A few days had passed and Kenny wasn't lying when he said he wanted to be friends with me. The blond followed me around when he wasn't with his own group, which kind of pissed me off. I was used to Tweek being a bit clingy, but now I have two blonds practically clinging to my sides. A sigh passed through my lips as I went to the bathroom to get just a moments alone. Staring into the mirror, I took off my hat and ran fingers through my raven locks before pulling the hat back on. I never really found myself to be that attractive. I glanced at my features and brought a hand to touch my lips, my teeth weren't completely fucked up anymore since I had braces in middle school, but I won't lie, I'm still self-conscious every now and then. I would never let that show, no one but me needs to know what thoughts filter through my mind. As if on some sort of cue, Kenny came into the bathroom. We didn't have this class together, so he must have some fucking 'Where is Craig Tucker' radar because as soon as he saw me, he pulled his hood off and had the dorkiest grin I had ever seen. Well, there goes my peace.
"Craig! I didn't know you were here. Is something wrong?" The grin tracing his lips had molded into a soft smile as the blond went to stand beside me, his blue eyes never leaving my face. Kinda creepy...
"No, I just wanted a break is all." I kept my gaze forward before turning my attention to the smaller male. My eye was still slightly black from our fight a few days prior, and Kenny brought his hand up to gently rub the bruised flesh. What the fuck?
"I see.." He trailed off as he kept fingers on the bruise. As if coming back to reality, Kenny shook his head and retracted his hand to his side, a pink hue forming on his cheeks. Was he blushing?
"Uh... You okay...? You look a bit flushed..." My eyes locked with Kenny's bright blue ones and he let out a nervous chuckle before he backed away a bit.
"I'll see you later, Craig!" And he sprinted from the bathroom, leaving me confused, to say the least.
Whatever. He isn't my problem. Begrudgingly I made my way back to class and plopped down in my seat. Apparently, while I was gone the teacher had made the remaining time strictly for studying. Fuck that. I placed my chin into the palm of my hand and drifted off. Soon, I awoke to the bell and I stretched my arms over my head before standing up. That was my last period so, I was free from this hell. I grabbed my things out of my locker before walking out of the school. Glancing around, I saw Kenny with his friends and Tweek with Clyde and Token. Nope. Not today, I want to be alone. I hurriedly made my way through the crowd and hoped neither of them saw me. Once I was far enough away from the school, I debated on where to go. Stark's Pond was way too obvious. Mall, no. I don't want to go home and be nagged to death by my mom, that and I don't want to deal with my hormonal bitch sister. God, this is the time that South Park fucking sucks. I opted to just walk and stop wherever I saw fit. After awhile, I decided to make my way through the forest, I know there is a clearing I can be alone in. A few minutes later I found the clearing, which was just a small meadow with a few wildflowers here an there. Other than that, it was empty and quiet. I threw my bag to the ground and plopped down before lying down.
My hands under my head, I stared up at the clouds overhead, trying to make some sort of shapes out of them. Only thing I saw was clouds, I had always had a shitty imagination. Hell, the only games I played as a kid were ones everyone else made up and I just went along with them. Like, the Stick of Truth, or Lord of the Rings, hell, I even played with the Harry Potter kids some. I just closed my eyes and let my thoughts wander. Of course, my thoughts focused on what happened in the bathroom earlier with Kenny. The hell even happened? He was basically caressing underneath my eye then became a flustered fuck and ran off. I don't get that kid. Then again, I really don't understand most people. Slowly, my thoughts transitioned to Tweek. He had been acting really odd the past few months. He was the best friend I had, so I actually picked up on it. He had been more clingy than usual, and when he wasn't a twitching mess, he always looked like he had something to say. He never said shit though. What the hell is going on with everyone?
I groan as I hear my phone buzzing in my pocket, moving a hand I pulled my phone out and saw that it was Tweek calling me, so I answered.
"Hello?" I stated, waiting to hear his spazzy screaming through the other end.
"Ah..! Hey, Craig.. W-Where are you? I... I was going to see if you wanted to hang out... Ngh..! Only if you want to though!" And, there was the usual spaz.
"Ah.. I'm just.. Hanging out by myself... What did you have in mind...?"
"By yourself? Ah.. Oh! I was... Agh! I was wondering if you wanted to come to my house and, uh.. Just hang out..?" He sounded a bit flustered, I could hear how shaky his voice was, which was oddly different than usual since he was always fucking shaking and twitching.
I hesitate before letting a sigh pass. "Sure, I'll be over in a few." I didn't bother waiting for his response and ended the call. Slipping the phone back into my pocket, I hopped up and slung my bag over my shoulder. Maybe now he'd say whatever it was he has been wanting to. Leaving the woods, I walked to his house which was fairly close to mine. Once there, I walked into his house and sat my bag down before shutting the door behind me. I was used to letting myself in, so I went up to his bedroom. Knocking before I went inside, the blond was just sitting on his bed and as soon as I walked in he jumped out of bed. He seemed more twitchy than usual. This should be good.
"Ah! Craig! H-Hey. Um, sit down! I... I actually want to talk.." He was gripping the bottom of his shirt till his knuckles turned white and his cheeks were flushed. I abide and sit down on the blonds bed, which he promptly sat beside me.
"So, what do you want to talk about...?" I turn my gaze to his and his bright green eyes were scanning my features, he almost looked kind of needy. Needy as in, he looked like he wanted to cling to my like a damn koala.
"I... Ngh! I was wondering if you liked anyone? I-If not that's cool! Ah! I mean, I-I know that girl broke up with you. But.." Tweek twitched every so often as he spoke and I narrowed my gaze, trying to figure him out.
" I don't know. Why ask...?" I was about to say something else when I noticed an abrupt change in the small blond, he almost looked confident. Tweek stared at me for a moment before I noticed him move his small hands to cup my cheeks. Without any warning, he leaned in and connected our lips. His eyes faltered shut and his dark eyelashes were resting on rosy cheeks. My eyes only widened as I slowly realized what the fuck was happening. Tweek, my best friend, was kissing me. My cheeks grew hot, more so from sheer confusion.
Tweek pulled away from the kiss and dropped his hands to his lap, his body starting to shake. "I... I really like you Craig! Ngh... I have for awhile... I-I know you probably don't like me and that's fine! I-I just really wanted to let you know... Ah! I'm sorry though, I shouldn't have kissed you. Oh man, I screwed up! I'm sorry!" He looked at me with those emerald eyes which seemed to glisten, I could see tears starting to form in the corners of his eyes and it actually broke my fucking heart. I, actually didn't have feelings for him. Just seeing him like this made me wish I did. God dammit.
"Tweek, I... I don't feel the same... I actually, don't like anyone at the moment... I'm sorry... But, don't be sorry. I'm happy if you think of me high enough to like me..." I gave the blond a soft, genuine smile before I gently wrapped my arms around him. That was when he started to cry, his body quaking with each sob as his hands wrapped around me, gripping the back of my shirt.
Tweek had buried his face into my chest as he kept sobbing. I feel like shit. My best fucking friend is crying, because of me. I knew what he was going to say would be big, but... I never actually thought he'd confess. I just held him closer, using my hands to rub his back in a soothing manner, I hated this. I hated seeing him cry. Tweek was a spaz, but I have never actually seen him cry.
"Tweek... You're my best friend, and nothing is going to change that... I'm really sorry... I wish I liked you back, I fucking do... I just, I was just dumped and I don't know if I'll like anyone for awhile... Please, just, don't cry..." I could hear him sob more as I spoke and his grip only tightened around me. Holy shit. Just how much did he like me? If it was only a crush he wouldn't be sobbing like this... Oh, god fucking damn it. I literally just broke my best friends heart. I opened my mouth to speak again but no words came. I only tightened my hold on the blond and muttered soothing sentences every so often.
It was some time later that Tweek had finally quit crying, his eyes red and puffy. I frowned before kissing his head. I then hesitated before taking my hat off and slipping it onto the blonds head. I really wasn't good at comforting people. I stood up and hugged Tweek goodbye before grabbing my bag and exiting his house. Wow. What a day, what else could fucking happen? I sighed and walked towards Stark's Pond, I needed to think. I arrived at Stark's Pond and saw Kenny sitting on the bench, his face buried into his hands. Great, is everyone fucking upset today? I walked up quietly only to hear the blond muttering to himself.
"Fucking idiot... Probably scared him off... God dammit. Just had to fucking touch his face then run off... For fucks sake, what is wrong with me?" Kenny was murmuring to himself but I heard it all. So, I have managed to make two people upset today. Good one, Craig.
I approached slowly and sat down beside of Kenny, gently placing a hand on his shoulder, and now to act dumb. "Hey... Are you okay...?"
Kenny jumped and immediately stared at me, his eyes widening as he opened his mouth to speak. "How long have you been here...?"
"Just got here..." It wasn't a total lie, but I'll act like I didn't hear anything. Kenny sighed in relief and nodded.
"I'm just thinking is all, I had a bad day." He spoke softly as he kept his gaze fixated on the ground. Okay, he won't look at me..
"Yeah... So did I..." I stated, my eyes never straying from Kenny's slightly freckled face. He really was way too cute... I blink at my own thoughts and shake my head.
"Really...? What happened?" He finally turned to face me, his bright blue eyes staring into my own. My heart skipped a beat as he looked at me. What the actual fuck?!
"Uh... Tweek told me he liked me... Then cried on me... So, I realized he wouldn't cry that much over just a crush, so.. He is probably in love with me and I just broke his heart." I couldn't help but to stare at Kenny, which he noticed because as soon as he realized, his cheeks turned pink.
"Really... Tweek likes you... Do... Do you like anyone...?" I could feel my own cheeks heating up. Why did him asking me make me feel this fucking weird? Holy hell, do I actually have some feelings for this asshole? After breaking Tweek's heart, I'm going to realize how I feel about someone else? Can my life actually get any worse?
"I... I think I do... Which, makes me feel like shit because I just broke his heart, and here I am, realizing I like someone else. Am I an asshole?" I blurted this all out and Kenny turned to face me fully, his ocean blue eyes pulling me in a trance. I seriously got lost in them. Dammit, Tucker...
Kenny had a smile on his face, although, I could tell it was laced with a hint of sadness. He then moved his hands to cup my cheeks, his thumb gently grazing over the flesh. Fuck, my face is getting hot. "You aren't an asshole... You'd be an asshole if you would have lied and said you liked him... Can... I ask who you like...?" I've only been talking to Kenny for what, four days? Why the hell does he make me feel this way? My heart was racing as I felt his hands against my cheeks. They were surprisingly soft. I was at a loss for words. So, I just stared at him. That is, until I gave in and moved my own hands to cup the blonds freckled cheeks. His face flushed and I leaned in slowly before kissing him.
My eyes were shut but I could tell he was confused, until I felt him kiss back. Kenny's hands slowly moved to run through my raven locks until he gripped at my hair and pulled me close. I felt like an even bigger asshole than I did before but, I liked Kenny. He was annoying as fuck, clingy, a pervert, and a guy who just threw himself into my life, but god, he drives me crazy. I pull my hands away and wrap them around Kenny's slender waist before I deepened the kiss. Against all my thoughts to pull away, I bit his lower lip and he complied by opening his mouth and I slipped my tongue into Kenny's warm mouth. Moving my tongue around, exploring all that I could, Kenny moved his tongue against mine, almost in a fight for dominance, but he slowly melted into my arms and I kept the heated kiss before pulling away to catch my breath. I pressed my forehead against Kenny's for a moment, the only sound was the soft huffs and pants we both emitted. That is, until I heard a gasp. I jerked away only to see Tweek standing behind us.
Fuck, fuck, fuck. MOTHER FUCKER. I could literally see his heart break into a million fucking pieces as I stared at him. He still had my hat on his head, which, hurt even worse. Kenny was also staring at Tweek with widened eyes before the twitchy blond burst out in tears and ran off with no hesitation. Without thinking, I pulled away from Kenny and ran after the other blond. What the fuck did I do?!
"Tweek! Please stop!" I ran as fast as I could, but for his stature, he could run pretty damn fast. It was probably because he was always hyped up on enough coffee to energize a damn army.
The blond only ran faster, but he was crying so his vision had been blurred so, the twitchy blond fell to the ground and only curled himself into a ball, his sobs escalating. Soon, I caught up and quickly wrapped my arms around him. Tweek however, didn't like that, because the next thing I knew my cheek stung. He slapped me. My arms dropped to my sides as Tweek stood up.
"D-DON'T FUCKING TOUCH ME TUCKER! D-Don't talk to me! Go the fuck away! You say you don't like anyone, then you leave my house and kiss Kenny! I only followed you because I watched you leave, and when you didn't go home, I was worried I upset you! But no. J-Just, fuck off! Fuck off and leave me alone!" Tweek had tears rolling down his cheeks before he ran into his house and slammed the door, locking it so I couldn't follow.
What did I do? My best friend hates me. He hates me. I didn't know how to feel. But, my body did. I felt a warm wetness on my cheeks and shakily rose a hand to feel my cheek, only to realize I was crying. That realization only made it worse and the tears came on faster until I was loudly sobbing. I covered my face with my hands until I felt someone wrap arms tightly around me. I uncovered my eyes to see that it was Kenny. No. That's the reason Tweek hates me in the first place. Ignoring my sobbing, I jerked out of Kenny's hold and stood up. Backing away, I could only shake my head no before I ran to my house and slammed the door. I ran to my bedroom, shutting the door before curling up in my bed. See, this is why I fucking hate emotions. I fucking hate everything.
A/N: Okay, so. I hurt myself writing this like legit tears. But, I hope no one hates me for this chapter. Trust me, it hurt me to hurt them so.
