The halls of South Park Highschool were echoing with deafening chatter and excitement rolled off the student body in waves. Word was being spread that Token was throwing a party at his home this weekend, it spread through the school like wildfire igniting a flame of passion within a certain stoic boy who was currently swerving his way through the halls to get to lunch. He pushed the doors to the cafeteria with fervor. He determinedly made his way to Stan's table and didn't ask before taking a seat next to Stan who was startled by the sudden presence near him. Craig nodded towards Kenny, kenny gave a nod back and grinned devilishly towards Stan. Stan's eyebrow raised in suspicion but snapped his attention back to the one who's been plaguing his thoughts for a week now.

"Marsh are you going to Token's party tonight?"

With a shrug of his shoulders stan answered "I'm not even sure if I'm invited. I know Kyle and Kenny are going though."

" If you want I can pick you up and take you to the party in my car." Craig said almost immediately.

"That sounds great, Thanks Craig!"

Craig nodded then left to sit with his friends. Kenny looked at stan still holding that shit eating grin of his "Stan is your car broke or something?"

"Fuck off Kenny." Stan emptily insulted with flushed cheeks.

…

Craig pulled up in front of stan's house and got out of his car to go knock on the door. Sharon answered the door and greeted him with a smile.

"Hi Craig, Stan will be down in a minute."

Not a minute later did Stan appear at the doorway looking pretty fucking fantastic. Craig let his eyes linger on Stan admiring how cute he looked. Stan was wearing classic blue jeans a black t-shirt that was fitted to perfection and his own classic brown sweater. He forgot his hat though giving Craig an opportunity to ruffle Stan's black hair. Stan shied away his face becoming a bright pink in the sharp wintery air. Craig's throat rumbled with a quiet chuckle. Craig walked ahead of Stan to open the passenger door for him.

"I feel like I'm being courted or something." Stan said smiling.

"Get in M'lady."

Stan raised his middle finger towards Craig playfully and Craig returned it happily, the corners of his mouth turned upwards into a smirk that made Stan's legs feel like jelly. In the car Craig put a cd into the cd player. Stan was pleased with the music that reached his ears and began to tap his finger to the beat of the song. Craig took pride in picking out music he thought Stan would like.

"You like The XX?" he asked stan.

" Yeah! I really like them their music is just so calming. What about you?"

" It doesn't really matter to me as long as its not country."

They both relished in the silence that grew, both happy to be in the other's presence but both were unknowing of said happiness.

The car pulled up to Token's large mansion of a house and they could already hear music blaring from the home. Craig parked his car then rushed to the other side of the car to meet Stan, they shared a quick smile before walking to the entrance. Craig had planned to spend most of the night with Stan but as soon as he entered he was pried away from the now confused teen.

"Craig! Token and Tweek are outside we have something to talk about!" Clyde yelled over the music.

Stan was still at the doorway when Kenny pulled him into the crowd and led Stan by the wrist into token's luxurious kitchen.

"Did your date ditch you already?" kenny teased flashing a toothy grin.

Stan became frigid at the word "date" his complexion matched the plastic red cups that were being distributed throughout the entire party. Stan knew that Kenny was merely teasing him, but his words made Stan think.

Do i like Craig? Not just like him, but like like him?

Gender had never been a problem for Stan but this was Craig he was crushing on. Craig to him was a wild card, he was just starting to get along normally with the seemingly emotionless bastard. To start developing romantic feelings towards him would ruin his chances of ever getting along with Craig. Too risky.

Kenny nudged at Stan's shoulder and handed him a plastic red cup. Stan held up his hands and shook his head.

"No thanks man I don't drink anymore."

…

Meanwhile; Token, Clyde, and Tweek were interrogating Craig in the backyard.

"Craig what's going on man? You're zonin' out like more than usual." Token questioned.

"y-you're more expre- ex-expressive than usu-al! gah!" Tweek concurred in pieces.

"Yeah! And you gave Stan a ride in your car! You never let anyone touch your car!" Clyde added.

Craig stayed quiet. Token interrupted his silence. "Craig do you like Stan or something?"

"hmm…" craig hummed deep in thought.

Well shit, i guess i do. Like alot.

"Yeah, probably alot more than I should."

His friends smiled in relief. Clyde spoke up "You should tell him, give a shot or something."

"Nah, Stan probably isn't even into guys, and if he was he wouldn't go for me. The best thing to do is to keep it friendly." Craig said.

The three boys shook their heads but didn't push the subject any further because they knew that Craig would eventually put his fears aside. They all went inside to get some drinks. Craig decided that he would get piss poor drunk, so he began to down every red cup that was passed to him. Then he began to wonder where his lovely date had gone and started walk around the crowded home.

…

Kenny had been dragged away by Bebe to one of Token's room, to do god knows what and Stan was left alone to just let his eyes wander. Girls were stumbling about, couples were unrhythmically dirty dancing, you could easily tell who had been drinking. Stan saw a blue hat poking out from the crowd and he felt his heart skip a few beats. Once Craig was close enough the corners turned upwards to form a nervous smile. Craig nodded at him then towards the front door. Stan smiled understanding that he wanted to go outside. Craig held the door open for stan and closed the door behind them. The shorter of the two shivered as the cold air seemed to caress his pale skin. Craig pulled a cigarette from his pocket along with a lighter and lit the cancer stick. He took a long drag, Stan watched intently mentally scolding himself for staring. Craig took notice of this and stepped closer to Stan until his back hit the wall. Stan drew in a short but surprised breath. Craig lowered his face but stopped just as their lips touched. He looked into Stan's eyes, they were beautiful when filled with bewilderment. Craig sighed and lowered his face again so that his forehead was resting against Stan's.

" I like you alot." Craig mumbled drowsily.

"Craig?"

Stan's eyes widened at the sudden confession, his nose crinkled at the smell of alcohol that lingered on Craig's breath.

"Craig you're drunk." stan muttered.

Craig only hummed then said "I think you're really pretty and I might want to have your babies."

"Craig you're drunk and you're gonna regret what you said tomorrow morning." Stan chuckled slightly.

Craig stared intently into Stan's cerulean eyes " Stan I mean it." Stan's chest clenched. Craig leaned in to kiss Stan but the sound of hinges squeaking interrupted the two. Stan was about to fall back but Craig wrapped his arms deftly around Stan's waist. Stan turned his face to see who had opened the door and blushed maniacally when he saw it was Kenny.

"So you guys decided to start the party without me." he remarked with an eyebrow raised and a smirk plastered on his face.

Sorry I haven't updated guys but school kind of got in the way, but I'm trying to update more often. Thanks for reading! :)
