Stan has always admired Kyle.
Even that day in Kindergarten when the red-head scuttled into the classroom for the first time Stan had looked up to him. He was so amazed and awed when the fat bully was finally stood up to by him. It was the day he finally saw his father, not as a superhero, but as a normal guy. It was the day he finally made a friend that he could worship.
Throughout his life the awe never went away but soon more and more emotions were associated with the undeniable loyalty. Sure it was fun watching as your best friend was awarded for being not only the top in your class but also for being the best athlete at your little hick school, but after six years it gets old.
He always thought Kyle was so awesome for being so modest and so kind and for simply being awesome. It always felt good for Kyle to pat his shoulder after a game, grin, and talk about how he thought Stan had been the best out there that day even though it was a straight-out lie. After a while though, it losses it's touch. It no longer feels personal and it only points out Kyle's good quality of not wanting to be mean or hurtful.
The day Kyle confessed that he'd loved Stan as more than a Super Best Friend, Stan's first thought was 'I finally have something over him.'
Don't get Stan wrong.
He's always admired Kyle.
But a broken heart sounds like the perfect kind of revenge for sixteen years of subtle kicks to the egotistical crotch.
'You're So Nice
And you're So Smart
You're such a Good Friend
I have to Break your Heart
I'll tell you that I Love You
Then I'll tear Your World Apart
Just pretend I didn't tear Your World Apart'
