Together Forever, Honey (Killer Creek AU)

Chapter 3: Friends

Time passed quickly as Tweek drew and delved into the deepest calm he'd ever reach before. He was in the middle of drawing until he remembered he was going to meet up with Clyde soon, jumping to his feet in a panic and checking the time on his phone once again. The time read, "4:50" making him give a sigh of relief and put the phone down. "Jesus, that was a close one.." he mumbled to himself.

Tweek began to get dressed to go out, slipping on a loose, green sweater and some black ripped jeans. Edgy-ish, but cute. He put on his black vans, grabbed his phone, and headed out of his room to the living room. "I'm going to go see Clyde, momma! I'll be back in an hour or so." He called to his mom, who was in the kitchen. "Ok honey, be careful!" she called back with a wave goodbye before he left. The blonde instantly got chills down his back from the temperature outside and rubbed his arms. He pulled out his phone and earbuds and began to play music loudly into his ears, not wanting to talk to anyone or hear them try to talk to him.

He began his journey to the Donovan's house with a calm mind and music filled head, kind of excited to actually get out of his house (aside from school). He hummed to his music and looked down as he walked, making sure not to step on the crevices of the pavement, until suddenly meeting face to face with a blue body out of nowhere. Upon impact, he gasped from surprise and quickly backed away, apologizing and pulling the earbuds out of his ears. The blonde looked up only to see, none other than, Craig Tucker.

"C-Craig? What are you doing here?" he stammered out, still startled by the collision. "Oh, well thought I'd go for a walk and maybe even visit you," he said with a soft, yet creepy, smile, "speaking of which, where are you heading?" Tweek tilted his head to the question and held his arms against his chest, "Oh, well Me and Clyde were planning to hang out and play video games after school, sorry Craig." he said. Craig's smile quickly faded away into a glare, scaring Tweek from the sudden change in expression, "Oh. Is that so." he said briefly and sourly

Tweek flinched and backed away a bit again, "Well- yeah? I haven't been out all summer and think it'd be fun to hang out with friends aga-" "You don't need to be with your friends Tweek. You have me. I'm all you need" Craig interrupted him and took a step closer, reaching out to grab his arm. "Uh..ok Craig, no, stop joking," he laughed nervously, stepping back once more and checking the time on his phone, "Look, I'm sorry we can't hang, but I'm gonna be late for Clyde, I gotta go." he rushed off before Craig could answer him and put his earbuds back in.

"That was really weird...that's not like Craig either...I hope he was just joking...that was really scary..." These thoughts repeatedly flooded poor Tweek's mind as he finished off his journey to Clyde's house. Once he made it to his destination, he looked around in search of the blue beanie he knew so well, finding it was nowhere in sight and walking up to the front door to knock. He heard the scampering of feet and saw the blinds by the door move around rapidly, hearing the unlocking of the doorknob and meeting face to face with Clyde, "Heya there spazz, took you long enough! I was starting to think you wouldn't come." The brown haired boy joked to Tweek, causing him to chuckle, "Oh shut up taco man, I'm here, now let's go play so video games and yell at the screen for no reason other than gamer's rage."

The two went inside excitedly and the door closed behind them with a thud.

2 hours passed as Tweek was at Clyde's house. 2 hours of yelling at a TV screen, button mashing, googling cheat codes, and devouring pizza pockets. Tweek was having a blast and he really enjoyed it, forgetting the whole incident with Craig before he made it to Clyde's house. "Hey Tweek, earlier you asked if Craig was acting weird." Tweek paused the game to look at Clyde, "Yeah, you said he wasn't really. Why are you bringing it up?" the blonde tilted his head and furrowed his brow a bit. "Well, I wanted to know why you thought he was acting weird." Clyde said before downing the last bit of a soda bottle.

"Oh- well..." Tweek put down the console controller and looked down to his feet in thought, "well he's just been...really clingy? Like...scary clingy," he paused for a moment, "he was never very clingy or affectionate before, and just suddenly now he is...I don't mind that he's being affectionate, but it's just...I feel scared and uneasy when he is-" his vision jolted up to face Clyde, "Like earlier! When I was walking here to your house, we bumped into each other and he was acting scary and weird as shit! Saying some creepy, things...I don't know, maybe he was joking..." he trailed off, looking back down and fiddling with his sleeves nervously.

Clyde tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Really? That is really weird...he's usually some edgy, cold asshole...What kind of weird, scary shit was he saying?" Tweek furrowed his brow further and clenched his jaw, "Something like...You don't need to be with your friends, I'm all you need, er uh... something like that... I don't know, I was borderline panicking and couldn't catch it all" he looked to Clyde with pure confusion. Clyde gave the same confusion, "That's creepy as shit man, I'm sorry. Have you thought maybe to break up with him?" Tweek froze in deep thought. He's never thought of that and didn't really mind the idea, but maybe it wasn't the best for Craig. Especially what happened over the summer.

The blonde pulled out his phone to look at the time. It read, "7:10". "Ah, I better get going, taco boy, I'll see you tomorrow. Thanks for letting me hang." Tweek rushed out before Clyde could reply or follow him, closing the front door behind him and quickly walking away. He put his earbuds back into his ears and walked silently. "Breaking up with Craig...?" his mind raced with possible outcomes and reactions from Craig, each of them not ending well. This made Tweek nervous so he took his mind off of it by counting the stars in the sky.

Tweek soon made it home safely, walking through the door to be invited by the smell of burnt pasta and strong tomato. His mom was arguing with his dad about who burnt the lasagna, but he couldn't hear nor did he want to. He huffed a heavy sigh and headed to his room after closing the door behind him. Upon entering his room, he locked his door and belly flopped onto his bed, keeping his earbuds full blast in his ears. He didn't feel like listening to his parent's bickering tonight. He just wanted to think about Clyde's suggestion.

Tweek and Craig had been together for 6 years already. Breaking up with him again would only cause him pain and distraught throughout the town. He didn't want that to happen. "Maybe he'll chill out as time passes...I'm sure he just missed me and just really needs the support and affection right now.." Thoughts like these raced the blonde's mind until he eventually passed out from exhaustion.

Our blonde protagonist was able to sleep through the night, but sadly, I cannot say Clyde was able to do the same.
