Ceiling Stars (CREEK/BUNNY)

Chapter VI- Realization

•BUTTERS' POV•

After Kenny had just stormed off, I just stood there staring in the direction he'd left in, as hot tears began to spill from my eyes, though I quickly wiped them away as soon as Tweek and Craig came out of the class and Craig began to ask questions, such as, "Are you okay?" And "Why's Mcwhoredick so pissed?" Tweek was just staring down at his feet, a desolate look in his eyes. This just made me even more upset. 'Why does Kenny have to be so mean to Tweek? He hasn't done anything to him...' With that in mind, I walked over and gently wrapped my arms around Tweek, as the twitchy blond began to apologise,
"I-I'm sorry... I don't exactly know what I did, b-but he must really hate me for it..." He said in a hushed voice,
"Don't be sorry Tweek. It's not your fault, Kenny's just being a big jerk right now." I replied, feeling awfully bad for Tweek.
"I should go talk to him... I-I'm the one he's upset with, so maybe I can try to apologise, and maybe figure out what I did wrong..." I just stared at him for a moment before sighing and giving a small nod in response. 'What could possibly be so upsetting to Kenny to make him hate such a sweet, forgiving, and understanding person like Tweek?'

•TWEEK'S POV•

As I left the school, following in the direction Kenny had left in, I noticed the familiar dull orange colour of his worn out parka, and quickly made my way over to him. He was leaning against the wall at the front of the school, with a lit cigarette in his hand, as he blew the detrimental smoke into the air. I groaned slightly, and furrowed my brows in response to his actions, as I began walking closer to him, "Kenny?" I asked, before destroying my throat with a fit of uncontrollable coughs, as he continued to blow the smoke into the air. He didn't even look at me, and just replied in a monotone voice,

"What do you want?" As he continued to stare off into the distance,
"U-Uhm, are you okay? I-I think Butters is worried about you..." I awkwardly spoke, fiddling with the straps on my backpack. He glowered in suspicion, replying in an irritated tone,
"I was perfectly fine until you showed up." Before dragging on another puff of smoke. I just stood there for a moment, scrutinizing his behavior before asking,
"Did I do something to you?"
He turned to me, with the same exasperated look on his face, and said,
"Actually, yes, as a matter of fact, you did. You get to be with the most amazing person on this planet. Why don't you just go hangout with him? He obviously likes you more than me." ...

'...What?'

"Wha-... Who are you talking about? You mean Butters? I don't-" I said, before being cut off by the familiar voice of Craig Tucker, Butters trailing alongside him,
"Hey Tweek. Kenny, you shouldn't be smoking, smoking is bad for you."
"Shut the fuck up, Craig." He replied, and Craig just flipped him off.
A soft sigh could be heard from Butters, as his expression changed to one of sadness and worry. He walked over to Kenny and gently took the cigarette from his hand, before turning to me and Craig, saying,
"You two go on ahead." Me and Craig just looked at each other, before simply shrugging our shoulders and leaving Butters and Kenny alone to talk.

"And he's basically just a hyper little ball of floof." Craig finished, as I giggled a little at his enthusiasm. It's cute. He was just telling me all about his pet guinea pig, Stripe. And when I say, "All" I mean all. By the time he was done talking, we were already at his house. I turned to look behind us, only to see that Kenny and Butters weren't there...? 'Either they're just really far behind, or they totally ditched us...' After a second of thought, I simply shrugged it off and turned my attention back to Craig, as he unlocked the door, holding it open for me,
"Thank you," I said in response to his polite gesture, as I stepped past him and into the house. He closed the door, and followed behind me, as I immediately made my way to his kitchen, in search for food. I know that isn't the most polite thing to do, but I was kind of starving. Craig chuckled and walked over to me, as I groaned in disappointment. 'No food...'
"I can order something if you want?" He offered, to which I immediately replied,
"Yes, please!" Before blushing slightly in embarrassment, soft laughter being heard from Craig as I did.
"What do you want?" He asked, as he began walking upstairs. I paused for a moment to think, before speaking,
"Uh... Chinese?" I said as more of a question, not really knowing if it was something he'd want. He smiled warmly at my shyness, and replied with a

"Sure," As he continued walking up the stairs, "You coming?" He said looking down at me from over the railings.
"O-Oh, uh, sure! Coming!" I awkwardly replied, before quickly following him upstairs and into his room.

•BUTTERS' POV•

"Kenny..." I started in a hushed voice as Tweek and Craig began walking ahead of us. He didn't say anything, but I felt his gaze on me, so I knew he was staring. "What's wrong? I mean... y-you've been acting r-really, uh... d-ifferent. All day. A-A bad kind of different." I awkwardly stammered, avoiding eye contact. I had calmed down from the events of earlier but it still hurt. He scoffed and looked away after hearing my words and replied in that same irritated tone,
"Wow, I'm surprised you even noticed with him around." I was trying my best to stay calm, but he was just being so mean for no reason.
"Ken, I don't know what your problem is, but Tweek has been nothing but nice to you all day. Could you maybe just try to be a bit nicer?" He paused for a moment before letting out a long sigh,
"You're right. I'm sorry Butters," He replied as he turned to face me, "I was just being selfish. You deserve to be happy." I just stood there staring at him for a moment, with a bemused expression on my face.
'What does he mean by that? I deserve to be happy?...!' That's when it finally hit me... Is he jealous of Tweek?!
