Consider, Kyle as Edd, Stan as Tom, Matt as Cartman, and (early) Tord as Kenny. LISTEN IT MAKES SENSE.

After playing Minecraft with the boys for a while, you decided to go up to your room you shared with Matt.

You plopped down on your mattress and decided you'd find out more about this Mark fellow. You took out your phone and sent a text to the number he gave you.

Y/N: Mark?

Mark: who's this

Mark: oh

Mark: Stephs friend?

Y/N: Yeah.

Mark: Did you tell Edd about me yet

Y/N: No.

Mark: well

Mark: you see

Mark: i haven't seen him in quite a while

Mark: so

Mark: it'd be great to meet up

Mark: you know that pond park thing near his house?

Y/N: Willow Creek?

Mark: one second

Mark: Yeah that one

Mark: Can you get them to come there?

Mark: but don't tell them why.

Mark: I want it to be a surprise!

Y/N: Sure ig. What time?

Mark: let's say 10 am.

Y/N: Got it. Willow Creek at 10 am.

Mark: tysm Y/N 🥰

Y/N: I notice you didn't mention Tom when you said you were friends with Edd and Matt. Should I invite him?

Mark: tom?

Mark: that fucker is still hanging out with the

Mark: sorry

Mark: I just REALLY dislike tom

Y/N: he's my boyfriend...

Mark: that's a shame

Mark: SORRY

Mark: well with a hot girl like you maybe he's changed

Y/N: excuse me

Mark: now listen here

Mark: that was a compliment

Mark: compliments don't count as sexual harassment

Mark: pleas

Mark: I don wanna go back to jail

You laughed. Mark seemed way more open and talkative over the phone.

Y/N: Lmao. So should I invite him?

Mark: Yeah sure

Mark: Again, thanks

Y/N: No problem, dude.

You looked outside. It was dark out. The clock said that it was 9:30. You decided it was an acceptable time to sleep. Edd and Tom were probably already asleep, and Matt was watching some zombie movie.

You set your phone on the ground, not bothering to turn it off, and went to bed, falling asleep quickly.

Tom's POV

After much internal debating with his social anxiety that he tried to hide, Tom decided to go up to Y/N's room to see what they were doing.

He exited his room. You could hear a movie playing quietly from the living room. Matt was sitting on the couch, half asleep.

"Night, Tom." Edd called from his room, where he was brushing his teeth.

"I'm just going up to see Y/N, then I'll go to bed."

"Oooh~"

"Silence, peasant."

He walked up the stairs to Matt and Y/N's room.

It was surprisingly dark. Tom smiled as he saw Y/N curled up on the floor in a pile of their blankets.

"Y/N?"

No response.

Watching them sleep wouldn't be stalkerish, right? He walked closer and then noticed a soft blue light from the ground.

Tom looked down. It was their phone.

Oh.

He shouldn't, right? That would be weird.

But against his thoughts, he kneeled down and picked up the phone.

Who the fuck is Mark?

He vaguely remembered them talking about some dude named Mark Galeson, but the vodka he drank after dinner was affecting his memory, and he could barely remember what the context was.

He briefly skimmed the texts, only noticing the heart emoji and how Mark called Y/N hot.

"Ew." he muttered to himself, throwing down the phone and staring at Y/N.

He stormed down the stairs and went to his room, planning on confronting Y/N later.

Back to Y/N's pov

You woke up earlier than normal. The sun was still coming up, and Tom was sitting by your mattress staring at you.

Wait, what?

You got up, blinking. "Tom? What are you doing up here?"

"Why were you texting heart emojis to some Mark guy?"

"Uh... what?"

"I saw your phone last night, don't try to lie."

"You mean, Mark, Steph's girlfriend?"

"Wait, that Mark?"

"I can't think of any other Mark you'd mean..."

"I didn't text heart eyes to him, dude. Why were you reading my texts anyways?"

He flushed and looked away. "Sorry."

You handed him your phone. "He says he's college friends with you guys. He wants to meet up with you at Willow Creek in a couple hours, but as a surprise."

You then covered your mouth. "I was most definitely not supposed to tell you that."

He gave you a confused look. "We didn't know anyone named Mark." Then he gasped. "Galeson, right? Tall, weird caramel hair, accent?

"Yeah."

He grimaced. "That's not Mark, that's Tord."

"Who's Tord?"

"Well, you don't know much about our group, since Matt didn't join until later. Me and Edd were best friends in high school, right? Then there was this immigrant kid named Tord Galeson. Kind of quiet, always mumbling under his breath about the modern capitalist society."

"Edd felt sorry for him, so he started hanging out with him. They got along pretty decently, but me and Tord did not get along at all. I would always make fun of his accent and the fact that his parents were dead, and he would call my mom fat and call me emo." Tom shuddered at the memory.

"Anyways, halfway though college, Tord had to go back to Norway or whatever, because he wanted to seek bigger and better opportunities in politics. He and Edd would call occasionally, but one day, he just completely went off the grid and we couldn't find him. We kind of forgot about him."

"You mentioning him a couple days back sparked my memory. Y/N, trust me, if he wants to meet us alone as a 'surprise', that's not something good. I never trusted that little Norwegian bastard."

"I don't know, Steph seems to trust him."

"And what do you think are the coincidences that Tord ended up in this city, and just so happened to find a girlfriend that had connections to us? He wants something, I know it. Listen, just tell Edd and Matt the truth about why you're taking them to the park, and be alert for anything he has planned. I'll come with you."

You sigh. "Okay, Tom."
