Title: Ancient Greece
Summary: Cartman had an obsession with Clyde Frog from a very young age- but nobody knew that obsession would lead to something different…
Slash: You'll have to read to find out ;-)
Cartman had always liked Clyde frog. To hell with that last sentence- Cartman had always LOVED Clyde frog. Ever since a young age- when Kyle ripped Clyde frog's head off, Eric Cartman thought that his heart had been ripped to shreds. Of course- he could not let one Kyle Broflovski know that- he would never live another day.
But it was only in high school that Cartman realised a slight resemblance in one Clyde Frog and Clyde Donovan.
Not just the names either.
Clyde Frog had a body that if you hugged- you would instantly feel better. Clyde Donovan- well Eric Cartman didn't know how it felt to hug Clyde Donovan, but he desperately wanted to find out. Clyde looked the huggable type. Though in elementary he was gabbed as 'second fattest kid', Cartman thought it was more puppy fat than anything- to hug him would be like a bear hug. Soft and relaxing, though you would feel safe at the same time. Like nothing would be able to harm you.
Clyde frog had a big sewed on grin. Whenever the young Cartman would gaze upon Clyde Frogs grin he couldn't help but want to laugh. It was slightly lopsided because whoever manufactured it was to lazy or in too much of a hurry to double check their sewing. Though Eric didn't mind one bit.
Clyde Frogs smile reminded Eric of Clyde Donovan's big bashful smile. Whenever they won a football game, Cartman would gaze on Clyde from the benches- at first the look on Clyde's face would be disbelief, but then to Eric's wide relief it would turn into a rather dimply smile. One of disbelief and- was that a hint of pride?
It took Eric Cartman a very long time, and a lot of sleepless nights, to find out why whenever he closed his eyes he saw Clyde Donovan. When he was young it was Clyde Frog but growing up the face had slowly mutated into Clyde Donovan's. Cartman studied everything about Clyde- he needed to know what kind of game Clyde was playing, what kind of trick he was playing on him, to make Eric look onto him every five seconds.
Of course at first Cartman was in denial, like many young, experimenting teens, he just couldn't understand what made him look at Clyde more than the others in the locker rooms after football.
He became obsessed with trying to find out what kind of products Clyde had used to distract him for so long.
Then, gradually, very, very gradually, Eric Cartman learnt to accept, and embrace his feelings for Clyde, not just as a crude attempt to make him look gay, but as a high school crush, and perhaps more.
But it wasn't just that either. Cartman soon found himself to be a very restless sleeper. He would twist and turn and tug at the blankets, fluff up the pillows, make himself more snug, but none of this would help him in his vain attempt to sleep.
One night Cartman sighed. He knew why he couldn't sleep he just didn't know why the nagging, tugging sensation wouldn't let him go. Surely after admitting he had liked someone the empty feeling would disappear and he'd get a good night sleep? But alas, no. It was only when Cartman turned over to see the worn Clyde frog to the left of him, that he realised he wouldn't, he couldn't sleep until the Clyde next to him in bed wasn't a cheap plush frog. It was a boy Cartman had known all his life.
And so the day came. Of course it was an accident. But something in Cartman told himself it was definitely no accident. That a part of him had meant to admit it, so that a certain someone would get the hint.
"And so that concludes why China is one of the most advanced, of the ancient civilisations"
"Thankyou Miss. Testaburger"
Cartman was staring into the back of Clyde's straight brown hair. He desperately wanted to reach out, to touch it.
"And now we have Clyde Donovan on his talk of Ancient Greece" Says the half asleep teacher.
Cartman watches every move as Clyde walks up to the front of the room.
"Thankyou. I'm going to talk to you today about Ancient Greece. Greece was one of the first ancient nations to use coins instead of bartering. So unlike China, Greece was very ahead of its time"
Cartman looks around at Wendy sitting behind him and smirks to see the strong glare on her face directed towards Clyde. He turns his attention back to the front.
"Many of Greece's Ancient relics are very well known. But something very unknown about how ahead of time the Greeks were, I'm about to share with you" He takes a deep breath and closes his eyes. He looks like what he's about to say is going to pain him.
"Greeks were very ahead of their time because, they were one of the first Ancient Civilisations to embrace, instead of push away, homosexuality"
At this there is an out burst of giggles. But some of the boys are looking at Clyde in a disbelief. Like their eyes are telling him not to continue, to give it up. But Clyde keeps going.
"In many ways, the Ancient Greeks were more ahead back then, then we are in today's society. They didn't judge people because of what gender they loved, they knew that love is in the heart, its not in Genders. The majority of their military were homosexual"
"Clyde Donovan!" The teacher declares "I will have no more of this trash in my class! Where do you get your sources from?"
He takes a deep breath before saying "Google"
The teacher looks like he's about to explode- nobody- I repeat nobody, would have the guts to argue with the biggest teacher in the world. Google.
"Well I give you a C for effort but only if you stop this nonsense now"
"What are you homophobic or something?"
"No but I doubt this is a conversation that is suitable for year 11 ancient history!"
"Are you in denial? I'm giving you facts! Dude this is messed up- this is censorship, that's what your doing! You can't deny that people are gay"
"I don't know anyone that's gay thankyou very much Mr. Donovan, now take your seat immediately!"
"You know me!" It seemed to slip out of his mouth before he knew what he was saying. The whole class went dead silent. And then burst out all simultaneously with whispers. Clyde looked like he was about to cry.
That's when Cartman realised the difference between Clyde Frog and Clyde Donovan. His eyes. Clyde Frogs were beady and black whereas Clyde Donovan's were…. Beautiful.
In the later years, Cartman learnt a lot from Clyde. But still to this day their main interest is both Ancient Greece.
Flames? Good? Bad? I've never read a Clyde/Cartman before- and this is the first time I've ever written one? Feed back?
