By the next day Craig was finally feeling like his old self again, no fever, no headache, and no coughs. Just how things should be. Because if Craig was sick a day longer he would not only just scare Clyde till he cried, but he would also make sure the brunette would never cough on someone else ever again. How he would accomplish this, well… that's a secret until the time comes. And yes it does involve stitches and a needle.
Wearing a black tight shirt, black skinny jeans, boots, dark blue jacket zipped up to mid-chest, dark blue gloves, and his chullo hat. The class just before lunch, was computers, and Craig with all his life hated it. What the hell was with these ancient computers, and no one has explained just what the hell F5 did. And the teaching with the chest that was practically touching the ground wasn't any help. Why she considered herself a teacher was beyond him. He could always ask the red head sitting next to him, but Craig honestly didn't care anymore. The one thing he seemed to care about the most at the moment was the fact that Kyle was in class today. Looking over at the Jew he didn't look any different, so why was he gone. "What happened to you a few days ago?" He questioned with a blank look. As soon as Craig sat down in his first class that morning he was immediately called down to the councilor's office for a detention. Guess it was bad to skip out on school without letting them know about it, even if you were sick. Flipping off the man probably didn't help the situation either.
So far the day has been pretty uneventful, Tweek seemed to be in a good mood. And it seemed like the blonde didn't remember the kiss, or just pushed the thoughts aside. But why didn't the alien forget about the kiss? It was really starting to piss him off, but he wouldn't let that bother him at school. In the middle of his thoughts Craig noticed there was a problem, normally human's had dull teeth right? Well that's what his cloaking earrings made him have, dull plant eating teeth like all humans had. But his teeth were sharp… slowly reaching up he touched his ears that were hidden because of his hat. Immediately the alien's eyes widened. One of his cloaking earrings were missing, therefore half of his overall look was messed up. His skin and eyes were still human looking but the alien's teeth, ears, and claws weren't. Damn it! Luckily his ears were covered by his chullo, and his claws were covered by his gloves. But his teeth were another story, he actually said something to Kyle without his teeth being hidden by the earrings.
Where was his other earring? Putting a hand over his mouth he looked around the computer to see if it was on the desk somewhere. "Fuck," He said with a muffled voice because of his hand. The alien had no idea where or even when he lost the thing, and it was this kind of situation that made him upset that they were earrings. Why couldn't it be a necklace? At least then you'd notice when you lost it. Then again there was a necklace brand but he wanted the earrings because they looked cooler.
Finally Kyle was over his flu and able to go back to school. Wearing a white blouse, and orange vest with white designs, green pants, and converse he walked into school. A little over dressed but he wanted to look nice for Kenny… who had dive tackled him to the ground. Maybe surprising him wasn't the best idea. Now in computer class he was typing away happily. At least while he was sick he could do some more work for Christophe and Gregory, mostly Christophe since that blonde Brit was too stubborn to ask for help with hacking so he didn't have to worry about sneaking in some work in class today. Doing work for mercenaries really was entertaining though.
Looking over at Craig as he spoke he noticed his teeth… something was off. Were they, pointed? No, that couldn't be right. People don't have pointed teeth. Shaking his head he faked a smile. "I was sick… How were you these past few days? I hope you didn't get sick too," he chuckled half heartedly and quickly looked away. He just couldn't get those teeth out of his mind and then Tweek's paranoid voice rang through his head, 'He's an alien!' Was Craig an alien? But… why would an alien be here at school, nothing made sense. Rubbing the back of his neck he pushed a few keys on his keyboard, wondering if he should ask him about it.
Glancing over at Craig to see him freaking out he asked, "Are you ok?" That's when he noticed the black haired boy holding his hand over his mouth as if he was hiding something, like his teeth. "Craig… why are you hiding your teeth?" he finally asked slowly and a bit scared.
Craig's eyes slowly trailed over to Kyle, he looked a bit scared. Did he see? He must have seen? Damn it! "I got sick too," He said muffling his voice because of his hand. Craig was more than sure Kyle could understand him, after all his boyfriend did nothing but talk with a muffled voice. "Yeah, I'm fine… I just bit my tongue on accident." He lied trying to calm himself down. Of course if Craig were to really bite his tongue he probably would of bit his tongue off like Ruby did. It's so cool that she now has a scar across her tongue. Though she's nothing but a bitch for lying to people about how it happened, like hell she tried cutting her tongue off as a way to rebel against mom. How was he supposed to hide this, Kyle looked completely suspicious of Craig. And all Craig wanted to do was find his earring. Checking under the desk he bit his lip trying not to draw blood. Where the hell was it? Could it be in the hall? Or maybe his backpack? He was more than sure he had it first period otherwise Tweek would have said something about it.
Kyle looked back at his computer screen. "Oh? …Well you got better quickly," he said a bit suspiciously. It took Kyle almost five days to get over his flu. Sure, his immune system was horrible but getting over a flu that quickly? It just didn't seem possible. "You go to the doctor or something?" he asked, watching the clock on the screen. He didn't want to be a complete a-hole and point out his teeth like a paranoid, crazy person… like Tweek. "Geez, you bite it off or something?" he joked and forced a smile. He kept thinking back to the teeth he had seen. Each and every one was pointed and sharp, like a sharks. He watched as Craig looked around frantically. Looking around he asked, "You lose something?"
Craig continued looking around even as Kyle continued to question him, maybe he would forget about what he might have seen if Craig could only find his earring! "No, no doctor." Was all he said on the doctor question. The red head didn't ask if someone was caring for him, just if he went to a doctor. Which was sick, doctors on Earth were so stupid they didn't understand simple things. Really? Cancer incurable? What a laughable thing to say. Craig gave up and chuckled half heartedly at Kyle, yeah… that was it. He bit his tongue off. Finally Craig gave up, it obviously wasn't in the classroom. "You seen my earring anywhere?" he asked hopping the Jew might have seen his earring.
Kyle tapped his fingers on the desk, wanting to get to the bottom of this. "Earring?" he repeated and looked at the ground. "No… I haven't," he said and narrowed his eyes. Something was definitely fishy about this. He bit his tongue and lost his earring. "Craig, we're friends, right? You can tell me anything," he said kindly, not wanting there to be any secrets. "Yeah we're friends, and that's good to know. Well, Tweek took care of me when I was sick…" Craig said leaning back into his chair not moving his hand from his mouth.
Kyle liked to think of himself as an amazing interrogator, probably something he got from his mother but he would never admit that. Kenny would say Kyle was scary when Kyle got that way or when he lectured the blond. Ok, Kyle did not lecture, he just tried to explain to Kenny that it was wrong to cheat on a test or to feel him up under the dining table while they were having dinner with his parents. Really, who did that? Anyway, back to the matter at hand. Craig was hiding something and the ginger was determined to figure it out. His eyes widened and smiled as the other spoke. Was this what Craig was truly hiding? "Tweek took care of you? I thought he hated and feared you… So, what happened between you two?" he asked. Oh man, Kenny was rubbing off on the Jew. Running a hand through his hair he chuckled. "I mean, if you have a secret then… you can tell me. I won't tell anyone," he said, knowing that this guy was holding in a big secret.
Craig nodded at the question but quickly gave the Jew a confused look. What happened between them? It took Craig a moment to realize what Kyle was implying. Oh hell no. Tweek was still a human, a human who… he was slowly thinking about in that way. "I only kissed him but that was to prove a point that kissing didn't kill," Craig said lowering his hand. He needs to make it perfectly clear that nothing else happened between him and the blonde. "Nothing else happened," the alien said for a moment lowering his guard on the other just to say he did nothing with Tweek.
Kyle rolled his eyes. "Kissing means something. Bet Tweek thought it meant something…" he said remembering how nervous he was to kiss Kenny and how much more attached he was to the blonde afterwards. It didn't matter if it was to prove a point or just an accident, it always meant something. Kyle laughed and held his hands up. "Defensive, aren't we?" he chuckled.
"Yeah kissing means something but to Tweek he thought he was going to die if he was kissed. He literally thought if he was kissed he would die in five minutes, just proved him wrong. He was pretty happy that he was still alive afterwards though," Craig said still finding the thought to be ridiculous. Such odd parents for telling their son such a thing. It was bad to make him fear such a thing, it would keep him from growing up. But Craig barely understood why he even cared so much about it. "Really? Huh… that's weird. Reminds me of when we were kids and he was afraid to touch someone, thinking he would get cooties," Kyle chuckled and shook his head. What? It was funny to walk up to Tweek and just poke his arm and watch him freak out. Kyle, Stan, Cartman, and Kenny used to do it all the time and laugh about it. He felt bad for picking on the paranoid blond but it was funny. "He must really trust you," Kyle said kindly. For a moment he was distracted from his thoughts about Craig and his teeth until he caught a glimpse of them again. It was then when the alien realized he lowered his guard enough to move his hand away from his mouth. Quickly bringing his hand up to cover his mouth again he wondered if that Neo-Nazi Cartman was right after all, maybe the Jews were sneaky.
Kyle knew what he saw now and he had to confront Craig about it. "Craig… I saw it, I saw your teeth," he said in a serious tone. Craig frowned just hearing Kyle say he seen his teeth. Great, just fucking great! But Kyle seemed like the goodie-goodie type so maybe he'd help Craig. Grabbing his backpack and putting it on Craig placed his hand over his mouth again. This was bad, he needed to find his earring quickly. "Just… lie to the weird lady for me," Craig said standing and quickly running out of the classroom as if he was sick. No one would suspect him too much, after all he was out of school for being sick. So maybe they would all think he was sick again. Kyle sighed as Craig asked him to lie and ran out of the room. He just hoped he'd get some answers soon. Looking at the disgusting woman he said, "He felt sick." Something simple, not much detail, not like the woman even cared. Looking back at the computer screen Kyle counted down the minutes until lunch started. He just wanted to lean against his love and relax.
Craig stopped in his tracks to think back to what he had done throughout the day. He went to class, his locker, and the councilors office. He decided to check the councilors' office first, and with that the bell rang for lunch. Great… But at least this gave him a chance to sneak into the balloon on a stick man's office. He checked through all the drawers and under the desk, nothing! Just a bunch of very disturbing pictures of Mrs. Chokes-on… well there's no need to even finish thinking about her name. But he couldn't help but laugh at the pictures, it put him in a much better mood. He even put one in his pocket to pin to the school bulletin board for everyone to laugh at as well. Then there was a locked drawer, he didn't care about keeping his tracks covered at the moment. Ripping the lock off the drawer he opened it to find a lot of jewelry, damn. This must be were the other students lost jewelry goes.
It only took the alien a moment to find his precious earring. Quickly putting it on it immediately cloaked his sharp teeth, ears, and claws. Finally he wouldn't have to worry about anyone else finding out. But there still was the little Kyle issue. Sneaking out of the office he walked down the hall and back to the outside of his last class. The last thing the alien needed was Kyle spreading around what he seen, Tweek and Cartman were one thing, but people actually believed and trusted what the Jew seen.
When Kyle finally emerged from the classroom, Craig grabbed his hand and with a blank look said, "We need to talk." And with that he pulled the Jew down the hall and into the one bathroom he knew the other students didn't like to use during lunch.
Kyle walked out of his classroom with the full intent of questioning Craig later but it seemed Craig wanted to get it all over with. Jumping as the other grabbed his hand he looked over at Craig and nodded. "Ok…" he said as he was pulled through the crowd and into the bathroom. Releasing the Jews hand the alien sighed and rubbed his temples. "So what did you see?" Craig questioned with a blank look just in case he could pull this all off as a lie. "I saw… your teeth. They were pointed, like a sharks," Kyle said slowly, not wanting to sound like a crazy person.
Crossing his arms, Kyle raised an eyebrow and waited for the other to tell him just what was going on. Craig sighed frustrated, so his thoughts were correct. Kyle did see his teeth, oh how simply perfect. Craig couldn't lie about it and say that he used something to make his teeth look normal so he wasn't a freak. How would he even be able to prove that? He could always threaten the Jew, then again others in history have done that with very little results other than slaughtering hundreds of them. "Great, you seen. And you're going to run off and tell everyone aren't you?" Craih questioned suddenly getting defensive about it, Craig still remembered what the humans in the government do to captured aliens. "Go and tell your pathetic government so they can lock me away and perform experiments while my lame excuse for parents laugh?" Craig added letting the cloaking over his eyes and teeth fall. Looking at Kyle he tried to think of what to do next, he could always kill the red head to ensure his own safety. Then again people would notice right away and ask questions, this is seriously messed up
Kyle crossed his arms, waiting for his answer. Kenny was right, the Jew really was turning into his mother but the red head would never admit or believe that he was becoming that loud, overbearing woman. "Tell everyone?" the Jew repeated and blinked. Did Craig really think he would do that? He was the others friend and he never betray his friends. Letting him go on with his rant he was a bit shocked at Craig's teeth and eyes. Just what was he? "I'm not going to tell anyone, I swear," Kyle said in a serious tone. "I can't believe you would think I'd do that I mean… what have I done to make you think I would ever turn on you? Do you think I'm a bad person?" he asked angrily, turning it around on Craig. …Kenny would be frightened to hear Kyle has learned to turn the guilt on the other.
"Kyle it's not a thought," Craig began before pulling off his gloves and setting them on the counter. Placing his ice cold hand on Kyle's cheek who, in turn, Kyle jumped and shivered at the freezing touch but Craig continued, "It's a belief. When animals on Earth are cornered they get pretty damn defensive in order to survive. So naturally I'm going to think everyone will turn me in." Kyle's eyes softened as Craig spoke about the animals on Earth and he understood instantly what Craig meant. Craig was scared. Craig was scared here and wanted to go back home, wherever his home was. "I won't turn you in," Kyle said, looking the other in the eye hoping Craig understood that he meant what he said. Craig pulled his hand away from the red head's warm cheek and turned to look into the mirror.
"Broflovski, just what do you think I am?" Craig questioned turning back to face the Jew. Kyle rubbed his frozen cheeks and looked the other over trying to figure out what he was. "…An alien," Kyle said slowly. "Are you an alien like Tweek keeps saying?" the Jew asked, wondering how the paranoid blonde managed to figure it out. Using his cloaking earrings to makes his eyes and teeth appear human again Craig. "That one is very perceptive, right on the dot with everything. I'm glad no one believes him... I need to finish repairs before they start noticing the tourist that keep going missing. Honestly, how hard is it to keep satellites not in use out of space. It's just making things harder on everyone else," the alien said rolling his eyes. Everything was so frustrating, and the whole satellite thing still bugged Craig.
"I… never guessed he'd be right about this," Kyle said and rubbed the back of his neck. Shaking his head he smiled at the thought of Tweek. He'd have to think through everything Tweek said; most of it wasn't all bullshit after all. "Well that's good, because that's how everyone sees it then," Craig said looking over at the mirror. Tweek was smart enough to see that a dark blue ring in the middle of a blue iris isn't normal. He was smart enough to tell that "shooting star" in the sky wasn't normal, he was able to put two and two together to get the truth. The crazy is just an act; oh the twitching blonde is good. Chuckling, Kyle nodded, "You lucked out with Tweek." Kyle then realized something. Craig wasn't from here and he wanted to go home… "So, you're leaving?" the ginger asked sadly. He would miss his new friend. "Yeah, it's far too hot here… and when one of you cough on me I get sick, plus I kind of miss eating normal food. Eating humans and your food in this low gravity is making me feel fat… I'll be back for work though, I can visit," Craig said smilingly lightly, he was growing a bit attached to a few people on Earth.
Listening to Craig, many questions entered Kyle's mind. He wanted to know what Craig's planet was like, what the alien really looked like, and well, everything. Then Kyle froze. "Wait… back up. You eat humans?" Kyle asked in shock, taking a step back. "Work? …Why are you here anyway?" Ok, Craig was his friend but the whole eating people thing was a whole new story. "Honestly, how could you not see this coming? I have to eat to, and a human is the healthiest thing I can eat on this planet," Craig explained really seeing nothing wrong with eating a human. "I capture humans to sell to high end restaurants on my planet for food, it's life. Kind of like you humans and your love of eating animals," the alien added a moment later with a blank look. Really? Was it that bad to eat a human? It was no different than a human eating a cow.
Kyle took a deep breath and massaged his temples. "Ok, ok… I understand. It's just a bit of a shock is all," Kyle said as his stomach growled. He shouldn't skip out on lunch after just getting better. Stupid diabetes. "C'mon, let's go to lunch before the bell rings," he said and walked out of the bathroom. Looking over at Craig he smiled, "I won't tell Kenny, but he is good at keeping secrets." It was going to be hard to keep something from his lover but he had no choice. Nodding Craig followed the Jew out of the bathroom. "You can tell him, but I do hope I don't have to threaten like I did with Cartman," the alien said walking into the cafeteria.
