"In denial.."

TWs: Swearing?

Stan's POV:

I arrived at the usual bus stop, I spotted Kenny and Kyle, talking there. They both looked scared and anxious... Is something wrong?..

"Hey Kenny, Hey Ky!" I smiled warmly at them, "Is... Everything okay?" I asked, concerned as I look at Kyle. He looks.. pale. Kenny stared at me nervously, why aren't they answering?! "What's wrong?.. Is Kyle sic-"

"Everything's fine!" Kenny interrupted me. My ears perked up at the tone of his voice, it sounded nervous.. I swear I heard a hint of denial in his voice.. My gaze fell to Kyle, he looks like he's about to pass out. I glance at the both of them worriedly.

"Are you sure?.." I asked, unconvinced. "Y-yeah, everything's okay.." Kyle said, rather weakly. I raise an eyebrow.

"You don't look very well, Kyle.." I said really concerned, I pat gently on his back. "I'm fine, Stan." He said, smiling softly at me. I noticed that Kenny was staring daggers at Kyle, almost like trying to warn him..

"I'm here for you, alright?" I said, "I'm your SBF, you know you can trust me.." I smiled gently at him, he smiled back, but there was a glint of anxiousness in his eyes..

That's.. Strange, I know whenever Kyle's hiding something for me, he's my SBF! I've been friends with him for more than 5 years! Of course I'll know if something is troubling him. Is it Fatass? Is he making fun of him again?

Was it because I cancelled the night out with him last night that we've been planning out for weeks just for Wendy? Is he mad at me?

My stomach filled with guilt, of course he's mad at me! I cancelled the night-out that we've been planning for weeks just to please Wendy! I need to make it up to him!..

But what if he says "It's fine."?

I've known Kyle since forever and I know he'll push away his feelings just to make everyone happy, even for Cartman! He's too nice for his own good sometimes.. I don't want him to neglect his mental and physical health for me!

I care about him.. a lot.

As a friend obviously, I'm with Wendy.

I'm not gay.

But why does my heart ache so much for Kyle?

He's just a friend, isn't he?

"Stan?"

I snapped out of my train of thoughts, Kenny was pointing at the school bus that was slowly approaching the bus stop while Kyle and Cartman was bickering in the background as usual.

But I noticed Kyle isn't as agitated as before, he looks more... annoyed and tired.

"The bus is here, let's go." Kenny said, I nodded. "Kyle? Let's go, dude! The bus is here." I said, grabbing his shoulder, Kyle froze and Kenny looked anxious. Cartman simply rolled his eyes.

Did I say something wrong?
