Stan's POV
I twiddle my thumbs. Wendy glances at me and walks over, noticing my nervousness.
"Is everything okay babe?" She asks
I smile lightly at her and nod
"If you need anything, let my know." She kisses my cheek and walks away. I wipe it off and sigh, scolding myself for being such a wuss. I can't even break up with her. I step out and lean against the front of the school with my flask, taking the cap off and drinking.
"Hey." A voice says next to me, I jump and look where the voice came from, Craig.
"Hey..." I respond, looking a bit confused, as a silent question as to why he's out here.
"What?" He asks to my expression
"What are you doing out here?" I ask
"I'd ask the same thing to you" He responds, a bit of anger hinting at his voice.
"You don't need to sass me, Tucker I was just asking." I state
"I'm curious on what you're doing here." Craig says
"I needed to step out for a drink." I shake the flask around
"Hmm. Not what I was expecting." Craig states
"Well what were you expecting?" I ask
"You being a whiny bitch, and coming out here to cry because you finally got the guts to leave that whore." Craig answers
I roll my eyes "Fuck you dude"
"Even I can see that you don't like her. Just tell her you're gay and leave her." Craig says
"I'm not gay." I state
"Shame." He says
"What?! Why?" I exclaim, my head snapping toward him.
"Because Tweek and I just broke up, and since Tweek and I are the only openly gay kids in school, I'm trying to find another gay kid so I can just stick it to him... I was hoping you were gay so you could help me out with it." He explains
He wants a boyfriend? Just so he can stick it to Tweek? Only he could possibly be that evil. I stay silent to think for a moment, contemplating on if I should just go with it for him. I have been kinda curious.
"Okay. What do I have to do?" I ask
"What are you talking about?" Craig asks
"I'm willing to help you stick it to Tweek, you're right. I fuckin hate dating Wendy. What's my role?" I ask
"Okay, calm down. We're just faking being boyfriends..." Craig states
"So what.. do we have to kiss, or just hang out... how deep are we getting into this?" I ask
"Kissing. At least one make out where Tweek can see." Craig says
"Can we... practice first?" I ask
"Why? Haven't you kissed someone before?" Craig asks
"Yeah... But... You're a different person and you have different techniques." I rub my arm, I just wanna kiss him. To make sure I'm straight, and that this is just gonna be pretend. He sighs and steps closer to me, placing his hand on my cheek.
"Ugh I can smell the fucking alcohol from here." Craig rolls his eyes
"Well too bad I'm the only got who's willing to do this for you." I glare at him, he smirks slightly and kisses me harshly, I gasp, dropping my flask and my arms go to his sides, gripping them. He pulls back with a slight glare
"Is that how you kiss all the time? Dude you need some work... no wonder Tweek left you." I chuckle, he sighs
"Is that not how to kiss?" Craig asks
"No, this is how to kiss..." I softly press my lips to his, he moves his lips against mine, after a few moments I pull back, his entire mood is softened and for a moment, he looks up at me almost in awe, his pupils dilate slightly. We're still very close, our noses are almost touching, and it suddenly hits me, I'm gay. I lean in and connect our lips once again. He kisses back for a slight moments then pulls away almost immediately after.
"Uh... Oh... Okay... that's enough practice... I think our lips are well acquainted." Craig says, brushing his jacket off and stepping away, he's got a blush and looks slightly afraid.
"Oh c'mon... I think they could always get to know each other better..." I step toward him, and for a moment I can see him contemplating it.
"Fuck off." He states
"I can tell you liked it." I smirk slightly
"Yeah... you're a guy... I'm gay... but..." he looks to the side "let's just get this over with." He takes my hand and leads me back into the school. He pushes me against a locker that I can only assume is his. He kisses me roughly and I push him away.
"Craig... remember, soft kisses..." I remind him, he sighs and kisses me softly, I return the kiss, making it a bit more passionate. He returns the passion as the bell rings and people start coming into the hallway. A few gasps are heard as we're seen.
"Wendy look! Your boyfriend is gay!" Bebe exclaims, Craig and I don't break our lip lock, though he wants to, but I keep him close.
"Stan!!" Wendy exclaims afterward, Craig and I pull away. He gives me a reassuring look. I sigh look to find Wendy, who has now stormed past the entire crowd and is standing right next to Craig and I.
"What the fuck are you doing?!" Wendy shrills
"Well, What does it look like he's doing?" Craig asks
"It looks like he's cheating on me with a dude!" She answers
"Well then that's what it is, Bitch." He glares at her, then looks at me and his angry expression softens as he pecks my lips. It's just an act...
"What the hell Craig!" Tweek exclaims, coming into view from the crowd
"What? We're broken up." Craig says
"Well we're gonna get back together! Like we usually do!" Tweek exclaims
"I'm not gonna be stuck in a cycle of breaking up and getting back together! I want a fucking stable relationship! Which is something I get from Stan!" Craig argues
"Fuck You dude!" Tweek flips Craig off and walks away, tears in his eyes.
"And fuck you Stan!" Wendy speaks up my breathing picks up "You Gay... cheating son of a bitch!" She adds, I can't speak... I look at Craig, who looks at me and looks mad till he sees my frightened expression, his eyes soften and he looks back at Wendy.
"Back. Off." He states, stepping back from me and stepping toward her.
"You know I'm not afraid to kick your ass..." Wendy says
"And I'm not afraid to kick yours. Just let him go. He doesn't want you. There's no use fighting." Craig responds, taking my hand, it takes me a few moments before I squeeze it and intertwine our fingers. He looks at me and smiles, I smile back, leaning over and kissing his cheek, his face turns bright red.
"Oh c'mon, like he'd wanna be with a guy instead of the hottest girl in school." Wendy says
"He's right." I say
Wendy looks at me in shock "Excuse me?"
"He's right. I want to be with him." I say too genuinely, I look down and he's hugging me, I look surprised before I hug him back. Wendy looks shocked
"What the fuck!!!" She exclaims "When did you become gay?!" She adds
"Since I started talking to Craig...?" I answer
"But- Ugh! C'mon! We belong together! You're the captain of the football team and I'm leader of the cheerleading squad! We're like the most cliché fucking couple ever! You need to be with me!" Wendy argues
I sigh "Okay..." I pull back from Craig, who gives me a strange look.
"What?! No! Not okay! Stan should be with whoever he likes, not whoever his reputation matches with. If he's gay he's never gonna be straight. So back off and let him be with whoever he wants to be with." Craig says, taking my hand and pulling me into his arms.
"Craig... it's fine..." I sigh and look down, he makes me look at him
"No, it's not fine." Craig responds, tightening his grip on me and looking at Wendy, by this time the bell has rung, but most people are more focused on this, they care more about this than going to class, though some people left to go to class. "What gives you the right to force him to do things that he doesn't want to?" He asks her, I look at Craig, then hide my face in his neck.
"He's my boyfriend! I have the right to do whatever I want!" Wendy answers
"Well last I checked. He was my boyfriend." Craig says, I smile as he calls me his boyfriend.
"But.. Ugh... Stan! Defend me!" Wendy exclaims
I sigh and look at her, a bit angry "I'm done defending you. I'm done listening to your stupid problems, I want to be gay, I want to be with Craig, you can go be with someone else" I look back at Craig, who is smiling, seeming to be proud. Wendy flips her hair and walks away, the crowd thins and suddenly everyone's back in class.
"Thanks..." I pull away from him
"You're welcome" Craig responds, I put my hands in my pockets and look down
"So we have to keep pretending?" I ask
"Uh... yes... p-pretending..." Craig answers, looking down.
"Okay uh... I'll see you later..." I wave a little and walk away.
"Wait! Stan!" Craig exclaims, I turn around, a hopeful look on my face.
"Yeah?" I ask
"If we're gonna be fake boyfriends... you should probably have my phone number..." Craig says, I nod and walk over to him, we exchange numbers and part. Going to our separate classes.
During lunch, we sit next to one another, we sit with Clyde, Kyle, Kenny, Cartman, Butters, and Token. Who are talking about the scene we made earlier.
"So you two are dating now?" Cartman asks
"Yep." Craig answers like it's nothing.
"Yeah..." I answer as well.
"You were too late for him Kahl" Cartman states
"What? I'm not gay for him" Kyle responds
"So you're gay?" Cartman asks
"No!" Kyle exclaims
Cartman continues to rile Kyle up as usual, Craig and I make short eye contact. I look away and blush softly, he leans over and kisses my cheek. He doesn't mean it, it's just for the public. I push my trey up and rest my head on the table, wrapping my arms around my head.
"Everything okay?" Craig asks, I look up at him and nod, my throat going dry.
"Y-Yeah!" I answer
"You gonna eat that?" Cartman asks pointing at my trey, I push it closer to him
"Go nuts, fatass" I answer, he starts taking things from it.
"If something's wrong, Talk to me." Craig puts a hand on my shoulder.
"It's not real" I state
"What isn't?" Craig asks
I pull him close so I can whisper to him "Our relationship isn't real. You caring about me is only an act." I state
"Oh... yeah..." Craig sighs and looks down. Resting his head on his hand. He seems to have taken it as if I'm reminding him. I lean over and kiss his cheek. He smiles lightly then leans to whisper in my ear
"We're faking." He reminds me
I look at him "I'm not." I say as seriously as I can. He tenses up.
"What's wrong?" Clyde asks Craig, he shakes his head and smiles
"Nothing at all." He gets up and takes my hand, pulling me along with him. He takes us to an empty hallway
"You aren't faking it?" He asks
"Well I mean.. I am... because we aren't boyfriends but I'm.. I'm not because I'm... actually kinda.... into you..." I answer, blushing deeply and looking down.
"I'm kinda into you too..." Craig admits, I look up at him with a small smile
"You are?" I ask
"Yeah..." He answers
I sigh happily and take his hand "Wanna stop faking?"
"No." Craig answers "We have to do it right..." he quickly adds
"How are we meant to do it correctly?" I ask
"Will you be my boyfriend?" He asks
I roll my eyes "Yes, Craig. I will be your boyfriend."
He hugs me and smiles "Okay, lets go back" Craig says, we go back into the Cafeteria and sit in the same spots we were in before, a bit happier.
"You two go make out or something?" Cartman asks
"Sure" Craig says sarcastically
"Wait really!?" Cartman exclaims
"Fags!" Butters exclaims
"Butters..." Cartman facepalms
"What?" He asks
"Not to their faces..." Cartman holds the bridge of his nose.
"No. Butters. Don't say it at all." I state
"Oh... Well okay!" He exclaims
The bell rings and we all go back to class, I get judged into my locker and I look back and see Wendy, I guess she's still pissed. Whatever. She'll get over it.
