Wanting Something Real (A Twyle Story)

Chapter 34

*This takes place a few days before Kyle's prom*

Kenny's POV

This past week has been honestly the worst. How I've been able to 'keep everything together' knowing that my Butters, who I thought would never look at me with such disdain, thinks of me as public enemy number one. All because his best pal is going out with someone who 'rubs me the wrong way'. The more I think about all of these feelings and suspicions towards Kyle is solely based off of jealousy. That's right, the Kenny McCormick is throwing a hissy fit over some upper class kid who waltz into our school with this 'I'm better than you', 'sorry not sorry' attitude. I was raised dirt poor and had to work twice as hard to get anything I wanted in life. I couldn't count on my parents for much help for anything. Everyone in towns knows how loving Kyle's parents are. They're the only couple who has adopted a child to expand their family. Do you know how expensive it is to legally adopt a baby and all of the paperwork that comes along with it. My confidence didn't just come over night. It took years for me to finally think I was worth something in this world. Also that someone would be willing to love me beyond my good looks.

Tweek was obviously able to find some redeeming qualities about the guy. Maybe if I had known Kyle when we were kids I would have been accustomed to all of the perks he seems to automatically get just from being a Broflovski.

David and Butters had been passing notes while we were supposed to be filling out our worksheets for U.S. history. Which I had been struggling with since Butters has been giving me the cold shoulder. He was the only one at our table who would go out of his way to help me with the work. If you can't tell I'm not the smartest when it comes to any proper school curriculum. Electives were my bread and butter. Woodshop and P.E. being my best subjects I could do on my own.

Anyways, since I wasn't too invested in getting my packet done I had no problem taking glances at the paper being passed between the two boys. They must not be at the texting level of friendship with having each others contact info in their phones. That would have been the most logical thing to do in my opinion. On the other hand Butters is always super conscious to have his phone out during class. He'll only have it out during passing time between classes and lunch which in the end didn't turn out to be much free time on his part. Butters had the habit of spending any extra time he had solely on me. This consisted of holding on to any part of my body or any other way of showing affection; rustling his fingers through my hair, planting kisses on my face, and cuddling into my body heat. These actions are mostly associated with pets, not that I never minded. Recently not being touched nonstop by him has been driving me crazy.

My point is that he is always paranoid about getting caught which would ultimately lead to getting grounded. That kid had low confidence from constantly getting in trouble for the most nonsense reasons. That was the first thing we both realized that we had in common. Everyone always knew Butters as a push-over and could pretty much get him to do whatever they asked of him. Myself on the other hand was easily labeled at the guy who would always 'go with the flow'. Nobody realized that I just didn't find myself deserving enough to have my own opinion on any matter that anyone would discuss and it was just easier to go along with what everyone else was saying.

Wow, I can't get through a single thought without going on a tangent about Butters. It's safe to say that he's continuously on my mind. Long story short, I was able to read enough of their paper conversation to get the idea that Kyle was going to ask Tweek to his high school prom at Tweek Bros. Coffee with the help of both of them. Of course Butters was willing to go above and beyond to help Kyle if the end result was having any sliver of participation in a night that Tweek wouldn't forget. Once the bell rang to signal the end of class I tried to meet eye contact with Butters, every time would be the same result; he would look at me sadness in his eyes and shake his head slowly before he tore his gaze away from me. It never got easier to see Butters this way and I would find myself taking my anger out on my locker. Slamming the door loudly without a care who I disturbed. This time though caught Craig's attention.

"Geez McCormick, what's got your panties all in a bunch?" I knew he was only trying to snap me out of my funk but I was still upset over Butters. The words came out without me processing how Craig would ultimately react and I wanted to take them back as soon as they flew out of my mouth.

"Just my new normal, Butters has no problem going out of his way to help Broflovski ask Tweek to his schools prom." He casually leaned against his locker without a care in the world. A mischievious grin plastered on his face. There's that look again.

"Oh really? He thinks he can come into our town unannounced to parade Tweek around at his fancy boarding school? , he's got another thing coming."

"Ok Craig, I totally understand you not liking this guy, trust me he's on my list but are you really going to ruin what appears to be the first good thing that Tweek has going for him right now?"

"Are you hearing yourself right now? You think I'm going to feel any remorse for ruining Kyle's chances with Tweek when Kyle made me look like a big doofus at his school for not 'locking him down' when I had the chance? My life has gone downhill ever since Tweek cut me out of his life. You really expect me to think that Kyle had nothing to do with that? Everything was fine before he showed up." Well, it's nice to know that I'm not the only one jealous of Kyle. Craig has gone completely mental though. He makes my jealousy feel petty compared to the total hatred he's going to harbor over Kyle for ruining his reputation. Clyde was always portrayed in his friend group as the guy who's sensitive about what people think about him and everyone thinks that Craig doesn't care about anything but turns out he's the superficial one. "So where's the grand gesture of prom asking taking place at?" Craig kept pestering Kenny for more information. Typical Kenny was so smart, and so slick. He thought up a lie and he thought it up quick.

"Oh you know Starks Pond, there where every sappy event seems to go down for all the couples in South Park." Craig started to walk away from Kenny, calling out a "thanks dude" as he made his way to his next class. "Yeah sure, good luck with that." Nice kid, bad judge of character.

Maybe Kyle isn't that bad after all.

Maybe Butters was right all along.

Ok, so I've been wanting to start a Bunny fanfic. I'm torn on who Butters should start his relationship with first then will eventually end up with Kenny. Here are the two options.

Cartman

Kevin (Kenny's older brother)

The one with Cartman will take place with all of the boys being in their mid twenties. The one with Kevin will be where Butters is still in high school. Let me know what you guys think.
