Tweek and Craig were still dating to the rest of South Park , and still "just friends" to each other although most of their friends knew their relationship was just a rumour. To the couples relief the "oooohs and awwwhs" had worn off, luckily for them as they weren't the type to be in the centre of attention, especially for some stupid rumour.
It had been 6 years since all this shit began (Craig being 17 and Tweek being 16), to them it was just normal to hold hands and spend every moment together when they could, it had become more and more habit as the years past . Because of this the two had become increasingly close, knowing everything about each other the good and bad. Craig woke up to a good morning text (as Tweek had to have his 6 am morning "coffee") and Tweek fell asleep after reading a good night text (Craig didn't go to sleep until about 3am). They sat next to eachother when they had the same class, coudnt be separated at break, had sleep overs almost every week, fuelling Southpark's assumption of them dating.
Tweek Tweak was the shortest guy in his grade, still had his twitches and stutter. However, he had less anxiety and was also less paranoid (thanks to Craig) Unfortunately, he still got the occasional panic attack. His hair a shade unnatural highlighter blonde that looked like someone had rubbed a balloon on his head making his hair go all wild. His skin was spotted with bruises and scars from where he would whack his body parts against objects and furniture when he was having an episode or when things got too much for him in his head so he would turn to blades for a short release.
On the other hand, Craig Tucker was one of the tallest guys in his grade, Tall and lanky with the odd black eye and bruise, similar to his best friend (Tweek woudnt hurt a fly though). Unlike the Blonde he earnt his injuries from fights with people who pissed him off, he usually won but that didn't mean he could get away scar free either. He had a few piercings, a stud in his tongue and a few rings on his upper ears. He still wore a blue hat, it wasn't the same one he wore when he was younger because he grew so his mum made a new one pretty much identical.
It was another chilly day in Southpark. Patches of white gradually growing, hiding more of the Earth on the snowy day. The two hid outside the school under a shelter so they could cover from the frosty shower. Craig sat back down next to Tweek on the cold steps outside the door after lighting his fag . "man its fucking freezing" he sighed as he exhaled a cloud of smoke. "I-I know! I'm gonna get hypoth-thermia and d-die I swear!" exclaimed the shorter one, shaking more than normal due to the cold. Craig smirked, taking another drag "no shit, you're wearing a fucking hoodie and jeans…you idiot" ex-hailing once again he handed the cigarette to Tweek, his small hands felt like icicles when their fingers brushed together in the exchange. "w-w-well I don't know! My p-parents are way too busy to buy m-me shit you know that man!" he argued back. His boney hands shook so much that the fag end conveniently fell off by accident. He took a drag trying to steady his short breaths so he wouldn't cough, he only smoked when Craig offered him a bit of his fag, it did help him calm down a little bit so it wasn't just poising his insides for no reason. He didn't really like Craig smoking though he never said it to his face, he had to admit he did find it kind of attractive but he also didn't like the idea of his friends lungs turning black and tongue yellow and then dying of cancer. Craig tilted his head to the side to say 'fair point' he would give Tweek his jacket but he was freezing as it is. Craig didn't mind sharing his cigarettes with Tweek because he knew it calmed him down and it wasn't exactly chain smoking. He blamed Kenny for getting him addicted but he wasn't bothered about the side effects, it was something to do.
They both had feelings much bigger feelings for each other, they both had thoughts of each other, they both were awkward and they never showed it and never talked about it. Sometimes the question "so are you interested in anyone" had come up but both replied with "no not really" and after six years of the fake dating thing they weren't interested in anyone else but each other. Both of them did enjoy pretending to date when the fangirls girls were around because it was an excuse to hold hands or take a longer look into their eyes or sit closer to eachother. However, Tweek never thought Craig really loved him because he would of made a move sooner surely and Craig was certain Tweek didnt have feelings for him because of the same reason.
The blonde took a few more drags before handing the fag back to Craig, feeling a warm glow inside him when their fingers brushed once again. Craig stood up and walked about under the shelter a bit to try and warm up "fuckkkk" he moaned again about the cold, he took a glance at the shaking blonde wanting to wrap his arms around him to warm him up but that'd be too fucking gay and would probably make his friend feel more awkward and jittery. "hey Craig, wanna get c-c-coffee?" Tweek shakily said placing his hands between his skinny thighs to try and warm them up. They had another 4 lessons to go till school ended which meant 4 more shitty hours of sitting in a silent classroom full of morons. Tweeks parents were too busy to care about his attendance and Craig only went to school to hang out with Tweek anyway. Dropping the cigarette butt on the floor and crushing it under his black Doc Martens "yeah whatever" he replied before picking up his backpack and headed off with him.
