This was a request by cster. Cster asked for Creek so here ya go. I think this is my new favorite one that I've written so far. It's so cute.
Told in Tweek's POV
Lyrics in flashback are typed like this.
Pairing: Creek
Song: Kari Kimmel- Where you belong
He promised he would never leave me. Promised he would never hurt me. Promised he would never use me. I didn't think I could believe him at first. I've always had a problem with trust. But ever since that fight in the fourth grade, I felt like I could trust him with anything.
His name is Craig Tucker.
Fourth Grade
Craig and I sat on a cot in the nurses' office, both of us were exhausted and badly bruised. I had gotten the worst though. Craig gave me a bloody nose and it really hurt.
"Hey Tweek?" Craig spoke to me for the first time after the fight.
He kind of startled me because I freaked like I usually do before responding.
"GAH! Yeah Craig?"
Craig winced slightly because I had just yelled in my ear, and then said, "Sorry for breaking your nose and making you bleed."
"No problem- ack!- Craig." I assured him.
"I don't even know why I agreed to do this stupid ass fight in the first place."
"Because your crazy?" I teased him.
Craig snickered and flipped me off. "Not any crazier than you."
That was the day Craig Tucker became my best friend.
If you're feeling down or weak
You can always count on me
I will always pick you up
Fifth Grade
I sat in my bed, cowering under the sheets at 2 am, waiting for the gnomes to go on their routine habit of stealing my underwear. Yes the gnomes scare me. I'm scared they;re gonna eat me. But I want to stop them. But what if they eat me alive?! Too much pressure!
I grabbed my cell phone that was currently sitting on the nightstand, and dialed my new favorite number. The phone rang seven times, then the person picked up.
"Hello?"
"CRAIG!" I screamed into the phone. "Help me! I think the-ngh- gnomes are gonna show up and steal all my- ack!- underpants again!"
"Okay, okay, calm your tits, Tweek, I'll be there in a second."
"AUGH!"
A few minutes later, I heard a tapping noise at my bedroom window. I jumped, and yanked apart the curtains to reveal Craig with his signature blue chullo and bored expression.
I opened the window, and Craig crawled into my room.
"Okay crazy ass." Craig said to me. "Superman is here to protect you so go to bed now."
"But Craig," I protested. "I can't! I'm too- arg!- scared!"
"What do you want me to do? Tuck you in and kiss you good night?"
I looked at him hopefully.
Craig sighed. "Fine. Get in the bed."
I obeyed, crawling into the bed. Craig pulled up the covers to my neck.
"Close your eyes."
I did, and felt Craig's lips gently press to my forehead.
"Good night Tweekers." He whispered.
That was the first time I got any real sleep at night.
Nothing's ever gonna change
Nothing's gettin' in my way
I will always hold you up
Sixth Grade
This is terrible! GAH! What am I gonna do?! I wanna go to the movies with Craig, but Dad won't let me go until I'm done cleaning up the storage room, but it's not any cleaner than when I started! Craig will be here any minute!
The door opened, startling me, and Craig walked in. "Hey Tweek." He greeted me. "Ready to go?"
"GAH! I can't! I need to clean this place otherwise- ngh- Dad won't let me! But it's a mess!" I grabbed my hair in frustration.
Craig let out a puff of hair, and removed my hands from my wild hair. "I'll help you Tweek." He told me.
"Really?"
"Yeah whatever lets us leave faster."
Anything
Come what may
Don't look back forget yesterday
Forget yesterday
Craig and I got done in no time. I broke maybe two or three things, but that's it I swear!
We managed to make it to the movie on time too. I even made a bad pun about it, which Craig flipped me off for.
"Now that's what I call time management."
It's not where you come from
It's where you belong
Nothin' I would trade
I wouldn't have it any other way
Seventh Grade
"Craig help me!"
Craig sighed and said, "Tweek stop spazzing and just talk normally, I'm sitting right next to you so you don't need to scream."
"Ack! Sorry." I apologized.
We were partners in a history project, and we were assigned the topic of the Black Plague. It was a scary topic to me.
"I don't wanna get the plague Craig!" I yelled. "I don't wanna die a slow and painful death!"
"Tweek, no one gets the bubonic plague anymore." Craig informed me. I didn't believe it. What if I was the first person in this time to catch it? Oh Jesus!
"AUGH!" I threw my arms up. "I could still get it!"
Craig moved closer, and gently hugged me. I buried my head into his should and screamed.
"There, there Tweekers." He comforted me. "Now don't be so paranoid." I lifted my head up and looked at his bored yet slightly amused face.
"T-Thanks Craig." I said.
That's when it realized something I should have known before.
I... like Craig Tucker.
You're surrounded
By love and you're wanted
So never feel alone
You are home with me
Right where you belong
Eighth Grade
"Tweek can I ask you a question?"
I looked up from my science homework to see Craig standing in a chair across from me on the other side of the desk.
"Arg! What is it?" I asked him.
"How do you feel about dating?"
My right eye twitched in response. That was really not was I expecting. Did he like someone and was trying to talk to me about it? I couldn't be able to discuss him on the topic of him dating dating someone other than me. It would destroy me. Plus datingt is a lot of pressure and takes up a lot of time. I could never do it!
"Dating?" I echoed. "Like as in buying someone gifts, and showing up on time for dates, that's too much pressure! AUGH!" I grabbed my hair, and yanked on it forcefully.
"Tweek." Craig grabbed my wrists, and pulled my hand down. I cast the gaze from my dark blue eyes towards him, and met with his hazel ones. "Calm down."
"But I-" I was cut off when Craig leaned forward, pressing his lips against mine.
I froze. I've been wanting this for a year now. Come on Tweek, react!
I closed my eyes, and returned the kiss. My arms went around his neck, and his hands went around my waist.
That was the start of our relationship.
I know sometimes you're feeling lost
It's hard to find your place in it all
But you don't have to fear
Even when you mess up
You always got my love
I'm always right here
Ninth Grade
"Where are we going- ack!- Craig?" I asked my boyfriend who currently had his hands over my eyes, leading me to who know where.
"You'll see." Craig told me.
It was almost five am, and Craig asked me to meet him on the corner of our block a few minutes ago. I don't know what he called me for.
Suddenly we stopped. Craig removed his hands from my eyes, and I saw that we were asked Stark's Pond.
"What are we doing here?" I asked him.
"You'll see." Craig took my hand and led me to a log. He sat down on it, and gestured for me to do the same.
I plopped down next to him. Craig reached into his large jacket pocket, and pulled out a thermos. "Here." He handed it to me. "Drink up."
I accepted the drink and raised it to my lips, taking a long sip. Coffee! Craig brought me coffee.
"Thanks- ngh- Craig." I thanked him.
"Your welcome." Craig planted a kiss on my cheek, and pointed to the horizon. "Look."
I saw it. The sun rising over the mountains, lighting up the sky in a beautiful shae of bright orange. It was beautiful.
Craig put and arm around my waist, and pulled me closer. I put my head on his shoulder.
Oh, cause
Anything
Come what may
Don't look back forget yesterday
Forget yesterday
Craig kissed the tip of my nose and said, "I love you Tweek."
A blush crept onto my cheeks. "I love you- arg!- too Craig."
It's not where you come from
It's where you belong
Nothin' I would trade
I wouldn't have it any other way
Tenth Grade
Being sick sucks. I can tell you that firsthand. Especially when you have the flu. I can't drink any coffee, and I'm afraid I may actually have the black plaque. And worst of all, I couldn't spend time with Craig.
So he came to me.
He showed up in my room after school had ended with a pile of work, and a thermos in his hand.
"Hey Tweekers." He greeted me. "I brought you all the shit you missed." He dropped the stack on my desk. "And soup." He handed the thermos and a spoon he had in his other hand to me.
I opened the thermos, and as expected, it was filled to the brim with chicken noodle soup. I took a spoonful into my mouth. It was warm and soothing.
"Thank y-you, Craig." I smiled up at him.
Craig leaned down and kissed me. "No problem."
You're surrounded
By love and you're wanted
So never feel alone
You are home with me
Right where you belong
Eleventh Grade
Ding dong!
"Tweek can you answer the door?" Mom called.
"Ack! Sure mom!" I called back.
I opened the front door, and saw Craig standing on the porch flanked by two suitcases and Stripe's cage. He looked pissed.
"Craig? What's wrong? And- ngh- what's with all the suitcases?" I questioned him.
"I got kicked out." He answered me.
"W-what?"
"My parents kicked me out because I'm gay."
"GAH! I'm sorry Craig!" I went onto the porch, and threw my arms around him.
Craig returned the hug. "Don't be sorry. It isn't your fault."
"You can stay here. My parents wouldn't mind. They- ack!- treat you like their own son."
"Really?"
"YES!"
Craig chuckled. "Okay I will." Craig kissed me full on the lips, and my face heated up. "Thanks."
"Your w-welcome Craig."
Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo
Don't matter where you've been
Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo
You're here for a reason
Twelfth Grade
The sun was beginning to set. It lit up the sky in a gorgeous pink glow that made the view from the park bench we were sitting on all the more pleasant.
"I can't believe we just graduated." Craig said.
"Augh! Neither can I." I agreed. "So what are we gonna do now?"
"Well..." Craig stood up from the bench. "Tweek, I have to ask you something."
"Yes Craig?"
Craig got down onto one of his knees, and pulled a little black box out of his pocket.
"Craig?!" My voice was high and squeaky. "AUGH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
Craig pulled up the lid of the box up to reveal a golden ring laced with small diamonds, with a big sparkling one on top.
"Tweek, ever since we became friends in the third grade, I felt a connection to you. As we got closer, I felt more and more attached to you. And in fifth grade, when I tucked you into bed and kissed you good night because you got scared, I knew immediately that I was in love with you Tweek. And finding out you felt the same way made me the happiest guy in the world. I could tell that it made you happy too. So I want us to make each other happy today, tomorrow, and forever. Tweek, will you marry me?"
Tears spilled out of my eyes, as I flung myself down at him, and peppered his face with kisses saying, "Yes! Yes! GAH! Yes!"
Craig slipped the ring on my finger and took my hands in his and proceeded to kiss me which I happily returned.
Oooo Oooo Oooo Oooo
Your here for a reason
Present Day
"Daddy! Papa! Get up! Get up!"
I opened my eyes to see my son and daughter jumping on the bed.
"Daddy, Papa, it's our first day of kindergarten!" My daughter Hazel squealed.
"Come on! We don't wanna be late!" My son Eli yelled. They jumped off the bed, and dashed out of the room.
I sat up in the bed and stretched. I glanced to my right, looking at my husband.
Craig put his hand under my chin, and kissed my forehead. "Good morning sweetheart."
"GAH! Good morning!"
We quickly got dressed, and went downstairs and saw Hazel and Eli attempting to pour themselves bowls of Fruity Pebbles, but only managing to get it everywhere. I cleaned up the mess, and Craig poured them bowls of cereal properly.
After breakfast, I helped Hazel and Eli get ready while Craig started the car and loaded up their backpacks with all their stuff.
It's funny how much they look like us when we're not even biologically related. We adopted Hazel and Eli from an orphanage in Arizona three years ago. They were rescued from an abusive family with no other relatives and taken there four months prior to our visit. We chose them because we really liked them and wanted to give them a better home. They were two when we adopted them. Hazel had Craig's ebony hair and my blue eyes, and Eli had my blonde hair and Craig's hazel eyes.
Did I mentioned they're twins? And seriously the best thing that's ever happened to me?
Aside from Craig of course.
I brought Hazel and Eli to the car, where Craig and I strapped them into their car seats. Then I sat in the passenger seat, snd Craig sat in the the driver's seat, and we drove off.
We arrived at the school in a matter of minutes. We helped the twins out of the car, and walked them to the front steps. We gave them each a hug.
"Bye Daddy! Bye Papa!" They called to us before going inside.
Craig cupped both my cheeks in his hands and kissed me.
"I love you Tweek." He told me.
"I love you- arg!- too Craig." I told him.
I'm so glad I trusted him.
It's not where you come from
It's where you belong
Nothin' I would trade
I wouldn't have it any other way
You're surrounded
By love and you're wanted
So never feel alone
You are home with me
Right where you belong
