South Park; Not normal? (CREEK) chp.4
"Ya, actually, I was waiting for you to come back out of the forest, but you never did, so I came back in looking for you." Touché, I was looking for him. (But I was lost) I followed the smaller boy in front of me to the exit of this forest. I was thinking what I should do now.

'What should I do now?' That thought ran through my head over and over. I lay in bed staring out my window. Just a few hours ago I had gotten lost in the forest and was saved by Tweek… to me, this seemed like it should have been the other way around. I closed my eyes hoping to fall asleep. I closed my eyes to darkness and what seemed a second, opened my eyes again and it was light outside my window, but seemed cloudy. I turned my head to look at the clock and it read 11:24 am. I decided to finally roll out of bed and get dressed. I put on a pair of jeans and a blue hoody. Ever sense 4th grade, most of my wardrobe has always been blue. I walked down stairs and grabbed a bowl and poured some cereal. I was startled by the buzzing phone in my pocket.

"Hello?"

"GAH! GAAAAH!!" obviously it was Tweek.

"Dude! Tweek, what's wrong?"

"GNNNGH! I-I don't know what to do!"

"What are you talking about?"

"W-well, for the project-" I relaxed. I should have known it was about something like this, he freaks out over the littlest possible things. "I-I don't have any supplies and-and stuff!!"

"Tweek…" I just knew I was going to end up doing most of the project. "Well, I have some supplies, I guess I can come over and bring them to you."

"GAH! JESUS, THANK YOU!" I hung up and sighed. I may love him, but, MAN, can he be over dramatic! (That's what you get for drinking 12+ cups of coffee a day) I started looking around the house for supplies. It was harder then I thought trying to just find glue, construction paper, scissors, and a box. Once I got all the shit I needed I put it all in a bag and started heading out the door.

"Where are you going Craig?" My mother asked.

"I'm delivering this stuff to Tweek. It's for a literature project." I flipped her off and opened the door.

"Alright, don't be to long, I heard on the news there was supposed to be a storm." I went out side and the wind was strong. It also seemed a lot colder then normal. I hid my face in my hoody. The trip to Tweek's house that normally lasted 10 minutes ended up being around 30 from the coldness and wind. I rang the door bell and I heard foot steps almost sprinting to the door. It swung open and Tweek pulled me in.

"Whoa! What's the rush?"

"I-I'm sorry! I didn't realize the weather was so harsh! I-I wouldn't have asked you to come! I would have just went to the store by myself and gotten stuff but-"

I cut Tweek off because if I had just stood there listening to Tweek, he would have gone on and on. "Tweek, its fine! I'm here now anyways, so here's the stuff."

"Gnn, ah, thanks!" I handed Tweek the bag, and his hand brushed up against mine. "JESUS! Y-your hand! It's freezing!" I blushed and quickly lowered my hand.

"Ya, it's fine. I think I should go now before the storm gets worse." I started to turn around, but Tweek grabbed my arm with both hands. "W-wha?"

"AH! Y-you c-can't go!" I blushed looking down at the smaller blonde who then realized what he had just said and started to turn the same color. "GAH! W-what I mean is, you should stay at least until the storm dies, or you could die out there!" He's being over dramatic again. I couldn't just say no.

"Um, sure." Tweek eased and let go and we walked back inside.

"Do you want some coffee?" Tweek peered over his shoulder and he clearly still had a bright red blush across his cheeks.

"Sure." I normally don't drink coffee, but for some reason when Tweek offers, I don't say no. I sat down at his counter and gazed out the window. "Hey, where are your parents anyway?"

"T-they are on their anniversary vacation trip."

"Mmm." I said as if it was an 'ok.' I watched the sky grow darker. The wind was so strong it was making howling noises and bending the trees. I was kind of glad I didn't go home now; I probably WOULD have died out there. Well, Kenny would anyways.

"Do you mind if I turn on the news? The storm looks like its getting worse."

"Go ahead. GAH! I'm almost done with the coffee."

"K." I went in Tweek's family room and sat down on the couch and swung my arm on the back of the couch. I turned the T.V on to the news and listened.

"And now the news." What a coincidence, right when I turn on the TV, the news starts. "South Park is experiencing a snow storm. Due to the extreme weather, stores and shops are closing so they can get home as soon as possible." Shit! This could be bad! "We will be getting 24-30 inches of snow today and I suggest that we all bundle up and stay home. The temperature is now 14 degrees and dropping, tomorrow-"

"H-here's your coffee." Tweek handed me my coffee and then he took a gulp from his own and sat down next to me. My arm was still on the back of the couch and was almost completely around Tweek. I started to blush but didn't pull my arm away; it might have been really awkward if I did. I could feel myself tense as I stared at the TV.

"The weather is getting really bad, and it's getting worse. I don't know when I will be able to go home." I glanced out the window, and despite the fact it was 1:30, it was almost black out side now and the wind seemed fierce!

"W-well, if it doesn't clear up by tonight, y-you can always stay over."

"Oh, I need to call home and tell them I'm alright and I'm at your house right now, I left my phone at home and I bet they have been trying to call me and got the ridiculous idea of me being dead. Can I use your phone?"

"GAH! Y-ya." I got off the couch and my tension went away as I took my hand off the back of the couch, but I also felt a little sad. I picked up Tweek's house phone and dialed my home phone number. Someone picked up after the first ring.

"Hello?" My mothers voice sounded worried.

"Mom? It's me, Craig."

"CRAIG! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?"

"I'm at Tweek's house. The storm had gotten really bad by the time I got to Tweek's house and I decided to stay until the storm died down. He said if the storm doesn't die by tonight I can spend the night." There was a silence from the other line.

"…Alright Craig. Just, be good and don't cause trouble for the Tweak's"

"K, I'll call later if I decide to spend the night."

"Alright." I hung up the phone and took a sip from the coffee. I headed back to the couch where Tweek was sitting and sat down. This time I didn't put my hand on the back of the couch.

"W-what'd she say?" Tweek looked over at me with questioning eyes.

"She said it was fine, but if I spend the night, I have to call her to let her know, my mom I mean."

"Ya…" The silence began again and it started to grow awkward. "C-Craig, you seem kinda tense, are you alright?" Damn it! He could sense the tension!

"Y-ya. I'm fine…" I started to get flash backs of what happened the night me and Tweek kissed. I could feel my face getting hot from the thought.

"You don't seem fine." Tweek was looking at me with a worried face; He looked so cute when he had an expression like that on his face. "Is it because… of the k-kiss?" We both instantly started to blush. WHY did he HAVE to bring this up?

"T-Tweek, I-it's just…I've been really confused about some things and my feelings and I have been skittish lately about what I should do-" If I didn't shut the fuck up soon, I was going to confess soon! This wasn't good!

"y-your f-feelings?" We looked at each other and watched each others faces turn colors.

"Um, ya… Tweek, I think I-" I was cut off to the TV turning off all of the sudden and the lights flickering.

"GAH! I-I don't have the flipper!" The lights all turned off and it turned dark. It was silent for a few seconds."GAH! JESUS CHRIST! WE ARE GOING TO DIE! HOLY SHIT MAN! TOO MUCH PRESSURE!"

"TWEEK! SETTLE DOWN! We AREN'T going to die!"

"B-but the HEATER is turned off and we will f-FREAZE to DEATH!" GOD what am I supposed to do with this guy? I needed to find a light somewhere. OF COURSE! I went over to his fire place and searched for the key that turned it on. I consider it sad that I know where everything is in Tweek's house. I found the key and put it in the key hole and turned it. Right then, flames warmed my face and added light to the room. I wonder what he would do if I wasn't with him right now. I could feel the room getting cooler by the second.

"Tweek, come over here or you really will freeze to death." I smiled warmly over in his direction while I said those words.

"K-K…" He got off the couch and sat next to me. His face turned from a scared frightened face to a relaxed 'in-awe' kinda face, probably from the nice warm fire place.

"I wonder how I'm going to call Mom or Dad. Mom doesn't have a cell phone, and my dad is helpless with technology. Going out side right now is pretty much a one way ticket to death." Tweek was silent staring at his coffee cup taking a drink every few seconds.

"U-um…"

"Hm?"

"GN! W-well, before the lights all turned off… you were saying something…" My heart started racing! I remember I was about to confess! I was talking with out thinking. Then A strong gust of freezing wind came from the chimney. "gnnnngh…"

"Uh, I think I'll go get some blankets!" with that I went up the stairs, trying not to trip on anything in the dark, and opened the closet door at the top stairs. I pulled out 2 pillows so we wouldn't get uncomfortable leaning against the fire place, I had a feeling we might be there all night. The only problem, there was only one comforter. "Fuck it…" I grabbed it and headed back down stairs. Tweek was holding his legs close to his chest not letting any heat escape from his body. "Um, there was only one comforter, here." I handed him the comforter and the pillow.

"W-what about you? Y-you will freeze!"

"Nah, I'm fine, I have a jacket on, you only have that poorly buttoned shirt." I gave a little smirk too the blonde.

"No! It's not fine!" Tweek inched closer and wrapped half of the blanket around me. He was so close to me, I could feel his body heat, and it felt nice. I just hoped Tweek couldn't see the huge blush on my face. I kept my hands in my lap so they wouldn't do anything on their own manner. I wish this moment with Tweek huddled to my side with us sharing one blanket would last long! I looked down at Tweek and he had red cheeks. I couldn't tell If it was because he was too hot or cold or because of the fact he had one arm around my shoulder to keep the blanket from falling. "This time, don't get up for any reason…" I stared at him with shock. "W-what were you saying before the lights turned off?" I didn't know what to do. My heart was about to explode from nervousness. I was silent. Tweek's hand was still around my shoulder. What should I do?

"I love you." I spit out. I said it! A relief feeling swept over my body, but so did a worried and scared feeling. Tweek shot his head up and I gazed into his eyes. He had a look on his face that was in total shock.

"W-what?"

"Tweek, I'm in love with you." He still had a completely shocked look on his face. His eyes were wide and his mouth was partially open. "I-I understand if you don't feel the same way about me and never want to talk to me again, but I really truly do love you, Tweek." I turned my head away. I didn't want to hear his answer. Tweek's hand tightened on my shoulder and his other arm wrapped around the front of my body and he buried his face in my right arm. He was hugging me tightly, and didn't want me to move. My arm started to feel wet.

"I LOVE YOU TOO!" He was crying? Out of joy? "I DON'T WANT YOU TO LEAVE ME!" I was happier than I have ever been in my life. I felt a tear run down my cheek too. It was definitely out of joy. I moved my hand to his wet face. I tilted it up so I could see into his eyes. We were now both crying. I laughed once 'cause I was acting like a five year old. I lowered my head so our eyes were at level. Our noses were now touching.

"touché." I pressed my lips to Tweek's soft and tender ones. As gay as this may sound, this time the kiss felt more wonderful then the first. We separated from each others lips and looked into each others eyes. I embraced Tweek with my arms tightly around him. He did the same. I lay against the fire place and ever so often would say the 3 words, "I love you." Even after he fell asleep in my arms I continued to say those words. "I love you so much…" was the last thing I said before I closed my eyes, and drifted off to sleep.
