A/N: yup, I finally got around to updating this. I've been preoccupied with school and other pointless crap. Thanks to all my reviewers! Here's chapter 2. Merry Chistmahanukwanzika!

"Wow, Stan, I haven't seen you in so long," Kyle said, still not letting go of Christophe.

"Where have you been for the past three years?" Kenny asked.

"California," Stan replied simply. "But I'm staying in South Park from now on."

"So, um, Stan, how come you stopped answering my letters?" Kyle confronted his best friend, or at least he hoped he and Stan would still remain best friends.

"Sorry, life hasn't really been easy for me," Stan said looking to his side. "I'll explain everything to you later."

Christophe, who had remained unusually quiet the whole time, cleared his throat loudly, reminding everyone he was still there.

"Stan, this is Christophe, remember? From the war back when we were kids?" Kyle said. It was all coming back to Stan now. "And he's my, well, boyfriend," Kyle added, blushing slightly.

"Oh, um, good for you, Kyle," was all Stan could say.

"Nice seeing you again," Chistophe said, taking a long drag from his cigarette. Stan just politely smiled. He was still getting over what had just happened. The bus pulled up and Stan followed Kyle and Christophe on, with Cartman right behind him.

"God, you are such a fag, Stan," Cartman whispered in Stan's ear. "You're so jealous of Kyle and that French fuck toy he's got."

Stan's blue eyes widened. It was like Cartman could see right through him. The boy turned around to defend himself.

"I am not fatass," Stan snapped back. Cartman just sighed and shook his head. The bus ride was unusually quiet, or so it seemed to Stan. He sat next to Kenny, with Cartman in front of them, and Kyle and Chirstophe across from them. The couple seemed to be in their own little world, with no concern for what happened around them. Stan found himself starring at them, but quickly turned away, trying to think of anything but Kyle. He deathly wanted to tell Kyle he was gay as well, but he didn't know when he could talk to Kyle alone. Stan had planned to tell Kyle everything that happened to him and try to rebuild their friendship, but he could tell that Kyle's relationship with Christophe was going to create a problem.

"Stan? Are you okay?" Kenny asked, interrupting Stan's thoughts.

"Yeah…I'm fine."

In school, Kyle was in most of Stan's classes. Stan didn't know if this was a good thing or not. He found it increasingly hard to concentrate on his studies. All day his mind wandered off, he kept thinking about the redhead that was sitting next to him. He thought about how curly his hair was and how sweet and innocent Kyle looked. Stan snapped out of his little daydreaming when he felt Kyle elbow him. Stan looked up to see his teacher glaring at him and he quickly got back to his work. To Stan's relief, the bell rang soon after and he quickly got up and headed to his next class. Thinking that Kyle had surely had noticed that he was starring at him the whole time. Kyle caught up with him though.

"Dude, what's the rush?" Kyle asked.

"Oh nothing, I just didn't want to be late," Stan lied. Kyle just rolled his eyes. They walked through the crowed hallways in silence for a while until Stan finally spoke up.

"Hey, I was wondering," he began, "do you want to do something later? Like just you and me?"

"Sure," Kyle said with a smile. "Is after school good for you?"

"Yeah, that's fine," Stan said before the two departed into separate classrooms. It was then Stan realized that he might have just made the biggest mistake of his life. So maybe he really did have feelings for Kyle. But he didn't know how he would keep his feelings under control. Especially when they would be alone…together…just the two of them. Stan mentally slapped himself for thinking things like that, being reminded that Kyle had a boyfriend and there was no way he could change that. Or maybe he really didn't like Kyle. Maybe it was that he was lonely and needed someone. Stan hoped that was the truth, he didn't want to make things more complicated than they could become.
