Craig Tucker Must Die chapter 4: First Kiss?
"What were you doing with the new guy yesterday?" Craig asked Tweek the next day. His icy eyes narrowed at the blond sitting across from him."I saw you guys walking out of the school together. You seemed to be real chummy with him." After school yesterday, Thomas was so grateful that Tweek agreed to tutor him that he offered to walk him home.
He liked spending time with Thomas so Tweek agreed immediately. He was so busy trying to make friends with him that he never thought about how Craig would feel if another guy walked him home. Not that he really cared at the moment. Maybe being jealous was the punishment Craig deserved.
Tweek had decided that he could stand to sit with Craig at their usual lunch table today with their friends. There were some questions about why he wasn't there yesterday but he brushed them off. His soft features remained as stoic as Craig's usually were as he stared down at his lunch. He refused to look up at Craig. Though he was still a little peeved off, after spending time with Thomas yesterday, Tweek's mood was slightly lifted.
He was surprised how much he enjoyed having Thomas' company.
"I'm tutoring him." He answered bluntly, taking a bite from his sandwich. Tweek didn't like having Craig question him like this. What did he care if he hung out with the new kid? It's not like he's cheating on him with Thomas. It's no bit deal, right? It was Tweek's life, he could be friends with whoever he liked. It was none of Craig's business if he made new friends, even if they were dating.
But of course he would never tell Craig this to his face. He didn't want him to get angry at him.
"Why?" Craig pressed. Clyde and Token were too wrapped up in their own conversation that they didn't notice Craig interrogating Tweek. The blond secretly wished that they would step in and save him from Craig's questions. He didn't care what they were arguing about, he just wished that they would drag them into their heated conversation so Tweek wouldn't have to say anymore.
He feared that he would say something that he would regret.
Becoming frustrated, Tweek glared at Craig from across the table."Because I want to." He snapped. "Is that a problem?"
A little shocked by Tweek's tone, Craig raised both hands up defensively, signaling a truce. "Hey, whoa, calm down Tweekers." He said, flashing Tweek one of his cheeky grins. Tweek gasped and glanced over at Clyde and Token. They hadn't noticed a thing and were still arguing. He sorta wished that they had heard but Tweek smiled anyway.
Craig has never called him by his pet name in front of other people before. Tweek couldn't help but smile at him. He grinned back, glad that the pet name had worked and that the tension between them had faded. He winked at Tweek, making him blush and smile wider."So what time does work start?" Craig asked before picking up his cheese burger and taking a large bite.
"Right after school. My parents are going out tonight so we'll be all alone." His face flustered and he smiled demurely. Tweek liked it when they were alone together in the coffee shop. He was so glad that Craig came to work there with him. It's the only time of the day that they really got to be alone without worrying that someone will see them. The shop was usually empty at that time of day.
Who wants coffee in the afternoon anyway? Tweek never undersood why his parents kept such long hours for their shop. But he would never ask. He knew that his dad would just go off on a long lecture of coffee medifores. And who was he to complain? He got to spend time with Craig so who cares how long the store was open for?
It's a good thing they made up before work started. It would be a shame to waste their alone time being angry at each other. It also would have been awkward to work side by side like that while they weren't talking to each other. Tweek was glad that everything was settled between them. Well, almost everything. Everyone around them was still in the dark about their secret relationship.
Tweek wondered if anyone would ever know that he was more to Craig then just his best friend.
Tweek spotted Thomas sitting at a round table outside a small cafe. It was Thursday and Thomas had asked Tweek to meet him here so they could study together. He smiled and sat down across from him and placed his books down on the small table. "Hey, sorry I'm late." He apologized. Thomas only smiled at him and waved it off.
"That's okay," He said. "I haven't been here to long." That was a lie. Right after school, about two hours ago, he ran right here to wait eagerly for Tweek to arrive. The waiter must have come back to his table at least ten times to ask his order since he got here. Tweek didn't notice any of this and chose to believe him. But a few seconds after Tweek arrived, an angry waiter approached them.
"Oh, so I see your date does exist." He grinned as he teased Thomas. Turning to Tweek he asked his for his order. He asked for just a coffee and Thomas asked the same. After jotting this down in his note book, the waiter walked away. Thomas glared at the man's retreating back as he walked away. A pink blush was present on his face. He smiled shyly when he looked back at Tweek.
"I was waiting for you to order." He told him. Tweek nodded in reply and opened his text book. Thomas did the same with his and took out his pens and paper. They were studying when the waiter returned with their drinks. They paid him no mind when he walked away. They were too involved in their own conversation to notice the waiter sneer at them for not tipping him.
"T-Thanks again for tutoring me, Tweek."
Tweek smiled at Thomas. "Your welcome," He said. "I like spending time with you anyway." He meant this in the friendliest way possible but Thomas misinterpret it. He smirked at Tweek with a special glint in his eye that confused the other blond. Tweek decided to brush it off and keep working. When he looked up again Thomas wasn't smirking anymore. In fact he looked like he was choking.
Tweek just thought that his coffee was too hot and he burned his tongue, but then he blurted out a slew of curses and slurs. Everyone around them stopped what they were doing and looked over at them. Some were glaring and some looked shocked and confused. Others even seemed to laugh at his little out burst. Thomas clapped his hands over his mouth and looked away. His face turned a scarlet color.
"I'm sorry," He muffled, squeezing his eyes shut and shaking his head. "I'm so so sorry!"
Seeing how upset he was, people gave him sad, pitiful looks and turned away. This happened all the time but Thomas has never been so humiliated in his whole life. He didn't want to embarrass himself in front of Tweek. Not in front of the one boy that he truly admired. 'He must hate me now,' He though.' I embarrassed him in front of all these people and now he probably hates me!'
Thomas was close to tears when a sympathetic hand touched his arm. He opened his eyes to look at Tweek. He was smiling at him sweetly, telling him that it was okay and that he shouldn't have to apologize. "It's okay Thomas. I know how you feel. I used to be the same way with my ADD, I know what your going through so you don't have to apologize to me."
It was the nicest thing anyone had ever said to him. Usually when people knew about his disorder they either pities him or laughed. But Tweek understood. He actually understood how he felt. He couldn't help himself. It was almost like a reflex and neither him or Tweek could stop him. Tweek was completely taken aback when, without any warning and before he could react, Thomas leaned over the table and pressed his lips to his.
