Creek - a new beginning

Call

Tweek is sitting in his room on Monday morning. He didn't make any plans for thanksgiving break so he doesn't know what to do.

He gets out his phone to text Craig.

Tweek: Craig? how are you feeling?

Craig: I feel fine, I keep getting headaches but other than that I'm in peak health.

Tweek: That's good! I was worried <3

Craig: Do you want to hang out today? I'm bored.

Tweek: About that, my parents don't want me to hang out with you for a little while.

Craig: Why? My parents said something similar. Just ignore them.

Tweek: They are worried because I was around you when you passed out, they said it was probably my fault :(

Craig: That's bullshit, how would it be your fault?

Tweek: I dunno, they said maybe something in the coffee triggered a reaction with meth that was in your system, but I don't believe that you had any in your system to begin with.

Craig: They are stupid. Ignore them and come out with me.

Tweek: I can't.

Craig: Why?

Tweek: They said they will kick me out of the house if I go with you...

Craig: That's super manipulative.

Tweek: I know, but I need a place to live so my hands are tied.

Craig: How about we call later then? At bedtime, when everyone is asleep. We can just talk.

Tweek: That would be lovely. I'll call you around 10 pm.

Craig: That works, I'll talk to you then.

Tweek: okay. 

Tweek puts down his phone and sighs. He doesn't know what to do until nighttime. 

He decides to do research on Craig's situation.

He can't find anything specific enough to fit the situation, so he goes on a Q and A website and posts a question.

FireBun24: Can caffeine affect the negative effects of meth? My boyfriend recently had a hospital visit because he overdosed on meth. The problem is he wasn't acting strange until after he started drinking the strong coffee my parents make. I don't believe he does meth, but maybe he picked something up in some food he bought in public or something. I just want to know if the coffee could've made him pass out if he had anything in his system. All answers are appreciated!

Tweek powers off his computer. He had only been able to kill 30 minutes of time. He decides to just sleep for now.

Tweek is woken up for lunch. He powers through his boring day until his parents finally go to sleep.

He checks the clock. 9:30, he still had 30 minutes. He decides to lie in bed and stare at his phone while he waits.

As soon as the clock hits 10 Tweek calls Craig, who answers immediately

"Hi, Tweek."

"Craig! You picked up fast."

"I was waiting by my phone for your call."

Tweek blushes.

"I was waiting by my phone for it to be 10, I was excited all day. Funny since it's just a phone call."

"I was the same. How was your day, bunny?"

"Really boring, I hadn't made any plans for the break. I slept and ate. Oh! I also did some research on your situation."

"Did you find anything interesting?"

"No, I couldn't find a straight answer so I submitted a question on a Q&A website. Now I just wait for an answer."

"Well, it's something. Thanks for looking out for me. You're probably the most caring person I know. When we live together I'll make sure to get sick so you can be my personal nurse."

"WHEN we live together??"

"Did you not want to?"

"Of course, I want to!! That just seems like such an adult thing. I've never thought of living anywhere else before."

"We could have a cabin out in the Rockies. A couple of guinea pigs, or a small dog, like a chihuahua or something."

"Why a chihuahua? Those things are super manic all the time aren't they?"

"I can think of someone else who fits that description."

"Oh, shut up! I'm way calmer than a chihuahua!"

"Whatever you say, puppy."

"I'm not a puppy!"

"Okay, you're right. You arent a puppy. You're a bunny."

Tweek rolls his eyes and smiles at his phone. He felt like they were right next to each other having a normal conversation, he wished Craig was next to him.

"Tweek?"

"Yea?"

"What are you wearing right now?"
