The next morning, you and Tweek were at the coffee shop. The both of you being the iconic cousin duo when it came down to serving coffee. 

You both didn't dare talk about the events that happened last night, you truly didn't know how to feel about it. The boys were watching you guys from the basement window, that was absolutely a fact. However, nobody was given the chance to explain themselves. Even if so... you weren't sure if it was justified sneaking around and listening to your conversations. Lola had also made a point, what if you guys were changing?

Even though you didn't know the intentions, you still felt bad for the situation, wishing that the feuding would stop. It was always tense, and the girls couldn't go without giving a dirty look at any of the baseball players at the moment. It felt like you were almost stuck in the middle, wanting to support both sides, but knowing that choosing just one side wouldn't make things better. There had to be a way to make this better.

Breaking the silence, your cousin looked over at you. "So... you and Kyle, h-huh?" He twitched slightly, knowing that this probably was the last thing you wanted to talk about.

"Who starts a conversation like that?" You sighed, turning your body in Tweek's direction, placing the cleaning towel beside you on the counter. "You guys were there watching, why else would Craig have gotten pissed at Kyle? I'm not sure why you're asking me."

Tweek looked to his side, and scratched the side of his arm slightly as he had no idea how to answer you. "A lot of that stuff is private, and... I can understand why the girls would be mad at you guys for sticking around and listening. How do you think it feels knowing that my sex life is out to all the guys we're closest to?"

"W-we didn't know GAH-! You know the recent attacks on the g-girls, and having WHAH-! Having you all in the same p-place?" Tweek asked, getting a bit nervous as he spoke, clearly fidgeting with his hands a bit more, and shakily looking in your direction. "Nobody wanted to sp-spy!"

"I believe you, I really do." You started off, leaning against the counter beside you, and looking to your side. "But... I didn't want people knowing that." You sighed to yourself, not making eye contact with your Cousin. "I definitely would've expected one of you guys to talk some sense into the other boys."

Tweek looked over, seeing that Craig was standing there with Clyde and Tolkien, they must've somehow made their way inside the store without altering you guys. Or, you two were just so deep in conversation that you didn't realize that you had the trio of boys on the other side of the counter. You turned around to see what Tweek was looking at, and made eye contact with Craig.

"You're still pissed." Craig mentioned, shoving his hands in his pockets and looking at you with the same inexpressive face. He exhaled dramatically, and rolled his eyes at you. "I don't know what you're pissed about, we were just trying to make sure no bad guys were around."

"So you should've looked around the outside of the house, not peek through the goddamn window and listen to our conversations." You spoke through gritted teeth, feeling your brows furrow at his presence. "Then you try to kick Kyle's ass, I don't know what your problem is!"

"Look, maybe I got a little over-protective, but that shit happens." Craig shrugged, and kept his eyes on you.

"That shit doesn't just happen, Craig. How am I going to have a love life when you want to beat up the guys I'm getting close to?" You frowned slightly, and shook your head. "What happens if that scares them off?"

Craig for once, was standing there, silent. He reached up and rubbed a hand against the back of his neck, and inhaled deeply. "Okay, fine." He responded. "I'll give him more slack. If you're really serious about him."
