Purgatory (Butters X Kenny)

Chapter 13

Craig appeared behind Tweek his hand on his shoulder. He was distraught Tweek could see in his eyes. "It's ok Craig. It's ACK! It's decaf!" Craig sighed "Ok"and kissed him on the forehead before returning to his table.

Kenny grimaced at the black coffee. The Tweaks had stopped putting meth in their signature blend when and investigation had started on the shop. He shrugged and took a sip of the warm dark liquid. It tasted better now but he still preferred cream and sugar.

Tweek must have noticed the distaste on Kenny's face because there was cream and sugar already sitting on the table. Kenny sighed mixing up his beverage to his liking. He looked at Tweeks smiling face. Even being a nervous wreck himself he seemed to reassure those around him.

"So about Butters...." Kenny started but trailed off afraid he would start to cry again. He looked down at the swirling liquid in his mug and sighed. "I just miss him so much Tweek." He cried out. Tweek patted his hand. "I know. He was a great GAH! He was a great guy." Tweek was one of the only people in town Butters trusted with his secret. He helped him with the relationship especially seeing as they had to hide it from his family.

"I've been seeing Butters. I think I'm hearing his voice. Tweek I... I don't know what to do I think I'm going crazy!" He ran his hand through his hair only to collapse his head into his elbow. "Don't worry Ken Tweek will understand" the whisper promised him. He knows how it feels to hear things that aren't there. Tweek thought for a long time. At least it seemed like forever to Kenny.

"How exactly is he ACK! Contacting you?" Kenny thought about whether he should tell him about his visits. He decided maybe just deal with the whispers for now. He sighed "it's like whispers. Sometimes its comforting sometimes it's just answers to things I've said out loud." Tweek furrowed his brows in thought. "Are you sure it's not GAH! Something.... Something else?!"

Kenny thought for a minute. The siren song dancing around his head. "Tell Tweek I miss him too." Kenny smirked. He says he misses you too. Tweek shot up "GAH! HES TALKING RIGHT NOW!?" He looked around panicked. Craig came back over putting his arm around Tweek who was shaking violently. "Babe it's ok." His monotone voice seemed to break through Tweeks panic. He visibly relaxed. Craig turned to Kenny "You need to go. Now!" He said sternly.

Tweek shook his head. "No Craig. It's fine. Just GAH! Maybe you should join us." He pointed down to another chair which Craig begrudgingly sat in. He kept his arm around Tweek and watched Kenny intensely. Kenny just sighed never lifting his head from the table. "Maybe it's GAH! Maybe it's a good thing?" Tweek sputtered out to him.

Kenny paused. In thought maybe it wasn't driving him crazy. Maybe it was nice having that soft voice trailing around. He didn't care he just wanted to see Butters again. He sat back up and drank some of the coffee. With a heavy sigh. The warm bitter liquid brought him little comfort. "Tell him" the voice trailed on. "Damn!" Kenny rolled his eyes. Before exclaiming "Fine! Butters I will tell him!"

He sat there with Tweek for twenty minutes briefly explaining the situation. Why Butters was upset with him. All of it. Tweek looked at him with wide eyes and Craig just kept the same emotionless expression. "Butters...." Tweek sighed. "Butters wouldn't kill himself."
Kenny raised an eyebrow. Urging Tweek to continue. "I know GAH! I know what it looked like but..... He had a plan he told me what he was going to do. It was ACK it was an accident!"
