Why Not Both?

Chapter Ten

Craig was already ready, having dressed a bit nicer than usual. He wore a black button up with the sleeves rolled up and black jeans to match. Along with his hat of course. He was dreading the party, but Kenny usually made it more fun by getting drunk off his ass and that was funny shit to watch. However, Craig was mainly looking forward to time with Tweek.

Tweek pretty much put on a totally holy pair of black jeans and wore one of his mildly tighter green button ups, trying and failing as always to properly button it and leaving his belly sticking out. Whatever.

As soon as he got his gift for Craig that he'd been nervous and excited about giving him, he left home so he didn't have to deal with his parents. He wanted to be gone as much today as possible because he wanted to make his definite grounding worth it. Tonight was going to be good. It was Craig's birthday and Kenny would be there. And maybe he might drink again to make himself not so awkward? When he walked to Craig's, he looked to the door and knocked. He realized he probably should've told Craig he was coming a little early. Craig immediately answered the door, as if he was waiting for Tweek.

"Tweek. Thank god. I thought you were Kenny for a second. Come in," Craig spoke, happy to have alone time with Tweek. His house was already filled with music, snacks, and foods galore filled almost every table. Thankfully, Craig had Bandit looked after for a bit so she wouldn't get into the food or even lick up some alcohol.

"Hey. Craig," he said with a smile. He looked over at Craig. "What would you have done to me if I was Kenny? You guys are so mean to each other."

"Happy birthday, Craig," he told him and moved to give him tight hug. Craig instantly blushed when Tweek hugged him and his  thumped loudly in his chest. He gulped lightly and gently hugged his friend back. "Shit, you're warm."

"Thanks, Tweek...." He spoke softly, taking in his scent as he inhaled. Fiuck, why did he have to smell so good?

"Whoa, it's not a party without me. Come on, guys. Don't leave me out of the sandwich," Kenny hummed, having suddenly popped in Craig's house, hugging Craig and Tweek together. He snickered. Craig was steaming and glaring at him for ruining the moment. Tweek rolled his eyes, used to teasing Craig and Kenny as friends when they were all together. Mostly. He laughed at the comment and shook his head.

"Hello, Kenny," he said playfully and dramatically, even if Tweek actually felt the electricity going through his body at the hug. He enjoyed the idea of that sandwich way too much. Fuck.

"Hey, there, cutie," he replied happily, hugging Tweek tightly in front of Craig. Craig immediately plucked Kenny off of Tweek and stood beside Tweek, almost as if he were guarding him. well, he kind of was. Tweek blushed only a bit at this tight hug before Craig literally dragged him off of Tweek with another slightly frustrated look at Kenny. Why did Craig keep seeming frustrated when Kenny touched him?

"Dude, don't be touchy and gross this time at my party like you always are. Also, please don't set any of my house plants on fire again," Craig told Kenny, remembering past years.

"He set your plants on fire? Why? Are you a plant abuser?" Tweek teased Kenny with Craig and laughed with him. Kenny gasped.

"Why, I'd never! I only freed the poor trapped souls in those dying plants. They were grateful!" Kenny defended himself dramatically.

"They were burning..." Craig replied blankly.

"They were cheering in joy!" Kenny joked.

Tweek grinned and giggled a bit at the two's banter. He really was glad he had these two guys in his life, even as friends. They were the best friends he'd ever had.

"So when did you guys say people were getting here?" Tweek asked, not exactly caring about anyone else outside this room.

"Probably starting in a few minutes. It's basically everyone in our grade sooo..." Craig began before giving Kenny a sarcastic look. "Thanks a lot Kenny."
