Breakfast was eaten with happy chatter. Cartman joined after a while, hi pouting done with for now. Kenny looked around with a sense of belonging. Would it be like this if they had never left? He didn't know. He grabbed Tweek's hand under the table and gave it a squeeze.
Karen left as Kyle and Stan showed up claiming she was already late for school. The morning passed in friendly chatter. " So what are you guys planning on doing while you're here?" questioned Stan as they made their way back to the living room. Ken just kind of shrugged, he was fine with staying in the house for three weeks.
" The only thing I really have planned is visiting my parents," said Tweek as he got comfortable against Kenny. Kenny offered up a smile to him. Tweek's parents had been super understanding when they left. They sent money every week until they turned eighteen. " I never told them I was coming for a visit. I want to surprise them."
" Well that sounds like a good start," Kyle smiled at Tweek. " How about seeing old friends?" Tweek gave him a quizzical look. He looked around at all the people in the room trying to figure out who could be missing. A knock on the door caught his attention.
Kyle got a huge grin on his face. He ran over to the door and threw it open with excitement. There in the doorway stood Clyde, Token, and Bebe. Token had grown into his looks even more since they left. Kenny took notice of him right away due to the large smile taking up his face. He was lean, yet muscular, and taller than ost everyone in the room.
Bebe stood in the middle, her blonde curls cascading down her back. She had a soft smile on her face that Kenny had missed. They had been good friends, even occasional lovers at one point.
Clyde stood slightly back with a scowl on his face. He was Craig's best friend; It was common knowledge. He looked like he had been dragged against his will to stand in that doorway. Probably by Bebe who always had a pull with Clyde.
" Token!" screeched Tweek with delight. He came running and jumped into the larger boy's arms. He caught him with ease but was quite taken aback by the gesture. " I didn't think you would still be in South Park. You're to good for this place," Tweek continued after he had been put down. Token beamed at him and ruffled his blonde hair.
" Well I don't live here anymore. I live out in California with Clyde and Bebe. We heard from a reliable red head that a certain twitchy blonde would be in town. So we decided to make a vacation out of it as well," Token responded with a laugh.
" It's good to see you guys," Bebe said sweetly as she gave Tweek and then Kenny hugs. She lingered longer with Kenny her hands ghosting over his back. Tweek took notice of this but decided not to acknowledge it. Those two had always been close.
Clyde, however, chose to acknowledge it. He stomped in and ripped Bebe from Kenny's grasp. Bebe gave him a glare and an elbow to the ribs. " Keep your hands of my woman, McCormick," he growled.
Kenny held his hands up in a sign of surrender. He had no desire to get in anymore altercations the next three weeks. Clyde continued to glare with an intensity that threw the whole atmosphere of the room off.
" You will have to excuse, Clyde. We went to see Craig first and well his nose to pretty bad. Black and blue all around his eyes," Bebe said matter of factly. She gave Kenny a sly smile and a thumb up behind Clyde's back.
" Yes, well, shit happens when you're an asshole," Tweek replied nonchalantly. Everyone in the room, except Clyde, burst out in laughter. Tweek gave him a sideways glance. " If you don't want to be here, Clyde, then don't. I know you never really liked me, even before I left."
Kenny eyed Tweek with concern. This seemed to be more than his straightforward honesty. There seemed to be pure animosity on his part. It was something he had never seen from Tweek.
" You have no idea how hard he tried to find you, do you?"' Clyde questioned with silent fury. Tweek looked at him with apparent apathy. The kind of apathetic look that would make Craig Tucker proud. Kenny could see the slight tremble in his hand, however. It was something only he would know to look for.
" So he said. I'm sure it really helped him save face in front of you guys," he said nastily. Even Token frowned at the tone finding it almost hateful. " Though I doubt he had to try hard with you since you're so far up his ass. Or is he up yours I could never quite figure it out."
Clyde was lunging at Tweek before he even finished his sentence. Token and Stan held him back while Tweek smirked in his face. " He cried for weeks when you left. You cheated on him! You broke him!" He spat in Tweek's face.
" I'm sure you made him feel all better, Clyde. He used to tell me how good you were with your mouth. Did you know he took a video the first time? He used to show it to me when he wanted to see me cry. You can't say anything to me about breaking Craig because he was broken way before I left." Tweek turned slowly and headed up the stairs leaving a tense silence in the living room behind him.
Butters and Kenny followed quickly behind him. Butters was a little faster than Kenny though and he found him with his arms already wrapped around the sobbing boy. Kenny guided them all to the bed and wrapped himself around the two boys. He whispered loving words into Tweek's ear until they all fell asleep in a tangled heap on the bed.
