Match made..•Main Ship: Stenny•

Ch 5.

Kyle lead Kenny through the forest behind the little old school house, vines covered their path. Kenny and Kyle walked in silence, Until Kenny tripped and fell getting caught in veins. Kenny tried praying them off his leg but ended up failing, "Here let me help.." Kyle bent down, took a pocket knife out of his utility belt, and then slowly cut the vines off Kenny's leg. "T-Thanks.." Kenny's voice was soft and gentle as he looked up at Kyle, Kyle then nodded and put his knife away. The two then sat in silence, Kyle kept looking at his watch while Kenny stared off at the surroundings trees. Kenny took a small breath before he spoke, "Hey..Uhm..Why did we have to leave that fast..?" Kyle looked up at Kenny, "Uhm..I can't tell you that..I would rather SM tell you.." Kyle then stood up and reached out his hand, he then quickly looked up at the giant clock that stood near town squares law offices, "Shit..We gotta hurry and get you back to the harvesting.." Kenny took a deep breath before Kyle grabbed him by his hand and jolted through a path in the forest. Before Kenny knew it they were at the gate of the next section of the Harvesting, Kyle let go of Kenny's hand and then looked at him. "I'll send SM your location..so when he arrives he can meet you.." Kenny nodded before Kyle type coordinations into his watch and then looked up at Kenny, "Be careful.." Kyle then ran off into the distance, Kenny turned around and started to make his way through the crowd. After a few seconds he found Craig and Tweek looking at a jewelry stand, "Tweek, look at this..It's emerald shards in the shape of a heart.." Craig said softly as he pointed to a little heart pendant, Kenny approached the two. "Hey guys.." Kenny said as Tweek and Craig both looked over at him. "Oh hey Ken..Where have you been for the last hour..?" Craig said in his usual monotonesd voice, "No where important.." Kenny then rubbed the back of his neck lightly, "So, what's going on now..?" Kenny asked softly as he turned his gaze to a different area, "They're g-getting ready for the M- M-ACK!-tching.." Kenny looked at Tweek. "Are you joking!?" Craig shrugged as Tweek shook his head, "Fuck my life.." Kenny grumbled under his breath as he looked at the opening gates of the arena, "We'll it looks like they're ready.." Kenny pointed out as he slowly pointed to the opened gates, Tweek and Craig both looked over and then back at Kenny. "Wish you luck Ken..You're name is going in the drawling this year.." Craig said as he took Tweeks hand in his and then slowly started to head off towards the Arena, Kenny followed closely behind them. Once the three were in the arena they found a seat in the middle, Kenny slouched as he closed his eyes and begged that his name wouldn't be called today..This tradition was only once a year but Kenny couldn't take the thought of being matched with anyone. As the sound of people's low whispers filled the arena Kenny felt a light tap on his shoulder, he sighed and then opened on of his eyes. He looked over to his right side and saw Stan only this time he wasn't wearing his black cloak, there was a scar across his left eye. Kenny sat up instantly sat up and reached over to Stan's left eye, "What happened?!" Kenny's voice dripped with concern as his hand got covered by blood, Stan rubbed the back of his neck before speaking softly trying to reassure Kenny. "It's nothing..I just ran into a little issue on the way back here.." Kenny then looked down at his hand that was covered in Stan's blood, "Come on..We gotta get this cleaned up before it gets infected.." Kenny said softly before gently taking Stan's hand in his and leading him out of the Arena's bleachers, to the bathroom. Once inside Kenny took some paper towels and soaked them in warm water before gently pressing them against the fresh wound on Stan's left eye, Stan let out a groan from the feeling of the paper towels pressing up against his eye. "I'm sorry if this hurts..but I really don't want the wound to get infected..and this is the best I can do at the moment.." Kenny said softly as he looked at the blood soaked paper towels he held against Stan's eye, Stan shrugged as he just turned his gaze down to the counter that the sinks were connected too, "It's cool..Don't worry about it.." Stan said before looking back up at Kenny. "We should probably get back, they're supposed to be starting the Matching soon.." Kenny nodded as he threw the paper towels away, "Lead the way.." Kenny said softly as Stan led him out of the bathroom, once they found the seats next to Tweek and Craig once again Kenny scooted in next to Tweek letting Stan take the outer edge of the seat. "Hey, Stan.." Kenny said softly as he looked up at Stan, "Hmm?" Kenny then took a deep breath before turning his gaze to the arena's stage, "Why did you have me leave so fast..?" Stan then looked at Kenny before sighing softly. "I'll explain in private but for now lets focus on whats ahead of us.." Kenny bit the inside of his mouth before nodding slightly, "Alright.." Soon the crowd started to cheer as the lights shut off in the arena, soon a spot light was brought up to the board leader of their world, "Good evening, Division 66! Welcome to this years Matching! Today there's some new special faces that have been put in the drawings! This year we're having 5 different pairs! Is everyone pumped!" The crowds all started to cheer as, people screamed loudly and others chanted. Kenny groaned as he rolled his eyes, he hated the Matching portion of the Harvesting mostly because It's just some world guide lines of 'who ever gets your name you'll be stuck with for the rest of your life..' type of bullshit. Kenny grumbled under his breath as the board leader announced the first four matches, "Alright everyone! Time for our final but most exciting Match of this years harvesting! Is everyone ready!" The crowd all went wild as Kenny looked over at Stan, Stan looked back and gave Kenny a light smile before the yelling, cheering, and chanting died down. "Alright, first person!" Kenny leaned forward in his seat a little scared of who it'll be, he was really crossing his fingers that it wouldn't be him. "Sector 2's 17 year old, Stanley Marsh!" Kenny looked over at Stan as Stan's eye's widened, "and his match for this evening..Belongs too..A kid in Sector 5 probably one of the fresh new 16 year old! Kenneth McCor-" Stan then looked over at Kenny as his eye's widened, 'This can't be true..right?' Kenny thought to himself as he looked over at Stan, the sounds in the arena seemed to black out as Stan and Kenny stared at one another, 'Stan's my match..?'
