TWEEK

A MONTH LATER

I sip my coffee scratching my hair. Oh my god this has been so hard. I twitch a little. I can't wait until college is over. I'm only taking two classes, but they are kicking my ass. I'm currently taking a writing class and a computer class. The professor for my writing class doesn't like extra words. She wants you to get to the point whereas my computer professor doesn't give enough information. Thank god for google. I sip my coffee.

"Mm…" I hum to myself. I'm so thankful for this coffee because I don't have Craig to help me. I smile thinking about him. He has been so helpful. I like talking to him. Craig is different but not at the same time. His taste in movies has changed over the years. He has a thing for psychological thrillers. He also likes looking stuff up online when he is curious. It's really cool and interesting. I smell something so sweet taking me out of my thoughts. It captures my attention. I glance up from my biology book. What is that? I know mom is baking anything. I spot Kyle placing an order at the counter. He has his man bag on looking really stressed. I get up walking over to him. "Kyle," He turns to look at me.

"Hey Tweek," he replies. I smile at him. He smells wonderful. I wonder if I had this cologne would it drive Craig crazy. I shake my head trying to focus on Kyle. I need to stop thinking about Craig. Kyle stares off behind me. "You studying too?"

"Gah," I shriek before swallowing my voice. I twitch before calming myself down. "Yeah…I'm really struggling."

"That makes the both of us," he replies. "I have to keep telling myself this is for a better secure future. Not only that this is my career and not job."

"It's true," I reply. "Um if you don't mind me asking what are wearing today? I mean the cologne. It smells so pleasant!" Kyle looks taken back beginning to blush. Oh did I say something wrong. One of my coworkers let Kyle know his coffee is ready. He grabs his coffee before walking back over to me.

"U-um….yeah…..about that," he says nervously. "I would say don't tell people, but they are going to find out anyway. I'm transitioning to be an omega." I'm in shock. I heard of this being done. People transitioning to alphas or transitioning to omegas. Technology has allowed this to be possible. It can't capture everything. Like transition alphas can't knot their partner and transitioned omegas can't have heats. Transition omegas can be bonded and carry children with the aid of a doctor.

"Oh…." I say slowly. "I didn't mean to pry into something so personal. Your scent smells so good." Kyle actually smiles.

"Really?" he asks. "I still can't really smell it."

"Don't worry about that," I reply. "Most of us omegas can't scent our smell. I mean we can, but it usually smells different to other people especially alphas."

"I do recall the doctor saying that," states Kyle. "What do you think I smell like?"

"Follow me to my table," I suggest. "Privacy or whatever."

"Oh I appreciate it," he replies following me to my table. "I don't want just anybody to know I am transitioning although they will find out anyway." He sits down across from me sipping his coffee. "I swear I can't live without your coffee. I love your parent's coffee." This makes me grin hard.

"Trust me I know," I giggle. "Dad is working on selling bags for people to purchase to take home."

"I would love that," says Kyle. "And probably in trouble because I would be drinking it nonstop." He takes another sip. "So uh my scent."

"Right," I reply not forgetting what I was going to say. "Um you smell like warm baked apples with honey. It's not overpowering but just enough. I usually ignore the scent of omegas, but I like yours. I didn't know that was what I was smelling." I begin to blush as does Kyle. He laughs anxiously.

"That sounds um delicious," he replies. "I didn't think my scent was going to be baked goods."

"To an alpha most definitely," I reply. "Are you doing okay? I know that journey can be hard for some."

"You're so kind Tweek," he replies. "The journey has been incredible. I know people think you can just walk in there and say I want to be an omega." He sighs. "I never felt like I was suppose to be a beta. I always thought I was destined to be omega. I started seeing a doctor about the transition when I was 18. I waited to see if the feelings would go away throughout high school but it didn't. At one point I tried to tell Stan but he didn't get it." Oh my god. Something tells me that didn't do well. It's been 3 years since then. I wonder if that is what caused the rift between. Kyle clears his throat. "My family well it was mixed feelings. My mom is under the impression I don't love myself. My dad seems conflicted still. He is accepting but not at the time. Ike….." Kyle sighs. "He thought I wanted to be an omega for attention. He doesn't get that this is who I am. I'm just finally making it happen." I nod to encourage him to continue. "I just finally got the okay from the doctor to start taking my hormones and everything. I had to complete a lot of counseling and therapy which I still have to go to. My body is still adjusting but I feel like me for the first time in my life."

"I'm so happy for you," I reply. I can't imagine presenting and feeling like I'm not in the right class. "I honestly don't mind being an omega but the monthly mating…..I didn't like that. Just ugh…..can't I decide when I want to mate." Kyle nods.

"I'm honestly glad that I won't have to deal with heat mating," he replies. "The thought alone scares me."

"I'm surprised," I reply. "Most omegas love mating." Kyle frowns.

"Glad to know someone else isn't like Butters," he says bitterly. I swallow hard. I can scent he doesn't like Butters. His emotions are that strong I can smell them. I don't tell him this not wanting him to freak out.

"Definitely not," I reply.

"Mating should be with your mate," says Kyle. "I mean if you can help it. I'm no virgin, but I was able to decide when and where. Not my heat telling me it is time to make babies." He is speaking to my soul right now.

"Um want to hear a secret?" I ask. Kyle's ears perk up hearing this. I trust him as he is trusting me. I feel like he will understand me based on what I have heard from him so far. "Only my close friends know but I just mated for the first time 6 months ago for my heat." Kyle jaw drops open.

"Tweek are you serious?" he asks. He shakes his head. "I mean of course you are. Like how?"

"Suppressants," I reply. I sigh. "I really didn't want to have sex until I was ready. Sadly, I reached the age limit to take suppressants so I had to mate." Kyle covers his mouth.

"Oh my god…" he replies. "Did you have to do it with some random?" He almost looks ill.

"Actually no," I reply. "My mating partner is Craig." Kyle eyes widen before he smiles with a chuckle.

"Here we were thinking we made up that chemistry we saw at the party," he replies. I blush. "I'm just being honest. You guys look good together. I know Craig doesn't want to be tied down. That is how come I don't understand why Leslie was acting out."

"You know about that?" I ask. Kyle nods his head taking another sip.

"We all know about that," he replies rolling his eyes. "I know Craig doesn't speak on his mating partners. Well at least not to any of us. It was clear Leslie was jealous. I believe if an omega is meant for the alpha you will know. I think Craig is meant for you. He smiled when he was with you, he was protective, kind, gentle. I don't know how he is behind closed doors but that is what I saw from you guys being together at the party." I'm stunned. I must remind myself Kyle was in the top 3 of our graduating class. He pays more attention than Kenny. "I hope I'm not overstepping."

"No, not at all," I reply. "Thank you for telling me what you saw. It means a lot to me." Kyle studies me as I drink some of my own coffee.

"You like him, don't you?" he asks. I blush and just nod my head. I swallow down my shyness.

"I know Craig and I broke up before," I say slowly. "It made sense at the time for us to go our own way. I like the person he has become." I look down at my notebook. "Why would he be interested in a shy dorky guy like me when he can have whoever he wants." Kyle places his hand over top of mine.

"Be confident," suggests Kyle. "I know this is scary. I know Craig is well….Craig. The way he treats you says a lot more than his words." Kyle has no idea true that is. Deep down I feel like Craig is beginning to see me as a mate. I want him to. I don't want to be with anyone else.

"A-Any suggestions?" I ask with my voice shaking.

"Be yourself," replies Kyle. He begins to smile. "Knowing Craig he will see through the bullshit, like with Leslie." I can't help but laugh a little. I nod with my hair bouncing from the movement. "Any suggestions for me? Like I'm struggling with scenting everyone emotions. I feel crazy." I begin to laugh along with Kyle. We end up talking for an hour. We decide to exchange numbers to keep in contact. He said he needs a support system. He would prefer for it to be someone who respects him. The only people that know about his transition outside his direct family is Kenny. I guess since he isn't close to Stan or Cartman as he didn't see the need to tell them. I don't blame him seeing as he expressed the transition to Stan with his reaction being less than nice. He doesn't want to go to a support group for transitioning omegas. I get it. Kyle is an omega. I will make sure that he gets all the support he needs. Besides I could use a little support myself. I smile feeling like for the first time since Token and Clyde left, I have a best friend.
