Chapter Text
Tweek is… well, he's confused.
Craig is a lot more clingy than he previously thought. And he didn't even think about it! That's how much of a shock this news is! He'd taken it for granted that Craig wasn't touchy!
Every time Tweek saw the boy in the halls he was a fair distance from everyone, and when Clyde or Red tried to hug him, they always got shoved away with no remorse. It wasn't a big deal, but when they got paired together he feared that if he simply touched the other by accident, he'd get lasered.
The two didn't interact much before… before all this. But they still had an inside joke of the fight. Being stuck at the hospital for a week they had to talk eventually. And that eventually was when they watched Red Racer together. He found out Craig was a big fan of it. Like really big fan, he might as well be the number one biggest fan.
Tweek usually just had the series in the background so he knew jackshit about it, after he asked to explain the plot. Craig just forgot all the grudges he kept for the blond.
It was kinda funny, or it would've been, if he wasn't panicking.
So after that they shifted their terms to friendly instead of being passive-aggressive-every-time-i-see-you type of dynamic. At least, the few times they saw each other, they were friendly! So he didn't have to bother about a possible assassin coming for his eyeballs!
...
Until he did have to worry. Until the Asians tried to make them a couple and all those fucking terrible drawings became mainstream in their little town. They suck! They are horrible and they think Tweeks is a girl! He's not a fucking girl! He has a penis! He's sure of it! So he panicked again! Just fucking fantastic that it was.
And The worst part? Craig was mad.
Now, he's usually not scared of people, but mad people? And mad at him? What if they send someone to kill him?! And before, he saw Craig like the stereotypical quiet kid that thinks a lot. He's seen all those movies where the quiet ones become a semi-demi-ultra-gods just to smite you! He didn't want that!
But then, Craig said he believed in him to act. He forced the scared boy to look at his emerald eyes and said in his normal shitty monotone voice, that he, believed in Tweek Tweak. And he couldn't let Craig down after that.
And he didn't! he acted, everyone believed his lie. And Craig was right. He could do it. He fucking did it! He did in front of everyone, and they got fooled, by him.
But then Craig got sad. And he couldn't leave the boy like that in good conscience, maybe Tweek did go slightly too far with his acting. He wanted Craig to feel as happy as he felt after that fiasco, but he respected the other and his space. So when he didn't want to get together again for everyone's sake, Tweek left.
While walking to school the next morning the very same boy who rejected him, offered him a silent plea to take his hand, with that same plain expression he always had worn. All without looking at him.
It was the first time he thought hallucinations might be a thing. But when his hand touched the other, it was real.
And now here they are. At Clyde's house, with him having a sleeping Craig attached to his hip.
He did not expect Craig to be so Clingy even in his sleep. Now, he's not saying it doesn't make a chuckle come out of him. Because it does. And he's not saying he doesn't like it. Because he does. It's just… slightly conflicting.
…
Ok really conflicting.
When he asks about it, Craig just... doesn't remember it. So would that mean he's being possessed?? Or he is ill? Is it memory loss? Why wouldn't he remember? Maybe the god of guinea pigs in him is trying to take control and kill Tweek cause he's homophobic! Oh god he can't deal wi-
The figure lying besides him stirs. Making Tweek freeze on the spot. Craig was always a heavy sleeper but when he moves it always freaks the other out, he can't wake up yet. Then the gnomes will come for him too if he stays awake at night! And while it would bring him satisfaction that Craig finally saw them, he wants his boyfriend to be safe.
Him being used as a glorified Teddy Bear isn't really a bother, even if it's slightly difficult trying to be so still, and Craig is really warm too, but… It's strangely calming, just like Craig's whole existence in general.
He also looks really stupid while sleeping, Tweek might just take another photo to make him see how stupid he looks right now, with his chullo still on his head, and he's definitely not gonna look at it later. Nop. Just to make fun of the boy, yeah! Yeah blackmail in case Craig wants to kill him. Yes. That sounds about right.
Despite how sometimes Craig is irritating and Tweek wants to choke him, he's also just really fucking stupid that it's endearing. One time he forgot he was panicking cause Craig said something unintentionally funny.
But anyways. Craig friends never saw him act this touchy with anyone, and they all think their relationship it's moving pretty fast, only a week passed and they are acting like this but it usually takes at least two weeks to take it seriously! And they haven't even kissed. Cartman tried to force them but he got a surprise punch from a freaked out Tweek. Craig laughed. It wasn't a good day. But pc principal gave them money, so he can buy other legos which is always cool.
So he's in Clyde's house, a friend of Craig. Being used as a Teddy Bear, so stuck, without any possibility of escaping. Very unsure if Craig's friends want to beat him up or if they find the situation funny for how the boy acts. Yeah. All great. It's very much Great. Fantastic even. Magnificent. Extraordinar-
"Tweek?" Fuck!
"Honey, don't scream." To make sure Craig's wish became truth, Tweek took his hands from where they were clutching his hair and put them to cover his mouth, while shutting it down with a click.
"Cool, why are you still up? It's like… night." For a split second there was a spec of confusion... Or disgust in his face, too fast to read it. And while that face never changes, he can always tell when Craig eyes are scrutinizing him. It's unnerving at best and freaking him out at worst.
Craig must've sensed his panic or read his mind because he took a hand in his and placed the other one on Tweeks cheek. "You're shaking a lot honey, calm down." …Or maybe he didn't sense anything and Tweek just displayed physical symptoms of what was in his head. Yeah that- that checks out, yeah, that's better. He prefers that to his mind being read. Yeah.
Looking at Craig's beautiful eyes it's better. He may look peaceful when he's sleeping but he always looks so at peace when awake. He's so calm no matter what happens. He likes when Craig has his moments too, when he's not so emotionless, cause that means he's human, that he's not perfect. And it reminds him that his boyfriend it's just a big dork with love for Guinea Pigs… yeah he's their god too but… but that's another thing.
Tweek never really liked green, but he didn't mind it either since his whole wardrobe is green, his parents never asked him for opinions of what they bought him. But now green seems like a really cool and pretty colour. Even in the dark.
"You ok now?" He shifts his focus on Craig's whole expressionless face. He's looking at the hand he's holding and- oh It's not shaking anymore. He's not shaking anymore.
Just when he thinks he might stay like this forever, his face melting into Craig's warm touch while holding the other hand, Craig lets go, and begins to sit up. He can still feel the phantom remains of each finger grazing his face.
"Sorry for keeping you up babe, didn't mean to." It took a second for Tweek to understand what he meant. Did he enter his mind to stop him from sleeping? Was he the boss of the gnomes? Did he put something in his coffee to make him stay away- Oh. Not that.
"No!" He shouted, quickly tapping his mouth shut, looking at the other boys on the ground. No one seemed to be moving. He left a sign of relief. And then whispered. "No, you can stay here." He grabbed the boy by his pajamas and yanked him down. It kinda hurt having their forehead bonk. And by Craig little 'ow, dude' told him it hurt him too.
"Sorry. But you can stay, i like it this way." Now he was the one hugging the other like a Teddy bear.
"Don't make it weird Tweek." Andddd- now he's being awkward, his whole body was tensed as if he never got hugged, when he was literally clinging to him seconds ago, stupid motherfucker.
"You're making it weird, shut up and sleep Craig."
…
After a minute passed and the boy was still tense he sat up, looked at him and asked one question.
"Would you hugging me, make you fall asleep again?" He could feel the other shock and recoil and… and is that blush? He really wants some light right about now, maybe a gnome can come and point a torch in Craig's face? As repayment for all the underwear stolen? Maybe? No? The boy's round eyes blew wide and he was trying to avoid looking at Tweek… Holy shit. Craig knew what he was doing.
A smile alongside a warm feeling crept up the blonds face. "C'mon it's fine Craaaaig, I can be your teddy bear for tonight."
He responded with his always present monotone. But Tweek could hear the straining in his voice, Craig was embarrassed. "Oh my god, shut up Tweek." Yet he still reached to hug back and bury his head in the other's chest. There was a slurred mumble whispered into his pajamas that Tweek failed to catch, it made him giggle a little.
Since their new status as boyfriends was officialized, Tweek started to notice Craig often acted like a cat. The boy even used the cat face when typing! He was so silly and stupid. But at the same time he knows a lot about science and space, and he likes logic. He has a lot of emotions but has no idea how to share them. Maybe that's why Tweek likes him. A confusing but nice constant.
Despite the little voice in his head telling him that he might get killed by lasers right to the heart, he can't panic, because it's Craig, and Craig wouldn't let it happen.
He wonders what the cool boy in the chullo sees in him to keep staying by his side even with all his faults and mistakes… He really does...
