Craig arrived at Pip's house at seven sharp. He honked his horn and waited a few minutes before Pip came out. He looked casual enough. He wore a plain white t-shirt and jeans, perfect for a simple first date. Craig wondered what Pip had in mind for tonight since he didn't give him any details. All he said was to pick him up at seven. He got into Craig's car. Craig tried his best not to sneer at the blond for blackmailing him. He knew he had to keep this guy happy or else he'll rat on him to Bebe. Craig couldn't let that happen, so he decided to play along with Pip until he let him off the hook.
He kept a stone cold face when Pip smiled sweetly at him.
Pip frowned. "You better not keep up this attitude all night, Craig." He said, folding his arms over his chest and crossing his legs. Craig's icy blue eyes narrowed at Pip. He was trying desperately hard not to do anything to upset Pip, but it was getting hard to control his temper. Pip lifted his chin up and said "You will act pleasantly towards me, like you would with Tweek, and you will act like a true lover. Do I make myself clear?" He asked.
Craig's hands griped the steering wheel so tight that his knuckles where turning white. If anyone else talk to him like that, he would give them the finger and push them out of his car. But since Pip has him by the short hairs, their was nothing he could do but bite back his anger and try to make it through the night. Slowly, he nodded.
"Good." Pip smirked. "Now how about a smile."
The muscles in Craig's face twitched. He forced his lips to curve up into a tiny smile. Other then that, his face was completely emotionless. He looked so calm on the outside, but on the inside he was screaming with rage.
Without another word, they drove off. Pip told Craig where to go and in a matter of minutes, they pulled into the parking lot of the South Park mall. The South Park mall was packed with high schoolers and tweens. Being to young to go to bars and the lack of clubs in this boring little town, the teens of South Park were forced to settle for the mall.
The most popular place for young couples to hang out was the food court. They used the food court a dating spot, all the couples in South Park high went there. And unfortunately for Craig, it was the perfect place to show off your new boyfriend.
They sat down at a table, both had a trey of food in front of them. Glancing around him, Craig saw that some people where staring at them. He even heard some whispers about him and Pip. Most of them where about him leaving Bebe for a boy. When Craig looked back at Pip, he saw that he was frowning at him."What?" Craig asked.
Pip sighed."You not acting like a good boyfriend. Your not even talking to me. This barely feels like a date." He whispered in a hushed tone. Anger flashed over Craig's face. He tried his best to keep his voice down."This doesn't feel like a date because it's not one!" He was leaning over the table now. Pip corked an eyebrow at him and smirked.
"They don't know that." He flicked his eyes towards the people staring at them, then looked back at Craig. He was still leaning over the table. Pip took advantage of that and leaned over to kiss him. Craig pulled back in surprise. His face turned a shade of pink when he heard a few hoots and sinkers coming from around them. He grimaced mentally when Pip tapped his lips with his pointer finger, telling Craig he wanted him to kiss him back.
He closed his eyes tightly, trying to picture Tweek and leaned forward, pressing his lips to Pip's. He pulled away and sat back in his chair. Pip smiled at him, his cheeks blazing in a full blush. They ate their food in silence. Once they were done, they walked arm and arm out of the food court. Craig kept his eyes on the ground in front of him as he walked. When ever Pip tried to talk to him he would reply in short answers. He may not have looked it but he was miserable right now. He just wanted this horrible day be over and to go home and lay in bed until Monday morning came.
But it looked like god was not on his side tonight, because three familiar faces just approached them.
"Hey Craig!" Token waved to Craig, walking up to them. Clyde and Tweek followed. Clyde and Token were smiling at the two but Tweek stayed a few feet back, his mouth formed a straight line and his eyes were blankly staring at Craig and Pip. Pip smiled sweetly at Clyde and Token while he completely ignored Tweek. Craig on the other hand, couldn't take his eyes off the towheaded blond.
He seems so sad. Craig thought. I wonder whats wrong with him. While he was talking with Token and Clyde, Pip noticed Craig staring at Tweek. He frowned and stared at Tweek with narrowed eyes.
"What's wrong, Pip?" Asked Clyde. Pip blinked in surprise, as if he had just been awaken from a daze. He looked at Clyde for a second then to Craig. He smiled awkwardly and said "Oh dear, Craig. We're going to miss the movie! We must go." He took Craig's hand and started leading him away. He looked over his shoulder and called "It was nice talking with you gents, goodbye!"
While he was being dragged away by Pip, Craig kept glancing back to look at Tweeks sad face as it got further and futher away.
