Welp, it's been awhile….again. First of all I want to thank everyone who has commented on my story. We're nearing the end of this story… Is it weird to have a bitter-sweet feeling because of that? Anyways, expect two or three more chapters at anytime. I have a pretty laid back schedule now, so it'll be easier for me to write and update.
"M-Mr. Tucker, I'm in l-love with you!" Tweek squeaked and leaned forward a little. He ignored the pain, and screamed out his feelings.
Craig blinked a few times, his face flushing.
"What are you on? These drugs sure are weird. Do I look like pineapple…No, Pip…For some reason?" He brushed off the confession easily on the outside, but his heart was pounding like crazy.
"S-shut up for a few s-seconds!" Tweek covered the older man's mouth. He wasn't waiting a moment later to get rid of the hefty pain of a broken heart. "I know you're in love with Mrs. Haylord and all, but just let me say a few more things." He got rid of his stutter, not scared anymore. He was done being scared of speaking his feelings. If he could survive being beaten almost to the brink of death, he could survive this. "I love you and I can't do anything about it. I think about you constantly and it drives me insane. And what made you think I was in love with my best friend?"
"Tweek…I saw you confess to…Pip." The teacher looked away, feeling slightly jaded for some reason.
"I said to stay quiet! I am not in love with Pip. I love you! I'm not willing to give up, but I'll let you break my heart just this once. One day, I'll be the one you wake up next to in the morning. I'll be the one who you take on dates….And not Mrs. Haylord." The blonde teen squeezed his fist and looked at Craig. "Go on ahead Mr. Tucker, break my heart."
"Don't interrupt me this time!" His icy blue eyes looked right in the Green orbs of the younger man. "It seems like we're both misunderstanding each other. I don't know what made you think I'm in love with my little sister, I mean I love her but I don't date her. I also….Don't know why I thought you confessed to Pip. Let's get this straight. We're both n-not in love with other people." Craig stuttered gently.
It took Tweek a few seconds to soak everything in. Now that he thought about it, he could see that Mrs. Haylord and Mr. Tucker looked a lot alike. Both of them had a nasty tongue. Although, Tweek couldn't really understand what he meant by 'we're both not in love with each other.' The blonde teen returned to twitching as he thought about what it meant.
"We're both not in l-love with other people. Does that mean that you're not in love with anyone….Or is it not to s-selfish to conclude that you like me…" His cheeks flushed and his green eyes darted to a corner of the room.
"Recently, I've noticed that you're all I can think about now. I'd like to try to have a relationship with you. So Tweek, I'm not going to break your heart, not tonight. Not anytime soon, if ever." The English teacher became wordier, trying not to cause any more misunderstandings. "You're so…cute….And complicated."
"R-really? I'd like it…of we we're more than teacher and student. And you're j-just as complicated as I am! Who concludes that someone confessed to a-another person for no reason?" Tweek laughed and grabbed Craig's hand.
"W-what?…I'm not as complicated as a boy who h-hides the bravery of a hundred men behind a shaking frail body!" The dark-haired man, flipped the younger one off. In response, Tweek flipped him off too. They both stared at each other for a bit before bursting out into laughter.
"Craig….I love you…." The fair-haired boy said after they got done laughing.
"I love you too Tweek." Craig held the other boy's hand tight. "I need to go, but how about when you're discharged you come over to my house. We can go over what you missed, and then maybe go do something together." He wanted to kiss the frail boy in front of him so badly, but he knew it could wait. His hand slipped away from his love's hand hesitantly and he stood up.
"That sounds like a good plan. Give me a few weeks, I wanna walk into y-your house on m-my two legs." He smiled happily as the older man's hand slipped away. He missed the warmth, but he knew the warmth would visit him in his dreams. To Tweek, that was enough until he got out of the hospital.
"I'll be waiting for you to do that Tweek…." Craig smiled and slipped out of the room.
The blonde boy laid back, covering his red face with his shivering hands. He couldn't help but let out a shriek of joy. His heart was still in once piece, and it was beating quite strong. His mind wanted to wander to the terrible things that could result from this relationship. Tweek was having none of that. All he wanted to do was fall asleep and dream of his new boyfriend. And you know what? He did.
The teacher, however, was just as excited if not more. He hurried to his car, slammed his head against his steering wheel and screamed with happiness. He screamed profanity at himself for setting up a date with his student too, but Craig only did that for a few minutes. When he finally got around to driving home, He sang happily all the way home. Everything was going just right. Tweek survived, he was able to clear up some misunderstandings, and he got a boyfriend. He looked forward to taking the relationship slow and learning all of the frail boys cute quirks. He wanted to savor this relationship, and make something wonderful about it.
Mr. Butters was having a terrible night though. When he got home, he wondered if he gave into letting Kenny quit school too quickly. He tossed and turned in his bed. He had a feeling that his heart was too caught up in the moment. The tiny man curled up, realizing he had made a terrible mistake. He loved Kenny. He loved his job, and letting his love for the younger man make him do his job improperly is inexcusable. His job was to keep students in school and to keep them feel comfortable with who they were. He refused to let Kenny throw his future away. Butters went to sleep, with the burning determination to save his lover's future.
The next morning, he choked down his cereal and then pulled some clothes on. Butters knew the younger man would be hard at work by this time. Taking him by surprise seemed like the best plan for the guidance counselor. He got into his car and drove to where Kenny worked part time, which was a small gas station. Slipping out of his car, he spotted the younger hair haired man easily. With a smile, Kenny also spotted the older man.
"What are you doing here? Gas?" His eyes locked on his cute lover's body.
"Request a 30 minute break." Not wanting to waste any time, he pointed at Kenny's boss. "Now."
The juvenile lifted an eyebrow, confused by his significant other's pushiness. He requested a break and was soon dragged into the older man's car.
"What's this, couldn't wait to see me? I understand…." Kenny leaned in for a kiss, only to be pushed away.
"I want to see you, but for different reasons. I don't want you to quit school." He pulled in the younger one close and kissed his cheek. "You're so precious to me." It was weird for him to be the affectionate one, but Butters wanted to make Kenny change his mind.
"No way, we'll be caught within weeks." The boy with the hoodie mumbled and blushed, comforted by his lover's presence.
"If we're caught, it'll be my fault and I'll take the fall. I refuse to let you throw away your future for me. I want you to continue school and carve a good future out for yourself. It's a shot in the dark, and we'll be have to be super careful in everything we do…but…oh hamburgers I can't put on this tough act anymore." He blushed and looked Kenny in the eyes. "We can do so many things to hide our relationship. We don't have to have dates in this town, we can go off to another city and spend time there."
"My future…..I'm going to end up like my dad…. We both know that. I just don't want bring you down. I don't like the idea of you being fired for loving such a screw up like me. I mean, I act all tough and make jokes all the time but I know. I know I won't make anything of myself. Why not just goon ahead and become a loser." He hugged the older man tight, his heart pounding. The blonde teenager felt so out of character.
"There is not a single person I would rather lose my job over. And never, ever say you can't make a good future for yourself again! I promise you, as long I'm here with you I'll support you. When you think you can't do it, just remember that I will always be rooting for you. You're a cunning man with a heart of gold. What do you say Kenny? Will you give yourself another chance? Will you give me a chance?" Butters didn't like seeing Kenny so weak and unsure of himself. He wanted to give him the confidence, he wanted to support him.
"If you're with me…. I think I can do it. Don't let me down….Please don't." He hugged the older man close and then smirked. His hand roamed down and squeezed the other man's butt. "Hehe….Your butt seems toned enough. I think you'll be able to support me seeing how muscular it is."
"H-hey! Now go back to work. I don't want to hear any more talk of you quitting school ever again." His eyes stared at Kenny's lips for a second. Unable to stop himself, Butters pulled the younger man close and gave him a loving kiss right on the lips. "And Kenny….I love you…" His eyes softened.
Feeling the soft lips of the smaller yet older man on his made his heart swell. "I love you too, Sweetheart." With a smile, the cunning young man with a heart of gold slipped out of the car and practically skipped back to work.
Yeah, I know I pulled a cheap trick and solved all of the problems in one chapter but now I want to focus on working Tweek and Craig to their first kiss. Also, remember the class trip? There's going to be a grand finale there. Don't worry though, you have at least one or two chapters before that. Oh yes, what do you guys think about me adding lemon? Should I write a spin off with the lemon scenes or should I just throw them in at the end? Comment with your answer to these questions and constructive criticism.
