As always, thank you to everyone for reading! Thanks for the kudos, follows, and favorites. A special thank you to everyone who took the additional step and left comments or reviews.
Extra gigantic Thank You to fallingwthstyle, my wonderful Beta Reader, who helped to bring you this new chapter.
Here is the ending, and in case you are wondering, no smut here, and Tweek doesn't actually get to top... at least not in this story, but perhaps I'll have to give him a little cameo in the spin-off.
*Enjoy*****
Chapter 10: Epilogue
======Tweek's POV=======
Opening my eyes, I breath deeply, stare up at the high ceiling of the vacation cabin, and I smile. This is our last morning in this little paradise, we've spent about ninety percent of the weekend in bed, although we did get out to bathe a few times, and I'm not really looking forward to going home and sleeping alone again.
The smell of burnt bacon is strong, so I know that Craig is making breakfast, and I suppose I should get up and help him, since I'm a much better cook than he is, but my phone is buzzing on the nightstand, so I reach over pick it up and check who is calling.
Smiling I decide to take the call, and put the phone to my ear. "Good morning, Kyle."
"Good to see you're still alive! I called you a few times yesterday, dude, I guess Craig's been keeping you tied up in bed, so you couldn't pick up?"
On the surface, Kyle seems like his cheery self, but I've gotten to know him pretty well over the past couple months, so I notice that something seems off.
"Not exactly tied up, but yeah, we spent all day in bed... doing stuff. We were supposed to go hiking yesterday, but... uh, my butt kind of hurt, so Craig made us stay home. Is it supposed to hurt so bad the next day?" My face heats up, and I hear Kyle chuckling on the other end of the line.
"Yeah, I think so, I was in a little pain right afterwards, but it wasn't too bad the next morning. Thomas made me take aspirin though, so I think that might have helped."
"Gah, I didn't get any aspirin. I knew Craig didn't know what he was doing! He makes me so mad, He also refuses to let me be on top! Grrrr!"
This also makes Kyle chuckle, and although I normally hate it when people laugh at me, right now it's okay, because I sense that Kyle needs to laugh.
"I get where you're coming from, dude, I asked to try that with Thomas right before he left, and he totally freaked out. He said he was a dedicated top, whatever the fuck that is."
"Oh man, Thomas and Craig don't know what they're missing."
"I know, right," Kyle agrees, and even though I can't see his face, I feel certain that he's smiling for real now.
"So anyway, Kyle, are you doing okay?" I quietly ask, I know that Kyle generally likes to keep his troubles to himself, but he always listens to me complain about Craig, so I want to return the favor.
"Yeah, dude, I'm fine," he tells me, but than he goes silent for a moment, so I decide to wait him out.
"Okay, maybe I'm not fine. I really miss Thomas, this long distance relationship shit sucks, but he's suppose to come visit over Spring break, so I'll get to see him soon."
"Well, that's good news, right?" I ask him, since Spring break is only two weeks away.
"Yeah, but last night, Stan sent me a text telling me he's sorry and misses me, and asking if we can talk soon."
"Oh man! Stan's such an asshole!" I blurt out, and immediately regret it, because I know that even though they are fighting right now, Kyle hates it when people badmouth Stan. It's all right for Kyle to do it, but whenever Kenny does it, Kyle jumps right down his throat.
I'm about to apologize, but instead of getting mad Kyle just says, "Dude, should I try talking to him?"
"AH! GAH!" I mutter uncomfortably, because this is such an important question that Kyle's asking me, and I'm worried that I won't give him the right answer, but I just need to give him my honest opinion, right?
"I don't think that you should..." I start, and immediately backtrack. "Well, not unless you really want to talk to him." But than I remind myself that Kyle is my friend, and I should probably tell him what I know, "But Kyle, I've sort of heard Stan and Wendy broke up again."
"Yeah, dude, I already know. Kenny told me. They had a fight because Wendy turned his proposal down, if I ignore him for a few days, they'll probably get back together again, that's how it works with them."
"Ah, I see, so I guess you also heard that Wendy's pregnant?" I tell him.
"Yeah, dude, I know that, but I promised Stan I wouldn't tell anyone, so how did you find out?"
"GAH- I probably shouldn't say then." I get nervous, because Red told Craig, and Craig told me, but he told me not to repeat it, so I just really fucked up.
"It's alright, I won't tell Craig that you told me, Tweek, just don't tell anyone else, okay?" Kyle says.
"Ngh- I won't, I promise." I mumble, and start searching for something else to say that might be helpful. I wonder if I should mention that Stan's been bullying someone, but I'm pretty certain the whole school knows about that, so Kyle probably already knows too. I just feel really bad for the guy Stan's been picking on, because on Thursday I ran into him in the men's room and he looked like he'd been crying. But when I mentioned it to Craig he said I should mind my own business. Yeah I better do that.
My mind gets sidetracked, when I hear Craig enter the room and look up, "You better not be talking to Kenny," Craig lectures, and I shake my head and bust up laughing.
"I'm talking to Kyle." I say through my laughter, because Craig is naked except for an ugly blue hat that looks identical to the one he used to wear back in 4th grade, and he's carrying what I assume is breakfast on a tray table.
"Gah, why are you wearing that horrible thing?" I ask, and point to his head, as he sits the tray on my lap and crawls into bed next to me.
"What, this?" He asks, while pulling off the hat and tossing it to me. "I was cold."
"If you're cold, put on some actual clothes." I say helpfully, and Kyle starts laughing again, so I assume that he's overheard us.
"Why put on clothes, if I'm just going to take them off again?" Craig complains. He pulls the blankets over his legs and scoots right next to me.
"But where did you even find this?" I ask him as I pick up the hat and take a good look at it. It's obviously not the same one that he wore in 4th grade, because it looks brand new, and it's adult size.
"Thomas gave it to me for my birthday! He had it made especially for me!" Craig grins happily, and I realize that this must be what was in that nicely wrapped present. Had I only known the truth I would have disposed of that gift completely instead of just kicking it under the coffee table.
"Gah, why would he do such a thing!" I grumble to Craig, than return to my phone call.
"Sorry Kyle." I apologized for keeping him waiting.
"It's cool, dude, I need to go too. My mom has breakfast ready, but call me when you get back in town, so we can hang out," Kyle tells me.
"Okay, I'll call you when I get home tonight." I tell him, hang up, and set my phone aside.
Looking down at the large tray full of food that's sitting on my lap. I see overcooked scrambled eggs, nearly burnt pancakes, and undercooked toast. Only the donuts look edible, since Craig didn't have to cook those; there is also a big pitcher of orange juice. Which I move off to the night table to avoid spilling it.
"What happened to the bacon?" I ask, as I pick up a donut and take a bite out of it. I know there should be burnt bacon, because I can smell it.
"That kind of got a little too well done. I had to toss it," Craig admits shyly, and I smile, and lean over to give him a kiss on the cheek.
"Thanks for cooking," I tell him, and he smiles back, and picks up a piece of toast. "Once we're married I can do this every morning." He offers cutely, and I don't have the heart to tell him that he can't cook.
Instead I smile, and nod happily. "I'm really looking forward to eating your cooking everyday, Craig." Sometimes when you're in love you need to tell an occasional white lie.
*The end****
Well, that's it for Tweek and Craig's main story. I do have a second spin-off that covers the Stan/Kyle storyline, as well as expanding the Thomas/Kyle romance. Not sure when that will happen, but if it's something you're interested in reading let me know. If not, thank you for reading Liars & Love, I hope you enjoyed it.
