Stan Marsh Vs The World

Chapter 7

It started off such a calm night.

Stan and Kyle had went out, just the two of them, to the club to just drink and chill.

But of course, the Evil Exes Club would have something else in mind for them.

Especially for Stan.

"Hey, Marsh!" a voice called from behind him.

This was the night when Stan met the first of the two boys Kyle had dated before him.

Ex number 4 was Craig Tucker.

"You dated him? Y-you dated a guy?"

Kyle gave him a look that screamed 'wtf is wrong with you'. "You know I realised I was bisexual years ago? And that was by making out with boys too, specifically that one. But he was in love with another boy and I wasn't interested in anything serious."

Craig stormed over. "Well, you know all of us are coming for him, me included. Now Marsh, prepare to have your face rearranged."

But his fist was caught just inches from Stan's face by Kyle.

"Try that again and I'll break that hand," he warned.

"You know he has to beat us with his own fists! You can't fight his battles for him!" Craig yelled.

Kyle got behind Stan and took his arms. "Watch me, motherf***er!"

It was Stan Vs Craig with support from Kyle, expertly blocking attacks and dealing some pretty good ones of their own.

But it wasn't long before Craig demonstrated his power, disappearing and reappearing between the two as he forced them to separate.

Kyle and Stan were on different sides of the floor with Craig between them, staring down at Stan.

"Avoid this, Marsh!"

His foot was coming down...

"The back of the knee, Stan! It's his weak point!" Kyle yelled.

Stan would have probably asked how he knew that if he wasn't busy trying not to die.

As well as driving his fist into the back of Craig's knee, causing him to go down.

Ex number 4 was defeated.

...

Stan ended up at the bar after, planning to drink away his feelings.

He felt angry, kind of betrayed for whatever reason.

Kyle came to sit next to him anyway. "I never said I only dated girls in the past, okay? You made that assumption, and I did correct you, but I'm sorry for not trying harder."

"...you're the first boy I've ever dated."

"Ohhh...right, now your attitude makes sense. I don't get it, Stan, it's not a big deal."

"It's a big deal to me, okay? I-I haven't had as many relationships as you, Kyle."

"Yeah, and that doesn't matter to me if it doesn't matter to you."

"Well maybe it does matter to me!"

Kyle scoffed. "Really? So not when you dated 3 of my ex girlfriends but it's my first boyfriend that sets you off? Are you serious?"

Stan didn't say anything.

"Come on, Stan-"

"How did you end up dating that many people anyway?"

He sighed. "They're spread throughout my life, okay? Heidi and I were a two week thing at age 10, and my last ex was Wendy and I ended that a year ago. I didn't date them one after another if that's what you're getting at, I'm not that kind of person."

"Really? Because you kind of give off that impression even with that explanation."

Kyle stood up. "Wow, and now I understand why Red told me you can be kinda sh*tty when someone is with you long enough. So, is this it? Are we done?"

Stan took a drink. "Looks like it, doesn't it? So you can move on to your newest thing?"

"...fine, whatever. I really thought you were good, Stan."

And Kyle left him there.

Stan was now single and alone again.
