Why Not Both?

Chapter Twelve

After a bit, they all went about school and whatnot for a couple of weeks like normal. Tweek walked into school, having become pretty content with the idea of Craig being with Wendy. He didn't ask much about it anyway and Craig didn't talk a lot about relationship stuff to begin with, unless Kenny teased it out of him.

In fact, the idea of Craig and Wendy honestly made it a little easier to focus the attention that had been wavering between Craig and Kenny. He'd internally known Craig was straight since he broke up with him in kindergarten. He'd been internally preparing for this forever, especially when he decided to be Craig's best friend, pretty constantly around him. It had originally caused those unrequited feelings to come back every now and then, but now, he'd gotten way over it and used to it. He loved Craig as a friend and that's all.

He'd been more romantically focused on Kenny and he knew Kenny flirted and messed with so many people, but he was a genuinely sweet guy. He'd proven that to Tweek the night Tweek had been raped and Kenny and rushed down to help him and did everything he could. Tweek was trying not to let himself fall totally for Kenny, but when he came into their first period class every morning and flirted consistently with Tweek, he couldn't help himself. He was slowly falling for this asshole. He wasn't in love yet, but he was going to get there one day, he was already sure.

"Hey, guys," Tweek greeted Craig and Kenny. This morning was no different. Tweek waved them both good morning, chugging his just brewed burning coffee.

"Hey, Tweek!" they both responded, blushing at the fact they both had said that simultaneously. The shorter blonde laughed s bit at their antics. Then, Kenny smiled and slid into the spot next to Tweek.

"Hey cutie, you look like you slept well last night." he teased, resting his chin on his hand and looking at Tweek happily. The shorter turned his attention, and his entire body, to Kenny.

"Do I now?" he asked with actual wonder. Did he ever look like he had slept at all? Then, when he met Kenny's eyes and the way he looked a bit like an adorable puppy looking at Tweek, but like a very sexy puppy who was looking at Tweek. Kenny blushed lightly, taken aback by that look that Tweek gave him. It made him hot in places he didn't know someone could easily make him hot.

"Y-Yes. Anyways, Craig and I and the gang are going camping this weekend, if you wanted to join," he offered and smirked playfully at Tweek. "We could even share a tent."

"Ack-s-sure. Uh, as long as I have coffee while camping, I'll be fine," Tweek said and blushed a bit at him at the mere idea of sharing a tent with the Kenny McCormick. With that suggestive smirk he was already imagining things that probably wouldn't happen. Kenny was clearly teasing. "Craig, are-are you bringing Wendy?"

"Um, probably not. Just want to hang with the boys. I don't know. She's been asking," Craig said blankly, seeming to not even want to spend time with Wendy.

"Oh, why don't you bring her? Not that I'm like forcing you or whatever," he said, unsure of why he'd asked. It wasn't like it really mattered and it wasn't his business.

Craig shrugged. He didn't really want to reply to that. He was sure Tweek didn't sound even a bit jealous and that made him kind of sad. Fuck.

Tweek gave Craig a weird, concerned look before he glanced back at Kenny, who was still looking at Tweek.

"Do I have something on my face? Is it coffee?" he asked, rubbing his face with his long sleeve. "Wait, when you guys say camping, what does that mean exactly? Is there going to be coffee? Like a coffee maker or do I need to bring mine that I keep in my room? I think I can only handle the dirt and bugs if I have coffee."

"Nope, there's nothing. Just a cute angelic face with a hint of freckles," Kenny informed him with that same look. Tweek gave Craig yet another worried glance about the Wendy thing, before he was suddenly distracted so easily by Kenny's playful compliments. Tweek blushed a bit and bit down a grin.

"Who's this angelic face? Are you flirting with yourself again, Kenny?" he teased with a smirk of his own.Kenny blushed lightly.

"Ah-Hey! Only I can flirt with people, Tweek. That's my speciality. You can't do it back!" Kenny whined. Craig was staying silent. He didn't want to join. Well, more like he couldn't join it and that look that Tweek was giving Kenny was hurting him. Why did this have to happen? Goddamn it.

"I'm a free person. This is 'merica! I can do what I want," Tweek said through a laugh and his grin grew way wider. "And who said it's Kenny's specialty anyway, besides you?"

"Ah...touché..." Kenny replied, laughing with Tweek. This camping trip could give him more time with Tweek. He was super excited."Oh, yeah. I didn't explain. Basically, we are going to Cartman's lake house-place. His parents are rich as fuck and we are all going there to party it up. Since Spring Break is next week, we basically have all weekend and next week to use for free time."

"Sounds like fun that needs lots of coffee," Tweek responded as he sipped his own coffee. "My parents are going to kill me for leaving for so long.. it honestly doesn't matter if I tell them, they wouldn't let me go, anyway... I'm definitely coming, though. Fuck my parents."

Kenny didn't really talk about his parents and he didn't want to. The thought was already making him give a blank expression, but he soon covered it up with a smirk.

"Yeah? Yay! I can't wait to hang with you! We can even prank the other guys," Kenny said excitedly.

"Do it and you're dead," Craig replied to Kenny and Tweek with a stern gaze.

"You can't tell them we're going to prank them before we prank them, Kenny! That's not how that works. Now that shaving cream on Craig's sleeping face thing won't be a surprise," he smirked and raised a brow between Craig and Kenny. Tweek giggled at the two. He was so happy to have these two in his life. He also loved how much more comfortable teasing Kenny (and Craig?) he was.

"Oh, right. Fuck," Kenny said with a laugh. Craig only rolled his eyes and shook his head. He was ready for the fucking day to be over with. Craig was already dreading this stupid camping trip.

"Bye, Craig! See you in a couple periods!" He said with a smile to Craig. When the period ended, Tweek moved to wave to Craig goodbye and knew that he and Kenny had the next period together, so they'd been walking together to classes for awhile now. He looked up at Kenny. "Ready?"
