Too much pressure (A creek love story)

What if?

Tweek's POV:

"Tweek?"
"Y-yes?"
"M-May I t-tell you something?"
"S-Su-Sure!! What is it?" I stuttered out, curiously looking at Craig. Yet he wasn't looking at me. He was staring at the stars above. The thing I knew made him feel complete.
But I knew from the way he shifted his body, he was nervous or uncomfortable for some reason. OH GOD! I DID SOMETHING WRONG!! OH NO, OH NO, OH NO! I started gripping onto the blankets. Hoping it'd give some relief.

"It's really serious. But you did nothing wrong so stop worrying so much." He said, giving me a glance before awkwardly staring back at the night sky. I nodded and muttered an 'ok' to show I understood.
I was curious. So so very curious. What was Craig going to say? What was so serious?

"6th grade. In 6th grade... stripe #4 died. I came to school, sad and hardly able to do anything. But your presence helped me by the ton. I couldn't even talk to Clyde or Tolkien until I had saw you."
"I'm gl-glad I comforted you!"
"You did. That weekend we stayed at your house. You confronted me about me acting off lately. I... told you stripe died and you hugged me tightly. You held me close and let me cry in your arms."
"I'd al-always allow y-you to cry in m-my arms!"

"That night... Tweek. That night is the reason I need to tell you this."
"T-tell me wh-what?"
"Tweek Tweak. You're... like a star. You shine bright and beautiful. You may have your dark moments but you glow! Even if there was a room full of thousands of people, I could catch you because of how unique and special you are."

"Th-thank y-you!"
"Tweek. I love stars."
"I kn-know you do?"
"No, Tweek... I love the stars and you're my star!"
"You lo-love me?"
"YES!"
"I love y-you t-too!"
"You do?"
"Yeah. How cou-could I n-not love m-my bes-best fr-friend?" I said trying to be cool as possible but my heart tore while saying that. But i knew he didn't love me the same I did.
In that moment though, I think I saw a little bit of Craig break.

"Tweek."
"Y-yes?"
"I don't... mean friend wise."
"Wh-what?"
"I love you. More than a friend."
"W-wait. What??"

"I'm into you. Romantically."
"O-oh. Um."
"If you don't like me back I understand."
"N-NO!"
"What?"

"I'M IN-INTO YOU!"
"You are?"
"YES!"
"Are you sure you aren't just saying that?"
"Y-YES I AM S-SURE!!"
"Ok, ok."

I looked up at him and hugged him tightly. I felt him hug back which made me smile.
I can't believe he liked me back. What if this is all a lie though? A prank? What if he said it because he figured out I like him?? What if he's gonna use me? OH NO! OH GOD! I'M GONNA DIE!!

"Calm down. We're going back to my house."
"Wh-what?"
"You're shaking and I'm tired. I know you're stressed. Don't worry, I'm not using you for some government scheme or something." He said, softly chuckling to himself.

I smiled softly as we both hopped off the inflatable bed. Which Craig had all the air come out before throwing it into the back seats again.
I was about to put the blankets in the back before Craig stopped me, taking them. I shrugged and went to sit in my seat.

Getting in my seat, I waited for Craig to come back into the car. I softly kicked my legs as I saw Craig putting the bed up and hopping in the car. He tossed all but one blanket to the back, giving me the one blanket.

"Th-thank... thank you!"
"Yeah. Just making sure you don't catch a cold."
"You're ama-amazing!"
"Thanks. You're the best." He said with a soft smile, I blushed and looked away trying to not giggle out of happiness.

I was so happy right now. Maybe I could get Craig to be my boyfriend!! MAYBE WE COULD BE LIKE... THE CUTEST SOUTH PARK COUPLE!
But... but Craig's dad... he's homophobic. What if he makes me and Craig lose contact? What if I never see Craig again??
WHAT IF MY PARENTS ARE HOMOPHOBIC?? WE'VE NEVER TALKED ABOUT IT BEFOFE! AGHHHH!

"Tweek. I can't start driving unless you calm down."
"O-oh. I'm so-sorry Craig."
"It's ok. Don't worry my dad's not gonna screw us over."
"But wh-what if?"
"Your parents aren't either."
"But what i-if?"
"Cartman is gonna keep his mouth shut if he wants to live."
"B-But what if??"
"Clyde and Tolkien are 100% supporters."

"But... but wh-what if?"
"What if what, Tweek?"
"What if yo-you don't l-love me?"
"What?"
"Wh-what if you fall... fall out of l-love a-and... AND DON'T T-TELL ME LEA-LEADING OUR RELA-RELATIONSHIP TO GO D-DOWNHILL!"

"Tweek."
"WHAT?"
"I've been in love with you since 6th grade. What grade are we in now?"
"E-Eleventh. Jun-Junior year."
"That's right. I've loved you for YEARS. I don't think I'm suddenly just gonna lose feelings." I nodded at Craig, trying to calm myself down. I looked at the ground in a sort of punishment for myself. But, I felt my head being lifted.

I looked up, confused. Craig had one hand on my chin, holding my head in place and the other was softly petting my hair.
I let myself relax in his arms, I wore a soft smile as he did that for a few minutes. Before he let go, letting me go back into my original sitting position.
Craig turned the car on and started to back out to take us back to his house. I turned on some music, looking at Craig and smiling. He smiled back softly and I could feel my heart swell a bit. Holy shit. This guy is in love with me!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm gonna be honest. I was gonna make Craig give up, thinking he took the signs wrong when Tweek thought he meant friend love.
But I didn't have motivation to write for so long and honestly I thought it was kinda a dick-move to do that after making you wait so long lol.

So have what y'all probably have been wanting!! A CONFESSION!
