PART 2
Craig walked into the school the next day, anxious but excited to see Tweek. He scanned the halls until he spotted his spiky-haired friend at his locker. Tweek was rummaging through his backpack, and his face lit up when he saw Craig.
"Hey, Craig!" Tweek said, grinning. "What's up?"
Craig smiled back, relieved that Tweek still seemed to be on good terms with him. "Not much," he said. "Just wanted to say hi."
Craig pulled out a bag of coffee beans and clutched it tightly in his hands. "I'm sorry about last night," Tweek said, looking down. "I didn't mean to freak out like that."
Craig shrugged. "It's fine. I could tell something was bothering you."
Tweek glanced up, his eyes wide. "Really? You could tell?"
Craig nodded. "Yeah, I know you pretty well by now. And I want you to know that you can talk to me about anything, okay?"
Tweek's shoulders sagged with relief. "Thanks, Craig. That means a lot."
The two of them stood there for a moment, smiling at each other, until Craig remembered the bag in his hands. "Oh, hey! I got you something."He held out the bag of coffee beans. "I know you like it black, but I got this one that's supposed to be really smooth and rich."
Tweek took the bag and grinned. "Thanks, Craig. That's really cool of you."
Tweek tugged nervously on his shirt collar. "Um, so, speaking of last night...does that mean you still want to be my boyfriend?"
Craig's heart skipped a beat. "Of course I do," he said, taking a step closer to Tweek. "I really like you, Tweek. And I don't want anything to come between us."
Tweek smiled, his eyes sparkling with happiness. "Me neither, Craig. I just...I get really nervous sometimes, you know? Especially when things start to get serious."
Craig reached out and took Tweek's hand, rubbing his thumb gently over the back of it. "I understand," he said softly. "But we can take things at whatever pace makes you comfortable. I'm here for you, Tweek. Always."
Tweek leaned in, and Craig met him halfway, their lips meeting in a soft, tender kiss. It was brief but sweet, filled with a promise of all the love and care they would share in the journey ahead.
