It was third period open for Bebe and Wendy, which they normally sat in the library near the window. Today Bebe started the conversation. "You'll never believe what I saw the other day! I totally forgot to tell you. I got a picture of it too, it's kinda burly but whatever," Bebe told her friend as she took out her phone.
"If it's another picture of that guy you've been stalking I don't want to see it," Wendy rolled her eyes.
"No, no it's even better. It's of Stan and Kyle," Bebe said back slyly, and now she had Wendy's full attention. Bebe opened the picture up on her phone and showed Wendy it. "See if you zoom in a little, it looks like they are holding hands or something at the lunch table. I've been trying to tell you they're gay."
"When did you take this?" Wendy asked examining the photo.
"A few days ago at lunch, I saw it briefly towards the end. I took a quick picture of it that's why it's so blurry." Wendy just nodded her head in acknowledgement. It did look like they were holding hands in the picture.
"Maybe they were doing something else?" Wendy proposed. "I'm pretty sure Stan isn't gay. Kyle, who knows. They might be doing something else." Wendy didn't want to think they were really together.
"I'm pretty sure they are holding hands, unless Stan was giving him a hand job. They are always side by side. It wouldn't surprise me if they were." Bebe laughed, "Maybe that's why Stan hasn't been texting you, he's all caught up with his gay lover."
"Bullshit," Wendy started but stopped to think. This could be her chance to get back from him saying 'Fuck off' and not talking to her. She's done nothing wrong to piss him off. It could be some joke they are trying to play to make her jealous, but Wendy wasn't going to let that happen. "We should follow them after school or something, maybe get some dirt on them."
"That's what I like to hear," Bebe said back smirking. "After school we should follow them. They will probably be hanging out if they are truly boyfriend and boyfriend."
"I'm pretty sure they aren't, but it wouldn't hurt to check. We have to take as many pictures as we can. If they are the whole fucking school needs to know by tomorrow morning" Wendy grinned, this is exactly the kind of payback she wanted. If Stan was going to ignore her for some guy, then everyone else had to know about it too, even if he was faking it to make her jealous. The two girls talked about their plan on how after school they would follow the boy's to wherever need be. Hopefully they will be hanging out with each tonight. Also Wendy told Bebe that she needed to get a better picture of Kyle and Stan at lunch, which was of better quality. At lunch Bebe got her food and sat at her normal spot, which were two rows behind her targets. She kept phone out and eyes ready at all times waiting to see them do something.
"That's so fucking lame Butters, it doesn't surprise me that you did that," Cartman said to his friend at the lunch table.
"You're just mad, because you can't get passed level 28 on that game while I'm on level 64," Butters boasted back trying to defend himself.
"No, it's stupid that you've played it that much to get to that level," Cartman replied back.
"Yeah, I have to agree with Cartman on this Butters, that's pretty fucking lame dude," Kyle agreed. Butter's sighed quietly to himself. Stan just sat there listening to the bantering, though he didn't really care what they were talking about. His mind was fixated on his boyfriend sitting next to him. Stan was so glad he had Kyle, he'd been in other relationships before of course, but this one felt so much better than the rest. He reached down and grabbed Kyle's hand who willing accepted it. Kyle didn't look down or at Stan, since they didn't want people at their table to notice. They had held hands a few times at lunch now so he just figured it was routine.
"Wow," Bebe whispered to herself, she wasn't really expecting them to hold hands again today. She steadily took a picture of the two boys and quickly sent it to Wendy who was in class. Bebe felt pretty good that she got a shot like that. She knew though, Wendy would not be fully satisfied until they got some real stuff. Bebe was trying to hear what they were talking about, but they were too far understand. Seeing it longer this time really surprised her, when did this all happen? She was pretty sure Stan or Kyle were not in to guys last time she checked. Seeing how they were sitting there was no doubt in it. Bebe looked at her phone and texted Wendy.
we should ask 1 of their friends if they r rlly dating
Wendy texted back right away.
good idea but u have 2 do it
Bebe sighed not wanting to do it. She looked up and examined her choices. Eric, Butters, Craig, and Token were out since she for sure didn't want to talk to them. Kenny was a good choice, but he wouldn't tell if he knew anything. They probably wouldn't have told Tweek either, but maybe Clyde. Bebe nodded her head. Clyde would be fine to ask, he was on the basketball team with Stan and Kyle, he might know. The bell had rung for lunch to be over and Bebe ran up to Clyde.
"Hey there Clyde," Bebe said in the happiest tone she could.
"Uh, hey there Bebe, what's up?" he asked her back.
"Could I ask you something about Stan and Kyle? Like, have you noticed them being a bit closer than normal, or have they talked to you about anything?" Bebe questioned him, cutting right to the chase.
"Well, I mean, they are pretty close, but I'm pretty sure they are just friends. Why are you asking?" Clyde said giving her a look.
"No reason, I was just wondering. Are you sure they aren't acting different?" Bebe pressed on hoping he'd give her the answers she wanted. If she noticed them holding hands, he must have seen them do more.
"No, they seem to be acting the same. A few weeks ago they weren't talking as much as they normally do, but I think they've gotten over it now."
"Huh," Bebe said, this didn't help her in her quest about Stan and Kyle. "Thanks anyways Clyde," Bebe finished, gave him a small wink and walked off to her next class. She took out her phone and sent another text to Wendy telling her what Clyde said. Maybe he wasn't the best person to ask, but anyone else would have told Stan and Kyle that she talked to him. Also she's been trying to get Clyde to ask her out to prom all year. During 6th period history, Bebe and Wendy talked about their plans.
"Okay, so after school I'll follow Stan and you follow Kyle," Wendy said quietly so no one overheard them. "If we are lucky, they will hang out tonight and we must follow them all day. If they are, you know, whatever, then we must have proof." Bebe nodded understanding the plan, following Kyle wasn't something she'd complain about. "Remember make sure they don't notice you!" Wendy told Bebe whole just rolled her eyes.
After school both girls waited by the school doors pretending to talk to each other, so they didn't look suspicious. Wendy took out her phone which signaled that the boys were approaching. "Let's see where they are going before we follow," Wendy whispered. Bebe was facing the doors and watched them get into a car.
"I think they got in to Stan's car, at least he got in to the driver side, so I'm assuming it's his," Bebe said to Wendy.
"Okay, we need to know where they are going. I bet they are going to Stan's if they got in his car."
"Probably, okay they are driving off? What's our next move?"
"Let's go wait out at Stan's. Kyle and him will have to come out at some point," Wendy said and walked in the same direction as the car. They took some side paths that, if they go the right way, they can get through really quickly. Wendy looked and Stan's car was parked in front of the house. The two girls must have arrived a little after the boys did. Wendy spoke up again, "I don't know if Kyle is there. Are you sure you saw him get in the car?"
"Yes I 'm sure he was in the car too. I can spot his stupid hat from anywhere." Wendy laughed at her friends comment.
"We need a place to hide so they won't notice us," Wendy said scanning over the area. "How about the bushes over there?" She asked pointing to the large bush in someone's lawn right across the street from Stan's.
"Ew, no, I'm not hiding in a bush."
"Alright, you choose where we should hide then," Wendy rudely replied back.
"Fine, fine, we can sit in the damn bush," Bebe said knowing that there was nowhere else to hide. The girls sat in the shrub for about an hour until they became bored. They had just been on their phones most of the time checking out what the latest gossip was on all their sites. Wendy was trying to stay focused, and looked up almost every few minutes.
"How long do we have to wait here?" Bebe wined, she could think of a hundred better things to do.
"Just until they come out. Literally. If Stan Marsh is dating his best friend over me, the world has got to know," Wendy spoke with vengeance.
"I thought you didn't like Stan though. Wasn't the main point of you starting to talk to him again to become his friend? I know you haven't talked to him much since high school started," Bebe asked her friend and Wendy slightly frowned.
"We did go to homecoming together in 9th grade, after that we really stopped talking. I don't know Bebe. I just feel like, maybe I'd be a burden to him. I want to be his friend again, but if he's off being gay I don't know how well that will go," Wendy admitted.
"Just because he's gay doesn't mean he doesn't want to be friends with a girl. Isn't that like, what they're supposed to do? He can be your gay best friend." Wendy sort of smiled at that comment. "Do you still want to do this or are you too deep in self-pity?" Bebe asked her.
"It's still on," Wendy said slowly nodding her head. She did feel a bit bad about it still. "Maybe we shouldn't get pictures or like, even tell people," She said hoping Bebe would agree.
Bebe laughed "You dragged me all the way out here and into a bush. If you aren't getting any dirt on them, I sure as hell am." Wendy didn't argue, because it was true. They already started, there was no point in going back now.
Stan and Kyle were in Stan's room talking about things. "I still haven't told my brother yet," Kyle said.
"Will he tell your parents? The last thing I need is to have them call my parents and tell them," Stan asked.
"No, I'll tell him not to tell. Do you plan on ever telling your parents?" Kyle questioned back.
Stan hesitated, "If you want me too. I don't know, it just scares me since I don't know how they would react. It's a weird concept for them to handle, you know?"
"Oh I know dude. I think I can get off with it better since Ike has already set the stage, but having two sons who are gay might throw them overboard." Kyle said and Stan sort of laughed at Kyle's mildly joking tone.
"Well, it's getting late you wanna head home?"
"Sure dude, let's go" Stan and Kyle got up and headed out the door.
After waiting a good amount of time Stan and Kyle finally exited the house. Wendy nearly jumped when she noticed. She hit Bebe to get her attention. They both followed the boys with their eyes and their phones ready. The two boys go into the car.
"Shit, they are probably heading to Kyle's. Come on run!" Wendy shouted to Bebe while pushing her out of the bush. They ran as fast as they could cutting threw some lawns. Once they got a house away they took cover behind a tree. Lucky they got there just in time, Stan's car was just pulling up.
"I got a perfect shot of the inside of the car," Bebe smiled putting up her phone to take a picture. Wendy pulled her's out and she had a view of the side window, it wasn't the best though. Then they saw the jackpot prize, the boys leaned in and kissed. Wendy couldn't even take a picture, she was in shock. She was not expecting anything like that to happen.
"Quick, quick," Bebe whispered pushing Wendy over into the yard next to them behind a fence. They watched Kyle walk up to his door and Stan drive off threw the small holes in the wood fence. "Oh, my, fucking, god," Bebe said in pure shock. "I didn't think that would happen. Holy shit."
"Yeah, that's for sure," Wendy said agreeing with her friend. Bebe opened up her phone camera roll and looked at the new pictures.
"I got some really good ones," Bebe said flipping through them. "So where are we uploading them? Did you get any?"
"I, uh, actually, didn't get any. Make sure you upload them to twitter and Facebook under a different name, not ours. As far as anyone knows, we never took these," Wendy said slowly still a bit hesitant if she really wanted to exploit them...
"Gotcha, they are now uploaded to the internet. Do you mind if I leave then since we finished the job? I have some things I need to finally get done." Bebe asked while she got up and gave Wendy a hand. "Don't feel bad, Stan and Kyle will be having an ever worse day than how you are feeling tomorrow," Bebe winked and laughed.
Wendy did feel bad for what happened, but maybe they already told their friends. Maybe people already knew, but if people knew, she would have known it too. Wendy did know that everyone was going to know tomorrow at school. She grab her phone to check the social media's, the pictures were commented by a lot of people already. Stan and Kyle weren't really ones for those sites, so she assumed they probably won't know until tomorrow morning. Though as long as she kept her mouth shut, no one will know she was there, after all Bebe was the one who took the pictures.
Kyle was home and checked the kitchen for a quick snack before he headed upstairs. Ike was also in the kitchen making some soup. "Where's mom and dad?" Kyle asked him.
"A meeting I think? They told me but I wasn't really listening," Ike responded back.
Kyle nodded his head, and figured this is the best time to tell his brother about him and Stan. "I'm following in your footsteps," Kyle started.
Ike stopped stirring his soup and gave Kyle a confused expression.
"Stan and I are you know, whatever," Kyle said, a bit lost for words. He knew Ike would understand, but it was hard either way to confess.
Ike simply laughed at his brother, "Proud of you man. Did your stupid love letter thing work?"
"It got us talking again which was nice."
"So, are you going to tell mom and dad? I'm sure they will be in complete joy having two gay sons."
"I don't know when or if I'll tell them. Stan doesn't want to tell his parents. It's just stupid how parents don't understand or accept their kid. I want to tell them, but I know they will call Stan's mom and dad and that's something he doesn't want," Kyle explained.
"That makes sense. You should convince him to tell though. Even if it makes the relationship with your parents feel rotten it will eventually pass," Ike told his brother.
"I'll try dude. Thank for all the help and advice, about everything," Kyle said back starting to leave the kitchen.
"I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be the other way around though," Ike joked back.
The next day at school Stan and Kyle had noticed lots of people giving them weird looks and heard a few whispers under peoples breathe. Once they got to lunch things really started to kick off. When Stan and Kyle sat down right away the truth came out.
"What's up faggots?" Cartman asked with laughter in his voice.
"Why is everyone saying shit like that?" Kyle asked to the whole group.
"Haven't you guys seen Facebook, you are the talk of the town," Craig responded.
"Here," Kenny said a bit sadly and handed his phone to Stan. Kyle leaned over to see the screen also.
On it was two photos, one of them at lunch and one when they were in Stan's car the night before. Both of their hearts sank to their feet, they didn't know whether to deny or accept the photos. Neither of them spoke for a few moments looking at the pictures.
"So how long have you dumbasses been dating?" Cartman asked them.
Kyle, completely ignore what Cartman said, asked "Who the fuck posted these pictures?" No one responded, simply because no one knew. It was under some weird username.
