Chapter 25- Clyde Ruins The Moment Once Again

Like an awakening call, the spontaneous bell ringed out; alerting each student to head to their classes. Both Craig and Tweek were startled by the noise; the warm feeling swimming around the two faded effortlessly. 

Craig stood up, his gaze shifted from Tweek to the door. As for the restless blonde himself; he closed the once opened science textbook and scooped it up. 

Now that Craig thought about it, everything felt a bit lighter by now. Normal in other words. It was nice too see Tweek didn't freak out over their previous conversation. In all honesty, he kind of expected him to do so. Maybe it was a sign that everything was going to go okay, and smoothly. Craig finally felt like he was in control again; but he had to be careful not to jinx anything. Today was basically a life or death situation, for both of them. After a moment of his thoughts, Craig looked back over at Tweek. The washed out lights illuminated a white tinted light above them--almost as if they were broken, blinding bright Christmas lights. 

Without another word, the two walked out of the science room and down the hallway. The once obnoxiously loud corridors died down in a quiet chatter. The school lights reflected onto the marble floors below. Surprisingly, the tardy bell hasn't ringed yet. Apparently the students that remained in the hallways had a few extra minutes to spare talking to their friends. Once the two passed the bathrooms, Tweek used his free hand to tug on the sleeve of Craig's royal blue, colored jacket.

"Were...were you joking about what you said back there?" He asked, his eyes looking over at Craig, then back infront of him. 

The midnight haired boy let out a quiet sigh. It wasn't Tweek's fault his personality was like this--meaning always weary if something was meant to be a joke or not. Maybe he was too sudden with the small confession? Well, the whole 'lovey-dovey' feeling was a bit quick to develop. But, it didn't feel too wrong to have these feelings. As Kenny once quoted to him; "All's fair in love and war." Except for this situation, the war part was with him and his sanity. 

Finally after a pause, Craig answered: "No."

The strained look on Tweek's face rested into a slightly relaxed one. "So...you really meant it?"

"Yup."

Tweek released the grip he had on Craig's sleeve, and made yet another small smile. A warm feeling bloomed inside his chest; almost as if someone set it on fire, and it was just starting to turn into a fully ignited one. Wait, could that actually happen to someone's organs?

Suddenly, a slightly heavy weight leaned onto both Tweek and Craig, one arm wrapping around their shoulders. "Hey Craiigg," A voice, almost similar to Craig's singsonged. "Hi, Tweek."

Craig knitted his eyebrows together, brushing off the hand of their uninvited guest. "Hey, Clyde." he replied sourly. Tweek panicked next to him.

Clyde removed his arms from around the two and wedged himself in between them. "Since when did you start walking to class with Craig?" he asked Tweek, giving the blonde a strange stare. Tweek only shifted uncomfortably underneath Clyde's glance.

"Since today." Craig answered for the intimidated blonde, shooting him a quick, slightly worried look. 

Before the taco-loving boy could make another snarky remark, Craig shoved him out of the middle of the two, accidentally elbowing Tweek in the process. With a glare from the said boy, Craig rolled his eyes. "Clyde," he said.

Looking over at pair--to whom have now stopped walking--Clyde raised a brow. "What?"

"Could you go make-out with Bebe or something, and leave us alone?" Craig spat, his cold gaze never leaving Clyde's brown eyes.

With a scrunched up face, Clyde gave the two a disgusted look. "With that thot? Hell no." And with that, he turned on his heel and walked away from the two; possibly to find Token and force him to listen to his problems.

Says the one who's dated her for atleast 2-years, Craig thought. A somewhat smirk finding its way onto his face.

Tweek noticed this, but chose to ignore it. It wasn't like he wasn't used to Craig being a bit of a jack-ass.

As the two stood there for a while, Craig nudged Tweek as he began to walk down the hallways once more; which Tweek soon joined by his side. From there to the classroom, it was like the two were glued together. Inseparable. Although the two often got a weird look here and there--one coming from Kyle Broflovski and Stan Marsh--Craig didn't care. The only thing that mattered to him at the moment, was the boy who managed to find the key to his small, stone-like heart. Decoy or not, he didn't care. As long as he had Tweek Tweak by his side--relationship wise or not--he was alright.

For now, atleast.
