Jamie Stevens-McCormick
Time with Ken
A/N: Good evening, stormtroopers! computerman275 reporting and we're landing for another chapter of Jamie Stevens-McCormick. Let's hope this will be the most epic thing you will ever see. So in this chapter, we will see the introduction of rap, along wtih Jamie bonding with Kenny better.
Anyway, since I gave small details, let's get to work!
Stevens Residence
Saturday, 8:30am, Oct. 30th...
"Ugh!" Jamie groaned as he tried hard to pull up his zipper that was giving him a slight issue since it wouldn't just go up. Usually he wouldn't have problems like these, but they weren't impossible to get. Perhaps it was just him getting it on quickly as the issue.
Today was going to be a big day for him. He would spend time today...with Kenny McCormick. The one who bullied him, the one who fought him and tried to break his nuts, and who probably wanted revenge on him. The one who wasn't fully trustworthy.
Yet, at the same time, the one who embraced him, well the second one, the one who promised him he wouldn't be alone and who took a nap from him to assure that. Then again, he could have been doing that to gain Jamie's trust.
'I hope he wasn't joking.' He thought to himself as he finally got the zipper to work. Just a day ago, he discovered that his rival was his brother, and a family he didn't know, the McCormicks. 'That makes Karen and Kevin my siblings, too.' He wondered. 'Karen shouldn't be so bad, she's innocent and sweet. Doesn't ask for much either, pretty timid, but nice. I'm not so certain about Kevin though, other than the fact he loves to eat waffles, pretty much the only thing he does eat.' He would have to ask Kenny if there was anything about Kevin or Karen he didn't know.
It felt weird to him to ask Kenny things, since he just beat him up weeks ago, but if Kenny meant what he said, that shouldn't be a problem. 'Let's hope he actually means it. I'll never forgive him if he lied right into my face and got me hurt in another damaging way.' He feared a little bit, now remembering when he and Kenny embraced. He really hoped nobody else came in, or snuck in his bedroom and waited until Kenny arrived to record footage of him being weak. He would go insane.
"Whoa, I need to calm down." He said to himself as he took a deep breath. 'Now's not the time to go crazy. Just not the time.' He picked up his phone, which seemed to be almost fully charged, then left his room. He went downstairs to see his sister on the couch.
"Hey, sis. You alright?" He asked with a smile on his face.
Bebe looked at her brother and returned the smile. "Yes, little brother, I'm alright. I just can't believe you and Kenny are actually going to bond. You were rivals for weeks, and then, everything just changed. I don't know boys do that."
Jamie frowned, nodded and shrugged. "Perhaps the best thing is to look at positive stuff. I don't know why this is so, but I think the best way is to not worry about it. Fearing something just makes you slow down in life with anything." He suggested.
"Yeah, I guess. I'm just afraid he told me all of that to fool with you, and I just let myself open." She sad upset.
"That could be, but I promise you, if anything is afoot, I'll take care of myself, I promise." Jamie said after taking a deep breath.
Bebe smiled at her brother, then went off the couch and gave him a small hug. "Be careful out there." She whispered.
"I will." He whispered, before he let go.
"Hey, children, what's going on?" They heard their mother say, obviously just jumping in at the last second.
Jamie sighed before he turned to look at his mom. "Hey, mom. Do you remember that kid named Kenny McCormick?" He asked, cutting to the chase.
"Why yes, you beat him up like if he was just a walking target dummy. If there's one thing about fighting is that one moment you're tough and just on the ground in the next." His mom confirmed.
"Well, mom, he and I have come to an agreement to spend time with one another due to a," He took a long pause before he continued. "Secret that was revealed by the school counselor."
"And what secret is that?" Sherryl wondered, although she should have known.
Jamie gave a 'what the fuck' face. He couldn't believe his actual mom didn't know what he was talking about. "You know what it is. That I'm not your husband's kid." He stated.
Mrs. Stevens blinked, before she put her hand to her chin. "Well, I don't know what you're talking about, but I do remember having sex with another man...he did great in the bed."
Bebe's mouth hanged right open, while Jamie just facepalmed himself. "Wow, you are super dumb." His own mother just flat out told him something that she said she didn't remember.
Sherryl ignored it, hugging her son. "Good luck with your new friend, Jamie. Maybe you can help him improve his looks." She offered in her usual voice. Bebe gave a stern look, while her mother put Jamie down. "Whoops, almost forgot." She pulled out her wallet, and handed Jamie a single dollar.
Jamie's eyes widened when he saw what he was holding. '$20. Holy shit.' he thought. His mom never gave him a dollar like that. "Well," he began, "Goodbye mom." He really hoped today was not the day for him to say that, especially not tomorrow.
He then walked out of the house, not looking back once. It would be a good day, it had to be...had to be...
The leaving of his house reminded Jamie of entering a new world, like everything was new, and he just left the world where he felt upset and sad. He found that really weird to feel, since everything was still the same as before. Perhaps it was because it was a new sunny day. Or it could be fresh coats of paint.
He breathed through his nose as he stepped from the way to his house to the sidewalk, hoping to not follow the bad luck feel that Kenny seemed to get. Hopefully, he wouldn't get a lot of bad luck that his brother had to endure. Hopefully...
He turned his head to his left to notice an orange parka walking towards him. He wasn't certain, but he felt a smile curl up as Kenny came towards him. Odd thing, but perhaps it could be for something futuristic. "Morning, Ken." He greeted.
Kenny waved before he came up to Jamie. ("Hey, baby bro.") He returned the greeting.
Jamie just blinked at what Kenny said. "What?" He asked.
Kenny sighed, somewhat disappointed his younger brother still couldn't understand him underneath the parka, before loosening a bit of his hoodie, showing his mouth, and a small tuft of his hair. "I just said hey." He phrased.
"Oh." Jamie said, nodding. This would make things a little easier to understand. "Well, I don't know why, but everything seems to be new today. I guess that could just be me not realizing that I have more family than I thought." He chuckled to himself.
Kenny looked sad, but he returned the smile. "Yeah, I guess it can have that weird ass effect on people." He then put a hand on Jamie's shoulder. "I'll do what I can to make you glad that you're my brother." He promised.
"Kenny, I'm not a woman, I don't mind. Just make things simple, it's all I ask for." He reassured that everything would be okay.
"I know." Kenny said, a bit of whining being in his voice. "Please, can you just let me spend some time with you? I really want to prove to you I like you. Please?" He asked, putting his hands together.
"Yes, yes. I'll listen." He then pat Kenny's chest. "You still have to prove to me you're not your old mean as fuck self. I'm not new to manipulation, people have tried to pull that on me time and time again, with little results. You may have taken away most of my negative images, and got a bit of trust, but if you want me to trust you to the core, you have to prove to me you're not a dick, and are indeed different."
Kenny nodded. "I can do that. I can prove that I'm fine." He could do a lot of things to prove to his baby brother he was nice, he just had to be careful with what he chose. "Wanna head to the Basketball Court?"
"Sure, that would be fine to be at." Jamie agreed.
"Whoo-hoo." Kenny cheered. He and Jamie then walked their way to the court. Jamie wasn't fully aware of the smile his brother had. 'This can't be bad.' He believed.
Kenny meanwhile, on the inside felt better. He was really scared he would have fucked up his chance of bonding with this brother he just learned he had. Sure, they talked about it, but he was aware though that Jamie still didn't trust him completely. He was a little annoyed with himself that he sounded like a little baby, but he ignored. Today, he was going to prove that he was nice...to his brother. He just hoped that Jamie wouldn't be upset with what he had in schedule today. What he didn't know is that his brother would show a skill that he never knew about until today.
Basketball Court...
8:40 am...
Despite the feel, it only took Jamie 10 minutes to reach the court. It seemed to be pretty much how he saw it in the show as well, all the flooring, basketball hoop, little slide behind it, fence with a entrance to it, some bushes, and apparently, two oak trees. Well, he wasn't an expert on telling what the trees were, so he didn't question it. Also there was a streetlight, although he wondered why anyone would be here past dark unless if they were doing some sort of tournament.
Jamie looked around, it seemed to be very, very empty. No one else was in sight. "Leave the sight alone, Jamie. More people will come as time passes." Kenny reassured.
Jamie looked to his right and noticed a small building, which was made of red bricks, and a gray door with a small roof. On its side seemed to be several shelves of basketballs. "So that's where the basketballs come from." Jamie realized. He went over and picked up one of the balls from the middle shelf, before he tossed it over to Kenny.
Jamie was surprised to see that Kenny actually catched it. He thought for a second there he may have accidentally killed Kenny at the last second. "Let's start making some hoops." He said. He then made the ball bounce a few times before he launched it into the hoop, managing to get the ball to go in. Once it fell down, he picked it up and tossed it at Jamie, who catched it with ease. "Now, you try. I'll try and block you from gaining any points."
Jamie paid close attention to the hoop, while Kenny stood above it, but not in the way in case if it fell on his head. His heart pounded as he did so, he heard crowd noises in his ears, the feeling of victory swinging in his head.
He bounced the ball, then ran with it to his left, keeping his eye on the hoop, not Kenny, then ran to his right, being careful, before he swooped in the middle and launched the ball. Kenny's fingers barely touched the ball. The ball hit the plate, but it soon fell through the hoop.
Kenny picked up the ball, before he looked at his brother and smiled. "Not bad, baby bro." He praised, making Jamie grin. "You'd make the basketball team proud."
Jamie nodded, not paying a whole lot of attention for the team. "Ken," He asked in curiousity, "How come you have your parka set to your mouth and hair being visible? And how come you usually cover your entire head underneath?"
Kenny shrugged, although he gave a somewhat odd look. "I do so usually because it's fucking cold here, and to keep warm I have to resort on closing it as much as possible. I'm just having my face area loosened so you can hear me." He tossed the ball back at Jamie.
"Do we have any more siblings?" Jamie asked, remembering this time to not make it sound fishy, all the while tossing his ball at the hoop.
Kenny was glad his baby brother actually wanted to know a little bit about him. "Yeah, I have an older brother and a younger sister. Kevin and Karen." He answered.
Jamie handed the ball to Kenny, and the ladder sent the ball as well up to the hoop. "What do they do?" Jamie asked.
Kenny just shrugged, picking the ball back up before trying to toss it. "Not much. Kevin just seems to sit on his ass most of the time, although I wonder a bit if he's doing drugs like mom and dad are. Karen is very timid, and I feel bad that she spends most of her time inside while there are so many things she could be doing. I just hope that she doesn't flunk out school, that's the last thing I will let happen." He sounded a little rough when he reached the last bit.
"You care a lot for her, don't you?" Jamie asked respectfully, although he already knew what the answer is.
"Hell yeah, I do." Kenny answered, making the basketball bounce a bit after picking it up. "Just as much as I care a lot for you." He looked at Jamie and smiled.
Jamie didn't know why he saw Kenny smiling for a second, until he felt his own lips touching the top of his cheeks as well. He blinked a bit, but the words Kenny just said seemed to make him feel a bit better inside that he put his trust in Kenny. "You're beginning to like me, aren't you baby bro?" Kenny wanted to know.
"Yeah." Jamie nodded. "I am still pretty annoyed that you were a dick when I first met you, but I'm starting to see that was just a one-time thing, and I like that. It gives me relief, hope and peace. Relief because that means we can stop hating each other, unless if we argue, hope because we are rebulding the bridge now that it came to it, and peace because the situation is fading away, leaving quietness to be present, something everyone needs once and a while."
"Well said, baby bro." Kenny praised again, patting his brother on the shoulder. "Well said. I mean that."
"What the fuck is going on over here?" They heard a voice call. The two turned to see Cartman, Kyle and Stan walking in the court. Cartman ran over to Jamie and shoved him to the ground. "Don't you dare poison Kenny!" He shouted.
"Ugh, what did I do?" He asked, his hand on his head because of him gaining a migrane when his head knocked on the ground.
"You know goddamn what you did!" Cartman barked, putting his fat hands on Jamie's neck, starting to choke him.
"AH! Let go!" Jamie shouted, trying to pry Cartman's hands off as he gasped for air.
"Let go of him!" Kenny yelled, trying to pull Cartman off of his brother.
"Jesus Christ, Cartman, what the fuck are you doing?!" Stan screamed, although he didn't partake in anything else.
"I'm killing this son of a bitch because he nearly sent Kenny to the fucking hospital!" He barked, continuing to squeeze as Kenny tried to pull his fat arms off. "What are you doing?!" He squawked.
"Eric, let go of Jamie. He hasn't done anything wrong." Kenny commanded, although Cartman didn't listen, he squeezed harder. Kenny then looked at Stan and Kyle, who weren't doing much but looking in horror. "What are you guys doing? Help!" Stan and Kyle obeyed, and with Kenny's help, they yanked Cartman off of Jamie.
"Let go!" Cartman snapped.
"Cartman, calm down!" Stan replied, wanting the violence to stop. If someone caught them, they might have been evicted.
After Kenny pried Cartman off of Jamie, he immediately rushed towards the ladder, pulling him up to his chest. "It's okay, baby bro," he whispered with a rushed voice, "It's okay, just breathe, breathe." Jamie complied as he was told, allowing Kenny to relax a little.
"WHAT?!" Cartman snapped again. "First you hated him, now you're coddling him?!" Obviously he didn't see what Kenny did.
"I spoke with him yesterday, leave him alone." Kenny replied in a very serious voice.
Cartman turned his attention to Stan and Kyle. "Get off me!" He pulled his arms out of their grasp. "What's the fucking meaning of this?" He demanded.
"Eric, will you calm the fuck down?" Kenny asked furiously, slightly scaring Jamie. "You're making a fucking scene."
Cartman still looked as red as a cherry, obviously telling Kenny that he wasn't listening. "Why should I care?" He yelled.
"Because I'm trying to spend the weekend bonding with my baby bro, and you're ruining it!" Kenny angrily roared.
Cartman just blinked in awe. "What?"
Kenny just looked back at Cartman with eyes of fury. "I just spoke to him yesterday and he agreed to spend time with me this weekend. I did it so I could prove to him that I'm not a fucking dick like I was weeks ago."
"Wow, that's great Kenny." Kyle said, pleased to hear that his friend was making a good change.
"Yeah, that's really good news to know." Stan agreed.
As Cartman went to a side to wonder what the fuck he was seeing, Kyle came over sympathetically to Kenny. "Is he alright?" He asked, wanting to know of Jamie.
"Yeah, he's fine, he's fine. He lost a bit of energy, but he's alright." Kenny finally stood up, and helped Jamie to his feet. "Can you walk?" He asked Jamie.
"Yeah," Jamie coughed, "I can walk, I didn't lose my footing yet." He noticed Stan and Kyle. "Oh, umm...hi." He greeted.
"Hey," Kyle greeted.
"What's up?" Stan asked.
"The sky." Jamie said, pointing up at the sky and laughing. The other three just laughed lightly. "But really, not much." He said, becoming serious. "I got here a few minutes ago. Kenny and I just did some hoops."
"I'm pretty sure you did, you goddamn manipulator!" Cartman screamed. Kenny held Jamie's arm, but Jamie assured him he was alright.
"Alright, Cartman, whatever your problem is, I'm asking you to drop it. It's devil's night, the day before Halloween. Don't blow a blood vessel because you mad." He replied in a gangsta voice.
"Yeah? Well guess what, I'm gonna make sure you're far away from Kenny, because we did just fine without you." Cartman hollered.
Jamie approached Cartman, then he cleared this throat.
"Well really, is that so?,
Because I just heard tons of complaints a few minutes ago,
I literally got up for a new day to begin, and then started allowin' the good light in,
I played some ball with by big bro,
when you arrived by yourself with co.,
Then attacked me like I was a fuckin dog, but you were so fat, you felt like a hog."
Cartman, Stan, Kyle and Kenny could only blink at what just popped out of Jamie's mouth. The boy literally dissed Cartman with absolute fire. "If you fat mothafucka can think that you can roll ova me, you in a bunch of trouble." He then took Kenny, and they walked away.
Later...
Stevens Residence
5:30pm...
Jamie had returned home hours after he dissed Cartman. He had to admit, he thought his bars were absolute and tasty, while Cartman was just old and shabby.
Cartman excused himself after Jamie walked away with Kenny, annoyed at the former's behavior. Kyle and Stan however, became fond of Jamie.
Kyle liked Jamie because he took morals seriously, and because of how hard Jamie served Cartman. It helped the fact that Jamie was incredibly nice, but not naive. He also liked how Jamie wasn't a guy who liked prejudice behavior, even for a German.
Stan liked Jamie because he himself is sensitive, but he liked him because of smarts, which Jamie didn't reveal too much, or else Stan himself may have gotten disappointed. They also had a passion for gaming, some of which Jamie actually told cool fun facts about, such as pointing out that Modern Warfare 1 could be played on a PC with at least 2.5 ghz, and pointing out some easter eggs in the game. He also liked Jamie because he could understand things, and wasn't rude to Kyle, a person he cared a lot for.
The 4 basically spent a quiet day in South Park. They visited a comic book store inside the mall, saw "Captain Underpants", had some coffee at Tweak's Coffee Shop, although he pointed out that there is meth, no one listened.
But what he found interesting was how accepting Token was when he spoke to him.
"Yeah?" Token asked as his doorbell rung. Jamie had just come by to say hello and tell him of upcoming news about his life and other events.
"Hello, Token." Jamie greeted.
Token smiled when he saw Jamie. "Oh, hi homie, how are you doing?"
"Very fine, Token, very fine. I have some good news." He really wished to tell Token them quickly, but he wanted Token to ask first.
"And what is that good news?" Token said with a smirk.
"You know about Kenny, right?" Jamie asked.
"Uh...yeah." Token answered, confused, wondering why his friend was asking this.
"Well, good news. We actually talked yesterday, hung out today, and we've become friends."
Token's eyes widened, "You did?". Jamie nodded.
Token smiled, "That's great. I didn't understand why Kenny was like that, but that's great."
"I'm glad you say that. Almost thought you would blow up." Jamie said honestly.
Token laughed. "I don't blow up quickly, dude. I am surprised on how fast you fixed your relationship, but I'm happy for you." He was about to say goodbye, since he had a bit more work to do, but he remembered something. "Do you have Skype?"
"Yes, I do." Jamie nodded, keeping his smile.
"I'll add you. We can talk tomorrow. Can't right now, little bit more of paperwork to finish, plus meetup with friends." He reasoned quickly.
Jamie nodded, slightly disappointed, but understood. "Okay, that's fine. Then perhaps we can go trick-or-treating."
"I'm already prepared for that, but sure." Token smiled. "Anyway, gotta get back to work. See you, man."
"Bye, Token." With that, Token shut the door.
Now, he was at home. He told his parents about today, talked about what he had done, and even admitted to Bebe that it was a good day. She hugged him that everything turned out okay.
He was sitting in his computer chair, making a bit of conversation on Steam.
"Do you guys ever seem to find easter eggs on maps? Like the map 'Castaway' actually had a reference to the movie." He was playing Garry's Mod with up to 4 players.
"No, but I don't care much for that." said 'Frog Hunter', who surprisingly enough, was Peter Mullen.
"Easter Eggs? Well here, I found some in my pants." said 'A Random Pyromancer', making the other 3 laugh.
"Ah, I think I found it." 'Darth Tyrannos' realized. "It's this ball present in the water."
"It is?" Jamie wondered, noclipping towards the ball. "Ah, so it is."
Jamie then came up with an idea. Although he loved the company of his friends, sometimes he just wanted to fool with them. What he had in store would be perfect.
"Okay, here we go!" He said. He dropped a 'ClusterFuck' nuke in the water, then shot at it several times. A huge explosion surrounded the area. "YES!" He laughed.
"What is going on?" Tyrannos asked.
"Scout set off an explosion underwater." Pyro answered.
This made Tyrannos furious. His internet was bad, he didn't want GMOD to crash yet. "Okay, Scout, please behave, or else I'll respond."
"Okay, okay." Jamie calmed down, although he still crackled a smile. He then chose to turn on a zombie survival mod he had ready, and within minutes, he watched the fireworks.
A/N: Yeah, I admit certain parts are rushed, but I wanted to finish this so I could get some bonding ready, but not too much, and make sure chapter 11 would be fully ready.
Also, some names are actually names of my friends on Steam, the last two actually. I give them credit because they are some of the people I like in this world, funny, but helpful.
Finally, don't be afraid. Jamie's relationship with the boys will be advanced some more in the next chapter. I'm not going to give up there just yet and simply call it a relationship, because that would suck, a lot.
Anyway, see you all next time!
