The rest of the week was the same for the boys and Craig just about had it. It was Friday morning and Craig woke up with a plan. He got ready for school and ran downstairs to eat some waffles with his little sister.
"You look stupid." Ruby said pointing at the blue chullo hat with the yellow poof ball on top that Craig always wore. Craig merely flipped off his sister, it was a daily routine in the Tucker household.
Craig quickly finished his waffles and met up with the gang at the bus stop. Token and Clyde were having their own conversation as always. Tweek was just standing there awkwardly since he never spoke. "H-hey, Craig" Tweek said. The dark haired boy responded with a quick glare.
"Hey, Tweek." Craig spoke softly so the other two boys didn't hear.
"Y-yeah?" Tweek stuttered out, as hard as he tried he could never speak normally.
"Let's ditch school" Craig said without looking at Tweek.
Tweek never ditched school in his life. He hated school but if his parents ever found out they would kill him. It's too much pressure for him.
"gah! C-Craig, I've never-"
"-you've never ditched school?" Craig quickly cut Tweek off. Tweek just nodded as he looked down. Craig just let out a small huff which formed a little cloud since it was freezing outside. South Park's temperature is the equivalent to Antarctica's.
Tweek really wanted to skip school but the pressure was killing him. "A-alright, I'll skip school with you just this o-one time, hng!"
Craig smirked slightly, "Alright". Craig Tucker was one of those boys who didn't speak much and would expect you to just follow along. In the distance the bus' engines were echoed through the neighborhood.
"W-wait when are w-we leaving?" Tweek quickly said since the bus was coming. Craig was just simply taking his book bag off and threw it behind the bush. Clyde and Token noticed but didn't bother to ask. Tweek looked confused until the tall boy took Tweek's book bag and did the same. "W-wha? Craig, I need that!-" Tweek screamed out as the bus drew near. Craig just put his finger over his mouth to signal him to be quiet. The bus finally got to their bus stop and the four boys got on.
When Tweek and Craig finally sat down in their usual seat, the background sounds were the same that consisted from Cartman and his gang screaming bloody murder, to Bebe and Wendy gossiping about the new trends or some shit.
"I'll explain later." Craig simply said as he looked outside the window for the entire ride to school. Tweek wanted to ask more questions since this was his first time but he knew Tucker wouldn't speak.
After a long ten minute ride, Craig and Tweek got off and went into the school building. Craig walked away where he met with Clyde and they both walked away. SHIT! Did he forget already?! "Craig!" Tweek screamed out. Craig looked back slightly and held up three fingers. What the hell is that supposed to mean?! Before he knew it the blue chullo hat with the yellow poof ball disappeared in the ocean of students.
The last bell rang as Tweek ran off to his first class. His short, bitchy teacher started to rattle on about how 'stupid' he is for forgetting his book bag.
If we're going to ditch why can't we ditch first period. I hate literature.
Tweek kept thinking about the three fingers trying to figure what it meant. He went on through second and third period. He never liked Spanish, he could barely speak English so this was pointless. He was trying to listen to the teacher talking about vegetables or some shit in Spanish. But he couldn't understand so what was the point.
He decided to not pay attention at all, so he looked around the room. There were a lot of posters that said things in Spanish. All he could make out was a poster with some girl that said 'Hola!'. He kept looking around until his eyes caught something by the door. There was a tall boy wearing a blue hat with a yellow poof ball on top.
Craig. Tweek raised his hand and asked to go to the bathroom. The teacher wouldn't let him at first since there were ten minutes left but he insisted. She let him go and he sprinted outside.
"Hola, como estas?" Craig said as he met with Tweek's eyes. Tweek looked at Craig in confusion, the tall boy leaning on the wall couldn't help but laugh.
Whoa, did he just laugh? Tweek's eyes widened. "Yeah, I have emotions too." Craig said in his boring tone as he stood up and started to walk towards the gym. Tweek followed behind him as they entered the gym, it was empty. It was usually filled with horny teenagers who smell like a sweaty gym sock.
The two boys walked out the back door from the gym that led to the outside field. As expected it was covered in snow. Craig grunted as he climbed over the fence. "Do you think you can handle this?" Craig said from the other side. Tweek blushed in embarrassment and furrowed his eyebrows.
"O-of course I can! Who d-do you take me for?" Tweek started to climb over the fence as he said "I beat you up in grade school, r-remember?"
"We both fucked each other up, equally." Craig hissed at him and started to walk away. Tweek laughed and walked next to the tall boy.
"So.. w-where are we going? gah!" Tweek forgot that he could get in trouble for skipping school. Boy, am I going to get it this time.
"I dunno." he said while looking ahead.
"What do you mean you d-don't know?" Tweek loudly said. "Fine, let's go to Stark's Pond."
They two boys were walking until they reached the bush near the bus stop where Craig threw their book bags in. They got their belongings and walked towards the direction of the pond. They both awkwardly walked together in silence until they reached it. It was probably around 10 AM right now, Token and Clyde probably assumed the two of them skipped school. Not like it would make a difference, they both barely talk to them anyways.
"So, uh, what do you want t-to do?"
The pond was extremely quiet, there was no one here. Tweek doesn't like it when he's in a quiet place. Even worse, he's in a quiet with a quiet boy. Tweek sometimes wondered why the two of them were even friends. They were polar opposites. Tweek was fidgety and had anxiety meanwhile Craig was quiet and calm all the time. It was rare for Craig to show any emotions whatsoever.
"Hm, we can just sit down." he mumbled as he pointed towards the bench. Tweek just followed his flow and sat down. Craig followed along and put his arm on the bench.
This is so fucking awkward. I should've ditched with Clyde or Token. Craig sighed. Tweek was fumbling around with his thumbs since he had nothing else to do.
Tweek was going to say something but got interrupted by Craig putting his hand on Tweek's cheek. Shit, not again.
The dark haired boy had done it again, he pulled Tweek into a second kiss.
What is wrong with me.
Craig blushed slightly in embarrassment as he pulled away. Tweek was burning compared to Craig. "A-again?" Tweek managed to say. Craig just simply nodded as a response. The pressure was killing Tweek. To hell with it! We're going to be awkward no matter what.
Tweek pulled Craig into another kiss. The dark haired boy went along with it and kissed him back.
He tastes just like coffee, of course.
Craig tastes like mint.
The two of them pulled away. Whoa, way to be awkward.
"Let's go somewhere else" Craig said quietly. Tweek just nodded as both of them started to walk. They ended up stopping at the movie theater.
"N-nothing scary, r-right?"
"I was hoping for some horror but if you don't want to-"
"N-no! I'm f-fine, if you want to then s-sure, argh!" Tweek tried to lie, he hated scary stuff that ranged from stealing underwear gnomes or things that would suck his blood.
Craig just nodded and they both bought tickets for one of the Scream movies. He had no idea which one it was but he was pretty sure they're all equally the same. Tweek bought himself a coffee, he really needed caffeine in his system. Craig bought a small popcorn bag.
The two of them entered the small theater room, there wasn't anyone there. This was worse than what Tweek expected. He's alone in a room with Craig who he may or may not like. And the cherry on top is that they're going to watch a scary movie. Both of them sat all the way in the back in the center.
The beginning of the movie was boring according to Craig, Tweek was already terrified. He was scared enough that he would grab onto Craig's arm whenever there were jump-scares. Craig would simply pat Tweek on the head and return to watching the 'scary' movie. Tweek spent which what felt like an eternity trying to watch Scream. Although most of the time he was either screaming or hiding behind Craig.
Craig found it somewhat annoying but mostly cute. He was probably going to have nightmares about it all night. They both left the theater and walked over to Craig's house. To Tweek's surprise, Craig's parents were home. Craig's parents shouted at him but he just flipped them off, his parents doing the same thing.
"D-dude! W-what if your parents, argh! Call my p-parents?!" Tweek started to babble on again. It's the one thing that got on Craig's nerves.
"My p-parents are going t-to kill me! I can't take the pressure! GAH!" Tweek was screaming by now. Ugh, I'm going to end up deaf.
Craig just put his hand over Tweek's mouth, now Tweek's screams were muffled out but it was close enough. All he did was pat Tweek on his head. "Shush"
Tweek was trying to say something but he sounded like Kenny only he stuttered, Craig took his hand off his mouth. He took a deep breath and screamed out "How can I-I calm down when my parents can find o-out!" Not this again.
Craig quickly locked lips with Tweek, placing his hand on his Cheek. Finally, peace and quiet. Craig pulled back and said with his nasally voice, "I'll get you coffee." He got up and left his room.
Gah! Why does he keep fucking doing that? Tweek brushed his fingers against his lips. Shit, I'm gay.
