17 Crimes [discontinued **read desc]

Would You Allow Our Play

                    Kenny slowly opened his eyes. His memories of the night previous slowly but surely came back to him. He was so tired; all he wanted to do was go back to sleep, but sadly, that wasn't an option for him. He groggily sat up and looked over to his left to see that Craig was still passed out. Kenny envied Craig since he obviously got a lot more sleep than he did. 'Damn bastard.' Kenny thought dryly. He swung his legs over the side of the bed and looked at his phone to check the time and see if he had any unread messages. Low and behold, he did. Most of them were from Kyle, one of his best friends, and the rest were from Stan. 'I wonder why Stan didn't tell me that he messaged me last night.' Kenny wondered. 'Oh well, probably wasn't important.' With that thought, he put down his phone. It was 8:12 and he needed to get ready for classes. It wasn't like he really attended most of them anyways, but whatever. He walked over to Craig's bed and lightly shook him, trying to wake him. Shocking, it didn't work. "Hey, Craig... Get up. It's already 8:14." Kenny told the other and stepped back a bit to see what would happen, if anything. Craig slowly, but surely, started to sit up. He looked over at Kenny, his hair still covering his eyes a bit. Kenny could see the glare being shot at him, but he didn't care. "You awake fucker?*" Craig glared at the old nickname Kenny would call him, but just sat up and moved his hair out of his face. Kenny, pleased with finally managing to wake him up, walked over to his dresser to look for a pair of clothes for the day. 

Kenny couldn't help but laugh as both of them finished dressing. Craig had managed to put his pants on backwards. He didn't know how Craig, one of the smartest people at their school, managed to do that. Craig had glared at him the moment the raven haired boy heard the laughter behind him. Kenny had to give him a bit of slack though, seeing as he only had what? Five hours of sleep? He couldn't help but feel bad for him. Then again, it was his idea to go out drinking the night previous. Kenny never really pictured Craig as the drinking type when they were younger, but 'I guess things change...' Kenny thought sadly. He shook his head to erase the thoughts from it. He hated the thought of drinking, or even smoking. He's seen what it does to people. What he doesn't want, though, is to see something bad happen to one of his friends. "Hey, Tucker. Time to go." Kenny warned. There was no response from the other end. He figured Craig didn't care, so he just shrugged his shoulders. Before Kenny could open the door the entire way, it was slammed shut by the force of a hand. No, scratch that; Craig's hand to be exact. Kenny felt his heart skip a beat as his eyes widened. He obligated to not turn around since he never liked seeing someone's face when they were angry or upset... It terrified him. Then Craig said the words. A few simple words that made Kenny wonder the question himself.

"Why do you care so much?" Craig asked in his usual monotone voice. It was so close to Kenny's ear it made him shiver. Kenny had to think pretty hard on this one. He really didn't know why he cared about Craig so much. He stopped caring during his sophomore year in highschool when his parents kicked him out, and he had lost all of his close friends at the time. (No, not Stan and them. My idea for this story is that Kenny had moved for his freshman and sophomore years, then moved back during his junior year in highschool.) Without giving much thought to it, Kenny replied with, "I don't want you to see you get hurt, or thrown in jail." Kenny was genuinely surprised at how calm he sounded considering the fact that he was shaking a bit. A moment of silence went by before Craig sighed inwardly and released the door. Kenny felt a rush of relief flow through his body and opened the door again. This time to actually go through it.

I know, short chapter. . . . But hey, I'll make it up in the next chapter. :D I'm just really tired and I wanted to finish this chapter already. No, I wasn't rushing. I actually took 3 hours to finish the rest of it. Which is pretty impressive compared to other times I've tried to write fanfiction but gave up after 5 months. xD Anywho, I hope you people like it so far. This is the first fanfiction I've worked on in a pretty long time.
