Bliss on the Bridge
-twitch-
The sound of chalk squeaking on a chalkboard was truly one horrible sound.
I stared blankly forward as I sat agonizingly through Math. I was totally miserable. What a retarded thing that was for me to do! I mean, I know I've had bad ideas and done stupid things in the past, namely when I hung out with Stan, Kyle and Cartman when we were kids, but this took the cake.
The guilt was consuming me. I had to tell Craig what I did. But how the fuck do you explain something like this to someone??
'Yeah, haha listen Craig! I realized I was totally gay for you so I decided to see how you and everyone else would react if they thought you made out with Stan, ruining both your lives. Sorry hurr hurr.'
I banged my head on the desk. I hate my life!
-Dang! Dang!-
I blinked and looked up. It's about fucking time!
Everyone gathered their things and left the room. I sat there, like a lump of garbage. Which I was. How was I going to talk to Craig?...
"Mr. Tweak?" my Math teacher asked.
"Gah! What?" I asked.
"You realize the bell rang, right? Unless you would like some extra tutoring or something."
I ran out of the room.
---
My legs felt as heavy as cement blocks as I trudged in the direction of my locker. When I looked up, Craig was already there, flipping people off left and right.
I started to shake and rubbed the side of my neck as I met with my best friend. I tried to look inconspicuous as I looked him up and down. It was hard just to be around him without thinking of dirty things anymore… I must be really demented.
"Hey dude," Craig said, apathetically.
"Hey, man…" I said back.
"I seriously can't believe this shit. I have half a mind to pound in that fucktard Damien's face, and whoever wrote that Goddamn note!" Craig said, with anger in his voice.
My stomach grew knots in it instantly and I grew very nervous again. I really needed some Pepto Bismal or something today. "Gah! What note?" I asked, innocently.
"I got it out of Butters that it wasn't one of Damien's friends that 'supposedly' saw me and Stan, but he got a note in his locker saying what we 'did'" Craig said, making air-quotes when he emphasized his words, "and he just started telling everyone, without having any credibility from the note," Craig finished, furrowing his brow and flipping yet another person off.
I was GOING to EXPLODE.
"Oh, Jesus!" I blurted out, twitching. "I really hate Damien!" Which was true. But I hated myself even more right now.
"Fuck, so do I. What a faggot…" Craig trailed off, sounding discouraged. "You seriously believe me when I say that didn't happen… right?" he asked, looking at me with a worried expression, which I hated to think was adorable as fuck…
"Of course I believe you," I simply said, with a twitch.
"Kay… let's go, then," he said, more calmly than before. "I'll buy you some coffee at the corner store before we go to my place," he said, leading the way out the school.
I tugged hard at my shirt and pinched myself in self loathing, and followed him.
---
"Oh, man. Poor Butters, dude! You guys are horrible!" I said, shoving the awful truth about today's incident deep into my brain as we walked. Craig seemed to be in a much better mood, so there was no use in talking about it now. I took a long deep sip out of the coffee Craig bought me.
"Yeah, yeah," Craig said, smiling. "So after he left the classroom, me and Clyde started writing curse words in his essay paper, and then some dude with a flimsy helmet and shit ran into the room and started chucking garbage at both of us! It was really weird," Craig said, looking up thoughtfully. "The teacher shooed the freak out of the room, and all I heard was the kid yelling 'Professor Chaos takes bullshit from no one!' when he ran away."
I couldn't help but laugh. It was hilarious Craig still didn't know that was Butters' way of venting his anger.
I sighed and stopped for a moment, looking at the clouds.
Craig stopped a few feet ahead of me, turned and raised his eyebrows. "Tweek? You okay?" he asked.
God… he was asking me if I was okay? After what happened today? I groaned internally and cursed him for being amazing.
I looked at him and nodded. "I was just thinking that the sky looks pretty… because it's all sunny right here but there're huge storm clouds over in the south," I said, pointing with my free hand and taking another sip of coffee.
Craig smiled and rolled his eyes. "You and your stupid weather" he said, walking up to me and looking towards where I was pointing.
We stood there, silent for a minute. It was always a comfortable silence when I was with Craig. But it was more than that lately… It was just a feeling of… being whole, and warm inside; just having him next to me. I turned to face him.
He seemed to sense this and turned to face me as well, and gave me one of those smiles of his. I could feel my face redden at the sight and looked down. Oh, God…
"Dude, it is really nice out. Do you wanna take a detour to my place? Stop at Starks Pond or something?" he asked.
"Yeah, definitely," I said, and with one last gulp of coffee and a couple of grins we redirected ourselves towards the pond and solitude.

"Ah! Stop aggravating the damn duck!" I called to Craig, who was throwing some of my espresso beans at a large duck at the edge of the lake. I was sitting and shaking on a rock nearby.
"I'm not aggravating it! I'm feeding it!" Craig said, obviously lying.
Just then, a rumbling thunder rolled across the sky. We both looked up as we saw the last of the disappearing sunlight finally vanish.
"Aw, man. I didn't realize we were here for so long. The storm clouds are closing in," Craig complained, abandoning his post at the water and walking towards my rock.
"Ngh- yeah. It was sure nice while it lasted, though," I said at that, twitching and shooting a smile at Craig.
He smiled back and pulled on his cap. "Well, let's head on back, then." He said, holding out his hand.
I grabbed it and let him pull me up, with butterflies flying around inside me instantly when our skin touched.
We both started walking slowly towards the bridge when it started to drizzle.
"Aw, dude!" Craig said disdainfully.
I just laughed at his reaction to a little rain. "It's not so bad!" I said, tugging at my shirt and looking around.
I saw Craig look down and slow his pace out of the corner of my eye as we began crossing the bridge. The rain started to pick up a little more, and I shivered. Or I began to shake in response to Craig's sudden mood change. I couldn't really tell.
"Listen, Tweek. I… really want to tell you something," he said in a strange voice, walking to the railing of the bridge with his back facing me.
I felt my nerves pick up and I swallowed hard. What could he possibly want to tell me? Did he know about the note? Was he moving away to Canada? Did he get a girlfriend?? Oh God, oh Jesus, calm down.
"Y-you do?" I said shakily.
"Uh, yeah…" he said, as he apparently stared into the river filling with raindrops.
I continued to shake and stared at the back of his head, my brain aching from curiosity.
Again, we stood in silence for a moment while our heads and backs got wetted down and a few more rumbles of thunder invaded the silence.
"I dunno," Craig said, obviously struggling to find words to say. "Sometimes I feel like… I'm holding you back. Like, relationship wise."
My eyes widened and it felt like the butterflies in my stomach were on Prozac now. "Wh- what?" I stuttered.
"It's just, we're always together and stuff, you don't really have any space to get a girlfriend or something… I'm just…" Craig's head lowered. His shirt was soaked and clinging to his frame. I bit my lip as I let my eyes wander down his back. "I just… fuck…" he continued quietly.
"…God, Craig…" I said, probably sounding a lot more turned on then I would have liked, and slapped a hand over my mouth. I didn't mean to say that!
Craig turned his head, while maintaining his position on the railing. "What?" he asked in a curious tone.
I bit my lip harder, as if to try and stop the inevitable from coming out. Namely myself.
"You're so fucking hot…" I let out, tearing my eyes from his wet body and redirecting them to the bridge below me.
Oh, my God.
No, dear Jesus! I didn't just say that!
He remained the way he was for a couple of seconds, then his eyes widened slowly and he turned his body to face mine. "What?" he repeated.
"Ngh…" was all I managed to muffle out, as I brought both my hands to the back of my head and I bit my lip again.
"Tweek…" he said, almost so quietly the rain drowned it out, and he cocked his head at me.
thump… thump…thump…
I couldn't tell if the sound was my own pounding heart or footsteps. When I looked back up, I saw Craig walking towards me. I felt my senses rise and parts of my mind go numb when he embraced me… and the next thing I knew his warm lips were pressing into mine. Oh, God… total ecstasy.
I couldn't help myself. I raised my hands up behind Craig's head and gently pressed his lips harder into mine. I felt Craig's hands slink around my waist, pulling me closer into his body, and my knees weakened.
I parted my lips slightly and pulled back the smallest bit to get a quick breath of air. In response, Craig aggressively pulled me even closer, running one of his hands up to my neck and opened my mouth further with his tongue. Pleasure flooded through my entire body.
"Nnn-" was all I could utter as I let Craig dominate me and back me into the other side of the bridge. He rolled his tongue around with mine and wrestled with it, until I finally fought back, opening my mouth wider and sliding my tongue into his mouth. He retracted his own tongue a bit and played with mine. I ran mine over his bottom lip, and my usual habit of biting my lip was transferred over and I nipped his lip lightly, tugging at it.
We both opened our eyes, and I looked up into his dark, beautiful gaze. I released my gentle hold on his lip and looked down, our bodies still pressed together.
"I… I'm sorry… I'm so sorry, Craig…" I gripped his shoulders tightly. The rain continued to fall relentlessly. I couldn't think of anything else to say…
Craig just continued to stare at me, and blinked. He pressed his nose to mine and I looked back into his eyes in response. He closed his eyes once more and just kissed me. A simple, perfect, loving kiss. I don't think I'd ever felt pure bliss in my whole life until that very moment.
When he pulled away, I couldn't help but smile. My cheeks felt warm even though the rain was cold.
"I think that's what I really wanted to tell you," Craig said, with a smirk.
I just smiled wider and pulled him into the tightest hug I'm sure he ever had.
I finally got it. I had Craig here in my arms. My suspicions were right, after all. I couldn't believe I finally had my memory of me and Craig kissing… and I hoped there would be a lot more.
Now, there was just school to deal with tomorrow. But, I knew what to do. I knew it would all be alright. It was one of the rare times my urges to twitch and jitter vanished... and I just sunk into the embrace with my Craig.
A/N: Gawww... T.T Yay for making out in the rain. We all love those scenes, don't we? XD
It was really fun writing this chapter to be honest 8D And now there's just school to deal with! -dun dun DUN.-
Well, kinda. o.o
I was thinking of adding a bonus chapter about what was up Kyles ass with the whole Stan thing, but I don't know. Tell me, people! Bonus chapter or not? XD
See you soon. :3
