Double shot of espresso, one shot of sugar syrup, steamed milk, whip cream topping and chocolate drizzle. Tweek was busy whipping up different kinds of coffees, some just simple but more complicated but nothing was too much for the blonde. The morning rush at the coffee shop was passed and not much people were coming in, besides the few stray wondering people or teens playing hooky. It was just like any other week day.
"Here's your coffee sir." Tweek served the drink with a smile, always being friendly with the customers. Though on the inside he was yelling at himself, chewing himself out for doing unspeakable things with his long time crush. It was obvious he was faking his smiles, everything seemed quite forced and only people who were blind or didn't know him couldn't tell. As Tweek sighed, thinking of what happened the night before. Craig's blue eyes, staring at him with such passion, his body ached thinking about it. Tweek melted thinking such things but quickly pushed the thought out of his mind when he pictured Bebe catching them in the act and how she might react. Maybe beating Tweek up, or perhaps it was all some sick joke they had planned to black mail him with. Just as Tweek was at the verge of tears a voice called out to him.
"Tweek...Tweek!" A female with short brown hair and big green eyes was trying to get the blonde's attention. "Serious Tweek, can you try not to have a panic attack at work?" She let out a long sigh, "If you're having a problem you can take a break whenever you need, just relax okay?" She gave a gentle smile, she could sense that Tweek was having one of his moments.
The blonde gave a small nod, "Sorry Karen." He fought back the bad thoughts just like his therapist had told him to do and focus on something else. "I'll get back to work. I'll take a break if it gets any worse." Tweek tried to smile though Karen could see through how fake it was.
"Honestly Tweek, If my brother finds out that I'm not taking good care of his friend, he'll get upset." She gave him a comforting smile and patted his arm. "Just don't push yourself okay? Plus it's almost lunch and Kenny will be here soon." Kenny. Just the person Tweek didn't want to see after what happened last night.
Tweek had been distracting himself with work all morning, hoping to get any sort of thought of Craig out of his mind and trying to think of ways to avoid Kenny. That blonde boy would be the death of him for sure. As he finished up cleaning the dishes that had been lingering in the sink, Tweek turned to Karen. "I'm gonna go on my break now." The brunette smiled and nodded. He tossed off his apron hoping to leave the cafe early enough to miss Kenny but it was too late, Tweek's hopes and dreams had been crushed as the bell rung to welcome a new customer. Kenny stepped into the coffee shop.
"Tweek my boy!" The booming voice of the blonde startled the gitter bug. "Getting off for lunch? Good. Just in time, let's go sit down in the booth." Kenny gave a wink towards Tweek making the other shutter. "Karen, I want the usual and something for Tweek. Lunch is on me, you dog." He gave quite a coy smile as he went towards the booth near the back of the cafe, that was quite far from most costumers. Tweek had no choice but to join, it was impossible to escape. Mission failed!
Tweek wiggled his way into the booth, he sat on the opposite side of the very devilish blonde. He had a bit of dirt on his face and smelt of oil. Kenny worked at the auto body shop a few blocks down the road form the cafe. The gittery blonde didn't say anything as he tried to look anywhere except for Kenny's eyes. Nerves tangled together as he trembled in fear of what words might spill from the other male's lips. God this was too much for Tweek to handle, might as well just spill now, he knew it was all over for him now. When Kenny wanted to know things, he will do anything in his power to get what he wants.
"Tweek buddy ol' pal, did you have fun last night? You know ditching your roomies to grind up against you know who on the dance floor." Kenny had a sweet smile, well that's what a regular person would see it as. The smile was dark, it was almost saying, 'Tweek you might as well give up and tell me or I'll make your life hell'. "I don't care, you were having fun. But coming home in the morning from someone else's place who's already dating someone and that someone is Bebe. That's just asking for trouble." God Kenny was sounding a father! Who does he think he is? He was such a play boy in high school, not to mention now! Why does he care about this kind of thing? "Tweek..." He said in a strict tone, one that he only ever used if he was really serious, "Are you even listening?"
Tweek was listening, he was just scared to speak knowing he'd probably fuck up his sentence with a stutter, or not being able to even complete a sentence due to his nervousness of what Kenny was going to say or do. "S-Sorry." He lowered his head as if he was some kid being yelled at by his parents.
"Don't be sorry idiot. I'm just worried you're going to get into some trouble." Kenny leaned forward, leaning against the table and reached his arm out to give a quick flick to the other blonde's forehead. "Now that I'm done with this serious shit, tell me all the dirty details from last night." The male gave a pervy grin as if he was ready to read some erotic novel or something weird kinky shit.
Tweek rolled his eyes, growing loudly as he pushed himself against the backing of the booth seat. "Gaah! Seriously Kenny!?" He sunk deep into his chair, his face was flushed as he was growing embarrassed by the sudden change of topic."Yeah, I am serious! Tell me, or I'll never leave you alone."
Karen interrupted the conversation the two boys were having. "You can't talk about these sort of things here. Geez, you're sick." She stuck her tongue out at her brother as she placed a cup of coffee in front of her elder brother, along with a sandwich for both boys and a large cup of black coffee for Tweek. "Aw Karen, you're no fun." Her brother chuckled along but nodded, "I'll talk with Tweek later about it, no need to worry." Kenny waited for his sister to head back behind the counter and turned back to Tweek, "Tonight, we're going drinking. We're going to talk about it if you like it or not." Kenny said with a such a straight face it took Tweek off guard. They had their meal with laughter after such a serious topic, but Kenny always knew how to turn the atmosphere around.
After a good laugh after lunch, Kenny paid for it and headed back to work. Tweek took a small emotional breathe before putting back on his apron and helping out Karen. At least now that Kenny was gone, Tweek had some time to relax before he was forced back out to go to the bar.
Finally it was closing time, Tweek was bringing in the sign as Karen was sweeping the floors. The coffee shop was still for a moment as the two worked in silence. Finally it was interrupted by Karen, "You can hang up your apron and leave yea' know? I don't mind closing on my own, besides, you got things to do with my brother." She gave such a gentle smile, she was always a good girl. "Yeah, Alright. Thanks Karen." Tweek gave a weak smile, his nerves swirling into each other. He went to the back, hung up his apron and pulled on his coat getting ready to leave. Karen was finishing cleaning the table tops as Tweek was stepping out, "Have a goodnight Karen, Thanks for closing up." The two smiled to one another as the twitchy blonde gave his goodbyes.
Tweek sighed stepping out into the streets, there wasn't much people out since most were spending time with family around these hours. The blonde boy walked down the cold snowy streets and sighed with every few steps. Each step grew more intense as he grew closer to the bar, the pressure was building up. Once reaching the entrance of the bar, Tweek had to take a few deep breaths. He clenched the bottom of his shirt as he tried to calm himself.
Pushing open the door the sound of music and chatter filled the blonde's ears as he walked in. He saw his friends waving him over once noticing him. Kyle smiled quite happily as Tweek sat down in the booth next to him. "How was work today?" Kyle asked making small talk, the twitchy boy only shrugged as he was adjusting to his surroundings. Butters was sitting across from me with a big goofy smile, like he usually has, "Hey Tweak~" He said in a quite chipper way, it seemed like something good was happening with Butters and it was nice to see him happy. Tweek goes way back with Butters, they've been good friends since the third grade and they've been like that since forever. Butters was the first person Tweak came out to and told every secret the boy could ever keep. Of course Butters also told Tweak all his secrets, one being how he's been crushing a on the number one playboy of South Park, Kenny McCormick. In high school Kenny had weekly partners, he managed to have a new 'lover' at a blink of an eye. Gender never mattered as long as the playboy was having fun. Though recently, Kenny and Butters have been getting pretty close, according to Karen, Kenny hasn't been seeing his usual 'friends' for quite some time now. So it was looking up on Butter's side of the romance world.
"Hey Butters, hey Kyle." Tweek greeted his friends. They were quite for quite a bit just talking about their days, mostly making jokes about some of the people walking by, some girls looks so stuck up it was too funny to the three. Soon Stan and Wendy arrived. During the first year of high school Stan and Wendy were dating but after many break ups they decided staying just friends seemed like the best option since Wendy already knew about Stan's feelings for Kyle and she didn't mind at all. Wendy has been always a smart and understanding girl, she's someone you could easily get along with. Everyone seemed to be talking and just having a good time. A few drinks were ordered and becoming quite a party in our small group.
Once Kenny arrived it became more lively, he always seemed to bring out everyone's wild side when he came around. "Hello my lovely friends!" Kenny greeted bringing around beers to all of them. "Looks like someone is feeling generous today." Wendy laughed as she happily accepted the beer. "Oh by my dear, I am always generous but today is just special." He replied back. Everyone seemed to just be completely lively even Butters, his face seemed to light up right away, his cheeks a soft shade of pink. Tweek smiled and whispered into his best friend's ear, "Seems like your boy over there is quite giving." They two blondes looked at each other and laughed. "Seriously Tweek, don't say such embarrassing things." Butters managed to laugh out. That's when Kenny made his way to us, "One apple martini for you," He gave a wink to Butters, as he had ordered Butters his favourite drink. "And a good ol' beer for you, the star of the night." Kenny gave the last beer to Tweek.
"S-Star?" Tweek muttered out as he was confused by Kenny's statement. "Yeah, Star. You're the main event of this evening, you're telling us that dirty story you've been hiding all day. Now don't be shy alright?" Kenny laughed patting me the shoulder and he sat next to Kyle and Stan who seemed to be in their own world. Tweek chugged a good portion of his beer that he wasn't sure he wanted but he might as well get drunk enough to feel better about telling this awful tale. "Alright." Tweek huffed out a sigh. "I guess I'll start off from when Craig and I saw each other yesterday..." Everyone seemed to turn their attention to Tweek as he began to tell the story.
