Cartman had no idea how he got here. He wanted to ruin Kyle's life...but now he found himself cuddling him tightly on some grass.

As they sat together in the quiet stillness, Cartman's mind raced with confusion. He couldn't understand why he felt this way, why he couldn't bring himself to carry out his plan to hurt Kyle. But as he held Kyle close, feeling the warmth of his hug, Cartman realized that perhaps there was something deeper within him, something he had been denying for far too long.

"Kyle...I...I think there's something I need to tell you," Cartman said, his voice trembling with uncertainty.

"What is it, Eric?" Kyle asked, concern.

"I...I think I might...I might love you," Cartman admitted.

"I know, Eric...we're dating..." Kyle replied.

"No, you don't get it....I LOVE you...." Cartman says again, "I...Kyle, I tried to hurt you...I caused everything these past weeks, just to hurt, but I can't do it....I can't finish....I love you so god damn much..."

Kyle's eyes widened in shock as Cartman's confession sank in. The weight of Cartman's words hung heavy in the air, the revelation sending a shiver down Kyle's spine.

"Eric...I...I don't know what to say," Kyle stammered.

Cartman's heart raced as he waited anxiously for Kyle's response. He had spent so long hiding behind a façade of cruelty, using his words as weapons to lash out and hurt those around him. But now, faced with the reality of his feelings for Kyle, Cartman found himself trembling with fear and uncertainty.

"I know it's...it's messed up," Cartman said, his voice tinged with self-loathing. "But I can't deny it anymore. I care about you, Kyle. More than I ever thought possible."

Kyle reached out and gently cupped Cartman's face in his hands, his touch soft and reassuring. "Eric...I never knew..." Kyle trailed off, his voice filled with a mix of confusion and sadness. "Why would you do all those things if you...if you loved me?"

Cartman sighed, "I don't know...I don't know..."

Kyle is silent, "Cartman...I can't believe you."

"Please...I don't expect a second chance but...I'm sorry..." Cartman couldn't believe the words coming out of his mouth. Under any other scenario, this would multiplication, but this time, it's genuine.

Kyle felt tears in his eyes, "I can't believe you...I thought you could change...I thought...I could love you...that you could love me...why the sudden change...you went this far."

"I don't know....every time we kissed I...felt safe, warm....but I didn't want to admit it....but then....I saw you this time and....I couldn't deny it anymore..." Cartman explains, "It doesn't excuse anything but...."

Kyle hugged Cartman tightly, "Cartman....is this....lies?"

Cartman shakes his head, "No...no it's not..."

"Prove it. Prove it to me!" Kyle yells.

Cartman is silent as he thinks, "I....I don't know....I can kiss you...I can hold you....I can....I can beg..."

"Cartman...when we go home...I need you to reveal...everything. Tell everyone, everything." Kyle says.

Cartman nods immediately, "Yes! Yes! I promise!"

"And I need you to throw away everything racist. Like the costumes."

"What- oh come on!"

"Cartman!"

"Fine! Fine! I promise...."

"Ok....good." Kyle kisses Cartman's forehead, "Now...talking about going home...how do we get home?" Kyle asks.

Cartman's eyes widen, "Shit."
