Chapter 38: Wrapping it up nicely
"So…Craig?"
"I get it, I get it. You don't like me doing that to you. Sorry, jeez!"
Tweek blinked, "I didn't d-do that on, on purpose," he chuckled nervously and coughed to clear his throat, "I j-just was, umm, wondering if…"
Craig looked up at the other boy. He couldn't believe that Tweek was doing this, however, after briefly criticising his own weakness he decided that, well, we could deal with it to be honest.
"D-Do you wanna go to the, the cinema or s-something?"
Craig smirked; so many people were too unspecific for his humour. "To sit on the floor?" he asked.
Tweek frowned, "W-What?"
"Nothing, nothing. Yes, Tweekers, I would love that!"
"Really? Yay…y-you do know I'm umm, ask-asking you out r-right?"
"Yeah." Craig felt bubbly…too bubbly. "I'm glad you were the one to do it. If you left it up to me it would probably never happen."
"True."
After this, plans were made. The two decided that they would go on their date at the end of the day. They had no idea what was on at the cinema so they chose to just 'go with the flow' when it came to picking a film. They agreed, after quite a while of Tweek telling Craig "I'm not, not a fucking girl or s-some shit goddamn it!" that they would divide the amount of money they spent between them. Finally,in terms of eating arrangements, they planned to buy every single type of confectionary they could from the store near Tweek's house and then feast as they stayed there to hang out for the night.
Before the date, both boys were obviously nervous. They didn't know what to wear, what to do with their hair. They didn't know if they smelt good or if they didn't plan well enough or if they should have looked into whether the whole process of them hanging out with one another was caused by a deep coma sleep or some drug induced state of hallucination or not. They were obviously quite worried about the whole thing.
Luckily, the date was one of the few plans that went perfectly and if they weren't actually in reality, they would probably never find out so who cared? It was all great and, at the end of the day, Craig wrapped everything up nicely.
"So…Tweek?"
Tweek smiled at this, "Yes C-Craig?"
"Do you still think that God doesn't love you?"
Tweek's eyes widened, "Umm well I, I don't know. I guess?"
"Interesting."
There was a moment of silence.
"Craig?"
"Yes Tweekers?"
"W-Why?"
"'Cause…I can definitely see some person or other taking God's place so stop worrying about it and knocking people's drinks all over the floor okay?"
Tweek hid a smile with the bite of a lip, "Okay."
The two boys had a brief kiss goodbye, one that they couldn't stop thinking about for the rest of the night and as Tweek watched Craig go, he laughed at the small fist pump the retreating silhouette made.
One day, at work, Craig gave Tweek a tip for the marvellous coffee he was served. Tweek didn't protest the $4.99 and instead gave his boyfriend a kiss, which neither could stop thinking about for the rest of the day.
