"Craig isn't your mom home?" I was seated in the kitchen, sipping on the coffee I just made. I don't really like the brand Craig's family uses. Next time I come over, I'll bring a bag of the coffee we use at home.
Craig's kitchen is pretty nice. It has a large counter and a window above the sink. The walls are a light blue and the floor is made of white tiles. It isn't as neat as my family's kitchen, but it was nicer.
"No. Mom usually goes to some stupid club she's in during the week, and Dads at work." Craig shrugged and continued to eat the sandwich he made.
I took a large gulp of coffee before setting the cup down.
I was about to ask Craig what his dad does, but Craig got up and started walking out of the kitchen. He looked as if he forgot something.
"Craig? W-Where are you going?" I nervously bit my lip and started to follow Craig to the front door.
"I forgot to feed Stripe this morning. I'm out of Guinea Pig food so I need to go get some from the store real quick. It'll only take ten minutes to go there and back. Do you think you could wait here?" Craig turned to me and looked me in the eyes, probably trying to see if I was nervous about being alone in his house.
I don't mind being alone in his house. I actually like Craig's house better than mine. My house is full of gnomes and... I just don't like it.
"I'll be fine! Promise! J-Just don't be gone for a long time." I smiled and went to sit on Craig's couch. I didn't look back at Craig as I heard the door shut. I sighed and looked for the remote.
Is it just me, or is it normal to spend a good portion of your life looking for the TV remote? It's like it's alive and takes pleasure in torturing me by hiding! Jesus! What if it IS alive? Oh God, I hope Craig comes back soon.
While I was thinking about the remote, I didn't notice the small sounds coming from the staircase.
"Oh, hi Tweek."
"GAH!" I spazzed and fell off of the couch. For a few seconds I lay on the floor panting and twitching. I took a deep breath and slowly opened my eyes. When they were open, they met bright green eyes.
I shuddered. Those eyes always creep me out.
"H-Hi Ruby..." I muttered, staring up at Ruby. I started twitching nervously. Ruby was staring at me; she was standing in front of my head, looking down at me.
"Where's Craig? Aren't you supposed to be in school?" Ruby sniffled and rubbed her right eye with her hand. I noticed Ruby was in her PJs.
"W-We have lunch right now. C-Craig's getting food for his hamster." I slowly sat up. Ruby sat down on the couch and took a Kleenex from a pocket in her PJs. She blew her nose into it as I got up and sat on the opposite end of the couch.
Ruby flipped me off. "It's not a hamster. It's a Guinea Pig, and his name is Stripe. Craig's stupid pet that he loves so fucking much." Ruby rolled her eyes and leaned against the back of the couch.
"Oh. Didn't Craig have that Guinea Pig since grade 3? I d-didn't know they lived so long." I remembered the first time I came to Craig's house. Craig had dragged me upstairs and introduced me to Stripe the guinea pig. He said Stripe was his best friend...and an alien guinea pig from the planet Guineatron.
Craig used to lie a lot. I don't think he does anymore, if he is, he must be an amazing liar. That or I'm just the most gullible person on Earth...besides Butters.
"No, they don't. The first Stripe died in grade 5. Mom noticed it was dead and replaced it with another guinea pig that looked like the first one. Craig knew it wasn't his Stripe, but he played along. Since then, every time his guinea pig dies he pretends he doesn't notice so mom will buy him a new guinea pig." Ruby yawned.
"Hey, don't you have school?" It didn't cross my mind before that Ruby has school as well. I know for a fact that the elementary school doesn't have lunch at this time, so she must be sick or something.
"I have a small cold. It's really nothing; I just played it up a bit so mom would let me stay home." I started fidgeting; I didn't like sitting in one spot for so long. I think it's because of my ADD, maybe. I'm not entirely sure though.
"You know, it's really boring being sick on a school day." Ruby's voice made me look at her. It sounded as if she was going to suggest something, something I probably won't like.
"Tweek?" Ruby's voice suddenly sounded sweet and innocent. "It would make me feel a lot better if we could do something... I know you won't want to do it but, it would really make me happy!"
I know she wasn't really as sweet and innocent as she was trying to sound, but I fell for it anyways.
"F-Fine...but what is it?" I started twitching a bit more than usual, worried about what Ruby wanted to do.
Ruby smiled and leaned over, whispering into my ear.
"Ngh, p-please not that!" I shrieked, but Ruby had already grabbed my hand and started dragging me upstairs. It sorta reminded me of how Craig always drags me around.
I yelled a few more protests as Ruby pulled me into her bedroom.
***Craig's POV***
"Tweek?" I opened the door to my house and went over to the couch, but Tweek wasn't on it.
Maybe he went back to school?
I felt a sinking in my stomach. I didn't like thinking Tweek would go to school without waiting for me. I tried to replace those feelings with anger, but it was Tweek. I can't be mad at Tweek.
I went upstairs to my room and fed Stripe. I smiled as I watched Stripe eat some of his food.
"GAH!"
I heard that unmistakable yell coming from my sister's room. I got up and ran out of my room and stopped right at my sister's door.
I blinked a few times, and then rubbed my eyes.
Is this my imagination? Is this fucking real?
I stared unbelieving at the sight in front of me.
Tweek was in my mom's dark green party dress, with the matching bow in his hair. My sister was trying to fix his hair so it wasn't so messy, but I'm sure it would be impossible.
Please God, if your there, please let this be real.
This may sound weird, and maybe a bit creepy, but Tweek looked adorable dressed as a girl.
I felt my face start to heat up. I'm pretty sure my whole fucking face was bright as a tomato.
The dress Tweek was wearing was dark green with a black bow tied in the front right above his waist. The dress went down to his knees and the sleeves were a bit too big for him. The bow in his hair was the same dark green as the dress.
He looked so adorable I thought any minute I would lose control and jump him right there in front of my sister.
Guys dressed as girls really isn't my thing, it's just that Tweek looked so innocent.
"O-OH Jesus!" Tweek finally noticed me staring at him from the doorway. "H-Hi C-Craig...Ngh!" he stuttered and blushed, trying to avoid my gaze.
Ruby was giggling and saying how the dress was perfect for Tweek, and that made him blush even more.
I glared at Ruby and flipped her off, pretending to be angry. I angrily stormed into the room and grabbed Tweek by the arm. He squeaked and my heart pounded. I hope I don't sound like a pussy when I say this, but Tweek can be so damn adorable it makes my heart ache.
I dragged Tweek into my room and slammed the door shut.
***Tweek's POV***
Craig stood facing the door. I couldn't see his face so I couldn't tell what his emotions were.
"...Tweek take off that dress. Right now." Craig still didn't move from the door as I took off the dress. I was wearing my pants underneath, but my shirt was still in Ruby's room.
I tried to fold up the dress, but I failed miserably. Instead I walked up to Craig and tapped his shoulder. When he turned around his face was emotionless, but it wasn't unusual.
"Um...Craig I can't fold-"
My eyes widened and the dress I was holding fell on the floor. Craig had turned me around and pinned me to his door, crushing his lips against mine. It only lasted a second or two, but it was enough to nearly give me a heart attack.
We stared at each other for a minute, for some reason we were both breathing hard even though the kiss only lasted a second.
"Tweek, I fucking love you and I think I have for a long time, but I didn't realize it until recently. I know you probably don't feel the same way, but...I just had to let you know." Craig took a deep breath.
My name is Tweek Tweak; Caffeine addicted 17 year old, who is haunted by underwear gnomes. Known as Tweek the Freak...and Craig Tucker, the boy who's been my best friend for the longest time, the boy who in my mind was the coolest person in world...
Just told me what I've dreamed of hearing since we were both 15.
A/N: I don't know about you guys...but this is my favourite chapter!
