Tweek's POV

"Please please please text back, uhhhh!". I couldn't wrap my head around why Kyle would be ignoring my texts. I'm pretty sure he now knows that Kenny doesn't like him and that doesn't help out much. Hopefully he doesn't know why. It's not Kyle's fault that Butters joked about him being hot. After twenty minutes of pacing in my room my thoughts get interrupted by a knock on my door. I have high hopes it's Kyle but I know that's ridiculous. He doesn't even know where I live. There's only one person I could think of that would come unannounced and at this time of the night. *sigh* "Just a sec Craig." 

I open the door and Craig walks in right away. I stand with my arms crossed waiting for his sudden reason for being at my house. "What, you're not excited to see your ex-boyfriend" he cheekily says with a smirk.

"Excuse me, FAKE ex-boyfriend!! We were never dating for real dum dum. State your reason for being here." I can't believe he's still hung up on this. I thought he would be happy to not be stuck with me anymore and date whoever he wants to now.

"Geesh, calm down Tweekers, I'm just giving you a hard time. Anyways Kenny told me about Kyle going to the coffee shop today. We both think he's bad news and I wanted to make sure you were ok." I study his face and notice how caring his features look. I can't help but start laughing. I've never seen Craig like this and I can't figure out why.

"Are you being serious right now? You came here because you're worried about that guy from Denver." His face now looks hurt. I didn't think I could say anything that would get that type of reaction from him unless.... "Um Craig, you don't actually-" *ding* I got distracted by my phone going off. Looking down on my phone to see I got a text from Kyle. My face lights up immediately. Turns out he and his family were busy at his dad's annual holiday party for his lawfirm. Whenever Kyle or Ike would check their phones Sheila would scold them about being rude guests. 

I sigh in relief to know Kyle wasn't ignoring me.That explains all the gift certificates he purchased today. Must have been for his father's co-workers or boss. I felt like a middle school girl, assuming the worst instead of a rational explanation. Just being my paranoid self I guess. Craig is staring at me with a confused look. Oh crap, have I been stupidly smiling this whole entire time. "Oh, sorry about that. Just one of those automated text message from Starbucks, you know how much I love coffee haha." Wow that was awkward. I wonder if Craig noticed I was lying.

"You know you could just mute those conversations right?" By the grumpy tone of his voice I can tell he doesn't believe me.

"I'll do that right now." He's still staring at me and doesn't say anything else for a minute. What's going on in that head of his? "What's on your mind Craig?" He looks down then back up at me.

"Why don't you stutter when you talk to me anymore?" That question caught me off guard. I didn't even realize my stuttering slowly stopped occurring after we 'broke up'. It took me a while to realize what causes my stuttering the most.

"Um... I only have problems with my stuttering when I'm nervous or like somebody. I'm not worried about anyone finding out we weren't really dating since we aren't 'boyfriends anymore so that takes all of the nerves away. The other reason is pretty obvious...." He finally takes his gaze away from me to close his eyes and shake his head.

"I didn't realize your stutter was all nerves. Good to know I guess." I noticed his voice had more of a disappointment tone this time. He wraps his hand behind his head and sighs. "It's getting late, I should head home to my lame family. I'm sure they're soooo worried about me." He cracks a small smile before he turns towards my bedroom door. I tell him to have a safe walk home even though he only lives a few houses away. It's the thought that counts right? He just nods his head without saying another word and leaves.

Hey hey. Glad to see you guys reading and voting on my first story. Just wanted to say how grateful and happy I am for everything. If anybody draws and would like to make a drawing of Tweek with Kyle that would be awesome. I don't draw but I think a pic of Kyle in his school uniform and Tweek would be really cute. There's not very much drawings of the two together since they're not the most popular pairing but I've always thought the idea of them was sweet. Hopefully this shows up in bold writing so you guys know this is an author's note haha
