More cabin shenanigans! I'm glad you're all liking the sequel so far. So, I'm gonna reward you with another chapter. Yay!
Chapter 2 – Cabin in the Woods on a Hill
Token and Clyde hadn't changed much over the years. Token had become a bit of a womanizer, but he was still smarter and more observant than the other three. And still acted as the mother of the group. He was the tallest of the four, and ever since he and Clyde started taking track and field as well as swimming, he had become incredibly well toned and had a lot of stamina. His hair was still short and thick, and his family was still rich. He seemed to enjoy teasing and jokingly hitting on his friends a lot more now.
Clyde had mellowed out in five years. He didn't cry as much, and he didn't hit on girls much anymore. He claimed it was because he wanted to focus more on school, as the four of them planned to go to the same college when they graduated. Because of swimming and track and field, he had thinned up and was almost as well toned as Token. His hair was a little bit longer so that his bangs fell a little into his eyes. He was about the same height as Craig, and they always debated over who was taller, but they couldn't stay still long enough to be accurately measured. He still stuck to Craig's side, even though Craig and Tweek were properly going out now, as he was determined not to be replaced as Craig's best friend.
"Hey Craig," Token called as he dragged one of the suitcases to the bedroom, "You wanna help with one of these bags?"
"No, why would I ever do that?" Craig asked. Token glared at him from across the room.
"Because otherwise your stuff is staying on the floor," he growled. Craig rolled his eyes.
"Fine," he muttered, going over to help Token.
All four went to the bedroom to get a good look at it. It was a cozy little room, and like Clyde had said, had two good sized beds against opposite walls. There was a nightstand in between the two beds with a lamp and a digital clock. There was a rug on the floor, and a small dresser with four drawers. A large window with wooden shutters and a mesh screen over it was over one of the beds. The beds themselves looked quite comfortable.
"Okay, sleeping arrangements!" Token exclaimed, clapping his hands, "Me and Tweek?"
"No!" Craig cried out, throwing his arms around his twitchy boyfriend, "Mine!"
"Sorry, Clyde, looks like you're stuck with me!" Token grinned.
Clyde rolled his eyes. "All right, but you better not start touching me in my sleep again," he warned him.
"I make no promises," Token said.
After they had put away all their stuff, Craig flopped down on one of the beds, the one closest to the window. "Sleep," he mumbled. Clyde frowned, then walked over to him and bent over to wrap his arms around him. With very little effort, Clyde lifted Craig off the bed and clean off his feet. Eyes wide, with his arms pinned to his sides, Craig tried to struggle out of his friend's grip. "No!" he cried, "Sleepies!"
"You can sleep later," Clyde told him, carrying him out of the cabin, "We just got here, for crying out loud."
Tweek and Token stared after them with wide eyes. Token eventually turned to Tweek. "You want to take a walk and see what's around here?" he asked.
"Uh, sure," Tweek replied. He started up the coffee maker in the kitchen then they left the cabin and started walking in the opposite direction of the one Clyde was carrying Craig. Tweek was just a bit nervous as he walked alongside Token. While Token was undeniably his friend, and he knew he had his back, the two of them rarely hung out alone together. Usually Clyde or Craig was there with them. Even in all their years of knowing each other, Tweek could not think of a single instance of being alone with Token. This fact alone made Tweek a little unnerved.
"So, how are things going with Craig?" Token asked as they walked along.
"All right, I guess," Tweek replied meekly, "Ever since that thing with Jess he's been more affectionate than ever, which is nice. And I really like that he spends so much time with me. I'm sure other people might feel like they were being smothered, but I really like the attention."
Token looked over at him as he fell silent. He felt like there was a "but" in there, but he didn't want to make things awkward by saying it out loud. He didn't have to, though as Tweek let out a heavy sigh.
"What's wrong?" Token wondered.
"I really do love him," Tweek explained, "And I tell him this every day. I just… I wish he would say it back to me just once. Even if he doesn't really mean it, it would be nice hear him say it."
Token frowned and put an arm around him. "I know Clyde has probably told you this before, but Craig has a hard time expressing his emotions," he told him, "Especially any emotion other than apathy. He has trouble saying how he's feeling. I'm sure he really does love you, he's just confused about it."
Sighing, Tweek stared at the ground. "I wish he could open up to me," he mumbled.
"He will, just give him time," Token encouraged.
"But it's been seven years since we started dating!" Tweek whined, "How much more time does he need?" Token couldn't answer that.
…
When they got back from their walk, Clyde and Craig were not back yet, so Token and Tweek set to work unpacking their suitcases. Token had brought a generous supply of food to put in the fridge, a good amount of it could be cooked over an open fire. After getting himself a cup of coffee, Tweek meticulously put his clothes away, making sure to leave enough room in each drawer for Craig. It probably would have been easier for each guy to just have their own drawer, since there were four, but Token insisted on "intermingling their clothes" with Tweek and Craig taking the top two and Token and Clyde taking the bottom two.
After a while, Clyde and Craig came back, with Clyde carrying Craig on his back, piggyback style. Apparently after a while Craig had gotten tired of walking and simply slumped to the ground. When Clyde told him to get up, Craig had stood and climbed onto Clyde's back, wearing his usual blank expression. Then Clyde carried him back to the cabin.
Clyde let go of Craig who immediately got down and went over to where Tweek was still arranging his clothes. Tweek looked at him.
"Oh, hey," he greeted, "I left room for your clothes."
"Thanks, babe," Craig replied. He went over and grabbed his suitcase and then started shoving his clothes unceremoniously into the drawers as Tweek watched with a some-what horrified expression. When he had finished, and somehow managed to close the drawers, he went over and flopped onto the bed he had claimed. Tweek followed, after getting over his initial shock.
"You're not just going to sleep all week, are you?" he asked as he laid down on his side facing Craig.
"That wasn't my entire plan," Craig responded, his eyes closed, "But it was a majority of it."
Tweek sighed and leaned over, gently and quickly kissing Craig on the lips. With his eyes still closed, a small smile crept onto Craig's face. It didn't last long, though, as Clyde had quietly entered the room and grabbed a hold of Craig's legs and started dragging him off the bed. Craig's eyes snapped open and he desperately started clawing at the bedsheets.
"Tweek!" he exclaimed, "Help!"
"No!" Clyde growled, easily pulling him off the bed, "You're not going to spend most of your time sleeping! That's what school is for! You're going to have fun with the rest of us!"
"No!" Craig objected, "Don't wanna!"
Clyde slung Craig over his shoulder and carried him out into the main room with Tweek quickly getting up and following. It was late afternoon when they had arrived, so now it was moving into early evening.
Token was outside their cabin, preparing the firepit that was there. It was set a bit away from the cabin so there would be no chance of accidentally catching it on fire. There were eight chairs in a ring around the pit for people and their guests to sit. Clyde carried Craig out to the pit and set him down in one of the chairs and taking the seat next to him. Before Craig could even start to get up, Clyde propped his legs up onto his lap. Tweek took the other seat next to Craig.
"I really hate you sometimes, you know that, Clyde?" Craig growled at him. Clyde gave him a charming smile.
"Love you too, buddy," he said.
After getting the fire started, Token took a seat next to Clyde. "So, what do you guys feel like for dinner?" he asked, "I brought the sandwich makers and some metal sticks, so we can make pretty much anything. Within reason." He added quickly as Craig opened his mouth to demand something ridiculous.
"Ooh! I want to make one of those pizza sandwiches!" Clyde exclaimed, "I always love making those whenever I go camping! You brought the stuff, right, Token?"
"Yeah," Token replied, "They're in the re-"
"Oh yay!" Clyde interrupted, quickly jumping up and racing back into the cabin.
"Refrigerator," Token finished slowly.
Clyde was back outside in a moment carrying all the supplies needed to cook food over an open fire. He sat down again and plopped his legs down on Craig's lap, who glared at him. As the four friends started preparing their meals, they suddenly heard the sound of footsteps in the grass. Craig looked up and scowled.
"What do you guys want?" he growled as Stan, Kyle, Kenny, and Cartman approached.
"Good ol' Cartman ate all our food before we even got here," Stan told him as Kyle and Kenny glared at Cartman, "So we don't have any food until we go into town tomorrow to get more."
Craig opened his mouth to tell them to fuck off, but Token spoke first. "Would you guys like to eat with us?" he offered, "We have plenty of food."
"Token, stop being nice all the time," Craig muttered lowly. Token looked at him.
"Why?" he wondered.
Before Craig could answer, Stan and his friends took the remaining seats by the fire. "Thank you, Token," Kyle said politely.
Craig rolled his eyes and turned to Clyde. "Get your feet off me," he ordered.
"I'll think about it," Clyde replied as he put his pizza sandwich together.
Next chapter I have not started yet, so it might be a while. I'm probably going to spend another two or three chapters with them at the cabin. Then they get to enter their final year of high school! Anyway, look forward to that. And I promise I'll try to make the chapters longer.
