The sound of the tide coming slowly in then slowly out took Tweek out of his dreaming and into a more lucid state. The white noise of the water breathing in, pausing, then breathing out made his whole body relax further in its spot. The waves floating him upwards then downwards as he stayed still, each inward pull raising him and each outward push lowering him.
Tweek liked the ocean, it was calming.
His eyes began to peak open, blurry shades of blue coming through his corneas and registering as him indeed being by the ocean. The saturation of the blue becoming higher as he stared out among the crumpled waves.
Then he heard a sound that had been there the whole time, but he had just pushed aside, a rhythmic thumping. It was strong and healthy, but also light and calm. Each thump pounding against his ear gently.
It sounded like a heartbeat.
The ocean had a heartbeat.
Wait a minute.
Oceans don't have heartbeats.
Tweek shot up in his bed and looked down at what he had been laying on, his eyes widening as he saw Craig laying below him.
"Oh my god!" Tweek shoved the male off the bed in a quick spastic reaction, Craig falling off the bed with no more than a strangled 'wha-'. "Why the hell are you in my bed?!"
Craig groaned from the floor, sitting up and holding his back. The pain sitting on his tailbone from falling on it paining him as he tried to stand. "You told me to, asshole! Didn't have to push me off the bed!"
"You would push me if I just appeared in your bed!" Tweek shivered, his body had been released from the cocoon of the bed and left him alone in the harsh temperatures of his room. Wrapping the blankets around him in an effort to recapture some of the heat that was lost. "And what do you mean 'I told you to'?!"
Craig crossed his arms as he looked down at his tutor. "I mean, you told me to come into bed with you, so I did." He squinted his eyes at Tweek. "Do you not remember me coming in or giving you water, at all?"
"No-w-well-I don't know..." Tweek huddled the covers closer, the heat he had before still missing and not seeming to come from these blankets. "I thought you were a fever dream or something like that." Tweek laid back in bed with an exasperated huff, letting go of the wrappings he had made around himself and covering his eyes with the palms of his hands. He started to shake his head as he thought about the male standing next to his bed. "God, Craig."
Craig watched as Tweek kept his face covered, standing awkwardly as he waited to be shooed away. Bracing himself as Tweek uncovered his face and looked at him with tight eyebrows.
"Come here."
"What?"
"I'm cold." Tweek pouted, his anger and annoyance with the situation still evident in his voice. His hand giving a single quick pat to the bed as he stared with passive down turned brows, the whole scene creating quite the oxymoron. "And..." His voice lowering and eyes averting further. "You're... warm."
Craig let a laugh choke out of him, giving an incredulous look towards his tutor. "Now you want me in your bed?"
Tweek's face splashed with color as he threw a pillow towards Craig. "Don't say it like that! Don't come in if you're gonna be weird."
"No, I'm gonna come in." Craig sat back onto the bed and smirked as Tweek's burnt face grimaced, finding the flushed color too nice not to keep on his tutor. "Gonna come right in."
Tweek cringed further and pushed at the male coming to sit down with him. "Stop being gross! I'm going to dis-invite you into my bed."
"Too late." Craig settled himself fully onto the previously sat on sheets, making sure to scoot extra close to Tweek. "I'm all the way in."
