Chapter 13 Lunch Time

Kyle sat down where he would normally sit with Stan, Kenny and Butters. Cartman never normally sat with them as he had finally got the message that he just wasn't welcome most of the time.

"Hu-hu-Hey Kyle" Butters stuttered as he sat down. "Er How's it going?"

"Hi Butters" Kyle said, pulling out his lunch box "Not bad thanks. No Kenny?"

"He-he-he'll be here any minute. He's er, got something he needs to tell you and Stan"

"Yeah well, there's no sign of Stan. He's gonna be out of school all lunch time, I think. I'm just gonna have to relay the message"

"o-oh kay then. Say, that's one h-h-heck of a shiner you got your self there. Who gave you that?"

Kyle had completely forgotten about his black eye. No one had been staring and up until now, no one had made a comment about it or anything. "Oh, Stan." He said in a very matter-of-fact tone

"S-S-Stan? But I thought he was your B-" Butters was cut off by Kenny

"Boo!" Kenny slapped his hands down on Kyle's shoulders

Kyle nearly jumped out of his skin "AAAH! Kenny! You arse!" Kyle's heart was beating ninety-to-the-dozen.

Kenny simply sat next to Butter's, laughing his head off.

Kyle ate part of his Sandwich "What's with the note anyway, Kenny?"

Kenny sighed "I know how you got that black eye, Kyle" Kenny didn't actually seem too bothered about the fact Stan wasn't there.

"Yeah, Stan punched me one, I just told Butters that. Stan was pissed off, and swung for the wrong person. No big secret"

"Yeah, but I know who Stan was pissed off at, I know why he was angry, I even know why you were there"

Kyle gave Kenny a stunned look. He couldn't believe Cartman had told someone. "That fat fuck. Stan and I are holding up our end of the deal"

"I think he only told me to show you two that he meant business. He's going to broadcast it around the school and to your parents if you don't comply with what ever he wants."

"That bastard. Oh I don't believe this. He knows I can't tell anyone about us because I might get kicked out of the synagogue and he knows Stan can't tell anyone because 'coach hates fags'…he's got us right where he wants us. Fuck"

Kenny looked at Butters with raises eyebrows, Butters retuned the look. "You know Kyle, y-y-you and S-S-Stan could always tell people your selves. You might still end up in a whole hubble of trouble, but it'll be a lot worse if people find out from Cartman." Butters Stuttered

"Yeah, good one Butters. I can just imagine my mum's reaction when I tell her that. 'Hi mum. I've got something to tell you, you know how I've known Stan my whole life? Well now were boyfriends and I want him to fuck my brains out every night'" Kyle said, chomping angrily on his sandwiches

"He has a point though, Kyle" Kenny looked empathetic "yeah, it's gonna be bad no matter how people find out, but it'll be worse if they find out through the fat shit than if they find out through you. And what's thing about every night?" Kenny grinned

Kyle raised his eyebrows, ignoring Kenny's last comment and not sure whether to agree or not. "I just don't know. I'd much rather stay hidden at the moment. We're only seventeen, we have the rest of our lives to be ridiculed about who or what we are."

Kenny thought it better to change the subject. The fact Cartman couldn't keep his fat mouth shut really wasn't helping Kyle's mood much "So have you two…you know?"

Kyle was half way through taking a sip of his drink, which he nearly spat out through his nose at Kenny's very forward question "What!"

"It's a simple question" Kenny smiled. He put his arms around Butters "We have, many times"

Kyle turned away slightly, turning a bit red in the face "No" he murmured quietly

"W-w-waiting for the right guy, Huh Kyle?" Butters asked

"No, I think I've found the right guy. I'm just waiting for the right moment." Kyle replied

"Yeah, good move. It nearly killed me, trying to make the moment right for Butters here, but it was worth it" Kenny gave Butters a peck on the cheek

"Well I-I-I wasn't just gonna l-let you have your way with m-my fragile person now, was I?" Butters smiled

Kyle Chuckled. He never had Butters marked as the kind of person who would want to have sex at all. He'd led a pretty sheltered life right up until his teens. His parents had their hearts in the right place, and they cared about him, but the way they brought him up, Kyle always thought it would oppress Butters, sexually that is. Maybe that's why he turned out to like guys, who knows.

Kyle pulled his mobile phone out of his pocket and stared at it for a second

"Waiting for a Call off Stan?" Kenny asked

"Yes and no. Waiting to find out where he is. Still, we have computer class with each other as our last period, I'm sure I'll find out then" Kyle said with a smile, and put his mobile phone back into his pocket
