Tweek's P.O.V.

I got a little relived when Clyde said he was going to do it. I just wonder what will happen between whoever and Craig. It was Friday and dad wanted me to help out at the coffee shop. I got up from my bed and left the house. I walked to the coffee shop and when I got there I put my apron on and went in the storage room. I took out some more coffee bags and brought them back to dad. Work was the same. Nothing really exciting happened. After work was over it was starting to get dark. I figured that now was the best time to visit the pond. I told my dad that I was going and he nodded. I set my apron down and put on my jacket and scarf. I walked out and to the pond. It seemed really quiet and nice. As soon as I got there I looked at the water and admired the moonlight. The way it shined made it look really nice. Suddenly I heard a voice. "So.....you Come here too huh?" I turned around to see Craig with a sad looking expression. "Cr-Craig. Are you o-ok?" I asked concerned. "Ummm......no..not really." He said. He walked closer to me and looked at the water. It's beautiful huh? The way the moon reflects off the water." He said in a calm tone. "Y-Yeah....it is." I said back. "Why are you here?" He asked. "O-Oh, I ju-just like to come. Th-The water helps m-me re-relax." I answered. He nodded. "I come here whenever I feel lonely......my parents....they found out about the party....and the girl. They kicked me out because they feared that I might have gotten someone pregnant. My mom begged my dad to let me stay, but I guess he really was done with me this time." I looked down at my feet. "Craig......you're n-not alone." I said as I tried my hardest not to stutter. I didn't look up, but I could feel his stare on me. He wrapped his arm around me and pulled me close for a hug. "Thanks man." He let go and I smiled. I then got a sudden idea. "Hey! Y-You can stay wi-with me! That is i-it yo-you don't alr-ready have a p-place to stay." I said. "That's......actually not a bad idea. Would your parents be ok with it?" I nodded my head and he smiled. "I really thought today was going to get worse, but.....I guess I was wrong. Tweek......thank you. Thank you for being here today. Without you.....I don't know what I would have done." He looked at me and gave me a smile. I smiled back and felt a tear run down my face.  Why do moments like these have to be so precious. I wiped my face and looked up at the water. Then I got up. "Come o-on....we c-can sit o-on the be-bench." Craig followed me and we both sat. Without saying a word we enjoyed the view. Suddenly I felt Craig's head on my shoulder. I looked over at him and he had his eyes closed. "Craig?" I called. He didn't answer me. He was sleeping. How can he be sleeping in a place like this? With me? I decided not to question it anymore and I rested my head on his. If only this moment was something more, but I like it the way it is.

I felt my eyes get heavy and I soon tell asleep too.

~Morning~

  I woke up with my head on Craig's shoulder. I don't remember it like this last night. I looked up and saw Craig wide awake staring at the water. "You know....the water looks nice during sunrise too." I soon realised how this looked and I immediately removed my head and dusted myself off. "Y-Yeah....it do-does." I said back. "Come on, your parents are probably worried." Craig stood up and I nodded. We walked back to my house and I slowly opened the door. My dad was gone for work and my mom just be helping him because no one was home. "No one's here." Craig said. "O-Oh.....they mu-must've left for wo-work." I said. We walked in and I closed the door. "You have a nice house." Craig said. I smiled and started to walk up stairs. "I'll sh-show you my r-room." I said. He followed me and I opened the door. "Here i-it is." I said as I walked in. "Your room looks nice." He complemented. "Thank's" I said

as I smiled. "So.....what now?" He asked. "Ummm......do yo-you want to g-get coffee?" I asked. He stared at me for a while. "Sure, ok." I was dying on the inside. We walked out and to the coffee shop. I opened the door and saw my parents. "Tweek, there you are. You didn't come home last night. Where were you?" My dad asked me. "I was umm...w-with Cr-Craig!" I said back. My dad looked at Craig. "Is this true?" He asked. Craig nodded and my dad. "Ok Tweek, as long you're safe." I smiled and ordered something. "Craig, I'll give you coffee for free seeing that you took care of my son and that it's your first visit here." My dad said. "Thank you." Craig said. We walked at an empty table and sat. "So.....your parents and you run this place?" Craig asked. I nodded and I saw a faint smile. "That's kinda cool." He said. "Yeah." I said back. My mom came with our coffee and smiled at both of us. Then walked back to the counter. We both took sips and I looked up at Craig. "Mmm, this is really good." Craig said licking his lips. "Y-Yeah...it is." I said back. He drank more and we just talked about random things while laughing at some of them. Suddenly we saw two old ladies staring at us. "See Cath, young love is everywhere no matter gender." As soon as I heard that I started to blush. Craig must've heard too because he looked away and stopped talking. It was kind of awkward after that. We both sipped our coffee quietly and didn't talk for a while. Time flew by and Craig finally said something. "Hey, would you come with me....to my house so that I can get a few things?" He asked. I gave a faint smile and nodded. We both got up and walked out. We walked to Craig's house which is surprisingly not that far from mine. He was hesitant at walking in, but the thing is, he didn't. He just stood there. "Screw it, I'll climb to my room. He hopped on a few things and eventually made it up. He then looked out of the window at me. "Are you gonna come?" He asked. "W-What!?" I said surprisingly. "Oh come on. It'll just be for a second and my mom is off at work. My dad might be home though which doesn't make the situation better, but oh well. Take a risk Tweek. Besides if we die, we die together."

I nodded and found my way up. I climbed through and suddenly saw Craig with his shirt off. My eyes widened and I stared at him. I couldn't lie to myself saying that I didn't miss how he looked because I did. Then I suddenly looked at his neck. I saw them. The deep marks I had left on him now fading away. I brought my hand up and touched my neck too. Remembering his touch. His sent. The way his lips felt on my neck. When he came closer to me and-"Tweek? Are you ok?" I snapped out of thought and faked a smile. "Y-Yeah!" I said. Criag laughed a little and put another shirt on. "I at least have to change my clothes." He said. I nodded and started to look around his room. It wasn't entirely clean. Maybe that's why he complemented my room. "Ok, I have a few clothes with my and stuff me to keep my hygiened. I should be good now." We were about to leave when Craig's dad busted into the room. "Craig!! Is that you?! Just wait till I get up there!" I felt like I was frozen. Craig suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the window. "Come on let's go!" He let me go out first then he followed. We climbed down and ran. I looked back and saw Craig's dad stare at us. We ran back to my house and finally caught our breaths.
"Wasn't that exciting."

Craig said with a smile. "A-A little." I said back. Craig smiled at me and I smiled back. I never thought today would be this fun.
