I wake up and Cartman isn't anywhere in his room. I lie around in his bed for a while and stare at the alarm clock. It's 7:35am, Cartman's probably getting ready for school. I get up, get dressed, wash my face and head downstairs. Cartman is at the table eating breakfast, his mum isn't anywhere. So I guess it's just polite to join the fatass.
"Where's your mum?" I question pulling out a chair.
"I asked her to get me some food. So you could walk around freely, but I haven't come to the plan to keep you here." He responds.
"I guess I could just sit outside." I say pouring cereal.
"Oh please. I wouldn't expect a Jew to have survival skills." He jokes.
"And I wouldn't expect a fat 'big boned' kid to last long anywhere." I say glaring at him.
"I guess you could just stick in my room, I'll lock the door and tell mum to stay out of it." He suggests.
"That would be better." I say staring into his big brown eyes.
"I'll be back after school." He says finishing his breakfast and grabbing his bag.
"See you fatass." I smirk.
I finish the breakfast I poured and wash the bowl, so Cartman's mum doesn't know I'm here. I put it away and walk upstairs. I head to Cartman's room and notice the sticky note stuck to the door. It reads:
'Mum, sorry I ran out. I had to go to school, by the way. I've locked my door, sorry for the inconvenience but Mr. Kitty keeps pissing on my floor. I've cleaned it up but I don't want anymore cat piss. For the next four days I will keep my door locked to teach Kitty a lesson. Thanks mum.'
It's pretty smart what Cartman can come up with in just a click. He may not be the brightest kid, but he has his plans. I walk in and jump on Cartman's bed, I decide to see if he has any games on his phone. Damn locked, I try a few pass codes but none of them are working. What is it spells something? 5 9 5 3, HA got it. It spells Kyle? God Cartman you must really like me to have that as a pass code. I look though his phone and many of his messages were to random people from China or Russia. I play a game that's pretty interesting, Gravity Duck. Really you just have to get the duck to an egg. But by pressing buttons he goes upside down, left and right. Pretty cool game.
I put the phone back and hear Cartman's mum pull in. I grab my things and place them somewhere else out of sight, even though the doors locked. It's better to be safe then sorry. I lie back on the bed and sigh, I hear Cartman's mum come upstairs and read the note.
"Oh, Poopsikins. Don't worry I'll get Mr. Kitty in better state when you come home." She chimes.
She really adores Cartman, even with all his perks. I mean we all adore him for his perks, or maybe I just do. What if I do like Cartman? What if we end up being together? What would Stan think about it? Or even my parents. Questions run through my mind about being gay. I never really thought about this concept and now with my feelings for Cartman. I just don't know. Maybe all will end well, or maybe things will just turn to total shit. For the rest of the day whilst I wait for Cartman, Stan and Kenny. I decide to just lie around and past time by closing my eyes and sleeping for a bit here and there. Usually I'd just wake up to Ms. Cartman vacuuming and doing usual housework. Soon enough the afternoon comes and I end up pacing around the room waiting for Cartman to get home.
"Come on fatass, it's like 3:30." I mumble.
I hear him come through the door and I hear a few other voices too. It's the boys, a smile spreads on my face. I run onto Cartman's bed and frantically jump on it, and sit quietly on his phone. I hear the door unlock and see all three of them walk in.
"Kyle!" Stan shouts running up and hugging me.
"Hey Stanley." I say smiling.
"Mph mphh." Kenny mumbles under his bright orange parker.
"Hey Kenny." I respond.
"So now what are we gonna do? You can't leave Cartman's room or you'll be caught by your parents." Stan inquires.
"I dunno, Cartman. Got any ideas fatass?" I smirk.
"We could all meet at Starks Pond tonight around 10?" He suggests.
"Mphh mphh mphhh." Kenny agrees.
"I'd probably be allowed, mums out and dads just half drunk all the time." Stan laughs.
"And I'm just sticking with Cartman." I reply.
"So tonight, 10:30 Starks Pond." Cartman informs.
We all agree, after 2 hours both Stan and Kenny have to go home. Me and Cartman sit up for a bit. He asked his mum to eat in his room, so I don't starve to death. He brought up some spaghetti and meatballs, he also grabbed a fork for me and told his mum he was extra hungry and asked for doubles. Now I know what your thinking, ooo spaghetti and meatballs. Like a romantic date. No, it just happened to be what she made and I quite enjoyed it.
"I'm stuffed, your mums a really good cook." I compliment.
"Yeh, she's alright." He laughs.
"So... About last night?" I question nervously.
"What about it?" He says grabbing the plate.
"What do you mean 'what about it' Cartman, we held hands." I comment.
"I-I-I don't know Jew." He stutters.
"So you like me?" I say looking up at him.
He doesn't answer he just grabs the plate and forks and heads downstairs. I sit cross legged and look around his room, I really can't wait for Starks Pond. Too see Stan, and apparently Kenny invited Craig and them. I wait around for Cartman to come back but it takes quite a while, fatass probably forgot and is sitting on the couch eating more food. After a while he comes back and acts normal, like the last thing I said to him didn't happen.
"What's the time?" He asks.
"I think it's about 9:30." I respond.
"Do you want a shower or anything?" He suggests.
"Actually yeh, some hot water would be great. But what about your mum?" I question.
"Shit, I didn't think of that. Look I'll stand out the front and um pretend I'm giving kitty a bath? You'd just have to have him in there with you." He contours.
"And what let Mr. Invisible wash the cat." I fumble.
"So what I have to go in there with you?" He reacts
"Well if we want it to make it gullible, just put the cat in the bath while I take a shower. And don't come in until it gets a bit foggy from the steam so you can't see me." I explain.
"Alright." He answers.
Cartman hands me a towel and I take in my set of clothes for Starks Pond. The first thing I do is turn the hot water on, so the faster it gets foggy, Cartman can come in with the cat to make the plan work. It's pretty good, I knock on the door to let him know he can come in. I grab the towel and wrap it around me, Cartman doesn't come in for a while he must've gone to get the cat. Good that means I can get undressed without him being in here. I get undressed as fast as I can, good done. I get in the shower and put the temperature to my liking, soon enough Cartman comes in.
"Alright just play with the cat." I state.
"Kay" he says stroking the cats fur.
I watch in cation as I wash my body in case Cartman tries to catch glimpses. All in all I washed my hair and I told Cartman to turn around when I was getting my towel, he did so and then I told him to leave so I could get changed. He did and in a matter of time I came out with my fresh clothes on. It was about 10:15 now, Cartman was already dressed and ready so he told his mum he was gonna go out to see some friends. I got out from the tree and met him down the bottom, we walked to Starks Pond in silence. When we got there no one was around.
"Was anyone else coming apart from Stan and Kenny?" I say swinging my legs on the log.
"I think Craig and Tweek are coming. Also Stan is bringing along Wendy and bitchy Bebe." He jokes.
"Nice nickname." I giggle.
"Yeh." He answers.
"When do you think they'll get here." I question.
"Probably soon, it's pretty much 10:30 now." He says checking his phone.
After a while Stan, Kenny, Tweek, Craig, Wendy and Bebe all come in a big group they must've collected each other from house to house to get here.
"Hey guys." Stan smiles.
"Hey fag." Cartman picks.
"No one said anything about the fatass being here." Craig snickers.
"Well if it weren't for him I wouldn't be here." I bicker.
"Wait Cartman rescued you from the stupid Centre?" Wendy questions.
"Yeh." I respond.
"So what was it like in the Centre?" Stan interrupts breaking the silence.
"Eh not that shabby. I had a room mate though, his name was Daryl." I explain.
"What was GAH he in for?" Tweek asks.
"Nothing really, he was taking part blame for something his best friend did. Henry." I say.
"Wait Henry Mathewston?" Kenny questions.
"Yeh, oh right. He told me to give this to you." I say handing him the bag. "Y'know Kenny you really shouldn't do that sorta stuff." I finish watching him stuff the bag in his jacket.
"Meh." He shrugs.
I end up telling the group the whole story about Daryl and Henry, about how they got torn apart and how I help bring their friendship back together. Craig and Tweek told some stories about how they found a dead rat in the sewerage line, it was pretty disgusting. Apparently it was all mangled and stuff, Kenny takes the opportunities to joke about sexual things, and most of them were actually pretty funny. I found myself laughing so hard I fell off the log and I heard the rest of them laugh even harder. But soon enough Wendy suggested Truth Or Dare.
"So Stan truth or dare?" She says flashing her eyes. Even though the two of them have broken up they still share a special bond and soon enough they'll probably get back together.
"Guh, Truth?" He gulps.
"Fine, do you still love me?" She smirks.
His face flushes pure red as he hangs his head low and answers the question.
"Yeh, I-I-I guess." He blushes.
"Okay then, ask someone else a question." She says.
"Alright, um Kenny?" He says looking around the circle.
"Dare." He says with a grin.
"Alright dare devil. I dare you to go take a swim in the pond." He laughs.
Kenny gets up and takes his hoodie off he also begins to take off his pants.
"Hey no one said fourth base naked." He chuckles.
"Yeh, but your dare wasn't that daring I decided to put in my own base." He laughs.
I hear Wendy and Bebe whisper to each other and laugh, Wendy looks at Stan and sighs. If she likes him why doesn't she just ask him out? I can never understand chicks.
"Well and for the ladies." Kenny winks.
Soon enough Kenny dives in the pond and laughs as he whips his hair back and shakes it. His blonde hair is soaked with water and the blonde front pieces of his hair are dripping little bits of water on his face.
"You coming back out?" Bebe giggles.
"I think I'll stay in here, it's pretty warm." He smirks.
"Alright but you have to truth or dare someone!" Stan shouts.
"Okay, Bebe. Truth or Dare?" He asks.
"Dare!" She shouts back at him.
Sheesh it's like dare central what happened? Anyway next thing you know, Bebe jumps in the water with Kenny. She's not naked but they're both swimming around in the shallow near us. I hear Cartman snicker in disbelief, as to how young we were to be doing this stuff.
"Okay my turn to dare someone," Bebe bobs in the water.
"It's truth or dare stupid." Cartman looks.
"Fine then truth or dare, Cartman." She grinned.
"Truth." He replies.
"Ugh, your no fun. Fine, how did it feel to get your ass beaten by a girl." She smirks.
"Pretty scary, I mean you guys know Wendy." He chimes taking a glare aside from him.
"I left you with nose bleeds and two black eyes Cartman." Wendy added.
"Yeh and you're a good fighter." He compliments.
"When did you go soft?" Stan pouts.
"Eh." He shrugs.
"Well do a truth or dare." Stan informed.
"Stan."
Stan gulped and took a look at Wendy then looked back at Cartman. Then me, I nodded for him to take a shot at it.
"Dare." He smiled.
I could see Cartman getting ready do to something ironic, surely enough I gave him a small nudge. He knew what it was for, he rolled his eyes and look at Stan.
"I dare you to kiss Wendy." He laughed.
"What?!" Stan remarks.
"What's wrong with me Stan?" She frowns.
"N-n-nothing, it's just y'know I'll vomit on you." He said with his head low.
"Fine be a pussy."
Cartman always picked on us, especially for backing out on things like this. But soon enough Wendy just went with it and kissed him. He vomited, but not on her he went into the lake line. And with that both Bebe and Kenny got out. They were shivering cold as the breeze hit them both.
"Truth or dare fatass." Stan glared.
"Well let's spice shit up, it's not like you give good dares anyway." He said folding up his arms.
"Kiss Kyle." He said wiping his mouth.
I was shocked, not only at Stan but at Cartman's pure red flushed face. Why would Stan do that? Wait did they know Cartman likes me? Did he confess over in the few days I was gone? Soon enough I look up at Cartman's bulky body. He looks deep through as if to say sorry. I didn't know what to think. He begins leaning closer, I hesitate to move but shuffle forwards. In the corner of my eyes I see Stan with mouth open as if he's surprised at me being okay with this. I'm surprised at myself for all of this. In a flash me and Cartman close the gap between us and kiss. It felt weird kissing another guy, especially Cartman. But it felt nice, he was very soft and warm. In the end we broke apart, Cartman did nothing but sit quietly after that and if he was asked a truth or dare he'd pick truth and answer the question. I didn't really say much either.
"It's pretty late, I'm gonna head home." Kenny said getting up.
"Yeh me too, I think we all oughta head home." Stan agreed.
We all got up and said goodbye, well I did anyway. Cartman just seemed to walk off. I caught up to him and slowed my pace when I got to his side.
"Cartman." I say.
"Yes." He answers.
"What do we do." I say kicking a stone along the path.
"We? What do you mean we?" He pondered.
"We both like each other. What stoping us." I implied.
"Our friends for one. Society, law, a lot of things for me." He listed.
"So I'm sure Stanley would be fine with whatever I'm going with." I assure.
"But what if were called fags?" He says with his pain felt eyes.
"Fuck them then." I say grabbing his hand.
"So what were a thing now?" He asks.
"I guess." I approved.
The walk home was pretty quite, except Cartman was pretty nervous of us being a 'thing'. I understand were he was coming from, no one is gay at school and he thinks everyone will look at us differently. I just hope Stan and Kenny approve of us, and hopefully the rest of the school. We get to Cartman's and he tells his mum I will be staying since it was a good opportunity and for me to walk freely around the house. I have to pretend to go to school though, it won't be that bad. I'll just hang around Starks Pond.
We get ready for bed and I have about 2 more days at Cartman's. It'll pretty good to go home though, not having to stay at Cartman's and finally going back to school. And most importantly seeing Ike. I've missed my little brother, he's my most favorited family member of all time. Sure we've had rough times, but he's my brother of course were gonna have arguments.
"When will we tell them." Cartman says taking of his beanie showing of his terribly adorable hat hair.
"Bring Kenny and Stan home with you tomorrow, I'll tell them everything." I answer.
"Night Kahl." He smiles.
"Night Eric." I say shuffling comfortably.
