(Admin : hi! Please read the description before you diss this! Ty! ^^)

Tweek  hummed happily as he hastened his speed to his boyfriend's house, Craig. The blond could not wait to hang out at his place and sleepover because of how busy school and exams were. Since the exam month has finished, he and Craig discussed and planned on hanging out over the weekend and do netflix marathons and play videos all day and they also planned on eating a ton of junk food until their stomachs break. Tweek's hand gripped the handle of the bag full of low nutritional packaged junk food and coffee beans. His parents worked at a coffee shop, which is mostly why he loved coffee, especially how his father made it. Besides Craig Tucker being his favourite person on earth and in any planet, his third on the list would have to be Craig's guinea Pig, Stripe, and Craig's furry companion ever since he had it in grade four. It had a brown base coat with white stripes around the back and belly, pink nose and black soulless, but adorable eyes.

     As his mind distracted him, his body slammed into a wall, making him jump in shock until he noticed the door number that Craig lives. Fixing his hair and goofy smile, he knocked on the door. A few seconds later, a kid with orange hair with pigtails opened the door with a puzzled look.

"Tweek? You came early," The girl sang, her lips curled into a warm smile.

"Hey Tricia," The blond greeted his boyfriend's little sister timidly, "Can I come in?"

"Oh, uh..." Tricia's lips bridged back down into a frown, hesitantly she said, "Are you here because of Craig's emergency call?" She asked, but Tweek's face formed into confusion.

"Wait what? What call?" The man pulled out his phone out of his pocket, a lot of spam messages calls from eight hours ago. How did he not notice? Well, to be fair, he muted his calls and texts to do not disturb because of his lack of sleep, so he decided to sleep early so that he isn't late. He should've checked his phone this morning, but he was too busy getting ready and prepared for the sleepover date. Tweek's nose scrunched up and looked back at Tricia with concern.

"What happened to Craig?? Did he get hurt? Was there blood? Bruises? What-"

"No, he didn't get hurt..." Tricia cut Tweek off, then she moved out of the way. "You should, uh, go see for yourself," The ginger escorted the blonde inside. Tweek's footsteps hit harder on the tile floors to Craig's room. When he opened the door, pages from books were everywhere top to bottom as if a savage animal ruined his room, and tissues were scattered on the floor,all scrunched up. A head popped out of the blankets, revealing a taller man with watered, bloodshot eyes.

"Honey?" Craig said, yawning and then stretching.

"Babe!" Tweek exclaimed, running towards the raven haired boy. "What happened to you?"

"I-It's nothing," He sniffed, "It's nothing at all," His frown formed into a bitter smile, hardly noticeable that it was a fake one and Tweek wasn't having it.

"Seriously, what happened? Please, tell me the truth." He said firmly. The larger man sighed sharply, a serious face formed and he started to tear up again.

"I-It's about Stripe.." He replied, his monotone voice became more emotional and full of empathy. "Last night, I tried to feed him seeds and cold water, but he refused to take any of them. I thought it was strange, but later on I heard him wheezing strainly and that's when I noticed he couldn't breathe properly.... that's when.. I was too late."

Tweek's face twisted in horror. One step closer to Craig, he said softly,

"S-so that means..."

"Yeah," Craig said, getting the gist what the blond was about to say as tears trickled down his cheeks, but he pulled his blue hat down to hide his sad face.

"Craig.. I..." Tweek began, but was abruptly interrupted.

"I need some space. I-I'll see you on Monday, honey." The raven kindly pushed Tweek out the door and closed it. As Tweek was about to open the door, there was a click sound.

"This is terrible..."

"Hey Tweekers, have you seen Craig lately? He's been absent for a whole week." Kyle's voice made Tweek snap back to reality, realizing he dozed off in his own coffee place and sitting in front of Kyle Broflovski and Kenny McCormick, their lips sipping on their cups of coffee and latte. Blinking rapidly, he forced a smile and replied,

"O-oh no I haven't... I-I wonder why." Tweek sadly frowned and sighed. Kenny and Kyle looked at each other in confusion, then the man in the orange hood decide to break the silence,

"Hey, is something wrong? Wait, did you and Craig break up!?" Kenny's back arched forward at Tweek closely face to face, but Kyle pushed him down with a shove and his hand striked at Kenny's head.

"Sheesh, stop accusing crap! You're making him nervous," Kyle let out a growl as Kenny looked back at Tweek with an apologetic and shameful frown.

"N-no it's fine.. it's something else that happened to Craig." Tweek frowned even more than Kenny's unhappy, sad frown.

"Well," Kyle took another sip of his black coffee, "what happened then?" He asked, Kenny's eyes also open wide in curiosity.

"Stripe, his pet, he... Passed away."

"Ah? He stayed absent for a dumb guinea pig-"

Before Kenny could finish his sentence, Kyle hit him in the arm and shot a icy glare. "Oh, I mean," His words retreat, "Sorry." Was all he can say.

"Craig must've been super sad, huh?" Kyle said.

Tweek sighed, "Yeah... He cancelled our sleepover date, but ugh I should've supported him sooner. I didn't even notice his emergency calls last night. I'm a terrible-nnghh person!" Tweek gripped his hands onto his hair and started pulling it, but Kyle prevented it.

"H-hey now, no need to panic," He cooed, "Why not buy Craig a new pet? I mean, all guinea pigs are the same." Kyle suggested. A lightbulb shined on top of Tweek's head, then he smiled brightly.

"Oh my lord!-- Kyle, you are a genius! Our anniversary is coming in a few days! I gotta go, see ya!" After that, a dash of blurr rushed out of the door, just like that.

"Woo, go Tweek!"

"Shut up Kenny."

A couple days passed, Craig looked like his normal, monotone self lately and today is their second anniversary. Crying of laughter and joy, Craig held his stomach as if he is in pain.

"Oh my god, that was freakin' hilarious! Make that face again!" Craig pleaded. Tweek

chuckled, "Fine fine, but this time, close your eyes."

"Hm? Is it a kiss?"

"N-no! It's way better than that, trust me!" Tweek couldn't help but blush at his remark, but Craig obeyed and his hazel eyes closed tightly. A few minutes passed, Craig felt a familiar softness snuggling in his arms. Surprised, Craig flinched his eyes open and darted down to his arms.

No. Way.

"Surprise!" Tweek chirped happily, smiling even more than Craig's sheepy smile.

"You got me a guinea pig?! A-after what.. What happened?" Craig still looked at the sleepy guinea pig with disbelief.

"Y-yeah I had to... I felt bad that I did nothing when Stripe died.. So, this is the only way to appreciate my love for you, babe. Thank you."

Tweek's smile was gentle and sweet. Craig laughed bitterly, "Tweek, you didn't have to do this."

"I did anyway." He teased, but Craig rolled his eyes and gave Tweek a peck on the cheek.

"Ugh I love you so much."

"I love you too. So, what will you name her?" Tweek looked at the guinea pig with excitement.

"Stripe."

"What?! Another guinea pig named Stripe Seriously?"

"Yep."

THE END.
