Work Text:
“Craig, are we still good for tonight?” The familiar voice clicked in craigs head, snapping out of his thoughts as he slightly turned to face his boyfriend. The two boys had just finished the final period, people filling the halls as if they were in one big hoard to leave. The day felt like it had dragged on forever, slowing down as a result of the stupidly cold weather.
“Hm? Yeah totally, still at yours right?” His hands were in his jacket pockets, a bag hanging off of one arm. Tweek nodded affirmatively, Yet his eyes looked at craig slightly tinted with concern
“Are you all good though? You’ve been zoning out all day Craig, it's -ack- it's unlike you” Craig thought for a second, something had been up, bothering him. But he didn’t want to cause any trouble for Tweek. Quickly he thought of a way to brush any worry away
“I'm fine, Honey. Just have a bunch of work piled on me, and it's a tad stressful.” His reply seemed to have worked as the boy who had just shown some concern, was now utterly side tracked with the mention of work, rambling on about his art project and how he had to completely restart because he messed up on some important small detail.
Craig enjoyed listening to tweek talk about his day, they didn’t share any classes unfortunately, so they made the most of what breaks they had, along with walking home together most days. Normally spending a good few hours at one of their places, making sure to leave before it got too late since both parents wouldn't allow school night sleepovers. But luckily enough for them, It was a Friday, the two could spend as much time together as they wanted, a blessing for them after a long school week.
The time they'd spend together, it's like they’d be glued to one another by the hip. They’d watch movies, play games, even laugh at the stupid shit Cartman had done throughout the week. Sometimes they’d study together, trying to motivate each other to try hard, one of them starts messing around, the other joins in, nothing productive ends up happening.
Eventually they’d begin to wind down, lay next to each other as they would think about sleeping. Craig waited until Tweek finally began to sleep, he knew he had sleeping problems, and he was there to help him, afterall, tweek helped craig all the time without realising.

The two of them finally made it back to tweeks, it was a bit later than expected, about 6pm. They had made a detour after they left school, they had grabbed some food from some fast food place, for cheap. Then spending some time at a local park, chatting about whatever came to them, playing around as they spent a good amount of time on a swing set.
“Home sweet home!” Tweek threw his bag on his bedroom floor, Craig doing the same. They both sat down on the bed, finally having a chance to just lay down and relax, not having to worry about anything outside of that very room anymore.

A few more hours had passed, the two boys having a quiet night next to each other. The night was cold, yet the sky was clear, the stars lit up the sky, drawing craigs attention to it again, he stared blankly, yet his mind raced, the facade he had up wouldn't last, sooner or later Tweek would realise something more was going on then what Craig had let on.
“Hey honey?” Craig turned to tweek who was scrolling through movies they could watch, a cup of coffee in his spare hand. Tweek turned his attention back to Craig, noticing the tone change in his voice.
“Am i.. Ever too much for you?” Craigs chest felt like it was mere seconds from imploding, a heavy burden weighing him down. Nothing like this had ever really bothered Craig, but earlier in the week, he had gotten into some altercation with some other boy, nothing he wasn’t used to. The boy had said something, Craig said some shit back, flipping them off while he was at it. but after he heard some ass say something that got to him.
How could someone with a personality like that actually deserve to be loved.
He told Tweek what had happened, how he felt about it all, and how it left him second guessing if he really did deserve to be in a relationship with someone as great as tweek.
“I- ngh- you're never too much!” Tweek grabbed Craigs hands which were slightly trembling. All this time, Craig had been the one reassuring Tweek whenever something was wrong, but now it was his turn. His turn to reassure. His turn to tell Craig just how amazing he is.
“Look at me Craig. Dont- ack- dont listen to them alright. You deserve everything!” After finishing what he had to say, he hugged Craig, and stayed there for as long as Craig felt he needed. Even if his arm started to cramp, He’d stay right there until his boyfriend felt better.
“Thanks tweek..” His voice was quiet, his head dug into tweeks shoulder. It was exactly what he needed
“I'm always here for you Craig, just like you are for me.”
