Craig took his assigned seat at a back table. The seat next to him was assigned for Tweak. He looked around the room for Tweak he caught sight of him across the room with Kenny. Kenny was talking to Tweek. Craig watched as Tweak nodded his head and look away. Tweak seemed rather uncomfortable. Eventually Tweak came to his spot next to Craig. He was quiet and still but it didn't last long.
The beginning part of the reception included speeches and dinner. Craig watched Tweak the whole time. Tweak was shaking and he saw his eye twitch now and then. Eventually the DJ was busted out and dancing commenced. Craig and Tweak where still at the table. Craig couldn't stand to see Tweak twitching like he used to. Craig grabbed Tweak hand from under the table. The way he used too. It always seemed to calm the boy down before. Tweak stopped shaking. He slowly turned and looked at Craig. Craig looked at Tweak. Their eyes met. Craig squeezed Tweaks hand tighter. Craig instantly remembered a time in high school when he squeezed Tweak hand like this before.
"So Tweak…" Craig wasn't sure what he wanted to say. But he felt needed to say something.
Tweak eyes grew wide. He seemed to have been snapped back or out of where he was. They stared at each other for a bit before Tweak suddenly stood up.
"I need some air." Tweak squeaked out. Craig watched as Tweak trotted off towards the patio. Craig also saw Kenny look over. Before anymore could happen Craig hurriedly followed Tweak out on to the patio.
Tweak had a bottle of beer in his hand and was staring out into the darkness of the night leaning against the railing.
"Hey, you okay?" Craig asked as he joined him.
"Yeah just seeing everyone makes me remember… everything." Tweak picked his word carefully.
"Yeah we had some crazy time." Craig said trying not to stress Tweak out. Tweak though wasn't shaking anymore nor did he twitch. The air must be helping him.
"Do you remember homecoming?" Tweak asked.
"Uh, I don't really want to." Craig muttered.
Tweak chuckled. "You got caught putting alcohol in the punch."
"It wasn't that bad." Craig defended himself.
"You also took all the toilet paper from the bathroom and T.P. our homeroom class."
"Never could prove I did it though." Craig said a little bit proud of himself. He then thought about how Tweak waited for him every day to get out of detention for a month. Craig push that thought out and picked something else.
"Remember when we spent all of spring break locked in your room playing those video games." Craig reminisced.
"All though wasted hours." Tweak chuckled.
"Wasted? You mean well spent." Craig argued. "We beat every assassin creed that break."
Tweaked laughed while rubbing his eye, thinking about it.
Craig then thought about the memory he had when he held Tweak hand. Craig stuttered before bringing it up, not sure if he should. But ended up spilling out of him.
"Remembered when you were forced to do that play freshmen year?... and you had that panic attack?" Craig looked over at Tweak who didn't say anything. Tweak squeezed his beer bottled so hard the back of his hand turned white. Craig knew he remembered. Craig decided not to continue.
"You were… We were always together. We saw us at our worst." Tweak mumbled.
Craig nodded while looking out.
"Thank you for helping me that night… You really did save me."
"All I did was hold your hand." Craig said feeling embarrassed.
"You were there." Tweak finished. Silence hit them as they both stared out.
"Do you remember when we…" Tweak began.
"Hmmm?" Craig turned to look at Tweak.
Tweak smiled. "Uh nothing I was just thinking of all the crazy times." Tweak went on about memories and how nice it was.
Craig listened to him intently enjoying the night with Tweak. Craig turned around and leaned his back against the railing while he listened to Tweak. Craig looked towards the hotel and his eye caught sight of an annoying blond. Kenny. Kenny was watching Craig and Tweak from a distant door frame trying to stay out of sight. Too bad for him, his bright blond hair was poking out from the corner. Some "detective".
'Who the hell does he think he is?' Craig thought feeling more pissed off. Tweak was still going on a tangent about how everything changed. Craig looked over at Tweak. An idea slips into Craig mind on how to piss off Kenny. Before Craig really had a chance to think about it, Craig dove in and kissed Tweak.
Craig lips landed on Tweak soft lips. Tweak in shock open his mouth. Craig took it as an invitation and slid his tongue in Tweak mouth. Tweak mouth tasted of alcohol but there a subtle sweet and bitter taste of coffee. Craig heart pounded and he kissed Tweak deeper. Tweak hands wrap around Craig in a hug. Craig snapped himself out of his stooper and remembered he did it to bug Kenny. Craig opens one eye and glances over at Kenny direction to see if he left.
Craig was surprised to see Kenny hadn't left. Instead he was coming over to them. Craig eyes got wide. He pulled Tweak away as Kenny came near. Kenny face stoic and the fire deep in his eyes. Kenny lifted up his hand. Craig instantly knew that Kenny was going to strike him. Craig braced himself for the blow.
*Smack*
Craig opened his eyes. Kenny didn't smack Craig. No, he slapped Tweak across the face. Tweak wide eyed stood there shaking slightly.
Kenny turned to Craig. "Leave."
Craig became furious. "Wh-Wh- WHAT THE-!"
"Leave me and my BOYFRIEND need to talk." Kenny snarled he was livid.
Craig stunned by what was happening took a few steps back. His eyes darted down at Tweak who was looking down with a pain of guilt on his face. Craig began to turn on his heels to leave but couldn't. Instead his body acted on its own.
*Pow*
Craig suckered punch Kenny in the face. He then grabbed Tweak and pulled him quickly forward. Craig then turned and dragged Tweak as he rushed to get back to the hotel. Craig looked back and saw Tweak confused stunned face.
"Sorry Tweak, but I just hate police brutality."
