Fool

Chapter one

   It's a snowy day in South Park. Roads are slick, schools are closed, and children are playing in the white precipitation.
   As for the teenagers, they're all collected at Starks Pond for ice skating.
   One such pair are Craig and Tweek, a fake homosexual couple. They are skating around the pond, holding hands and talking about nothing.
   They have been friends since elementary school, and have been faking a relationship for almost as long. It started in fourth grade when the Asian girls started drawing yaoi of the boys, causing a misconception that they were a real couple. They realized that the town was becoming more tolerant of gays since they were a "couple", so they decided to fake it.
   Tweek held Craig's hand tightly, terrified. He had never been ice skating before, and he was constantly loosing his balance.
   Craig however, he was an amazing skater. He could skate faster than anybody else in the town, leap, spin, and even skate backwards. He wanted to take Tweek because he thought maybe it could be nice to teach him, but Craig was getting annoyed.
   "Bend your knees." He says, trying to help. "And slow down at turns. If you speed up, you'll fall."
   Tweek shivers in the cold. "I c-can't do it, Craig! I'm terrible at skating! L-let's just go home." He says, looking down at his feet.
   Craig sighs and leads Tweek off of the ice. Tweek leans down to take off his skates, but Craig stops him. "Come here." He says.
   Tweek slowly steps closer and Craig removes his hat. Tweek is confused, but he realizes what's happening and shakes his head.
   "K-keep your hat, you'll freeze without it." He says.
   "Don't worry about me babe." Craig says and puts the hat on over Tweek's blonde, messy hair.
   He then leads Tweek back on the ice and gently holds his waist, skating backwards. Tweek's cheeks turn bright red, and he can't tell if it's from the snow or the way Craig is holding him.
   "Watch my feet and move yours the same way." Craig says. Tweek obeys and watches Craig's skates, copying the motion with his own feet.
   "There you go." Craig says and smiles. Tweek looks into Craig's eyes and Craig looks into his. The blonde blushes and looks away, but Craig pulls him closer and gently places his hand on Tweek's chin, tilting his head up softly.
   They stare at each other, slowing down on the ice. Tweek raps his arms around Craig's neck, smiling. For once in his life, he's not anxious. The whole world is blocked out and he forgets about the other people at the pond. He feels safe in Craig's arms, and when Craig leans down for a kiss, Tweek straightens his back to meet Craig's lips.
   Craig places his hand on the back of Tweek's head and gently runs his other hand up and down Tweek's back.
   Craig realizes then that this wasn't a fake relationship, and it hasn't been for a long time. He loves this Twitchy blonde. He loves him more than anything. And the way Tweek kisses back tells him that he feels the same.
   Cheering brings the two back to reality, and they pull apart.
   Tweek somehow manages to blush harder and he buries his face in Craig's chest, embarrassed. Craig gives all of the other teens the middle finger and tells them to fuck off.
   "C-Craig, I wanna go home..." Tweek says, his anxiety catching up with him.
   "Okay babe, let me take your skates off." Craig says and leads Tweek off of the ice. Tweek sits in the snow and Craig gets in his knees to untie the skates.
   Once they both have normal shoes on, they get up and walk home, holding hands.
