head on the table in defeat.
"I'm walking him to school tomorrow," Stan said taking a drink of his relatively cool coffee.
Kyle and Craig looked at him with jealousy in their eyes, "Then I am too," They said in unison then glared at each other.
Poor Kenny. He didn't know what he had just done to himself.
