Age- 15
"So Tweek, or Stripe?" Clyde knew the 'perfect' question to ask Craig. How was he supposed to choose between his beloved guinea pig and his lovely boyfriend?! Tweek looked at him expectantly, yet also like he knew the answer already. The silence was all he needed to make a guess, he chose Stripe didn't he..? Tweek stopped looking at him, and looked down at the floor instead, his light smile faded and he was fidgeting with the blanket they were sitting on. Clyde looked shocked, yet he had this annoying grin plastered on his face. "Tweek-" He put his hand on Tweek's. Tweek pulled his hand away and stood up, leaving looking very upset and hurt. "Oh Craig! A pet over the mister?" Clyde said with his sly grin. Tolkien hit him in the back of the head with a stick. "OW! What was that for!"
"Come on that wasn't cool, you shouldn't make Craig choose like that" Craig glared at Clyde before standing up and following after Tweek. He didn't know exactly where he went but he had a pretty good idea, considering he had left his coffee. Craig walked along the snow dusted sidewalk until he reached Tweak bros. He went inside and looked around, he didn't find Tweek, there was only a few people sitting at a table and someone taking table orders.
'Okay then, he's got to be at his house' Craig turned out the door and left to go to Tweek's house. After walking for a bit, he finally got there and knocked on the door, Tweek's father opened it.
"Hey Craig, can I help you?" Tweek's father looked at Craig who was standing on the steps.
"Yeah, I just need to talk to Tweek" He tried to looked inside, but saw nothing.
"Well he hasn't come home yet, sorry" With that he closed the door and Craig walked to the sidewalk and sat down.
'Then where is he?' He picked up his phone and called Tweek. Tweek heard his phone ring and grabbed it, he saw it was Craig. He declined the call and put his phone away, and continued walking. He noticed someone behind him. After a second a hand was placed on his shoulder.
"GAH! D- don't kill me!!" He jumped to face the person behind him, it was Wendy. "W- Wendy..?" Lurking behind her was Bebe. Wendy laughed a bit.
"I didn't mean to scare you, you looked like you were crying, are you okay?" She sounded concerned, they have always been pretty good friends, him and the rest of the girls at least, sure they were over dramatic, but they were chill most of the time and they were cool to hang out with. Accept for that time they brought him shopping, that was a nightmare. Tweek hadn't realized he was crying, he wiped his face with his arm, and sure enough he was. "You wanna talk about it?"
"Yeah, we were going to Wendy's house anyways, you can tell us about it" Bebe smiles as Wendy began dragging Tweek with them, after a few minutes they made their way into Wendy's room and at in the bed. "So, Tweek, what's wrong?" They both looked at him, awaiting his answer.
"Well- I- we were playing a game and Clyde asks Craig's to choose between me and Stripe.. he never answered and then— then I just left and.." He buried his face in his knees. "But.. why am I getting so upset about it.." He felt himself wanting to cry again.
"What a jerk! If my boyfriend hesitated like that I'd be upset too" Wendy sighed, and took a moment to think. "You should confront him about it!" Wendy said looking at him, Bebe nodded her head in agreement.
"I- isn't that overreacting..?!" He looked at the two girls who looked eager for him to agree.
"I don't think so! It's just a conversation!" Bebe was being more pushy then Wendy was.
"Well— I don't want him to think I hate him!! Be- besides! A confrontation is too much pressure!!" Tweek closed his eyes tightly, listening to the girls try to convince him to just talk to Craig about it. He eventually caved and went back to his house at around 9pm. 'OH MY GOD WHY DID I SAY I WOULD DO THAT?! I CAN'T DO THIS! IT'S WAY, WAY TOO MUCH PRESSURE!!' He buried his face in his pillow and curled up in his bed, every worst case scenario playing through his mind. The next day he kept spilling his coffee and had to make 4 more cups before he even had to leave for school, he went upstairs and changed into his clothes and started walking downstairs when he heard his dad open the door. He stayed on the staircase and listened.
"Hey Craig, you need something?" God why did Craig have to show up?! Tweek stayed on the stairs and sat down.
"Yeah, I'm walking with Tweek to school" Tweek's dad gestured for him to come inside and he did, walking towards the staircase. Tweek let out a small squeak when he saw Craig approach the bottom of the staircase. Craig noticed and began walking towards him. They were face to face at the top of the steps, Tweek was visibly panicking, either by how close they were or because he had to confront Craig about yesterday, either way, Tweek was visibly flustered. Craig stood there, looking slightly concerned.
"JEESUS TOO CLOSE!" He pushed Craig away softly, being careful since they're on the stairs. Tweek stood up and walked into his room, quickly closing the door, sat down on his bed, shakily drinking his coffee, Craig knocked on his door. He didn't wait for an answer before walking into Tweek's room.
"Tell me what's wrong..?" He stood looking down at Tweek, Tweek suddenly looked a mixture between mad and sad.
"Why didn't you answer..? It would have been easier to accept you like Stripe more if you had said I- it! You- you can't just try to 'spare my feelings' like that!!" Craig also looked angry now. He snapped at Tweek.
"Spare your feelings? It was a genuinely hard question! Choosing between two of the people I love the most?! The fact it's making you so mad just shows how insecure you are!" Craig almost instantly regretted that last part, but, it was true though.
"In- insecure?! Of course I am!! You're tall, athletic, smart, beautiful, kind, and most of the people in our class would die if— it meant they could got on a d- date with you!! And I'm just a 'short, jittery spazz' who's lucky enough to date you! I'm constantly worried that you'll leave me for another person, who's smarter and more like you! Who's actually worth your time!!" Tweek stood up angrily, he was so mad, that I got too lazy to add his stutter. Craig got on the defensive.
"Do you think if I didn't like you, I would have put so much time and effort into being with you all the time?! Always having to stop you from freaking out is draining! Even still, I do it because I fucking love you!" They're both completely loosing it, anything they've ever thought about each other is spilling out right now. Eventually Tweek stops it.
"Get out! Get out of my room! Get out of my house! Just get out!" He turned away from Craig to face his bed, Craig left and shut the door behind him, leaving Tweek's house. Tweek regretted everything that just happened, everything the two said, he laid down on his bed and started crying, skipping school today was the least of his worries. After about an hour of crying his text time goes off.
Craig❤️
Craig❤️- We should take a break.
Tweek read those words over and over, but knew that Craig was right, they needed a break. He kept crying into his pillow. Craig sent the text and watched as the check mark, signaling that is was read, appeared. He put his phone down and began crying himself. He didn't want to do that but it was what they needed.
