Kenny shot awake when he felt the car jerk to a stop. He opened his eyes saw a house he could never forget. He had spent so much time playing here as a child. " You still live with your mom, Cartman?" he said in a joking manner.
Cartman grunted and ripped himself out of the car in response. Butters turned in his seat with sad eyes. " His mom died a little over a year ago," he whispered. Kenny felt instant regret even though the question hadn't been asked viciously.
Tweek sat up with a stretch and sent him a dazzling smile. " Way to stick your foot in your mouth," he picked at him. Kenny stuck his tongue out in his own defense. They got out of the car to follow the two friends inside.
The home inside felt the same but also different. The furniture still sat in the same place it had when they were children, but the furniture looked new. There was still a feminine touch around the house but it was a different feel than Leane had kept.
" You got a girlfriend, fatass?" Kenny questioned a he followed him into the kitchen. Cartman looked up at him in confusion and looked around.
" You can tell that by walking in my house?" Cartman asked quizzically. Kenny nodded with a shrug. He thought it was pretty obvious if you had spent half your childhood in the house.
" Wow you're more gay than i thought, poor boy."
Kenny let out a boisterous laugh at his old nickname. As a child it had stung even if he didn't show it. Now, though, the sting didn't exist. Tweek and him aren't rich but they definitely weren't struggling either.
" We bought pizza!" Stan hollered from the front door. He saw Tweek perk up at the mention of food. His medicine always made him hungry when he came down. " I also brought coffee from Tweaks," said as he handed one to Tweek.
" I hope you bought extra pizza because Tweek will probably eat a whole one by himself," Kenny said with a smile. His smile fell quickly when he saw Craig with his hands in his pockets and a rare smirk on his face.
All it took to forget his presence, however, was Tweeks's face stuffed full of food while he tried to answer a question Butters haad asked could still tell he was actively ignoring the dark boys attendance. He was Tweek's hand fall on Butters' thigh as he fell over laughing.
Kenny watched with curiosity as Butters seemed t recognize the other boy flirting with him. Butters threw a worried glance in Kenny's direction. Kenny simply sent him a kind smile and a blase wave of his hand. Tweek would never cheat, and watching him flirt with Butters was interesting to say the least.
" I always thought he would leave me for Butters if he ever left," came Craig's voice from beside him. Kenny glanced at him with disinterest. He was purposefully trying to discomfor him. " You I definitely wasn't expecting though. You had a lot of nerve sleeping with him behind my back," he continued. Kenny was furious, his hands pulled into fists. " Tell me, Kenny, does he know what we did together? Did you ever tell him?"
Kenny felt his self-control snap. If he didn't know any better he could swear it was an audible sound throughout the room. His fist flew and connected with Craig's nose. He heard the crack of breaking bones. The sound filled him with satisfaction that tingle down to his bones.
" Tweek never cheated unlike you, asshole. Tweek and I didn't actually get together until two years ago! I took him on a drive the day he left you to calm him down, and we just never stopped driving. That's it! The end! Stop spreading your goddamn lies!" Ken screamed in anger. He felt a familiar hand wrap around his wrist. He looked down to find wide emerald eyes on is. His anger dissipated almost as quickly as it had begun.
" You broke my fucking nose!" Craig growled. Kenny shrugged his shoulders and grabbed a piece of pizza. Butters ushered Craig into the kitchen to help clean him up.
Cartman sputtered angrily as Kenny took a seat.
" There is blood on my carpet, poor boy!"
Kenny sighed and rolled his eyes. " I'll obviously pay for it to get professionally cleaned." This seemed to ease Cartman's frustration slightly. It fell silent as Craig stormed towards the front door, slamming it behind him.
" Hm, maybe we shouldn't invited him after all," came Kyle's voice in the silence. Twee gave a snort as acknowledgement, grabbed another piece of pizza and sat on Kenny's lap.
" So there is obviously a side to the story we don't know," offered Butters, trying to get the conversation started. Tweek nodded and continued eating his pizza. Everyone stared at him waiting for him to speak up.
" I broke up with Craig because he cheated. A lot. He ever tried to hide if from me, either. I went to Kenny's to cry. I knew he wouldn't look for me there," Tweek started. Butters leaned forward with interest giving Kenny a quick glance. " We started driving so I could calm down. I fell asleep. When I woke up we were going into Nebraska.: Tweek was interrupted by Cartman's sardonic snort.
" So, basically, by law, Kenny kidnapped you," he drawled at them. Tweek opened his mouth to argue, but was interrupted by Kenny's loud laugh.
" I Guess, technically, I totally did," Kenny answered with a smile. He sent a wink Tweek's way along with a goofy grin. He sent back a shy smile and looked down at his fingers. He Never thought of it like that.
" We debated turning around and going home. But neither of us could face Craig again. I have a cousin in Pennsylvania. So we mad a road trip out of it. She let us live wi her until we moved out on our own a year ago."
Butters eyebrows were crinkled together as Tweek spoke. " I understand why you couldn't face Craig, Tweek. But Ken why couldn't you?" Butters asked with curiosity.
Kenny's face turned a shade of scarlett. Eh didn't want the others to know. It was the most shameful thing he had ever done. H hung his head in same and shook his head. " Craig tricked him into sleeping with him," Tweek stated matter of factly. He ran fingers through his lover's hair. He lifted Kenny's face by the chin and looked him in the eye. " I forgave him the moment it happened," he said with a smile.
The atmosphere in the room was awkward for a few minutes as everyone tried to find their way around the subject. Finally Stan found something on Netflix that took their attention away. It felt to Tweek and Kenny like they had never left.
