Work Text:
It was another restless night for Tweek.
Having insomnia definitely wasn’t his favorite thing but he learned to live with it. He mainly just watched random boring YouTube videos in hopes to fall asleep to them to no avail.
As he was scrolling for something to watch, he refreshed his page accidentally but then the first recommended video that appeared caught his eye.
The thumbnail was Clyde, crying on the sidewalk with what seemed to be a burger scattered all across the floor. It was posted an hour ago and it already had over 5k views, he wasn’t aware that Clyde had a YouTube channel, he was positive he would’ve heard about it by now if he did. When he pressed on the username, he soon learned that it was not Clyde's channel but Craigs.
Most of his posts were about how to take proper care of your guinea pig and some others about whatever he was doing throughout the day. His most recent video was a night vlog, so, like the curious person Tweek was, he clicked on it and watched it.
It started off with Clyde's face a little too close to the camera, “How do you know if it’s on?” Clyde asked, looking around for any signal. “Give me that.” Craig demanded. The camera cut and then it transitioned to Clyde holding the camera, facing the two of them as they walked down the sidewalk. Craig flipped off the camera as Clyde held up a peace sign as if to take a photo.
“You should make this your thumbnail.” Clyde said, puckering his lips to blow a kiss at the camera. Craig rolled his eyes, “We’ll see.” he laughed lightly. A light pink brushed against Tweeks cheeks as he heard the sound of Craigs lighthearted laugh.
The two boys continued to talk about whatever came to mind, it started off with a long rant coming from Clyde at how he was stuck doing a project with Cartman and ended up failing because Cartman didn’t decide to do any work and leave it all for him and he couldn’t finish it in time. Then Craig added onto the Cartman slander, being sure to include the time the main four had landed him in Peru, despite it being almost 5 years after the incident.
“Oh my god guys, we have arrived at McDonalds, finally, after 4 hours of a dreadful walk!” Clyde cheered. Craig laughed at Clyde's dramatic and exaggerated statement. “It was a 20-minute walk down this sidewalk.” He shoved Clyde who laughed along with Craig at the action and regained his balance.
Tweek couldn’t help the small laugh that escaped his lips, it was like their laughs were somehow contagious, maybe it’s because he was close with the two boys.
The video cut to Craig holding the camera, showing himself and then flipping it to show Clyde ordering for the both of them. “I don’t like ordering so Clyde's doing it for me, he has no money so I had to give him some of mine even though I told him to bring his own money.” Craig explained behind the camera, Clyde turned around and gave Craig a thumbs up before the video cut again.
This time, the two were walking on the sidewalk again. Craig was drinking from a straw out of a comically large coca cola cup while Clyde was eating a cheeseburger happily. “Don’t be fooled, this is his third burger.” Craig whispered, removing his mouth from the straw but his whisper was loud enough for Clyde to hear. “Hey! You better cut that part out!” Clyde threatened.
Craig continued to sip his drink, not saying anything about Clyde's threat. “I’m serious, Craig! Don’t post that! Girls will think I’m a total fatass!” Clyde whined, pulling on Craigs sleeve and Craig just looked the other way, smiling noticeably and ignoring Clyde.
The camera cut one more time to show Clyde on his knees, his eyes tearing up and looking at his scattered and deformed burger on the concrete. “Nooooooo!!!” He dragged, whining as he tried to put his burger back together in hopes to save it but it only tore apart more. Craig could be heard trying to stifle his laughs behind the camera. “This isn’t funny! My burger!” Clyde cried, curling himself up into a ball and then the camera flipped back to Craig who had his hand covering his mouth slightly.
Tweek smiled softly, noting how you could see Craigs braces from the corner of his teeth and the way Craigs eyes squinted barely. Tweek felt his eyes become heavy and soon, they shut completely, falling asleep to the sight of Craig smiling and the sound of Craig laughing.
