Sometimes Love is Fate, Fate is Always Cruel

Chapter Six

The rest of the day was uneventful for Craig, but what really seemed to bug him wasn't Marsh's anger at him. It was the empty seat next to him in Algebra, the empty seat in front of him in English, and the empty seat six seats away in Physics that really got to him. Where was that twitchy fucker? Though Craig never seemed to show it through his emotionless facade he often felt remorseful for his victims, the blonde especially. As the day ended, Clyde and Token tried to get Craig to hang out with them that afternoon. However he only waved them off, he had a personal mission.

Getting into his truck, he decided to make the journey to the blonde's house. He didn't care at all, or at least that's what he had tried convincing himself all day. But this nagging feeling told him to go check on him. The drive didn't take too long and he was at Tweek's house in minutes. Turning off his truck, he got out and slammed the door. Shoving his hands into his pockets he walked up the passage way to the door. He stood there for a long minute before taking a deep breath and tapping his knuckles against the door. He knocked three times.

Tweek had woken up that morning and decided to stay home. He called his parents, and asked them explaining what had happened. Though the Tweak's hardly showed concern for their son, they did love and worry about them. So they allowed it, instantly shattering the blonde's perfect attendance. While he almost didn't, he had just had enough of the bullying and he just wanted to lock himself away.

So, he spent the day deep cleaning the house until it smelled nothing of lemons and bleach. He showered and did laundry, he also knew that tomorrow he would go clean the cafe. It was closed so it was the perfect time for him to do so.  He was sitting on the couch when he heard a car door slam. He jumped upright, and began trembling. There was one knock, two, and then a third one. Terror seized him as he was unsure what to do. It was then the voice that snapped him out of it. He knew that voice but what shocked him...was how unusual he sounded.

"Tweek, I swear to God...if you don't answer this door I'm going to kick it down!" Was that worry in the male's voice? Slowly he stood and took slow careful steps to the door.

Craig but his lip anxiously, Tweek NEVER missed school. For 11 straight years he was there, never missing a day. Craig was scared, had they finally driven him to insanity? To...maybe kill himself? "Tweek! Please!" And with that he heard the quiet rushed footsteps and the door opened.

Tweek wasn't sure why when he heard Craig speak the second time that he needed to fling the door open. He didn't like that Craig sounded worried or scared. The two stared at each other with wide eyes for a moment. Tweek looked scared, as always but his green eyes held something different. Craig's blue eyes held all the emotion he'd been gathering in his chest that day. Actually laying eyes on the small blonde called his nerves some, knowing he was safe...he was alright. Tweek began to feel anxious under his stare as he finally looked away. He noted that Craig was alone, biting nervously on his lip he tried gathering courage.

"W-would you like to come-ngh- in?"
