It was morning now. After the rooftop, Craig and Kenny blindly stumbled their way back to their shared room, hugging and bumping into each other along the way. Somehow, they managed to get there and immediately collapsed onto Craig's bed, since it was closest to the door, as soon as said door gently fell shut. They laid like that together, staring into the others' eyes, simply relishing in their presences. Apparently they ended up falling asleep at some point, seeing as Kenny had just woken up and found himself entangled in Craig's warm embrace. He yawned, stretching himself out like a cat, and whined silently. He didn't want to move now, his (totally subtle) fear of abandonment wanted this moment to last, and he was afraid that if he let go and got up, it'd all be over. Of course, thaT was just him being paranoid about the whole thing though. It was all so new and sudden, he didn't really know what to feel at first, but now he felt comfortable.
Safe.
Craig awoke not too long after to Kenny's blue-ish grey eyes staring back at him. He won't lie, kinda freaked him out for a second, but then remembered everything between them that happened these past couple days. He gave a small smile, to which Kenny returned.
"Well, good morning to you too" Craig mumbled sleepily. His voice sounded rough, hoarse almost in the mornings. Kenny shuddered at it and chuckled. He'd never admit it, but he always loved the way Craig's voice changed in the mornings.
"Mornin' Mr. I-Hit-Puberty-Like-6-Times" Craig laughed breathily, he never really noticed that his voice got deeper; he found it kinda funny.
They continued to lay together like that, Craig loving the way the *blond's eyes had some sparkle to them again. He so desperately wanted the others' eyes to stay like that forever. Knowing how much Kenny had gone through, he always felt Kenny deserved true happiness, no matter the cost.
Craig's smile slowly faultered and his eyes fixated on something on Kenny's face. Kenny inwardly panicked for a moment, thinking he'd done something wrong. That was until Craig suddenly leaned forward, arching his left arm for support while the other went to Kenny's hair, and connected their lips together. Kenny felt stunned for a moment, not used to Craig showing such outward emotion, especially lately, but kissed back greedily. It realistically lasted only a few seconds, but to both boys it felt far much longer.
As quick as it happened, Craig pulled away just as quickly and practically vaulted over Kenny off the bed. Kenny was far too tired in the mornings to truly process things correctly, so he just shook his head and rolled over, sitting up and crossing his legs in the process. He gave Craig a puzzled look when the raven haired boy turned back around. Said boy just gave him a big smile and leaned back down to capture Kenny in a quick kiss again. Ok, so obviously Craig was in a very good mood today. Did Kenny mind? Of course not, just not something his was very used to.
"What's with you today, smiles?" Kenny laughed out. Craig stretched his arms out in a "what" motion,
"What, am I not allowed to be happy today?" Craig said as he practically skipped to his bedside drawer, looking for clothes to wear for the day.
Kenny got up this too, stretching out a "no, you right" as his joints popped satisfyingly. He changed into a simple white tee, black plain hoodie and a random pair of pants he picked up off the floor. He pulled a pair of boots out of their shared closet and slipped them on. He turned towards Craig, who was shirtless and very clearly trying to find a specific shirt to wear for the day. Kenny never really paid attention before (liar), but Craig had really nice muscle definition. Trailing his eyes all the way down from his messy void black hair, to his defined shoulder blades that shifted and flexed perfectly everytime he moved, to the perfect dip in his back where his spine was..
"God, he's perfect'
"Oh you really think so?" Craig gave a smug grin behind him, finally giving up and just throwing on a black v-neck, matching black on black of course.
Kenny blushed, not realizing he'd said that out loud. He stammered over his words out of pure embarassment, so got him to shut up the way he knows best. Their lips connected in a soft motion, Kenny's eyebrows furrowing as a small whine of frustration left him. Craig stepped back again and gave a breathy, subtle laugh. Lips still upturned into that hypnotizing grin. It was like Kenny saw him in a whole new light now. Everything he thought was annoying before, like that stupid grin, was now incredibly attractive. It was overwhelming, intense even.
Craig threw his practically iconic blue hoodie on, slipping into his converse as well, and waved his finger behind him in a 'come here' motion as he walked out the door. Kenny blindly followed behind him, Craig slowing down to entwine Kenny's hand with his.
They were happy.
Things seemed to be getting better by the second.
Of course, Craig had to ask though. He furrowed his brows and glanced towards Kenny, who seemed nervous, but always cute with a slight flush to his face still.
"Are you ok with this? I'm not moving too fast am I?" Kenny stopped for a moment to regain his thoughts, Craig pausing with him.
"Of course I'm ok with this. Craig, you should know me by now, that if I was bothered, I'd tell you straight up." Kenny was right.
He'd always been so honest to Craig. Even with his breakdown that week ago, it was like he could tell Kenny already knew the answer. Yet, with Craig's eyebrows still furrowed with doubt and worry, he was then pulled into an embrace. Immediately, as if acting instincts alone, Craig wrapped his arms around him and squeezed. Kenny was always right when it came to this kinda thing. He'd been in more relationships, him now realizing why they never lasted longer than a month, so he's more experienced than Craig will ever be.
They both jumped abruptly at the sudden sound of someone clearing their throat, obvious attempt at making their presence known. Kenny looked up first, his heart pounding in his ears and on high alert. He seemed to have calmed down immediately, though, so Craig turned to see who it was as well.
"Eric! Fuck man, nearly gave me a fucking heart attack" the blond joked out of gasping breaths. Craig stood up straight, instinctively crossing his arms as a guard.
"Hey Ken-man. Craig." Cartman nodded towards him, arms equally crossed. "Right, well what's all this here?"
"Oh, uhh.. 'bout that" Kenny sheepishly rubbed at his opposite arm before intertwining his hand with Craig's, whose opposite hand went to his pants pocket. Cartman looked puzzled for a minute, before doing an exaggerated "oh" motion, nodding his head and all that. Craig noticed the subtle twitch in his nose.
"Well, if you're happy Kenny, then I'll be happy for you" Cartman beamed, then turned towards Craig.
"You hurt him, I'll make you disappear" Cartman was clearly trying to give off an intimidating stance, but all Craig could do was attempt to hold back his laugh and waved him off.
"Yeah yeah, well jf you don't mind we were about to head off" Craig explained. Cartman raised his hands in a dismissive fashion.
"Ah, I gotcha. No no, don't let me hold you up" Cartman grinned. Jokingly trying to snake past them. Kenny laughed at it, shaking his head at them both, noting their strange joking behaviors.
As Cartman waved behind himself and walked off, Craig noticed a piece of paper in his back pocket. He raised an eyebrow for a split second, mainly questioning how in the HELL Cartman moved that quickly without him noticing, then shrugged it off. Making a mental note to check it later. He turned his gaze to Kenny and smiled at him. He then bowed in a joking, half not, manner, and outstretched his arm towards Kenny.
"Shall we?" Kenny smiled at him and let out another small breathy laugh before taking his hand and they continued on their way to wherever Craig was dragging them to.On the opposite end of the hall, a glare fixated on their intertwined hands. A sneer at the two enjoying their day and company together...
