Later that same day, Craig was also walking through the neighborhood and he was on his cell-phone talking to Token. "Yeah, my dad said the same thing too," he was saying lazily. "He was sprouting some weird stuff about Nyarlathotep, the endless possibilities and infinity knowledge. I can't remember the rest. To be honest, it bored the shit out of me."
"I don't know. It seemed like pretty disturbing stuff to me," Token said doubtfully. "My dad certainly seems to think it's a good idea. Me not so much? I don't want any part of this Starry cult thing. Jimmy agrees with me and so does Clyde."
"Me neither," Craig agreed. "You know me. I don't do crazy bullshit. Anyway, let's change the subject. Are we still on for the Christmas Eve party?" Token started telling Craig about the Christmas get-together when Craig's foot seemed to kick into something lying on the ground. When Craig looked down, to his surprise, he saw a cell-phone lying on the ground.
"Hang on a sec, Token. Somebody dropped a cell-phone on the pavement." Craig bent down to pick it up. The cell-phone still worked and Craig immediately recognized it. "I think this is Butters' cell-phone. Why is it here? Ah well, I'll give it back the next time I bump into him." With that, Craig pocketed the cell-phone and continued on his way.
He chatted a few more minutes with Token before saying good-bye and hanging up. Now Craig stood before Tweek's house which was lit-up with bright Christmas lights. Ever since sharing their first kiss under the mistletoe, Craig and Tweek felt closer than ever to each other. Craig knocked on the door and after a few minutes, Tweek finally opened the door to greet him. Craig saw Tweek wearing his favorite apron and this brought a smile to his lips. His boyfriend had been baking in the kitchen again. Sure enough, as Craig stepped into the warm living-room, he could smell something delicious wafting in the air.
"Hey babe, what are you baking this time?" Craig asked while affectionately returning the hug Tweek gave him.
"I'm making gingerbread houses as Christmas presents," Tweek told him. "Come and have a look!" There Craig followed Tweek to the kitchen.
Here Tweek showed off the amazingly crafted gingerbread houses he'd been making. Tweek's talent never ceased to amaze Craig as he admired three of the gingerbread houses that were made so far. "Wow. These look good," said an impressed Craig.
"I was able to use M&Ms, candy-canes, gumdrops, peppermint puffs, Sweet-Tarts and Bottle-Cap Candy to decorate the houses," Tweek was explaining happily. "It wasn't easy with the vanilla frosting but I got better at it. This one is for my grandma. But if you want, I can cook you up a gingerbread house if you'd like, Craig."
Tweek found baking to be a relaxing pastime that he'd come to genuinely enjoy it. As Craig gazed fondly upon Tweek, he noticed that his blonde boyfriend wasn't jittery. Tweek looked so domestic in an adorkable way that it only made Craig love and appreciate him more. Tweek's heart started to pound excitedly like it always did when Craig came near. Craig opened his arms and Tweek willingly went into them where the two lovingly embraced. Tweek's hair smelled like ginger and cinnamon that Craig couldn't resist burying his nose in his golden-locks to breathe in the sweet scent.
"Is your parents home?" Craig suddenly asked him.
"No. My mom went out to do the Christmas shopping. My dad is still back at the coffee shop. I managed to convince him to give me a day-off," Tweek explained.
Not for the first time, Tweek felt a familiar arousal in his pants as Craig's intoxicating cologne seemed to overwhelm his senses. He wondered if Craig wanted him like he did. Tweek was ready. He wanted to explore Craig's body…he wanted Craig to want it too. Now would be the perfect opportunity to finally seduce his boyfriend. Feeling a bit more confident, Tweek cradled Craig's face before leaning up to kiss him fully on the lips. As he'd hoped, Craig returned the kiss just as passionately and eagerly. Craig became so distracted by Tweek kissing his neck that Craig closed his eyes and easily gave in. And then Tweek reached down his hand to stroke Craig's groin…
Craig let out a startling gasp and when he gazed into Tweek's eyes, he saw the lust swirling in them. For a moment, Tweek was afraid he'd be rejected but then… "So you've thought about it too?" Craig whispered softly.
Tweek could see it in Craig's marble-blue eyes too. The same desire, the same lust. His beloved Craig wanted him and so much more. Any doubts that he may have had before vanished in that very second. Finally Tweek smiled. "It's all I've ever thought about," he answered.
To Tweek's delight, Craig leaned over to capture his lips into another sweet kiss. A kiss where Craig took his time suckling Tweek's bottom lip. Craig drew back to catch his own breath and was aware that Tweek was trembling all over from excitement. "You ok, babe?"
"Yeah…it's just…I can't believe this is actually happening," Tweek said huskily. "I was actually going to wait until Christmas to seduce you," he admitted.
But with a wry smirk, Craig lifted Tweek up by the thighs and sat him up on the kitchen counter. "Fuck it. Looks like Christmas is coming early," he said eagerly. With that, Craig was free to plant hot kisses along Tweek's neck while earning moans of pleasure from his boyfriend.
Unfortunately before it could go any further, they were distracted by a sudden loud ring-tone that emanated from Craig's coat-pocket. "Don't answer that," Tweek said breathlessly from all the kissing.
Craig was about to ignore the ringing cell-phone only to realize something. "Hold on. It's not my phone ringing. It's Butters' cell-phone. I found it earlier." Craig reached into the pocket and pulled out the ringing cell-phone and looked at the caller ID. "It says "Bradley." Must be that new guy Butters has been hanging out with. I'll just let it go to voicemail."
Craig and Tweek went back to kissing passionately and just when Tweek was slipping his hands underneath Craig's shirt to worship the feel of his bare chest, Butters' cell-phone rang again. They tried ignoring the cell-phone but so far it rang five times. This Bradley seemed awfully determined to get a hold of Butters that eventually Tweek grew aggravated with the constantly ringing cell-phone that he finally had enough.
"Oh for Christ's sake!" Tweek said impatiently and finally answered the cell-phone. "What the hell do you want? Butters' is not available right now!"
To Tweek's surprise, it was none other than Butters himself answering. And Butters sounded terrified. "Tweek? Is that you? Oh thank god! Listen very carefully to me. You need to call the police! It's the Starry Wisdom cult! They've…" But unfortunately there was some static and Butters got cut off.
Craig saw the alarmed look on Tweek's face. "Tweek? Who is it? What's going on?"
Tweek looked up at Craig with a very scared look. "That…that was actually Butters calling just now. He said something about the Starry Wisdom cult. Craig, I think Butters is in trouble. He told me to call the police. Craig?" Craig wasn't looking at Tweek but was instead looking at something over his shoulder.
When Tweek turned around to look, he saw them too. Hooded men wearing black cloaks were standing outside on Tweek's back porch. All three of them looking in at Craig and Tweek. "Oh shit! It's the Starry Wisdom cult? But why are they here?" Tweek instantly started to panic.
One of the hooded men tried opening the sliding glass door but luckily it was locked. But then Craig and Tweek saw another one picking up a trashcan and preparing to heave it though the glass-window. "They're coming after us. We gotta go, Tweek. Hurry!" Craig grabbed Tweek by the hand and pulled him away from the danger.
Now the two hurried to get to the front door but Craig and Tweek stopped when the the door swung open and more Starry Wisdom cultists were forcing their way inside. Craig and Tweek backed away and realized they had no way out. From the kitchen, Tweek let out a frightened gasp as the sound of breaking glass announced the presence of more cultists breaking in. Desperate for an escape, it was Tweek's turn to pull Craig away from the invading Starry Wisdom cultists closing in on them.
"Quickly Craig! Into the basement!" Tweek cried.
Together they ran through the basement door where Tweek locked the door behind him. As they hurried down the stairs, they could hear the Starry Wisdom cultists already banging furiously on the locked door. The basement door wouldn't keep them out for long. So far Craig was able to remain calm but even he was slowly starting to worry when he realized they were trapped down here. But Tweek was pushing carton boxes out of the way and pointing up at a basement window.
"I can get this window open. Give me a boost Craig," Tweek said urgently.
Thanks to his tallness, Craig was able to help lift Tweek up where he began frantically trying to unlock the basement window. Now Tweek managed to push the window open as high as it would go and began to crawl through to get outside. But when Tweek turned around to help Craig, he realized too late that there was no way for his boyfriend to climb out through the window. And before Craig could look for something to stand on, the basement door was already banging open and the Starry Wisdom cultists were coming down the stairs. They were going to capture Craig!
"Grab my hand Craig!" Tweek tried reaching out for him. "I can still pull you out! Hurry they're coming!"
Craig reached up and took Tweek's hand…but then he turned around in time to see the Starry Wisdom cultists about to take him. With a sad smile, Craig released Tweek's hand. "I'm sorry babe," he said apologetically.
"Craig! Noooo!" Tweek cried as Craig willingly allowed the Starry Wisdom cultists to grab him. Having no other choice now, with a heavy heart, Tweek had to leave Craig behind as he fled.
Somehow Tweek managed to find some snowy pine-trees to hide behind and keep out of sight. His heart wouldn't stop pounding and Tweek couldn't stop shaking from the fear and anxiety. For a moment, Tweek was still in shock. It happened so fast. But Tweek was able to see his house from here and that's when he spotted the hooded men in black cloaks coming out with Craig in their clutches. Tweek watched as his boyfriend was being shoved into a black van. Once all the Starry Wisdom cultists entered the van, they drove off. Before he realized what he was actually doing, Tweek was running after the black van. He knew exactly where they were taking his boyfriend…
"Hold on Craig. I won't let them take you. I'm coming for you!" Tweek said determinedly. Tweek didn't care how scared he was feeling right now. Craig had saved him from the evil cult so now it was his turn to save Craig. And unfortunately, the abductions wouldn't end here…
