This story was written at the request of "Myurra-K".


Kenny had always been a guy with many girlfriends, but he had really been overdoing it nowadays. He was seen with a different (attractive) girl every week, sometimes even more than one. Recently, however, he had been getting bored with all the girls. Now he wanted someone else. He wanted Kyle.
Nobody had ever said no to him. He simply looked at them with his big blue eyes (and without his hood, to expose his messy blond hair), smiled, and the girls all melted in front of him. His lack of failure in getting who he wanted made him confident, so he thought that Kyle would also be convinced by the same tactic.
The first step was getting some time alone with Kyle. They hadn't spoken in a while, and Kyle probably missed him, so that would be easy. The harder part would be convincing him to date him, but his tactic was infallible... or so he thought.
The actual relationship would probably be shorter than the time wasted on convincing him, but it would be worth it. Kyle was one of the cutest guys in the school, second only to Kenny himself.
Kyle wasn't aware of any of this, however, as he had other things on his mind. He had finally come to terms with the fact that he was gay, but that wasn't enough for him. He needed to be truthful to everyone and tell them about it. He would never feel comfortable around his friends and family otherwise. Of course, first he needed to tell his parents about it. He had already told Ike, who showed his support over his decision to tell everyone and promised he'd be there when he finally decided to tell their parents. And today was that day.

"This should be an interesting conversation..."

Kyle walked slowly downstairs with his heart pounding in his chest. His legs felt like they were going to give out at any moment. The only thing that kept him going was the thought that, soon, it would be over. He looked around and saw his mother, his father, but not Ike.

"Come on, Ike, where are you?"

"Hey, son."
"H-Hey, dad..."
"Where's your brother?"
"I don't know... He's probably still sleeping."

"Ike, get down here right now before I have a fucking heart attack!"

"M-Maybe I should go check on him..."

Gerald nodded in agreement and Kyle went upstairs to check on his brother. Like he thought, Ike was still sleeping. He had been up all night talking to his friends, so when he heard the alarm on his cellphone going off, he just ignored it until it stopped and went back to sleep. However, Kyle needed him now.

"Ike, wake up." said Kyle as he shook his brother.

Ike groaned in response and tried to open his eyes. The red and pink blobs in front of him slowly turned into Kyle's hair and face, and he jumped once he remembered what he promised.

"Kyle! I'm so sorry!"
"Ike, keep your voice down! Just... let's go downstairs."
"I'm really sorry... Come on, let's go."

Once Ike was able to stand properly, Kyle dragged him downstairs and sat down next to him at the table. Everyone started eating, until Ike suddenly said that Kyle had something he needed to tell them.

"Mom, dad, Kyle has something he needs to tell you."
"Ike!"
"Sorry dude, but I can't stand it anymore. Just tell them and get it over with." whispered Ike.
"Really? What is it, son?"

"Fucking Ike..."

Kyle cleared his throat and stared intensely at the bowl in front of him. Ike grabbed his hand and Kyle held on to it as if his life depended on it. He was really trying to calm himself down, but the fact that Ike made their parents wait for an answer didn't help.

"Mom, dad... I-I-I'm... gay."


After a very long discussion (with some random interruptions from Kyle's hysterical mother), his parents finally accepted it, once Ike stepped in and yelled at them in Kyle's defense. The worst wasn't over, however. He still had to tell his friends at the school. Just thinking about it made Kyle's stomach tie itself into a knot. Thankfully, Ike would be there to help him through it all.


The brothers arrived at the school a few minutes afterward, but the kids were leaving the bus very slowly. Kyle told Ike to keep his mouth shut this time until he was ready to tell his friends. Ike agreed, although he was also somewhat amused by Kyle's embarrassment.

"Why don't you just say it here?"
"On the bus? Are you fucking stupid or something?"
"It was just an idea... No need to insult me."
"...Sorry. It's just that... this is something that needs to be handled carefully."

"I don't know why I thought about doing this. I should've just keep my mouth shut about the whole thing and dealt with some other way."


A few hours later, Kyle and Ike gathered a few of Kyle's friends (without trying to make it look intentional) and started talking about a lot of things. They didn't know what Kyle wanted to talk about, or even that he had to talk about anything, though, so they found it a bit odd that they were all gathered in one place.

"Who is he dating this week?"
"I think it was a girl named Carol or something like that. Does it really matter? Eventually Kenny's gonna run out of girls."
"He'll probably start going for the ones who already have boyfriends when he's done."
"Nah... I don't think so. It could get ugly. Some guys tend not to like it when you mess around with their girlfriends, and Kenny knows it."

"Like he cares..."

"S-So, guys... I have something I need to tell you." said Kyle as he fidgeted.
"What? You're gay or something?" asked Cartman.

"Why the fuck did you come here?"

Kyle was once again regretting his decision and glanced at Ike, with a look on his face that said "I don't want to do this". Ike approached him and patted his back as a way to tell him that it would be OK. That gave Kyle the confidence he needed to finally say what he wanted to.

"...Y-Yeah."

Cartman took a step back and glanced over at Kyle to see if he was serious. After a few seconds, he burst out laughing, having realized that Kyle was telling the truth.

"Wow! So you're a gay ginger Jew from New Jersey... Just when you thought Kyle couldn't get any lower, he-"
"Shut up, Cartman!" yelled Ike. "That's my brother you're talking about, you fat fuck. He's a better person than you'll ever be."
"Look at that, adopted-boy is standing up for his gay brother!" said Cartman with a smug look on his face.

Ike slowly walked over to Cartman and looked at him for a while. Cartman tried to make himself seem bigger, but Ike knew that he was as strong as an eight year-old child. He was about to make another negative comment about Kyle, so Ike delivered a quick knee to the groin. Cartman dropped to the ground and screamed in pain, but nobody stepped forward to help him or said anything about it. Ike turned around and looked at everyone around him for a long time before speaking up for his brother once again.

"Does anyone else need to talk about this?"

The only reply he got was the slow and silent dispersion of the group.
After Cartman managed to get back on his feet and walk away, Ike went back to his brother and gave him a big hug.

"You're very brave. If it were me, I'd just... Well, I'd probably just keep it to myself."

Kyle was comforted by Ike's words and the hug, but he didn't believe what Ike had said. If it hadn't been for him, Cartman would've kept going until he was in tears... and nobody would've stepped in to stop him.

"...It's time to get back to class. Are you gonna be OK?"
"Yeah..."

Ike gave Kyle another hug and went to his class. When Kyle got into the classroom, however, everyone stared at him, watching his every move. He felt very nervous and tripped three times before finally sitting down at his desk. The class was unusually silent the whole time. Even the teacher was affected by all the tension, although she didn't know what was causing it.


ONE WEEK LATER

For the past week, Kyle had been struggling with his friends' reaction to his homosexuality. At first, only Cartman was mocking him, but, little by little, everyone was making a few negative comments every once in a while. They thought Kyle would take it as a joke, but he didn't like it one bit. Unfortunately, they just kept going at it instead of leaving him alone.
However, Kenny didn't know any of this and thought that it would be the perfect time to talk to him.

"Hey, Kyle! Wait up!" yelled Kenny as he ran towards Kyle.

"Now what? Probably just another of my so-called 'friends' who wants to make fun of me for being gay... I don't know why I told everyone... Worst decision of my life..." thought Kyle as he walked away faster.

"Kyle!" repeated Kenny, wondering why Kyle wasn't replying to him.

"That's it. I need to start standing up for myself. Let's see what this guy wants..."

Kyle suddenly stopped, almost causing Kenny to crash into him. Thankfully, the blond boy's reflexes were sharper than most people's. However, he ended up tripping and fell onto the cold, hard ground.

"Ow..."

"Hey, Kyle. I called you twice..."
"...Yeah, sorry, I thought... Never mind." said Kyle as he stretched out his arm to help Kenny get back on his feet.
"What's wrong?"
"It doesn't matter. Besides, shouldn't you be going out with one of your 'girlfriends' or something?"
"Nah. I wanted a break from that... Maybe spend some time with my friends again, you know? I missed you." said Kenny as he stared into Kyle's dark green eyes and smiled.

"God dammit Kyle, you're so fucking pretty..."

"So, what? Are you gonna walk me home or something? Try to catch up on the last six months in ten minutes?"
"...I-I was hoping you'd invite me in so we could talk for a bit longer than that."

Kenny was starting to get nervous due to Kyle's hostility. Since nobody had ever rejected him, he didn't know how to handle it.

"...I'm sorry, I just have a lot of things on my mind right now. Sure, you can come over to my place. Just... try not to draw too much attention to yourself."
"OK... Can I ask why?"
"To be honest, I don't like the way you treat the people you date, and I don't want people to think that I'm gonna be your next ex."
"Trust me, there's no chance of that happening."
"Right..."

Although Kyle said what that he didn't want to be Kenny's next ex, he was lying... about most of it. He really didn't want to be just another person in Kenny's "track record", but he was also very curious about what it would be like.
Kenny's reputation was well known throughout the school, and yet every single girl still wanted him. At first, Kyle thought it was because Kenny was pretty, but nobody was that pretty. The fact that the girls weren't upset about Kenny's actions only made Kyle wonder more about what it was that made him so special. Knowing Kenny, it was most likely some form of addictive (and probably illegal) substance... and Kyle didn't want to try any of those.


"Well, here we are. Home sweet home." said Kyle as he sat down on his bed.
"I haven't been here in like..."
"...Two years."
"Really?"
"Give or take a couple of months, but... yeah."
"And you were counting all this time?"
"When your best friend stops coming over, you tend to notice it."
"I'm your best friend? What about Stan?"
"You were my best friend."
"...What changed?"
"You changed. I don't know what made you think that going out with a different girl every week was anything but repulsive, to say the least."
"Kyle, seriously, don't you know who the hell you're talking to? I've been objectifying women since we were eight. And now you have a problem with it?"
"No you haven't. You always said you would, but when you actually had the chance, you never did it. You always treated your girlfriends with respect... But then you changed. You started taking advantage of them... I expected that from Cartman, not you."

Kenny paused for a brief moment, wondering if Kyle was right. However, he pushed those thoughts out of his head just as quickly as they appeared.

"...Anyway, you said you wanted to catch up, right?"
"Yeah. Of course."
"Well, sit down." said Kyle as he patted the bed. "It's gonna take a while."


Without delay, Kenny sat down next to Kyle and feigned interest in his story. Kyle didn't notice it, though, so he told Kenny everything he thought important. He started with the time Cartman almost made him tell him that he was gay, followed by his first crush on a guy (although he didn't say who it was; simply saying "he's gone") and how he didn't realize it until it was too late, the first time he talked about his family about homosexuality and their various reactions, the first time he told someone that he was gay, and finally how hard it was to tell everyone at the school about it. However, he left out the fact that he was still being bullied at school because of it and simply told Kenny that he was done with his recap.

"That's... a lot less than I expected."
"Yeah, life's been pretty uneventful for me."
"Well, mine isn't exactly very interesting either. Mostly just a few relationships and stuff like that..."

"A few? You've probably dated every girl in South Park!" thought Kyle as he raised one of his eyebrows.

"...OK, maybe 'a few' is a minor understatement."

"Minor... Right..."

"But yeah, that's all that I've been doing. Boring, I know."
"...Can I ask you something?"
"Sure. Anything." said Kenny as he put his hand on Kyle's.
"...You know what, never mind." replied Kyle as he withdrew his hand from underneath Kenny's.

"Playing hard to get, huh?"

"Kyle..."
"Yeah?"
"I kinda lied about why I came here... Well, not exactly lied. I just didn't tell you everything."
"So you didn't want to catch up?"
"No, of course I did! You're my friend... and you're also..."
"...What?"

Kenny quickly put his hands on Kyle's shoulders and pushed him onto the bed. Kyle was too surprised by the whole thing to do anything about it.

"You're also very fucking pretty."
"K-Kenny-"
"Shh... It's OK. Just let Kenny take care of you." said Kenny as he ran his fingers across Kyle's chest.

"Stop..." thought Kyle as Kenny lied down on him.

Kenny placed his lips next to Kyle's ear and started whispering very softly.

"I'm sure you're very curious as to what it feels like... to be with another guy like this... So am I... What do you say we find out?"

Kyle's eyes widened, as he thought that Kenny was talking about sex. However, the blond boy reassured him that he didn't mean it.

"Don't worry, we're not gonna have sex or anything like that..."

"Not yet anyway..."

"S-Stop..."

Kenny didn't believe Kyle meant it, since the red-haired boy wasn't fighting back, so he kept going. First, he started kissing Kyle's neck, moving slowly up to his cheek, and finally his ear lobe. Kyle was still in shock; all he could do was repeat the same message.

"K-Kenny, stop..."

But Kenny didn't. He kept going and was now hanging over Kyle's lips while staring directly into his eyes, waiting for his friend's unspoken consent. However, Kyle was no longer in shock and was finally able to clearly convey the message he intended.

"Kenny, stop. Get off me."

"Still playing hard to get? I guess you need a little more convincing..."

Kenny lowered his face and the boys' lips joined in a tender kiss. At first, Kenny thought that Kyle was enjoying it, since, once again, he wasn't fighting back, but once he broke the kiss, Kyle gave him a quick punch to the face. Kenny was stunned for a brief moment, which enabled Kyle to finally throw him off the bed. Kenny was in pain, but his surprise over Kyle's actions was greater.

"What..."
"...I told you to stop. You didn't." said Kyle as he stood up next to Kenny and once again stretched his arm to help him up.
"...Thanks." said Kenny as he took Kyle's arm and got back on his feet.
"Now you sit over there at my desk and I'll sit over here. If you try something like that again, I'm not even gonna bother asking you to leave."
"N-No, that's OK... I think I'll leave now... It's already getting dark outside."

"I also need to lie down for a while after... 'falling' off your bed, and I don't think you'll let me do it here..."

"Alright then." said Kyle as he walked behind Kenny towards his bedroom door. "Oh, and Kenny?"
"Yeah?"
"I don't want to hear about what happened here. Ever. If you tell anyone, I'll fucking kill you."

Kenny's first thought was that he was immortal, but after looking into Kyle's eyes, he feared for his life. Kyle was really pissed at him for what he did.

"I should apologize." thought Kenny as he took a deep breath to calm himself down.

"Kyle, I'm really s-"

Kyle didn't even bother listening to Kenny. He slammed the bedroom door in his face and sat down at his desk. Although he had told Kenny not to do that again, he had also been enjoying what he was doing. That much was obvious to him. What wasn't clear was why he had enjoyed it in the first place. He was curious, sure, and he had probably found out how Kenny got what he wanted, but that didn't mean he should have enjoyed it so much... He didn't even try to get Kenny off until after they kissed. Although it was probably from the shock... Yeah, that had to be it. Or maybe Kenny was that good at manipulating people. After all, he had been doing nothing but dating multiple girls for the past two years... according to him anyway. Kenny always liked to exaggerate.


Kenny ran home as quickly as he could, unsure of what he was feeling. He had been rejected for the first time in his life, and yet that was affecting him more than it should. There was something else messing with him. However, he just shrugged and ignored those feelings. How could he know if his feelings were greater than they should be if he had never experienced them before?
Besides, Kyle was probably still a bit uncomfortable with being gay. And coming out to everyone couldn't have been easy either. It was probably holding him back. He would just have to try again tomorrow. Kenny wanted Kyle, and he wasn't ready to give up just yet.
