"You guys ready?" I said with my keys in hand.
"Yeah," said Clyde. "So glad we caught a cab."
"Yeah," I agree. "Driving down here is some ass." I look at Tweek and he has this faraway look in his eyes that almost scares me. I lead them out the front door towards my Escalade on the curb. I click the button to unlock it.
"Holy shit!" exclaimed Clyde. "This is yours!"
"Yup," I replied. "Paid off too." I hope into the driver's side as they all get in, Clyde gets up front with me.
"Doesn't seem like your style," noted Token.
"I need it to hold my equipment from time to time," I explain.
"You should come back home and visit," he says.
"Ruby has been begging me to," I say rolling my eyes. "She just wants to brag she is related to Blu Electric."
"For good reason," said Token. "Have you been sending money to your parents?"
"Why you ask?" I counter.
"Your parents moved out of the small house you grow up in," stated Token. "I mean they still work but I know they can't afford the house they have now." I don't say anything as I pull off into the mostly empty streets seeing that it is late. I did give my parents money to help them pay off their debts but I certainly didn't buy the house for them. I have my own bills to pay let alone worry about paying my parents shit.
"I don't blame them for moving," said Clyde. "That house was falling apart. I'm surprised they were able to sale it."
"Me too," said Token. They continue to talk but I tune them out as I look at Tweek in the mirror. He is looking at the window for a moment but it's like he knows I'm looking at him. I see Tweek's eyes meet mine and I instantly become hot. I look away calming my nerves. I pull into the condo parking garage pulling into my assigned parking space. I know a lot of people would think why don't you get a house. A house is more expensive and more maintenance. I want less work as possible, a house is not that.
"How expensive is this?" asked Clyde getting out of my SUV.
"Don't worry about it," I smirked walking into the building. "It's only me and one other person my floor."
"That's it!" exclaimed Token. I lead the guys to the elevator that will take them to my floor. I'm close to the top being on the 25th floor out of 30.
"God you have to go this every time you come and go," said Clyde. "I don't know if I could get use to this."
"It's not so bad," I shrug. I feel Tweek's hand brush mine. I look at him but he is looking away at the wall.
"I own this side and he owns this side," I explain as we finally get off the elevator. My side is to the left and my neighbor is the right. I lead them to the main door although I could have taken them through the laundry room but why would I do that. Next time I will but not on the first time. I walk in and the entrance way is big. I mostly got the condo because of the location and I actually enjoy the city view. My apartment has no blinds or curtains except for in my bedroom. I have the electric curtains since the windows are ceiling to floor. Someone wants to get a peek at me they can if they have good zoom on their camera and if the building security will let them get close enough. "Guest rooms are to the right, you can sleep in which room you want." I head straight to my kitchen that is to the right before the hall that leads to my room, studio, and gym.
"This is so awesome," said Clyde walking down the hall to pick a room.
"Are you going to give us a tour?" asked Token.
"Not really," I replied shrugging. "Not much to see. You guys wanted to drink and catch up so here we are. I'm not sure what you guys want to drink though." My kitchen only has one row of cabinets. Not need to have more when I have this big ass island people can sit at which also holds the sink, that I actually like. Believe it or not I'm a pretty good cook. I don't want to mix liquors so I pull out my patron taking another two shots as Token makes his way into the kitchen.
"This is really nice," said Token. "I'm going to go look around." Token takes off in the direction Clyde went. Tweek is sitting on the coach in my living room just looking around from his seat. I walk over and sit on the sofa across from Tweek. His eyes are hooded and he looks completely out of it.
"Drunk?" I questioned.
"I'm not drunk," he said standing wobbly.
"I think you need to sit down before you hurt yourself," I said standing and walking over to him. I have an open floor plan but I don't want Tweek hurting himself more than he already has.
"You don't care," muttered Tweek.
"Damnit Tweek," I snap before he does lose his balance as he falls into my chest. His body is so warm against mine. I wrap my arms around him to help him stand up. I hear a moan from him before he mumbles.
"I love you and you left me alone," I feel my body tense up as Tweek stands up pushing me away. He is clearly embarrassed as his cheeks turn pink as he plops down on the sofa. I stare at Tweek wondering what the hell? He was in love with me? Is he still in love with me? When did he fall in love with me? My thoughts are interrupted by Token and Clyde coming back into the room.
"I'm so jealous," stated Clyde. "Where are the drinks at?" I'm still looking at Tweek with my mind spinning. Tweek currently has his eyes closed as if he is trying to sleep. "Craig?"
"I'll show you," said Token. "Should you even be having any more."
"Just one more," said Clyde. "So Craig you have a lot of people over?" I turn to look at them.
"When I feel like it," I replied.
"You must get so much ass," said Clyde pouring himself a drink.
"Yup," I replied. No need in my denying it. That is the one thing I like is I have the choice of who I want to sleep with, rather it is a girl or boy, some days both. Depends on what kind of mood I'm in. I sit back down on the coach as they make their way over. "So what do you guys even do for a living now?" Clyde laughs.
"Man you are so out of touch," he replies. "I work at the high school as a baseball coach. God those kids make me feel old as shit." Token laughs.
"Any mini you's running around?" he asked sitting down next to Tweek.
"God there is one every year at least since I started," he explained. "I deeply regret acting like an ass." I chuckle.
"I regret nothing," I state. "It is what it is. Token what do you do?"
"I work for my dad," he replies. "I know I said I would never do it but his job isn't so bad."
"You must get paid really well."
"Not as good as you but good enough."
"What do you do Tweek?" Tweek opens his eyes and shifts away from mine.
"I work at the tattoo shop," he says.
"Tattoo shop?" I question.
"Oh yeah," said Clyde. "One opened up a year or two ago I think."
"Like you ink people?" I asked. Tweek actually laughs at deep down I'm satisfied with that. At least he is not spitting venom at me.
"I work the front desk," he explains. "I wouldn't mind being an artist though."
"Really now," I say looking at him interested.
"Yeah," he muttered.
"He's done a few drawings here and there and started taking classes to become a tattoo artist I think 3 months ago," said Token. Token stops to think for a moment. "Yeah, it's been 3 months." Tweek nods letting Token know he is correct.
"How did you get into it?" I asked because I'm seriously curious. Tweek use to be afraid of needles but it seems he got over that.
"I was getting a piercing from Pete and they happened to be hiring," he explained. "It's no big deal.
"That goth kid?" I question.
"He's just like anybody else now but yeah," said Tweek slowly. I look at Tweek just all kinds of confused. I left South Park 3 years ago but I didn't think things would change so much. I mean everything in that town stayed the same since we were kids. When we were in high school they finally started to expand by building new shops, apartments, and new homes. Didn't stop my ass from leaving though.
"I guess I should visit at some point," I think out loud.
"You really should," said Clyde snipping his drink. "Like things around there at the same but not at the same time."
"I don't care about anybody really there," I said sitting back on my coach spreading my arms on the back of it.
"Trust me we don't either but we don't have a choice," said Token. "Bebe just moved to LA."
"Yeah she is some kind make up sales spokesperson or something," said Clyde. "You know our town is small so she had to move to expand her business. I wish her the best because Cali is hella expensive."
"I think she will do well," said Token.
They go on to tell me about how some our classmates are doing. Stan actually is a manager at Tweak Bros which surprised me. I surely thought he would be doing something totally different. Kyle works as an IT helpdesk person at the bank in town. Wendy relocated to Boston and is still in school for something I can't recall, I think Token said music therapy, some weird ass shit. Butters works at spa in town which I can see him doing so that works. Cartman is still living with his mom and not really doing anything, typical. Tweek wondered off at some point. I wonder did Clyde and Token notice at all.
"Shit," said Token looking at his phone. "It's like 6am."
"Man I haven't pulled an all nightery like this in a long time," said Clyde standing up. He looks around. "Where the hell is Tweek?"
"Probably in bed," said Token standing up stretching.
"Is he going to be okay?" I asked.
"He will be fine I'm sure," said Token rubbing his head. "God he has been a mess. I have to say tonight went better than I expected. After this weekend, you may want to put forth more of an effort in staying in touch. Thanks for letting us stay the night. We will see you later today."
"You got food here right?" asked Clyde.
"Yes," I reply. "How else would I be alive?" Token laughs as they walk off down the hall. I cut off the lights in the living room and kitchen before heading down the hall to my room. It's late as hell but I'm dying for a shower. I head into my room which is probably the size of someone's apartment I'm sure. I'm not saying this to be arrogant, I'm just stating facts.
My room my bed is the on the left wall with two nightstands. I wanted to do something different so my furniture is actually gray white color or I guess I could call it a light gray color. Makes me think of something you would see in a spa. Since I have a walk in closet I don't have a need for dressers. I have a small entertainment section set up across from my bed with a loveseat and coffee table in front of it. On the other side of the wall is my walk in closet, across from the closet is my bathroom. I glance at my bed and see Tweek in it. I walk over to see if he is awake or sleep. I can see him breathing. Yeah he is not sleeping in my damn bed with those clothes on.
"Tweek," I say loudly. Tweek opens his eyes and they look so glazed over. Is he high?
"What," he mutters.
"I'm not kicking you out but if you are going to sleep in my bed can you at least take your clothes off."
"I'm tired," he whined.
"Do you mind if I take them off for you?" I'm not playing with him. This is weird granted I now know he was or is in love with me but I won't be able to sleep knowing he was at the club and began rolling around in my damn bed.
"No," he whined.
"Damnit Tweek," I hissed. He slowly sits up pulling his shirt over his head throwing it at me. The shirt hits me dead in the face smothering me wih the smell of Tweek along with sweat and cigarettes. I grab it as quick as I can tossing it to the floor. I'm greeted with Tweek standing on the side of my bed removing his shorts. He went commando tonight. I swallow hard realizing he danced with me and he had no underwear on. I feel my dick starting to get hard. Tweek sits his naked ass on my bed removing his sneakers and socks. His clothes are now scattered all over my floor.
"Satisfied?" he asked rubbing his hand over his chest.
"Yes," I say lowly. "I'm going to go shower."
"Mm," hummed Tweek as he peeled back my covers and sheets. I can see the sunlight starting to come into my room. I grab my controller making the blinds come down before heading into the bathroom. I don't bother closing the door. I remove my clothes and notice my dick is full on hard now. I sigh turning on the shower water stepping inside. I love my shower in this condo. It's a walk in shower with a built area for you to sit. It also has a small window and two shower heads, yes I said two.
I wrap things up quickly getting out of the shower. I reluctantly pull out my hair dryer. Can't go to bed with wet hair. By the time my hair is dry so is my body. I put up my wet towel and I can feel my body become more tired by the moment the closer I get to the bed. I can see Tweek laying on the side closest to the door. I really want to talk to him but he looks like he is finally asleep. I pull the covers back on my side climbing in naked. I'm sure he won't mind, shit he's naked too.
I get comfortable on my pillow and sleep overtakes me quickly. That fresh shower took me out like a new born baby having their first bath. I'm not able to sleep as well as I want to as I'm troubled about Tweek. I know Token and Clyde can handle a lot of shit but not Tweek. He's the sweetest person in the world or at least he was. I awake some time later when I hear crying. I turn over and Tweek is curled up in a ball crying. Is he having a bad dream. I grab my phone off my nightstand seeing it is 9:28. I haven't gotten enough sleep yet that's for sure.
"Tweek, wake up," I say leaning over shaking him. He opens his eyes and he looks at me.
"I'm really here," he says softly.
"Yeah," I reply assuring him he is here. Tweek reaches his hand up into my hair playing in it.
"I like your old hair," he says. For the first time, I feel like I'm looking at the real Tweek.
