Craig stares at Tweek in shock. That was the test to see if he would kill a kid. He glares at Tweek for tricking him but couldn't help the small chuckle that was about to leave his throat.
"You're an asshole Tweek." Craig says shaking his head. Tweek still had that shit eating grin on his face. Craig turns to the kid who was still laying down in the sand. He went over and offers a hand to the little girl.
"If you were older you would have kicked my ass." Craig mumbles. Sure he was never one to admit his defeat but the kid was clearly unpleased with her lost. She takes Craig's hand and he helps her up. What he didn't expect was her voice.
"Thanks." It sounded almost like a little girl but a little bit robotic. Did she have a fake voice box? Before Craig could ask anymore questions she went over to the cage exit. Tweek unlocks the cage and opens it for the both of them. The entire crowd that was outside had disappeared as if they were ghost. Creepy to say the least. Craig made his way out attempting to dust off the sand from his suit pants and jacket.
"Welcome to the gang Craig." Tweek says holding his hand out for Craig to shake. Craig hesitated glancing at Tweek but smiles shaking Tweek's hand. Craig had just joined a gang, he was a head detective and now a part of a gang. Even after all this time he went through great lengths to make Tweek happy. God was he still head over heels for Tweek even after this? Maybe Craig was more messed up then he first thought.
"Thanks Tweek." Craig says before glancing at the door to leave. Oh how he wanted to go home, take a nice shower and eat a good meal. Tweek glances at Craig and then to the door as if he was reading his mind.
"Go if you want." Tweek said it so simply. Craig glances between Tweek and the door once more.
"Are you serious Tweek?" Craig questions scanning the blonde's face for any expression that could clue him in on if he was lying.
"Yeah, I'm not going to hold you here. This gang is built on trust so I'm expecting you to come back and not run off." Tweek says with a shrug. Tweek was even better at keeping a stone face than Craig was, and that was saying something.
"I'm going to go take a shower and get something to eat that isn't beans." Tweek snorts softly and dusts some sand from craig's shoulder.
"Come back soon." There was a hint of sadness in Tweek's voice. Craig picked it up right away, Tweek didn't want him to go. It's not like he wouldn't return or anything. But without even thinking Craig smoothed Tweek's bangs back pressing a gentle kiss to the smaller males forehead.
"I'll be back soon." Craig freezes right away realizing what just happened. He just kissed a gang leaders forehead. He could die Tweek could kill him for that. Craig glances down at Tweek nervously instead of meeting a death glare he was met with bright pink cheeks and a shove.
"Hurry up and get out of here before I change my mind." He hisses crossing his arms unhappily. For just a second Craig could swear he saw a hint of the Tweek he knew from High School. A soft grin forms on Craig's face as he goes to head out before realizing he had no idea how to get out. Tweek seemed to catch on and sighs annoyed grabbing onto Craigs hand leading him out through the series of halls. There were so many turns and twist it could be clarified as a maze. Once Tweek leads him to a ladder he sighs softly.
"This is the way to the railroad tracks." Tweek crosses his arms once more letting Craig's hand go. Craig would even go as far as to call Tweek cute, but he knew better than to say that out loud.
"I'll be back soon. I just need a shower." With that Craig climbs his way out of the base. The sun was in the middle of the sky and Craig's stomach growls. He hadn't had breakfast yet and beans weren't exactly the best dinner. He sighs happily at the feeling of the sun on his face. Craig glances over at his car which was sure enough sitting there waiting. Craig was exhausted, maybe he'd take a nap before he went back. Craig got into his car started it and headed home. If his hair wasn't greasy and his clothes weren't covered in sand maybe he'd feel like it was a normal day. He finally made it home, took a quick shower and changed his clothes into something more comfortable. A simple black tanktop and jeans would do. Craig was debating on just sleeping but it was getting late and Craig promised he'd return. With that he made his way out of his house and drives to the railroad tracks. He sighs as he looks up at the sky, the sun was setting and casting a beautiful sunset across the sky of red and pink. Though the moment was ruined when his phone went off in his pocket. Curiously he pulled it out, it might be from work. What he didn't expect was it to be from one of his best friends from high school.
"Eric's back in town! He wanted to meet everyone again so I'm throwing a welcome back party. The date isn't set yet but keep your schedule open! -Token" Craig stares at the message in shock. Eric Cartman was back in South Park, oh god how was Tweek going to react to this. Craig sprinted to the base quickly getting through the door sliding down the ladder.
"TWEEK!" He yells loudly. Sure enough Tweek came running staring at Craig in shock.
"What?! Are you hurt?!" Tweek quickly checks Craig for any wounds but Craig grabs both of his hands.
"I need you to stay calm for me ok…?" Tweek seemed even more uneasy then he was before. So much for trying to keep him calm. Craig took a breath holding on Tweek's hands.
"Eric Cartman in back in South Park." Craig watched as the color drained frown Tweek's face. He could see the terror and anger in his eyes. God what was he supposed to say? There's no easy way to tell him that… Tweek stared at Craig and he knew exactly what he was trying to do, Tweek was checking if he was lying. Craig stared into his eyes trying to convey the fact he was in deed telling the truth, even if really, really wanted it to be a lie Token would never lie to him. He watches as the fear in Tweek's eyes subside and he began to twitch in anger. Shit, shit this wasn't good. Craig had to do something and fast it looked like Tweek was seconds from exploding. He gentle runs his thumbs over Tweek's knuckles in an attempt to calm him, that's what he would do in school too when Tweek's twitching got too bad.
"Tweek look at me." Tweek looks at Craig's eyes. Craig had no way to tell what Tweek was thinking or even feeling fully. But the least he could do was try and help him through it.
"You're not alone." Craig whispers calmly to him. Normally Craig wasn't soft spoken or hushed ever but it seemed to relax Tweek. Tweek's twitching slows to a stop before Tweek pulls his hands away marching down the hall. Craig was left with no choice but to follow like a lost puppy dog.
