Bromantic (Craig Tucker x Reader)

I Can't Take my Eyes Off of You

So the next day I find myself sitting in Craig's livingroom with Craig and Tweek dressed as my fake cousin Jason. His living room is a light grey with family portraits hung around the room. Craigs parents and little sister all wore the same plain face. It was actually pretty cute how much they looked different but the same.

"S-so Jason can get you to finally make a move but I c-cant?" Tweek said looking amazed at Craig's decision to actually start putting his moves on me.

"Well, I don't know. He actually knows her. I don't know why I have this thing for her, we have barely talked. It's just whenever she smiles at me I can't help but smile. And then when ever she's even in the same room as me my stomach gets tied in knots. Like the other day when I was at her house  ade a complete fool out of myself. 'Nice shorts' God I sounded gay." Craig covered his face with his hands and took a deep breath.

I make him smile? I've never seen him smile around me once. He's flicked me off a few times. Jesus I thought I was being overly observant of him for years and now it seems like I wasn't paying attention at all.

"D-dude that doesn't sound gay! T-That sounds l-like you were checking out her ass!" Tweek began laughing and Craig looked up at him horrified. I swallowed what spit I had left in my mouth trying to cool down the blush spreading across my face.

"THAT'S EVEN WORST!" Craig yelled as he threw his hat onto the ground.

"W-well it is pretty n-nice" Tweek said while looking a bit dazed. Me and Craig both stared at Tweek silently.

"Did you just say you like (y/n) butt?" I asked

"N-no, I'm just saying its not b-bad." Tweeks faced flushed a bright red as Craig stared at him with an unreadable expression.

"Don't look at her again." Craig said with a monotone voice. Tension filled the room and if I didn't know any better I thought maybe they would of started fighting.

"W-well there is a party at Clyde's house tonight. You could invite h-her." Tweek began pulling at his collar stretching it away from his throat.

"That's a great Idea! You could bring her Jason!" Craig looked at me excited. Shit. I didn't even think about this.. I can't be two people at once.

"Well umm.. I can't go. I have to pack up because i'm going home in two days. But I can convince her to go." I felt a little bit sweating as I tried to figure out what to say.

"What? I thought you were visiting for a while? How are you supposed to help me?"

"Y-yeah there was a change of plans. My mom needs me home. But you got this dude besides she might like you too. You should of saw her face when you left. She was red as a tomato." I was surprised with how easy I was lying. I need to stop lying.

"R-really? Y-You think (y/n) likes C-craig?" After Tweek spoke I realized what I just said. I basically just told my crush my biggest secret.

"She might. But I got to go. But she will be at Clyde's tonight I promise. I'll see you later dudes."

"Okay, tell her to be there at 7" Once Craig said that I made my way out of his house and on my way home.

By the time I got home it was already 5 o'clock so I decided to get ready. I cured the ends of my hair lightly and put on a small black dress. I contoured my face and put on mascara and a little bit of lipstick. Then before I made my way out the door I put on some nice black heels. When I finally got to Clyde's house I was about an hour late. There was loud music playing and his whole house was dimly lit with colorful lights blazing in every direction.

    "Hey cutie, want a drink?" Clyde handed me a red solo cup. looked inside it to see a dark liquid.

    "Depends on what it is." I said looking up at his brown eyes.

    "Its coke and rum. Don't worry you won't black out from just one drink." Clyde smiled at me and began drinking out of the cup he held in his other hand. I didn't really see the harm in having a drink seeing how I am at a party, so I took a sip.

    "Oh, so you know what that means. You owe me a dance." Clyde set his cup down on a counter and took a step toward me.

    "What? No thank you. I don't dance. Not unless you want your toes bruised." I can't believe he just asked me to dance. How awkward.

    "Well when a handsome man gives a pretty lady a drink it's just common courtesy." As Clyde was talking to me I spotted Craig behind him. He was sitting on a couch all alone watching Tweek talk to Token and Wendy.

    "I'm sorry Clyde, maybe later." I then made my way over to where Craig was sitting.

    "Hi." I said simply. Craig stood up quickly and stood there stiff as a board looking at me. I felt his eyes wander to my feet and then back to my face.

    "Hey" He said relaxing a bit as he put his hands in his back pockets. I know I have to act clueless like I don't know anything about him so I guess I'll have to try and act like he last few days didn't happen.

    "So, how are you and Tweek doing?" I asked. Even though it broke my heart knowing he hated that everyone thought him and Tweek where a couple.

    "Good" He said. I could tell he was nervous which was making me feel a bit pressured.

    "So um, do you come to parties often?" I asked trying to make a little conversation.

    "No." Was all he said. I took a swig of my drink realizing that this wasn't going anywhere. I was running out of things to talk about so I brought up the one thing that he actually said to me, and not Jason.

    "So what was so special about my shorts?" As I asked him I noticed his eyes dart away from mine.

    "Huh?" He said looking a bit puzzled.

    "The other day, you told me nice shorts. I was wondering why you liked them so much." His eyes focused back on mine and then away again.

    "Oh nothing. Just a complement." His monotone voice was killing because I know he is hiding to much more emotion from me.

    "Alright then. I guess I'll leave ya alone. Clyde asked me to dance anyways. I wouldn't want to be rude" I then chugged the rest of my drink but before I could walk away Craig bumped my shoulder and took me off guard.

"No don't dance with him. He'll just be a jerk to you. If you want we can hang outside for a little bit. It's kind of hard to hear in here." I nodded when Craig looked at me, then we made our way toward the back door of Clyde's house.

The moon was a bright orb in the sky and all the stars were twinkling. There were fireflies buzzing all around almost making it look like we were standing in the stars. We sat down at a picnic table and just took in the scene around us. It was silent for a long moment before we began talking.

"I don't know what it is about you." Craig said while looking at me. His words caught my breath in my mouth.

"W-what do you mean?" I asked looking at him.

"I don't know." He said back. I was beginning to feel just a bit silly. It's hard to describe the joy that just rushed through me, like my drink was finally catching up to me. I grabbed Craig's hat off his head as he reached for it.

"Hey!" He said as I looked at him. His grey eyes looked so mysterious and kind, it was hard not to melt.

"Your hat hair is so adorable." I said as he pulled his hat out of my hands and placed it back on his head.

"Thanks" he muttered. I don't know why I suddenly was feeling so confident, I guess I can blame the drink I chugged before coming out here. I laid down on the table and rested my head him Craigs lap and look up at him. He kept his hands far away from me. I could tell he was nervous to touch me even a little bit.

"You have such kind eyes Craig. I don't know why, but I'd like to be around you more. You are sweet. And very handsome. I can't seem to take my eyes off of you." As I finished talking I saw Craigs face light up as his cheeks reddened.

"I'd like to hang out with you more too (y/n). Maybe I could take you out tomorrow for dinner? On like a date?" Craig asked looking down at me.

"Sounds perfect." I said not being able to stop the smile spreading across my face.
