Tweek's pov

Today's the day I get on a plane. By myself. To Florida to see Craig. It's honestly a scary task. I never thought in a million years I'd ride alone, but the costs of traveling have been up so I have to do this and face my fears. I have only traveled a few times on planes, but to where I can navigate my spot to sit. My mom told me that she can take me up to the gate and wait for me to get on, then Mrs. Tucker will be waiting on the other side when I reach the Orlando Airport. I've had my bags packed for a few days now, occasionally having to dig out some clothes for school then having to rush to clean them. I noticed that most of my clothes I owned were shades of green and brown. It was most likely a cause of my parents putting me in green button ups everyday in elementary and my mom bought most everything I own in middle school, since I was too anxious to explain what I wanted or go up to a worker and ask for help. Now I'm about to be on a plane with complete strangers. I had to take some medication to mellow me out a bit. So I wouldn't have a full on panic attack waiting in the security check. It tasted disgusting though. What else could I have done? I would've done something crazy if not.

"Tweek! Bring your luggage down, so we can get it packed in the car." My mom said from downstairs. I quickly took out my charger and my block and threw it in my carry-on bag, grabbed the suitcase and pushed it down the stairs. Ending in it crashing at the bottom of the stairs. I winced because it took me off guard. "Sweetie, didn't you forget something?" I looked at her in panic. "Wh-what did I forget?!" I started messing with my hands anxiously. "Here let me go get it for you." She then walked towards the storage room. Quickly she came back and handed me a plush dog. My eyes lighted up and grabbed the plush away from her. "Thank you!!" I started jumping up and down while moving my hands back and forth. "Your welcome I thought it might help calm your nerves." I smiled in response. "How about we get this show on the road?" I looked around the house making sure I didn't miss anything and then went back to her and nodded.

The car ride was really nerve racking. All you could hear was the faint sound of the radio. Yet my heart was beating fast, so I could only hear a pounding sound.

"Remember to call me when you get off the plane, it'll be a straight shot there." I hugged her and she gave me a kiss on the cheek. "I love you" "I love you too Tweek, be safe." Then the plane started boarding.

I got on the plane safe and sound and I got placed next to a middle aged man. Thanks to my luck he looked like he could kill me.

"Hey bud, how ya doin?" I decided not to answer the man.

Silence…

"Buddy?" He then started tapping on my shoulder to get my attention. "Aaah?!" I tried to sound surprised and caught off guard. "Woah there. I didn't mean to scare you." I scanned his face to make sure he was being genuine and not faking to get a hold and kidnap me. I still didn't answer him so he continued talking. "Well since you're basically mute, I'm going to see my girlfriend and hopefully she's real. I've only seen her on FaceTime through some dating app." He paused when the flight attendant stopped by to make sure no trouble was going on, due to my cry for help.

" So why are you going to Florida alone? You look to be pretty young to be here by yourself. " I looked down, not knowing how to answer. "I'm going here to see my uh… cru-best friend!" He laughed at me. "Who's this chick you got love for?" "It's actually not a girl." Now this was his turn to look surprised. "It's fine you're into dudes, but why a Florida dude." "Why a Florida girl?" There was once again an awkward silence. "He's actually from Colorado, he just had to move." "Ohh that's better I guess. My girl is going to  be wayyy better than your man."

Does this man think romantic feelings are a competition?

"Mines smarter." I challenged him. "Fine then.When we get to the landing I'll meet your man and you'll meet my girl." "Actually I'm not dating him. He said he had feelings for me, but sometimes places change people so he probably has a bunch of hoes right now." "So why are you coming here if he doesn't care? He must care a lot."
I never thought of it that way. I mean my mom and his mom planned the trip, so maybe he did miss me?

"Thank you sir." He smiled at me and patted my shoulder. "No problem bud, but know that people care for you even if it doesn't seem that way." My eyes started to tear up, I quickly wiped them with my sleeve. "We are about to land and hang on tight." I gripped my hands on the handles of the seat.

After we landed the guy I sat next to helped me navigate to the baggage claim. Even though Craig and his mom were supposed to meet at the gate, they decided I was smart enough to meet them near baggage claim.

"Time to meet your man." A slight blush appeared on my face. "Where's your girl?" "Sam! Babe I missed you so much!" A girl with longish red hair came running up to him and started kissing him all over. "Get a room." I picked up my bag and waited for Craig to get over here. "Tweek." I looked behind me to see a tall boy with black hair carrying a Harbucks coffee. He traded my bag for coffee. "So your name's Tweek then, your parents must be insane." I rolled my eyes at Sam. "That's your girl?" He smiled "That's your guy?" We both started laughing while the other two were confused. "He looks like a two-faced asshole. I thought you'd be into the manly shit, since you look like a bottom." "I'm literally a 15 Year old kid. I don't know that about myself." "So how am I your man?" Craig asked. "Uh nothing." I walked over to Sam and gave him a hug. "Thanks man, I probably won't ever see you again, but you're a cool dude." "And you are also cool being a gay dude that looks like a twink in Colorado." He laughed. Craig and I flipped him off and he stared in awe. "I thought you weren't inappropriate." "I thought you weren't a dick." "I'm not the one sucking dick." "He reminds me of Kenny." I looked back at Craig and nodded. "Mom's waiting for us, we need to get back." I grabbed his other hand and we walked out to his car.

I felt safer with Craig like I didn't have to prove myself to him or anyone.
