#26 - 'Fate' by Lar.

Notes: Requested by Emo-Nerdy-Insane-Writer~! It turned out... Different to how I imagined, but I don't think I could have done it any other way - it's wordy, lot's of dialogue, I don't normally write that way so I hope you enjoy it despite me not being sure what I think of it ^^;

I have only one request left in my stock-pile so please, turn to the theme list (it's been updated, including school which will be next) and request me, guys! There's eighteen left, let's get this thing done! ^^

"Why do you even care, man?" Craig asked having listened to his friend freak out about some documentary on the television the night before about global warming for the last hour - these freak outs were normal, as was Craig's uninterest in them, "It's not like you can do anything about it, it's pointless to worry." Tweek gave him an odd look stuck somewhere between fear and curiosity.

"P-pointless...?" The blonde asked nervously, of course he did not really want to hear his friend's twisted logic on the subject but... He supposed he also really did, too.

Craig only shrugged and for a moment Tweek thought he was going to change the subject but just as he was about to ask again, the brunette looked over to him, eyes serious but face still carefully blank.

"Fate, Tweekers." He said simply, causing Tweek to frown.

"Fate?" He repeated, Craig nodded.

"Yep. If it's gonna happen, it will - we don't get a say."

xox

It was years later, when Tweek brought the subject up again. He had thought about his friend's word often, worrying for them in the way that he had once worried about everything else in the world but he still did not understand why someone who was supposed to be his friend would do such a thing...

"Why'd you say that, Craig?" He asked, causing Craig to blink at him, having no idea what the other was talking about. Tweek narrowed his eyes in annoyance at the taller teen, "Fate, dammit! Why'd you have to tell me about that?! It's messed me up, man! It's all I can think about!" Craig only shook his head.

"You were messed up before, now you're just like the rest of us." Tweek had so much he could have said to that statement, he found that he only said nothing at all. Craig sighed. "Put it this way, you still worry about crossing the street?" He asked, "About food poisoning? Wild animals attacking you? Murderers? Hurricanes? All that other shit?"

"You think I have time anymore?!" He practically shrieked, causing Craig to break a small smile.

"There you go, then."

"...What?"

"Now it's one thing instead of a million, I did you a favour." Tweek only gaped at the other, about to tell him just how stupid that was when instead he thought back, going over in his mind just how his words had affected the last few years of his life; he went out more, he supposed... Did more in general, had more friends and went to more parties...

He closed his mouth and just stood there for a moment.

"Well?" Craig asked, only feeling a little uncomfortable under the other's gaze, there was something very unsettling about Tweek when he was so still and focused...

Tweek smiled. It might be twisted logic, but it was logical either way.

"Thanks, Craig." He said.
