This is probably going to be the last chapter with them at the cabin, then it's just one week until school starts! That's when the drama starts! Fun! Anyway, this.
(Sorry this and my other stories have taken so long to update. I've been really feeling my depression lately, and it's hard for me to get motivated to write when I'm like this. I start to feel like all my work is crap when I get like that. I'll try to have chapters up sooner.)
Chapter 5 – Not Much of a Hiker
"Hey, you guys want to go for a hike in the woods today?" Token asked as the four of them sat at the table, eating breakfast.
Tweek twitched harshly. "NNG! I guess," he replied, "Craig and I were actually talking about that yesterday. AH! As long as we don't go anywhere scary."
Craig smiled at him and leaned over, giving a quick kiss on the cheek. Tweek blushed a little and leaned into him, and Craig kissed him again.
"You guys are adorable," Clyde commented, smiling at them. Craig glared at him.
"You're adorable," he growled. Clyde's grin widened.
"Thank you!"
"Damn it," Craig hissed. Beside him, Tweek snickered and gave him a light shove. Before a shoving match between the two could break out, Token cleared his throat.
"Anyway, hike? Woods? In them?" he asked.
"Oh yeah, sure," Craig replied, "Just let me finish my breakfast." His three friends stared at him as he sat there, not moving, and not touching what was left of his eggs. Token quickly grew annoyed.
"Well?" he implied.
Craig blinked slowly. "Ok, I'm ready," he announced. Token repressed a sigh as they all stood up and headed out the door.
Immediately, Tweek was pressed to Craig's side and their hands were linked together. Token and Clyde walked in front of them, arguing about which path to take on their hike. They walked down the dirt road that lead to main area of the site, along with the lake. They could see quite a few people swimming, despite it being early in the morning.
Tweek watched them as they walked by. There were several families, with most of the parents laying on the beach while the children swam. Tweek shivered slightly. Why would anyone want to go swimming in a lake? It was dirty, and there could be lake monsters! He pressed harder against Craig.
Past the lake there was a wide-open picnic area, with lots of picnic tables, some of them having umbrellas in the middle to keep the table shady. No one was there now, but Tweek imagined that later in the day the place would be nearly full. And when that time came, Tweek knew he was going to be far away.
After the picnic area were the main buildings, like administrations, park ranger, and even a general store. It was probably there in case anyone forgot something important. Tweek wondered if they had any cheesy souvenirs. He kind of wanted to get new mugs for his parents.
"Hey guys," Clyde suddenly said, bringing Tweek back from his thoughts, "Tonight you want to go skinny dipping in the lake?"
"Absolutely not," Craig replied, not hesitating in the slightest. Tweek flinched violently.
"GAH! Skinny dipping?!" he repeated, "Like getting completely naked and going swimming? Why on Earth would we do that?!"
"Because!" Clyde answered simply, "It would be funny! Besides, no one would know. We'd do it at night."
Tweek twitched again. "B-But there are fish in the lake," he argued, "And lake monsters! And we would be naked! In front of each other!"
"I doubt there are lake monsters, Tweek," Token pointed out reasonably. He turned to Clyde. "As for me, I think it's a hilarious idea. There's a strong part of me that wants to do at least one stupid thing before senior year. I'm in."
"Craig?" Clyde looked at him hopefully. Craig let out a heavy sigh.
"Only if you don't bug me to do anything else stupid for the rest of the year," he bargained. Clyde grinned wildly.
"Deal!" he said.
Tweek flinched violently. "Really, Craig?" he exclaimed, "You're -NNG- going to go skinny dipping at night in a freezing cold lake?" Though Tweek had seen Craig naked before (from Butters's wieners out movement to the occasional shower together) it always made Tweek blush thinking about it.
Craig grinned and wrapped the smaller boy in his arms and pressed him close. "Don't worry babe," he said, "You don't have to come with us if it makes you uncomfortable." He gave the blond a small kiss on the cheek.
"NNG! Ok," Tweek mumbled.
On the way back to the cabin, they stopped at the general to get a few snacks and Tweek bought some mugs for his parents. While they walked, Craig suddenly ran forward and jumped up onto Clyde's back.
"Piggyback," Craig said in a monotone voice and neutral face as he wrapped his arms around Clyde's neck and his legs around his waist. Clyde stumbled under the sudden weight.
"Gah! Craig! What are you doing?!" Clyde gasped. He nearly fell to the ground when Craig jumped on him.
"Piggyback," Craig repeated apathetically.
Clyde had to carry him all the way back to the cabin.
…
Later that evening found Tweek and Craig sitting on their bed together as Craig gently brushed Tweek's unruly hair. Tweek always found it relaxing when Craig brushed his hair, and afterwards was one of the rare times when his hair didn't look like a disaster area. Plus, the feel of the brush running through his hair reminded him of when Craig ran his fingers along his scalp. Tweek's eyes were closed as he leaned back slightly into Craig.
"Does that feel good, boo?" Craig asked in a soft voice.
Tweek hummed in response and leaned further back. He loved it when Craig pampered him. Many times, when the two of them were alone they would take care of each other. Craig would brush Tweek's hair and listen to his latest conspiracy theory, and then Tweek would do the same with Craig while listening to him complain about everything.
They took baths together as well (but Tweek insisted they wear their swim trunks when doing so, as he still wasn't comfortable being nude in front of Craig too much.) They would wash each other, and then Tweek would settle himself between Craig's legs, lay his head on his chest, and fall asleep.
"Don't fall asleep, Tweek," Craig warned, cutting him from his thoughts, "You're brushing my hair after this."
"You know, your hair wouldn't get so tangled if you didn't wear your hat literally all the time," Tweek pointed out, his eyes still closed, "You even wear it when you sleep."
"Stop trying to change me!" Craig muttered.
When he was finished, Craig took Tweek into his arms, who leaned back into him. He hummed a little as Craig started gently kissing his neck. Sighing, Tweek stretched out his neck so Craig could kiss along it.
"I thought you wanted me to brush your hair now," he mumbled, Craig's soft lips making him sleepy.
"I changed my mind," Craig replied, keeping his lips to Tweek's skin, "I'd rather just give my adorable boyfriend lots of kisses."
Tweek smiled to himself and snuggled himself into Craig's lap. It wasn't long before Craig had him so relaxed that he had fallen asleep in Craig's arms. The black-haired boy smiled and nuzzled his face into Tweek's neck.
"You're so cute," he murmured affectionately. He carefully and gently laid Tweek down on the bed and covered him with the thick blanket. Then he leaned over and gave him a kiss on the cheek before quietly leaving the room.
Clyde and Token were waiting in the main room with towels and stupid grins. Craig sighed and rolled his eyes.
"I can't believe we're doing this," he muttered as he followed his two idiot friends out of the cabin. Token grinned at him.
"What's the matter, Craig?" he asked smugly, "Afraid you're going to be intimidated by my impressive length?"
"Token, I've seen your dick before," Craig pointed out, "Clyde has a bigger dick than you." Clyde smiled proudly and raised his head in triumph. "He also is a big dick, but that's beside the point." Token chuckled as Clyde glared.
"Way to make all this unnecessarily gay, Token," Clyde sighed. Their black friend blinked at him in confusion.
"You mean you didn't have a gay agenda when you proposed this?" he asked. Clyde glared at him and punched him in the shoulder. "Ow! Craig! Your friend hit me!"
"Grow up," Craig said simply.
They got to the lake in record time. They made sure they were truly alone before they started stripping their clothes. Craig knew that one or both of his friends were staring at him as he got undressed, but he tried not to let it bother him.
As soon as his clothes were off, Token took off like a mad man towards the end of the dock before jumping in with no hesitation whatsoever. As soon as they got confirmation that the water was actually still quite warm, Craig and Clyde joined him, Craig entering the water much slower than Clyde.
The water was surprisingly nice as Craig lowered himself in, letting it envelop his body. He was careful not to get his hair wet, as he didn't want to go to bed with grimy lake water-soaked hair. And trying to find the showers this late at night did not sound appealing. He watched from near the dock as his friends dunked each other under the water and splashed each other relentlessly.
"Hey Craig!" Token called to him, "Come out here! The water's fine!"
"No, thank you," Craig muttered, "I don't really want to get my dick bitten off by a hungry fish or something."
Clyde stopped from where he was trying to sneak up on Token and looked over at Craig. "Wait, that can happen?" he asked, worry in his voice. Token snickered.
"Calm down, Clyde," he said, "Craig's just being a pussy."
Rolling his eyes, Craig decided to ignore them and looked towards the cabins. He hoped Tweek wouldn't wake up while they were gone. He knew his boyfriend had trouble sleeping if he wasn't there.
Thinking of Tweek made Craig smile as he imagined how the blond was probably curled up asleep with his newly brushed hair all ruffled and a hand over his eyes. He felt something in his heart flare as he thought of his adorable boyfriend. Craig was so distracted by his thoughts, he didn't notice that Token and Clyde had swam over to him.
"Hey Craig, whatchya thinking about?" Clyde asked him.
"Have you guys ever seen Tweek eat peanut butter before?" Craig offered, off topic, "I swear it is the cutest thing ever." A rare smile was forming on his face as he thought about it, and Clyde was sure his friend was blushing.
"And where did this come from?" Token wondered.
"He does this adorable thing where he keeps sticking his tongue out, trying to get the peanut butter off the roof of his mouth," Craig continued as if the other hadn't spoken, "It kind of reminds me of a wide-eyed dog. So cute."
"You all right, Craig?" Clyde questioned.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Why?"
Sighing, Clyde pulled Craig away a bit as Token started trying to do underwater handstands most likely for the sole purpose of flashing his cock. When he decided they were a good distance away, Clyde turned to Craig.
"How's your relationship with Tweek going?" he asked. Craig gave him a confused look.
"Who brought this up?" he wondered.
"You did," Clyde pointed out, "When you randomly decided to talk about how cute Tweek is when he eats peanut butter."
"He is pretty dang cute," Craig mentioned, grinning to himself.
"Are you two all right?" Clyde questioned, "Have you told Tweek you love him yet?"
Craig hesitated and looked away. "Well… no," he muttered, "I'm still not sure if I'm really in love with him or not. I told you before I don't want to lie to him." He paused for a moment, and Clyde saw him blush a little.
"Actually, Tweek and I have been trying to take our relationship to the next step for a while now," he said. Clyde's eyes widened.
"You mean you guys haven't had sex yet?" he exclaimed. Craig's blush deepened.
"No," he muttered, "Every time we try we get interrupted. And I was sort of hoping that maybe if we did have sex I would finally be able to tell if I was in love with him or not."
Clyde stared at him for a moment before speaking. "Ok, so say you two sleep together and you decide you're not in love with him," he proposed, "What would you do then?"
Before Craig could answer him, they heard shouting coming from the opposite shore. They both turned and saw Stan and his friends coming towards the lake, shedding their clothes. Craig hissed with annoyance.
"Damn it! Those guys just have to copy everything we do!" he growled as Token swam over. They watched as the four jumped into the lake, seemingly unaware of the three of them.
"How did they get Kyle to go skinny dipping?" Token asked quietly, "He's the biggest stick-in-the-mud there is!"
"Stan probably promised to give him a blow job or something if he did," Craig guessed casually, "Anyway, let's get out of here before they see us. Then they'll come over want to talk to us."
"And Kenny will probably make a lot of dick jokes," Token agreed as they headed towards the shore where they left their clothes.
"Hey, before we go back to our cabin, we should go over there and steal their clothes!" Clyde suggested, his voice on the verge of giggles.
"Why on Earth would we do that?" Craig questioned.
"It'll be funny!" Clyde insisted.
"Yeah, so funny to pull off one of the most juvenile clichés in the book," Craig commented sarcastically, "There are less than two weeks left until school starts again, and I don't know about you, but I don't really want to start it off with another group already being pissed at us."
"Come on, Craig!" Token pleaded, "Don't be a wimp!"
"You guys already got your stupid request for the year," Craig argued, "You guys can do what you want, but I'm out. I'm going back to bed to cuddle with my adorable boyfriend before he wakes up."
Token and Clyde huffed with annoyance but didn't argue any further as all three of them dried themselves off and got dressed. Craig flipped them off before heading back to the cabin. The lights were still off when he got back, but that didn't necessarily mean Tweek wasn't awake and having a panic attack.
Luckily, that didn't seem to be the case, as Tweek was still curled up, fast asleep. Craig smiled to himself and crawled under the blankets with him. He wrapped his arms around his tiny boyfriend and pulled him close then leaned over and gave him a light kiss on the cheek.
"Good night, boo," he whispered. Then he nuzzled his face into Tweek's neck and drifted off to sleep.
I don't know what was going on with Craig in this chapter. He was just being a weirdo, I guess.
I would like to thank user ukewithdarksoul for putting the idea of them going skinny dipping in my head. I thought it would be something silly and random enough to get a few good laughs.
Again, I want to apologize for the slow updates. Hopefully I'll be getting better at it soon.
