CRAIG'S POV

Gay.

That word gives me the shivers.

Kids in South Park aren't very found of that word...hell no one really is.

Twitches is gay?

No he couldn't be...he's probably confused.

Yeah! That's it!

How do gay people even have sex?

"Craig?" My Mom snaps me out of whatever I had.

"What? Huh?" I said.

"You're very quiet which is unusual. What are you thinking about?"

"I'm not thinking about anything mom--"

"Probably his boyfriend, Tweek," Ruby comments and I have very fast reflexes so I kicked her under the table right after you said that and she winces.

"We aren't dating! And besides I like girls," I say shakily.

"I WAS JOKING! I KNOW YOU LIKE GIRLS RETARD--"

"Ruby now you know we don't say retard," My Dad scolds.

"....R-Tard," She corrects herself.

"Now that's better."

Now I can't stop thinking about Tweek.

Maybe I should apologize for the way I acted when he told me the breaking news.

I mean, I was just shocked.

When you're shocked...you do things you don't usually do.

I don't have a problem with gays -- hell, my teacher is gay!

I just never thought my best friend would be.

"Will you excuse me please," I say getting up and run to my room and pick up the phone.

TWEEK'S POV

I'm such an idiot!

I feel like I just humiliated myself.

Craig was like my best friend and I feel like I've lost him!

Then next thing I know my Dad walks in wanting me to tell him the news.

"I'm g-gay." I said just as he came in and his eyes grew wide.

Tears start brimming my eyes, "I'm g-gay." I repeat.

My Dad just stands there, "Oh, um, wow--"

"You h-hate me n-now too huh," I said wiping my tears.

"Why on earth would I hate you, Tweek?" He said coming closer to me.

"B-Because that's what u-usually happens w-when people tell t-their parents t-that they're g-gay," I said.

"Well as a parent my job is to be supportive of my son whatever he does and guide him through, yes I was a little taken back but there's nothing I can do about it," He laughs.

"...Y-Yeah," I chuckle wiping more years.

"So um have you told mom?"

"N-NO!" I said, "S-She's gonna flip! S-She hates g-gays!"

"I'm sure that point of view would change.So...let's talk about boys," My Dad says jokingly and I laugh.

It's nice to have a nice Dad like mine.

Then next thing I know my phone rings with Craig on the caller ID.

Oh shit.

"U-Uh Dad I h-have to t-take this can Y-you give me some p-privacy?"

"Sure, son," He says and closes the door.

I quickly pick it up just in time, "H-Hello?"

"Hey dude, I wanna apologize."

"O-Oh um, alright?"

"Sorry for the way I acted...I was just taken back yanno? I never really expected that," He says voice cracking.

"Y-Yeah I u-understand," I say.

Then there was an awkward silence which never happens between Craig and I.

"Um..."

"How do you know when you're gay?" Craig says.

Woah.

"W-Well I just r-realized I never l-likes any girls, r-really. And then, well I-I found you attractive, t-this guy from my old s-school a-attractive, and C-Chris Evans--"

"Chris Evans?" Craig laughs and I blush.

"Y-Yeah. You j-just kinda know."

"Oh well okay."

"W-Why?"

"Just wondering." He says bluntly.

"Well o-okay."

"I gotta go," Craig says, "I have to finish dinner."

"O-Oh alright -- oh w-wait Craig!" I say right before he hangs up.

"Yeah?"

"K-Keep this a s-secret between us...o-okay?"

"Sure, dude."
