Kyle made his way up the steps to his floor in the apartment.
"Kyle, open up dude!" Stan rapped on the door.
"Stan? What are you doing?" He cocked his brow.
"Knocking at your door, where did you come from?" Stan asked, lowering his hand from the door.
"I was out." Kyle opened his door and entered his home. He turned and looked at his best friend with a pained expression. "Why didn't you tell me Kenny was alive?"
"I was gonna but my kid got sick and I got busy taking care of him." Stan frowned a bit.
"You could have called." Kyle hung up his coat.
"Is that where you were?" The raven haired man smirked, noticing a hickey on the red head's neck.
"What? No!" Stan leaned over to Kyle and poked his neck. Kyle slapped his hand over the bruised skin and glared at his best friend. Stan laughed and entered the red heads home, closing the door behind him.
"So Kenny had the same feelings for you after all these years huh?" Stan said with a large smirk.
"Shut up dude." Kyle glared slightly at the other and headed to the kitchen.
"Look dude, I think it's great that he's alive and you two are together." Stan said, entering the kitchen seconds later.
"We're not together." Kyle said plainly, readying his kettle.
"You're not? What are you then? Fuck buds?" Kyle stiffened with wide eyes at the raven haired man's comment.
"No way, dude!" Kyle spun 180 degrees to look at Stan. The other man began laughing at Kyle's expression.
"Okay, Kyle, if you say so." He sat at the table. A melodic knock rang from the door into the kitchen. Kyle sighed as he walked to the door and slowly opened it.
"Who is it no-?" the blonde on the other side interrupted the red head with a small kiss then smiled.
"You forgot these in the bathroom." Kenny gently took Kyle's hand and placed the dog tags from before into it, closing his slender fingers around them.
"Hey Ken." Stan peeked around the door with a smile. Kyle inhaled deeply and closed his eyes, exhaling slowly through his nose.
"Hey Stan, how's the family?" Stan opened the door wider so he could see Kenny better.
"Great." A sly smirk fell on the dark haired man's lips as he looked over at Kyle. "Just great, hey Kyle, I'll catch you later alright? I have to take some stuff home to Wendy." Stan smiled; his lip quivering as he tried not to laugh at the red heads growing embarrassment.
"See you around man." Kenny waved as Stan vanished down the stairs. Kyle groaned in frustration. Kenny smiled and pulled Kyle into his chest, hugging him tightly. "What's wrong Ky?" he pulled the red head away and looked him in the eye.
"Stan knows what we did." He mumbled quietly.
"Well it's not exactly a secret." Kenny tilted his head and examined the large mark on Kyle's neck. "Especially with all the evidence right out in the open." He laughed, moving his finger to poke the bruised skin. Kyle grabbed it tightly and glared at the taller man.
"Don't even think about it."
"And what if I do?" Kenny smirked playfully.
"You'll regret it." Kyle continued to glare. With a bit more strength, Kenny pushed his finger to the discoloured flesh. Kyle let go of the blonde's finger and grabbed his sweater, pulling him into the apartment and closing the door. Using all of his weight, he managed to pin the blonde immortal against the door. Kenny's playful smirk remained glued to his mouth.
"Am I supposed to be regretting it yet dude?" the red head's glare intensified. He roughly tangled his fingers in the blonde mess of hair and pulled Kenny's mouth to his. Kenny wrapped his arms around Kyle's waist as their tongues battled for dominance. Kenny pulled away to speak but found himself pulled back into the kiss. The slender fingers entwined in his blonde locks tugged enough to send pleasant shivers of pain tingling down his spine and coursing toward his crotch region. At the first sign of Kenny's arousal, Kyle pulled away and headed to the kitchen. Kenny stood at the door, his mouth agape. "Where are you going Ky?" he followed not far behind.
"To make some tea, what does it look like?" Kyle cocked a brow, managing to keep a straight face as he looked at his love interest's expression. Kenny slumped onto a chair, pouting.
"You're so cruel." The blonde whined.
"I said you'd regret it." Kyle shrugged and continued making his tea, smirking as his back was turned to Kenny. Kenny sighed solemnly, resting his head on folded arms. "Do you want some tea?" The Jew asked as he brought his cup over.
"No, that's fine dude." Kenny continued to pout. Kyle smiled as he carefully nursed his tea. "You and Stan are still best friends right?" Kenny sat up; his brow's furrowed slightly with concern. Kyle nodded.
"Of course dude, why?" he cocked an eyebrow, setting his cup down carefully.
"I dont know, you just seemed a little cold to him earlier." Kenny shrugged. Kyle rolled his eyes at the memory of Stan's comment.
"You would have been too if he told you what he told me." He mumbled into his cup as he took another gentle sip.
"So what did he tell you?" Kenny's concern faded and was replaced by curiosity.
"Nothing important." Kyle looked into his cup, avoiding eye contact with the blonde across from him.
"C'mon Ky, what did Stan tell you?" Kenny smiled at Kyle's dainty discomfort. Kyle shook his head, refusing to tell the blonde. Kenny frowned mockingly. "Pretty please?" Kyle groaned.
"Fine, only if it'll make you quit pouting." He sighed as the immortal perked slightly and nodded. "Stan asked if we were together so I told him no then he asked if we were" he cleared his throat. "He asked if we were fuck buddies." Kyle closed his eyes, waiting for the laughter. The room was silent. He slowly opened his eyes and saw a confused look upon the blonde's face.
"We're not together?" Kenny tilted his head. Kyle's eyes slowly widened, filling with slight panic.
"I-Im sorry Ken, neither of us asked the other out and-" Kenny reached over and placed his fingers over the red head's smooth lips.
"Relax dude, I understand." He removed his fingers from Kyle's lips once he'd seen him relax. "I thought asking to be your jerk counted as asking you out." He smirked softly. "Kyle Broflovski, will you go steady with me?" Kenny asked in a gentle tone, griping the red head's fragile hand. Kyle sat still, stunned into silence. "Kyle?" Kenny waved his free hand in front of the Jew's eyes.
"Yeah, okay Kenny." Kyle smiled a large toothy grin, his cheeks reddening once again. Kenny stood and reached into the pocket of Kyle's pants and pulled out the dog tags, placing them back around the red head's neck.
"Great." Kenny said, placing a gentle kiss on Kyle's forehead. "I gotta get going, Mom wanted to have a family lunch or something, but I'll see you later okay?" Kenny smiled down at Kyle who nodded. A few minutes after the blonde left Kyle to solitude, his phone rang. He answered it on the third ring. "Hello?"
"Hey Jew boy, we need you to come in today." Eric yelled into the receiver over the blaring music. "Get down here now." Kyle groaned and hung up. He grabbed his jacket and headed out into the coldness of winter.
Kenny's truck rolled to a stop a block away from the club that Cartman owned. When it was his turn to go, the truck stalled and began to smoke. Kenny hit the steering wheel in frustration. He popped the hood and slid from the cab of his truck with a groan. "What now?" He wondered out loud as he pushed the hood skyward. Steam swirled in the air as the engine hissed. "Fucking great." Kenny glared at the truck.
"Looks like you could use some help." The blonde turned to look at the person speaking to him. Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in his gut. He grasped at it with both hands then brought one into his view. Warm blood trickled down his fingers and stained his orange sweater. He looked at the man who had stabbed him.
"Y-you're supposed to be dead." He stammered before collapsing to the cold snow covered ground.
"That's ironic, coming from you." Bowcott hissed. The sound of footsteps crunching the snow echoed down the alleyway near Cartman's club. Bowcott looked up then ran away from the scene of the crime.
Kyle walked slowly down the alley, his hands shoved deep in his pockets. He looked up and noticed Kenny's truck. His brows furrowed as he ran down the rest of the alley to the truck. He came to a stop when he noticed the blonde curled on his side, clutching his stomach. "Kenny!" The red head knelt down beside the injured man.
"K-Kyle?" He looked at the Jew through heavy lidded eyes.
"Oh my god, Ken what happened?" Kyle's voice grew frantic as he noticed the blood pooling around the blonde.
"Kyle, g-go inside-" a cough interrupted his sentence. "You'll be late for work." He managed a smile.
"Kenny, you're dying! I can't just leave you here!" Kyle's eyes began to tear up. In the distance, Kenny could hear the familiar scurry of rats making their way toward his dying body.
"Ky, trust me, it'll be okay." The blonde coughed again, pain shot up his spine as blood made its way up his throat. Kyle pulled out his cell phone and dialled 9-1-1.
"J-just hang in there Kenny." He sniffled before the operator answered. Trying his best to keep his calm, he explained to operator where he was and what was needed. Kenny's eyes fell shut as his breathing became laboured. "Ken, stay awake Ken, please." Kyle manoeuvred the blonde's head into his lap, stroking wet hair from his face. His eyes fluttered open and he smiled weakly again.
"I love you Ky, just remember that." He inhaled sharply as a pain increased in his torso. As his eyes fell shut one final time, he heard sirens in the distance and Kyle's gentle sobbing.
"Oh my god Kyle, what happened?" Eric exited his club to find the red head propped up against it, his eyes bloodshot from crying.
"Some bastard killed Kenny." He managed through sobs. Eric looked at the patches of blood in the snow then back at the red head and sighed.
"Okay Kyle, you can go home for today but I want you back here on Monday." Kyle looked at the brunette in shock.
"Seriously dude?"
"Yes seriously, now go home before I change my mind." Eric grimaced before returning to the interior of his club. Kyle wiped his eyes and headed towards Stan and Wendy's.
