Craig is extremely suspicious of his best friend Clyde. He's been acting really weird all week, especially around his new 'best friend' Scott Malkinson. They've spent sooo much time together, and even around their other friends they pretend like it's just them two.

"...I'm getting pretty sick of it." he grumbles.

Tweek smiles at him reassuringly, "It's okay, soon enough the novelty will wear off. Then he'll be back to the same old Clyde."

"Doubt it." Craig rolls his eyes.

He doesn't bother elaborating, he's pretty certain his thoughts can telepathically transfer to Tweek anyway.

He tugs at the strings on his hat, staring at the fluorescent lights on the ceiling. They're kind of ugly. He looks at Tweek. Tweek looks at him.

"You just gotta chill out about it." he advises.

Craig scoffs, "Bit hypocritical, Tweek telling me to chill out."

"Shut up, dude." Tweek glares at him. Craig can't take him seriously, especially when he breaks into a silly smile. He squeezes his hand as they walk.

Craig uses the silence as more time to think about Clyde, but only in his head instead of out loud. To really test that telepathy theory, y'know?

Like, where even is he now? Usually they'd walk to class together at the start of school, but he's nowhere to be found. Obviously it wouldn't be hard to go looking for him, but he wouldn't want to interrupt him and Scott's quality time together. As long as Clyde isn't late again or whatever.

And then he sees the two of them, as they turn a corner, walking ahead of them and holding hands too. He raises his eyebrows.

"You think they're actually dating?" he nudges Tweek's arm.

He shrugs, "I dunno. Why don't you just ask him?"

"Yeah, later." he says, walking a little faster. Tweek groans, but speeds up anyway. They pass Clyde and Scott.

Clyde waves as they do, "Hey guys."

"Hey Clyde!" Tweek waves back, "Hey Scott!"

"Hey." Craig says. He watches Scott shoot Clyde a nervous glance, notices how he squeezes his hand.

He waits until they're out of earshot, then hisses to Tweek, "If they aren't fucking dating we gotta try harder to set them up."

"We?! I'll only help you if it's totally legal, Craig."

"Yeah, yeah."

–

Craig catches Scott just after class ends. He corners him by some lockers and stares him squarely in the eye so he can't just walk away.

"So. Remember how last week you said you liked Clyde and stuff?"

Scott swallows, eyes darting to the ground. He (somehow) manages to squeak out a small, "Yeah?"

"And you said you'd finally confess to him."

He smiles, just barely but Craig catches it, "I did say that."

Craig frowns, "And did you?"

"No." he makes eye contact before swiftly looking elsewhere.

He shakes his head, "Ok, listen. Clyde totally likes you, and he's planning to confess to you after school tomorrow."
