Craig's Embarrassing Story

hoppy3: can you do another creek one where Tweek and Craig are a real couple and tweek gets hurt

Craig isn't a worrier. He's usually the guy who is calm and stoic even in the face of tragedy. It's not that he doesn't care, it's just how he is usually.

People tend to think he's always calm, and it's easy to see why when you compare him to his boyfriend of six years, Tweek. He was a giant ball of fear and anxiety wrapped up in a small blonde package. Speaking of Tweek, something happened that changed everyone's, including Craig's, opinion. That's the beginning of the story.

It was four years ago, junior year in high school. Craig was eating lunch with Tweek and his best friends Token and Clyde. Everything was business as usual with teasing and banter. Then suddenly it wasn't.

Tweek collapsed. As if that wasn't bad enough he hit his head on the lunch table on the way down.

Craig panicked. He didn't know what happened, all he knew was one of the few people he loved was bleeding and unconscious. He let out a choked sob and knelt down next to Tweek.

He wasn't paying attention to anyone else. The outside world disappeared entirely in the split second it took for Tweek to fall.

Craig was uncontrollable, he gripped Tweek so hard that if he wasn't unconscious it might have hurt. Craig gently rocked him back and forth whispering things in his ears that he wouldn't remember later. It only took a couple of minutes for the medic to arrive but Craig would argue that it took at least fifteen minutes and that they should have been there sooner.

When they attached Tweek to the gurney and hauled him into the ambulance Craig tried to go with them but they told him since he wasn't eighteen he couldn't ride with them. Of course, this only made Craig angry and he tried to fight with the doctors that it shouldn't really matter but the just shoved him away and started attending to Tweek since they didn't know what was wrong with him. Before he could attempt to climb back in the ambulance took off leaving him in its dust.

Craig called Tweek's parents who agreed to pick him up since they knew how much the two of them cared about each other. His own parents were not happy that he decided to skip school but that was their problem because he definitely wasn't not going to see his boyfriend.

The entire trip to the hospital Craig couldn't stay still because of the worry. Tweek's parents tried to calm him down but Craig wasn't really paying attention to what they were saying. There were more important things to think about than Tweek's parents trying to comfort him but failing.

Even though they were technically there in a timely manner it felt like an eternity and Craig was afraid that Tweek would wake up scared because he wouldn't know anyone and start having a panic attack. Which would be horrible, especially because Craig promised Tweek he would never have to go through another panic attack alone.

As soon as they parked Craig ran inside the hospital. When he entered and realized he had no idea where he was going he stopped and waited for Tweek's parents to catch up. It was annoying but Craig would deal.

His parents talked to the front desk and Craig ended up following them to a room where he assumed Tweek was in.

Craig practically pushed Tweek's parents aside, something he would apologize for late, and rushed inside. What he saw surprised them. Tweek was simply fiddling with something on his phone. His head was bandaged and there was a drip attached to his body but otherwise, he seemed perfectly fine.

Tweek smiled, "h-hi, sorry I didn't realize my blood pressure was so low."

Craig was almost angry, "you just had low blood pressure."

Tweek nodded embarrassed, "yeah, I'm normally better at watching it."

Tweek's dad laughed, "you should have seen Craig, he was acting like you were going to die."

Craig crossed his arms in defiance, "for all I knew, he was!"

Everyone had a good time laughing at Craig's expense. Even more so when they saw the red tinge that appeared on his face.

They all still make fun of him for it. The problem is that even though he knows it's a lost cause he still tries to defend himself. Something that still makes his friends laugh. Craig likes to think that that's why he's always unemotional the rest of the time.
