The Prince and the Robin

chapter 18 - Outstand

3rd POV

Molly: "No fucking way."

Craig heard Molly's hushed and surprised voice coming from the tunnel. He couldn't hear what Tweek and Kimi were saying, but he could tell that something was amiss.

Tweek: "Oh my goodness, was it too much? I am so sorry for saying that to your brother -"

Molly: "No, it was AMAZING!"

Tweek: "What?"

Molly: "You outstand him! You made my brother shut up! Man, if I were you, I would be proud of myself!"

Craig felt a mix of surprise and relief as he listened to Molly's reaction to Tweek's outburst. He had expected Molly to be upset, but instead, she seemed thrilled that Tweek had stood up to her brother.

He couldn't help but smile as he realized that Molly was on Tweek's side and that she was actually admiring him for standing up to Nathan.

Tweek: "You don't care about him?"

Molly: "kinda but like also No! It feels great to finally shut him up for once!"

Craig chuckled silently to himself as he heard Molly's response. He knew that Molly and Nathan had a competitive and sometimes strained relationship, so it was understandable that she would find it satisfying to see him finally silenced.

At the same time, he was impressed by how Tweek had managed to stand up to Nathan and shut him up, even though he was usually quite passive and soft-spoken.

Tweek: "kimi, do you care if I shut him up?"

Kimi: "What, no! I don't like Nathan like that, all the village girls do, but for me, I dont!"

Craig chuckled again at Kimi's response. He had always found Kimi to be quite sassy and independent, and he wasn't surprised that she wouldn't mind seeing Nathan get put in his place.

It was clear that the girls were all on Tweek's side, and Craig couldn't help but feel a sense of affection for them for supporting Tweek in this way.

He wondered what Tweek felt about it all, but he resisted the urge to go and check on him himself. He knew that it would be better to stay hidden and continue listening to their conversation.

Molly: "Anyways, me and kimi are gonna get the weapons ready. Are you gonna come with us?"

Tweek: "Nah, I'm fine, I'm gonna go home."

Molly: "Okay then, see ya!"

Kimi: "Get home safely!"

Tweek: "Kay!"

The two girls then went to another tunnel, and tweek was sitting at the dinner for a few seconds until he got up and was gonna leave

Craig was left sitting in the shadows, his mind racing. He was torn between the desire to step out and talk to Tweek and the fear of what Tword might say or do. He was also still intrigued by the conversation he had overheard, and he wondered what weapons they were planning to use and what they were preparing for.

Tweek then went to leave to the other tunnel that is the exit and then sees craig there

Tweek: "Craig?! What the -"

Craig stood there, feeling a mix of nervousness and sheepishness as Tweek saw him. He realized that he had been caught eavesdropping, but he also knew that it was the perfect opportunity to talk to Tweek.

"Uh, Hey Tweek," Craig said, trying to sound casual and nonchalant. "I was just... taking a walk."

Tweek: "😐..in the middle of the tunnel?"
