Craig's POV
I sit at home with my parents. We hang out on the couch watching TV. None of us are really talking. We're just sitting in the same room, and I think it's awkward if I just get up and leave. So I sit on my phone, playing the new Red Racer game that just came out for iOS. I'm already hooked.
Bzzt Bzzt
I look at the new notification bar that had popped up. 'From StanTheMan'
'Stan snapchatted me?' I shrug and look at it.
There's a picture of him with a smile, I can tell he's trying too hard to look good. There's a caption with it "Hey man"
I chuckle and stand, feeling awkward as I creep out of the living room. My parents don't even look up. I think they forgot everyone else exists. I go to my room and take my hat off. Mimicking him, trying hard to look good. I caption it with "what's up?"
I play with Stripe, awaiting his response.
His response is him giving me the finger, with the caption "Wyd?"
I chuckle, sending a video of me playing with Stripe.
Stan's POV
I blush as I watch him play with Stripe. I realize what has to take place. I look slightly nervous in the next photo, captioning it with 'Hey so, just out of curiosity... do you happen to have a girlfriend, or boyfriend?'
I get nervous as I await his response. As I pace around, sparky comes into my room and jumps on my bed. I smile as I go over and pet him.
Craig's response: "Why?"
I sigh: "Because I was kinda hoping you'd be my boyfriend... I don't know if you're bi, straight, gay, or anything else... I just.. I'm throwing myself in the deep end"
Craig responds: "You want to date me?"
I blush, holding sparky close to me: "Yeah..."
Craig responds with a picture of himself, in this picture he looks... fuckin sexy, for some reason he's lost his shirt. God he's fit...
Stan took a screenshot
Craig: Fuck.
Stan: You sent me the photo
Craig: You're right.
Stan: Why?
Craig: Just giving you something.
Stan: To jerk it to?
Craig: What?! No! Just... ugh!
Stan: My question went unanswered.
Craig: I thought my picture was a good answer
Stan: What was the answer?
Craig: Really? Yes. I'll date you.
Stan: Really!? Wait... you're into guys?
Craig: You thought I was into girls?
Stan: I didn't expect you to want to be my boyfriend!
Craig: Well... Yeah. I do.
Stan: So are we dating?
Craig: Do you want to?
Stan: I asked you, so it's your choice.
Craig: Well then we're fucking dating! Don't make this confusing!
Stan: Well don't offset me by sending me pictures of your exposed chest!
Craig: Heh... it was the heat of the moment...
Stan: I'm not complaining ;)
Craig: Woah dude....
(AN: Can we tell that I gave up and got to the point?)
(Time Skip)
Sleeping that night is hard, I'm too excited. Too happy. Craig Tucker is my boyfriend. I toss and turn for a bit before deciding to listen to meditation. Which helps me finally get to sleep.
The next day I get to school and I see Craig. My face goes red and I get a rush of anxiety. He walks over to me and chuckles.
"Hey there" He says
"H-Hey." I respond, he holds his hand out for me to take it. I blush and hesitantly take it. I swallow a lump of air that got caught in my throat.
"Nervous?" He asks
"Can you tell?" I answer
We go to class hand in hand, the people around us look in awe, he doesn't seem to bothered. He's just living. I guess I'm the only one freaking out.
We get to class and he smiles at me as he goes to his desk. I go to mine and get my things out for class.
Lunch hits and we sit next to one another. This isn't an odd occurrence, we have sat next to each other many times before. This time we're just getting questioned. I tune out, Resting my head on my hand and staring at my lunch trey.
"Stan?" Craig asks, getting close, I blush and my head shoots up, I then relax and look back at Craig.
"Yeah?" I respond
"Is Everything okay?" He asks
"Of course! Wh-Why do you ask?" I respond
"You left me with their fuckin questions, man." Craig states
"You're probably better at answering them any way." I shrug
"I just flipped them off and told them to piss off." He states
"See? You're better at answering them." I chuckle and put my head against the table.
"Are you comfortable?" Craig asks "with... us..." he whispers
I nod "of course I am! I asked you out. I like you. It's just a bit nerve wracking..."
Craig smiles lightly "I like you too." He gets up to go rid of his lunch trey and I follow him to rid of mine as well. He maintains his smile.
"You sure you're just not ready for a relationship?" Craig asks
"I dated Wendy, of course I'm ready for a relationship. Anything is better than what that bitch had to offer me."
"Damn. You've got some mixed feelings about her..."
"For the right reasons"
"Alright, here's a tip, it's what takes away a lot of my nerves,: just pretend we're friends, and act like we're friends, hardly anything has changed except for the fact that we'll be hugging and kissing eventually. We just hold hands sometimes now." Craig states "The other people? They don't matter. Don't give a shit about them or their fuckin questions." He adds "you're gonna be alright, okay?" He finishes.
"Yeah, Yeah okay." I respond, smiling lightly, kissing him and hugging him seems like a pleasure, though as much as I want those things I have to wait. Hand holding will suffice for now. His hands are pretty nice. His hands and mine fit together really well. I'm so glad he said yes, that I get this experience. This is one roller coaster ride I am excited for.
