Wanting Something Real (A Twyle Story)

Chapter 20

Tweek's POV

"Hey K-Kyle, happy Valentine's d-day! I got y-your candy-gram but how d-did you manage to g-get it into my locker without a-anybody noticing?" I was really eager to hear how he pulled it off. I waited a few seconds for his reply back but the line was silent. My curiousity quickly turned into panic. "Kyle? What happened, is everything o-ok?" More silence. Was he mad that I didn't get him a valentine? I thought we agreed to celebrate on Saturday because we were both busy today. What if he br-.

"Did anything weird happen at your school today?" I was glad my thoughts were interuppted by Kyle's question. He hadn't said anything since he answered my call and I was starting to think he was going to break up with me. That's what happens when you are paranoid over everthing and overthink little things. He asked about school and anything weird happening.

"Weird like K-Kenny declaring his love t-to Butters over the P.A. s-system?" Honestly he tries to do that any chance he gets. The office secretaries must have been in a good mood today to finally let Kenny do it. I was with Butters when it happened. His face was beyond embarrased. All of the girls who hooked up with Kenny in the past looked super jealous. I don't think Butters noticed though so he got to enjoy Kenny's proclamation.

"No Tweek. Weird like.... *sigh* Did Craig say anything ab-"

"Kyle, I t-told you C-Craig and I weren't r-really dating. You don't h-have to worry about him." Geez, I wouldn't have thought of Kyle as the jealous type.

" I know Tweek, that's not what I'm worried about...." I've never heard Kyle sound so defeated before. He's normally so cocky and full of himself.

"What are y-you not telling m-me K-Kyle? You know how I d-don't like you k-keeping secrets f-from me." I was trying to stay calm but it proved to be difficult. Why was Kyle being so paranoid, he's the laid back one out of the two of us. For him to be so nervous was really scary. I was waiting on pins and needles for his explanation. What seemed like minutes later but in reality was only seconds Kyle hesitantly told me what supposedly happened at school today.

"OK, so you know how I have a friend at South Park..... he was the one who put that valentine in your locker... he thought that nobody noticed but Craig happened to see it.....David-" David?! How dumb am I to not realize it was him? "-didn't know until after school today when Craig confronted him. At first Craig thought it was from David himself but David reassured him that it couldn't be him because he has a girlfriend. David was helping Heidi pass out the valentines and it was his idea for himself to sneak it into your locker after lunch. Craig was persistent asking who it was from and David kept my name out of it explaining to Craig that it wasn't his place to tell."

Kyle was out of breath from his lengthy story. He was probably waiting for my outburst but my mind was in shock. First of all David being Kyle's inside source was so obvious. I thought back to that basketball game at Kyle's school and David's random questions with his sarcastic attitude all made sense now. He's known all this time and I definitely looked like a complete idiot in that bathroom for not catching on. Second CRAIG, really?! For someone who's not supposed to have many emotions he was pretty invested in trying to figure out who would send me a valentine. I never thought of us being that close and personal in each others life. I mean I know we had to act that way in front of everyone else but we never put that much effort in real life. So why pick now to start caring? -----More silence on my end. I could hear Kyle faintly trying to snap me back into reality. Here goes nothing.

"So umm, D-David is p-positive that Craig doesn't know th-that it was you who g-gave me the valentine?" Honestly that was the only positive thing I've been able to piece together from all of this. I could handle myself being scrutinized but I would hate to see Kyle suffer on my part. I've gone through it before and wouldn't wish it on anybody. It's pretty obvious how my friends feel about Kyle and I know they wouldn't welcome him being in my life with open arms.

After a few seconds Kyle broke out into a laughing fit. "Seriously Tweek? I've been freaking out for the past few hours about all of this and all you care about was Craig not finding out it was me? You're also not going to chew me out for not telling you about David? You could at least be a little bit selfish and worry about yourself." That last part sounded like a joke but I knew what Kyle was implying. It's not selfish if it's someone you care about. I wasn't quite ready to say it out loud, it's super embarrassing and cheesy. I think Kyle noticed my awkward silence as embarrassment and quickly apologized. "Sorry, I forget how cute it is when you think of others before yourself. It's one of the things I lo- look forward to seeing more of from you." I hummed to acknowledge his apology and he proceeded to try to sort all of this out. "Anyways..... what's the plan boss?"

Plan? "H-Huh, what do y-you mean p-plan? I'm not s-sneaky enough t-to come up with a p-plan. That should b-be your job! You're the r-reason we have t-to come up with a plan in th-the first place!" Well his humbleness only lasted so long. How could he possible think I could come up with anything now.

"A-hah, you see that's where you're wrong. Not about me being the reason for the plan but Tweek, you are sneaky. See, I got too cocky thinking that no one would notice the valentine you received. I've had the easy part of only having to hide this from my family. You're the one who has been able to keep your friends, classmates, and family in the dark. No one suspected anything until today. You got to give yourself more credit babe. You truly are the brains of this operation." Oh god! Kyle was right. I never gave myself enough credit for the past couple months. My paranoid thoughts finally paid off.

"Uhh...Thanks? No one h-has ever had that m-much confidence in m-me, it's n-nice. How a-about I call you b-back when I c-come up with something. I've got a l-lot of plotting t-to do hehe." It's always fun when I get to be the cocky one every now and then. I knew I had the upper hand with Kyle and he had no place right now to argue with me about it. He happily obliged but not until he said sorry about eight more times before he eventually hung up.

What to do... What person would pass as being my boyfriend or plainly having a crush on me? All of the students at South Park were to involved with either school sports or all ready had a boyfriend. There was only one group of people who purposely went out of their way to not be associated with any part of the school. It was so simple, the goths. The only name I could remember was Pete. He would most definitely deny anything that would connect him being in a relationship with me. If Craig needs a name that's the one I would give him. I doubt he would confront him anyways. I could just play it off as Pete being too goth to admit to being in a relationship with someone so conformist. He likes coffee, I like coffee. He's antisocial, not going to any parties or school activities at all. I go to a few games but never any parties. Whenever there's a school dance I would have a valid reason to not be there, Pete would never go to anything like that. All of the details lined up perfectly. It was a little scary how well this plan could actually work. The only thing left to do was call Kyle and get the OK from him.

"H-hey Kyle, how do y-you feel about m-me being in a f-fake relationship again?"

So sorry for having to throw Pete under the bus but somebody had to do it haha
