Authors Notes: Uhhh… Camus is the philosopher dude who wrote The Myth of Sisyphus. Sisyphus is the dude in Greek mythology who was punished by the gods to push a large rock up to the top of a large hill, only to have it fall down the other side, and he had to return to the bottom and push it up again. Camus says that the myth explains the absurdity of life, and how the rock represents the things that we do, everyday, because we must and even though its absurd and stupid (not to mention pointless) to have to push a large rock up a hill only to have it fall down the other side, hey, that's life. Sisyphus is 'stronger than the rock', tho, and is able to continue doing useless, futile stuff because he wants to be in control of his life, and not have the rock control it.

Or something like that. Philosophy is some hard shit, let me tell you.

Uhhhh… and yeah, if you want to learn a bit about Philosophy, South Park and Philosophy: I learned something today… (edited by Robert Arp) is a great little book, I recommend it, especially if you've had a hard time understanding philosophy before. :3

Note: I apoligize if anything is grammatically wrong, or something, I woke up at 3 AM with this idea in my head, and had to write it down so I wouldn't fall asleep and forget it. Yeah.

Author: Zoshi the Confused
Rating: PG to M (it'll be all over the place)

Category: South Park

Genre: Fluff/Angst/Romance/Humor

Contains: A little bit of everything.

Kenny is in love with Kyle.

Kenny wishes he'd fallen for Stan instead. Stan is real; Stan can be touched and held and seen. Kyle is an ephemeral cloud spouting philosophy and living outside of the trapped little box the rest of the world lives in.

Kenny guesses that if Kyle were anything else, any more real, he wouldn't be able to love him as much..

Kenny listens as Kyle explains about Camus and Sisyphus and the rock and the absurdity of life. Kyle tells Kenny his deaths are his rock.

Kenny thinks, No, my love for you is.

Kenny discovers, with surprise, that Butters is in love with someone he can't have either. Frustrated and tired Kenny ends the day making the other blonde moan in the school bathroom. Kyle walks in half-way through, and Kenny just barely registers as he walks out just as suddenly.

Kenny feels dirty after, and Butters mutters about scrubbing himself raw when he gets home.

Kenny finds that Kyle doesn't speak to him anymore. Together, they sit watching Stan, backed by prescription medications and sheer will power, run the ball to the touchdown line. Kenny's anger and frustration and torture boil over as everyone around them celebrates a won game.

Kenny tells Kyle that if he hates him so much he should just leave him alone.

Kenny realizes just how stupid he really was. He sits, agonized, on the school steps during lunch for a week so he won't have to look Kyle in the face. At the end of seven days Kenny decides that some things are better out in the open.

Kenny wonders, if he phrases things right, whether Kyle might be willing to meet him half-way.
