"So, how long have you known you liked me?" Craig asked, walking back to class with Tweek. He had his arm draped over Tweek's bony shoulder. Tweek blushed.

"I-I just found out...last week." He said, biting his lip. This surprised Craig. He had liked Tweek for years. He wondered how someone could just find out that they loved someone in so little time. But on the other hand, he didn't care. He was happy just knowing that Tweek loved him back. He didn't need to know the details.

All his worries seemed to disappear once his lips met Tweeks.

Now his only problem was getting Pip off his back. He couldn't let him tell Bebe that he was in love with Tweek. And he couldn't let Tweek know about all this either. It was for his own good. Craig knew that if Tweek knew Craig was just trying to protect him, he would probably confront Bebe or Pip. He just couldn't let that happen. It was to risky. He was just going to have to find another way to end this.

For now, he wanted to enjoy Tweek's company as long as he can. They would have to keep their new relationship a secret. Everyone will think their still just friends and no one will know that they love each other. Craig would be endangering Tweek if he told anyone. Or if Tweek told anyone.

"Tweek," Craig stopped walking and held Tweek by his shoulders, making him look at him. He sighed and said " We have to keep our relationship a secret."

Tweek's jaw dropped. "W-what?" His green eyes were wide with disbelief and horror. Craig frowned sadly at Tweek. "I'm sorry Tweek, but it's for your own good." He said truthfully. It really was for his own good, Craig knew. But now it was time for Craig to lie."You have know idea how hard it is being gay in this school." That was the first lie. Not that many people really cared that Craig was gay, they only cared that he dumped Bebe for a guy.

Craig had to look away from Tweek. If he had to lie, then he didn't want to lie right to his face."...The rumors, the talking behind your back, the feeling of being hated all the time. It hurts. " Craig tried his best to sound sincerer and emotional. He just prayed to god that Tweek would by his little act."I don't want you to go through all that just for me."

Tweek's expression softened to a unhappy frown. His eyes looked so hurt and full of disappointment. "...okay." He said dejectedly. It pained Craig to hear Tweek talk with such a sad tone, but he reminded himself that it was all for the best. All for the best.

"Just one thing, Craig. I-I need to know." Tweek said anxiously, as if he dreaded the answer. Craig perked up, wondering what he needed to know. Swallowing hard, Tweek hesitantly asked his question. "D-did...did you really have sex with Pip at the mall?" The question took Craig aback. He almost stumbled backwards from the shock.

"W-what? At the mall, with Pip? Who told you that?" Craig demanded. Tweek cringed at the harsh way Craig talked to him, but he replied anyway. "Bebe has been telling everyone that." He said, twitching slightly. "I'm sorry Craig, I just had to know."

This was the first time Craig had heard of this vicious rumor. He furrowed his brow at Tweek, shocked that he would believe such a thing. The blond was staring up at him expectantly, his watery eyes focused hard on Craig's."No." Craig said, shaking his head. "It's not true, I never slept with Pip."

Tweek breathed a sigh of relief. Craig smiled, knowing that Tweek believed him.

Then Tweek asked another question. "If you love me, then why are you dating him?"

Craig's smile fell and his face paled. Quickly, the thought up another lie. "Uh,...because I-I feel bad for him." He stammered nervously."You know, since he really isn't that popular and...stuff." He trailed off. Tweek stared at him blankly, making Craig even more nervous.

"...T-that's wrong, Craig." He said, his face twitching."To lead someone on like t-that."

Smiling awkwardly, Craig nodded. "Yeah, I know, but he came up to me one day and was just begging me to go out with him, saying that he loves me." He was lying through his teeth."And I'm afraid he might do something crazy if I just dumped him. He's really desperate. You understand, right?"

Tweek eyed Craig skeptically for a long while. But then Craig leaned forward and kissed him reassuringly. When he pulled away, Tweek was standing there with a dreamy, dazed look in his eyes and a pink blush on his cheeks. Still smiling awkwardly, Craig said "You see Tweek, I could never love Pip more then I love you! Just trust me, alright?"

For a while, Tweek was silently thinking, then he smiled and wrapped his arms around Craig's neck. "Okay, I trust you!" He kissed Craig hard on the lips, completey unaware of the knots tying in Craig's stomach.
