~Creek~ Emotion(less)

~Part 11~

No one's POV

Once the film was over, Tweek began to think about the events of that day. One particular conversation stuck out to him.

Craig had called him 'Tweekers' ? What was that about? Tweek was beyond confused at this point, yet decided to keep quiet. For now at least, he'd ask later. He didn't want to stress himself out.

Instead, he buried himself back into Craig's side and wrapped his arm around the rave haired boy's stomach, resting his head on his chest.

Tweek could've sworn that he felt Craig's heartbeat speed up but figured it was either his imagination or because of the film.

However that was far from the truth. Craig had noticed that Tweek moved and positioned himself in a way that was somehow closer that before, practically clinging to him.

Craig could feel his face get hotter and hotter, his palms where sweaty (knees weak, arms are heavy) and he could feel his pulse speed up.

'Why does he make me feel this way? Why have I never felt this before? What even is this feeling?' Craig had so many questions, but it's not like he could straight up ask Tweek "What are you doing to me?" that would panic him.. But he needed to know what was happening.

Token! He could ask Token what he was feeling. Token would always help with his problems, he was the mother of the group. Of course he couldn't just call him and ask while Tweek was round so he'd have to call him once Tweek had left.

----

"Why did you call me that earlier?" Tweek asked, sitting crossed legged on the floor watching as Craig fumbled through a stack of video games.

"Huh?" Craig had a blank expression on his face but was deeply confused by the light haired boys question.
"You uh- you called me Tweekers earlier today..."
"What?" Craig looked up at Tweek and raised an eyebrow.
"You called me Tweekers? Where did you get that from? No one's ever called me that before..."

Craig rubbed the back of his neck trying to think of an answer.
"Uh- Cartman called you it??" Craig said his reply sounding more like a question than an answer.

"One, who's Cartman? Two, if I've never met him then he wouldn't have come up with any other nicknames aside from, Twitch, Spaz, R-tard or Freak. So tell the truth." Tweek walked over to Craig and pulled him up, staring him dead in the eye "Where. Is. The. Nickname. From?"

"Why are you making such a big deal of this?" Craig barked back at him, turning away and sitting back down.
"Because I want to know, I'm curious."
Tweek smirked after seeing Craig's face reddening. "Why are you blushing?"

"I'm not!" Craig spat back covering his face with the hood of his jacket. Tweek poked at his back and giggled,
"yes you aaaare! Are you embarrassed Craigyyyyyy?"

"No! Piss off!" By now he was just trying to find time to calm down and get his face back to its regular complexion.

Tweek jumped back, startled at the tone of voice the other boy took to him. "O-ok, s-s-sorry C-Craig" Tweek stood up and grabbed his bag from beside the bed and walked out.

"What have I done? He's going to hate me!" Craig walked over to his desk, sat down and slammed his head so hard into the table that his forhead had a tiny cut. "I'm such a fucking idiot..."

----

*dial tone*

"Hey Craig, what's wrong?"
"Why do you always assume there's something wrong?" He rolled his eyes at this
"Maybe because you only ever call me when you want advice on something." He was right, but Craig wouldn't admit that. He was far too stubborn.

"Oh shut up Token. You gon' help me or nah?"
"It would help if I knew what this was about..."
"Well duh, meet me at Starks Pond in 10, I'll explain everything there"
"Dude, it's late and we have school tomorrow."
"I don't care, if you don't show up then you'll regret it." Craig angrily whispered the last part.
"Is that a threat" Token rolled his eyes and walked over to his wardrobe to find some suitable clothes for the cold weather.

"No, it's a promise, now get your ass down to the pond."

----

"Dude, what is this about? I'm tired." Token yawned after finishing his sentence, for effect.
"It's about Tweek."
"Uh- isn't he the new kid?"
"Yes." Craig kicked at the dirt on the floor surrounding the old wooden bench they where sitting on.

"Right, ok and?"
"I keep getting this weird feeling when I'm around him, I can't explain it so I was hoping you could tell me what it is." Craig started to twiddle his thumbs due to the fact this was one of the only times he'd let himself be vulnerable in front of his friends.
"Well explain the feeling..."
"Well, with the slightest gestures he makes my chest go tight and makes my stomach feel all weird or tickly, when he leans against me my pulse speeds up and and when he twitches it makes me laugh..." Craig let go of a breath he didn't realise he was holding. "My face gets hot around him too, I only met him a few days ago... Whdsts happening?"

Token sat idle on the bench, his bottom jaw on the floor, wide eyes staring directly at Craig.
"I- Craig I don't know how to tell you this..."
"Just say it."
"I think you like him.."
Craig looked at Token with a look that screamed 'well duh'
"Obviously I like him, he's my friend.."
Token face-palmed and groaned so loud the whole of South Park probably heard it.
"NO GENIUS! YOU HAVE A CRUSH ON HIM!"

"what.?" Craig felt his heart drop in his chest, there was no way he liked Tweek in that way... Surely not.

"You. Like. The. New. Kid."

'Oh my god'
