Tweek walked across Cartman's frozen yard to the wooden bench that sat next to an empty flower bed. He blew warm air into his hands and took a drink of his almost empty thermos. He let out a sigh and his extra warm breath drifted into his face temporarily blocking his vision. He ripped the stubborn envelope open.
Dear Cartman,
Don't read other peoples things you fat piece of shit.
Go fuck yourself,
Craig
Now that that is taken care of, hey babe. Go ahead and go to track 3. (play song by Pegboard Nerds)
So you found the scene of our greatest falling out. The place where the Wonder Duo split and the Civil War was sealed. I never said it, but I am sorry. I should have walked out with you. If not for us then for Stripe 4. I know he thought it was all his fault. Maybe if he hasn't escaped that last time Daddy wouldn't have left other Daddy. Oh well, anyway.
That also means you you found the Stick of Truth. WHICH as everone knows makes you the master of the universe. What will you do with all of this power? Let me guess. Too much pressure? Well you have always been the master of my universe.
Clue 4: My only true rival for your heart.
Tweek stared at the paper and a flood of emotions washed over him. He was happy he finally apologized for breaking his heart, annoyed he called him out for caving under pressure, and embarrassed for such a blantent confession. Once he got his emotions is check he burst into laughter.
To Craig: Dude. Thank you. Fuck you. I love you.
From Craig: In that order specifically? Hmm... Usually the thank you is after the fucking.
To Craig: / Dude wtf.
From Craig: Ha. Im only kidding lol did you find the stick oh master of my universe?
To Craig: Yes. Oh and Cartman didn't read it. It was locked up tighter than Kyle's mom's check book.
From Craig: LFAO. Dude. What like 10 min with Cartman and your making Jew jokes. Run Tweek run! g2g.
Tweek laughter filled the empty air as he got up to head back towards the park. This clue was by far the easiest. Craig never let him forget that he was convinced that he came second to coffee in Tweek's heart. Craig was wrong of course, but it didn't hurt to let his sweat about it sometimes.
The walk to Tweak Bros. was quite. Tweek drained the last of his coffee and picked up the pace. He didn't like to be without coffee. Ever. A few block away a stray cat wandered out in front of him. Tweek stopped and dropped down onto his knees. "Hey Mr. Kitty," he cooed softly. "What are you doing all alone." There was no collar on the cat and its yellow and white fur was matted. The cat let out a loud meow and rubbed its head agains Tweek's hand. He dug into the pocket of his coat and pulled out a stick of beef jerky. The cat's blue eyes widened and the meowing intensified. "All right. All right." Tweek laughed. "Im getting it opened. Take it easy killer." He tore the jerky into bits and thew them on the ground. The cat devoured them almost instantly. Tweek sighed and pet the cats grease head and checked his phone. It was 11 am and he still had to go to the shop. "All right Mr. Kitty." he got to his feet and the cat weaved between them. "I have to go now. Take care." He gave the cat one last pet and continued onto his destination.
Tweek rounded the corner and saw the coffee shop come into view. He picked up the pace eager to get into the warm shop. He arrived at the door and dug out his keys when a loud sound came from behind him. He dropped his keys and turned around pressing his back agains the door. "Jesus." He panted and looked down at the culprit. "Mr. Kitty what the hell man. You scared me!" The cat meowed and put his heavy paws on the door next to tweek. "Oh no. You are way to dirty to be in there. Go on now." He shooed the cat along and picked up his keys. He turned to unlock the door and locked eyes with the saddest cat in the world. The cat had sat on its back legs and let out the mofst pitiful meow ever heard. Tweek's heart broke and he knew he was stuck with the pitiful thing. It is the season of giving after all.
Tweek picked up the cat and took it into the bathroom of the shop to begin cleaning it up. He plopped the cat o to the floor and hurried out the door. Moments later he returned with thick rubber dish gloves, towels, dish soap, and his refilled thermos. "Im sorry Mr. Kitty. But this is how it has to be." He sighed and filled the sink full of lukewarm water and placed the already hissing cat inside.
An hour and one pissed off cat later Mr. Kitty, who has now been renamed Killer, was contentedly munching on some thick sliced turkey and lapping at a dish of cream in the office. Tweek finished doctoring the few minor scratched on some skin that wasnt covered by the gloves and replaced the first aid kit. "You're a dick Killer."
Killer looked up with his big blue eyes and meowed a response. His orange and white fur seemed to double in size now that he was cleaned. Tweek sighed and walked out into the main lobby to make a pot of coffee. He opened is favorite Ethiopian blend and and began to pour the beans into a grinder when an envelope plopped into the machine with it. Tweek smiled and removed the paper. He switched on the grinder and opened the letter.
I am 110% convinced that you love this coffee more than me. Don't deny it. I can't take the lies anymore. You're breaking my heart. haha.
Oh. Play track 4. (Play song by Semisonic)
Do you remember our first kiss? Like REAL kiss? I do. It was right here. Behind this counter one night while we were closing the shop. We were 14 and stupid and it couldn't have been better. I knew then that what we had was special and we were going to be something.
I know its Thanksgiving (I mean probably unless you suck at this really fucking bad and you can't even get this far in one day.). I know you hate it. I know your family blows. I don't think you know how guilty I feel not being there for you. Forgive me? Yes? Good.
Now go home and eat. Try to get Hildy shit faced for me. This year was going to be the year!
Tweek clutched the paper to his palpitating heart and fought back tears. He wasn't sure if they were sad tears or tears of laughter. He touched his lips and thought of the night Craig was referencing. They were closing up the shop and Tweek was trying to get Craig to get off the counters so he could wipe them down. Craig, of course, refused to move. Tweek asked nicely, threatened, then tried to barter.
'I'll move' Craig smirked, 'for a price.'
'Fine.' Tweek huffed. 'What will it cost? You already got food for Stripe 5 out of me.'
'Nah.' Craig slid off the counter. 'I was thinking something more... personal.' He moved closer to Tweek until they were standing inches apart.
'W-W-What' Tweek let out a shaky breath. 'Do y-you want?'
'Hmmm.' Craig hovered his lips above Tweek's. 'How about a kiss? Just a simple little kiss?'
'Y-you have already had a kiss from me.'
'Not when there is no one here to see.' Craig smirked and lowered his mouth to meet Tweek's. The kiss was soft and sweet. It tasted like coffee and mint gum. This was before Craig tasted like an ashtray, not that Tweek cared one way or the other. Craig wrapped his arms around his boyfriend and pulled him closer. Tweek dropped his rag and returned his embrace. After a few moments the boys separated and Tweek laid his head against Craig's chest. 'There now.' Craig took a deep breath, 'Was that so expensive?'
Tweek smiled as he made his coffee and returned to the office. He laughed as he thought of Craig trying to convince his recovering alcoholic aunt to do shots with him by the smoker. She hated Craig. Not because he was gay or was a fucking smart ass, but because he made her precious little nephew a homosexual that will burn in hell. She and her 8 children were the bane of Tweek's existence during the holidays.
Killer was napping on the printer on the corner of the desk and didn't even budge when Tweek plopped into the desk chair. "Spoiled already." He rolled his eyes and picked up his phone.
"Hey babe." Craig answered around a mouth full of food. There was a loud rumble in the back ground. "I'll tell him!" He shouted and presumably moved to a quieter location.
"What was that?"
"Ruby and mom say hey." He laughed and closed a door.
"Did I interrupt your lunch? I can call later."
"Nah. Your good babe. So when does the spawn of Satan get there?"
Tweek laughed out loud and Killer startled awake. He, not so gracefully, jumped and plopped onto Tweek's lap. "Oof. Fat ass."
"What the hell? I have only had one plate!" Craig defended.
"No no. Its not you. Does Ruby still have that cat she got just to spite you?"
Craig lit a cigarette and took a draw. "Yeah. Why?"
"Well... We have a son."
"You got a fucking cat. Stripe is going to be pissed."
"He was homeless and starving!" Tweek defend as he pet Killer. "I gave him some jerky and he wouldn't leave me alone."
Craig laughed. "Thats why you don't fee things. Didn't you learn your lesson with me?"
"Very funny. This is your fault anyway. I was following your directions anyway!"
Craig scoffed. "Your not putting this on me Tweekers. Wait isn't Hildy allergic to cats?"
Tweek stopped petting Killer and a huge smile spread across his face. "Yes. Her and her hell spawn. Oh Killer I love you."
"You named him Killer? Jesus Tweek, you are asking to buy Stripe number 8 aren't you?" Craig stomped out his spent cigarette. "I gotta get back inside. Nana is making kissy faces at me through he window. They miss you."
"I wish I could have come with you. Ill talk to you later. Bye babe."
Tweek hung up the phone and picked up Killer. "Alright Killer. Lets go get you some food and litter from other Fathers house."
