Tweek x Craig

Buddha Box. (Angst)

S22EP8

Tweek POV

Me and Craig's relationship was finally peaceful.
No conflicts lately, just the two of us.
The asian girls still kept up their drawings, but definetly not as much as it was before.. when they first started the whole 'Tweek x Craig' thing.
It was a Monday night, around 9:12 PM.
I was laying in bed on my phone.
I was scrolling through Tik Toks, when I came across an ad.
It was advertising for something called a 'Buddha Box'.
They had noise cancellation headphones, and a projector so you can look at the screen of your phone from inside of the box.
They we're demonstrating how to wear it, and I thought it looked pretty stupid if you ask me.
It was marketed towards people with anxiety.
But im not wasting my money on getting that, I have more important things to worry about.
Like Craig.
And the fact North Korea is still out to get me..
Or the fact that my lego package still hasn't gotten here yet!
I didn't really give it a second thought, and just kept scrolling.

-Time Skip to Tuesday morning.-

I slept for around four hours that night, (more than usual...)
So I actually wasn't too tired!
Those four hours didn't make up for the bags under my eyes, though..
But it's whatever.
I could honestly care less about sleep, it's not that important anyway.
I went ahead and got dressed, struggling with the buttons as always.
I shrugged it off and headed downstairs, I wasn't really in the mood for any breakfast.
So I just grabbed a cup of coffee, and walked out the door.
It was a more snowy morning, but any kid living in Colorado was used to the cold by now.
And the hot coffee warmed me up for the most part.
I reached school around six minutes before the bell rang.
Great! I'll have time to talk to Craig.
I walked inside the building, first thing I see was Eric Cartman wearing a box over his head.
Then I remembered the ad I saw last night.
I glanced around, and no one else really seemed to be wearing the 'buddha box'.
I glanced through the halls, in search for my favorite raven-haired boy.
I saw Tolkien, so I walked up to him and asked;

Tweek Dialouge

" Hey Tolkien- any idea where Craig is? "

I didn't get a worded response, instead his eyes gestured to about seven feet away; where Craig stood.
...
He was wearing the box over his head.
Huh.
I didn't know Craig had anxiety..
I'll have to talk to him about that.
After all, I did talk to Craig a few days ago about getting better at communicating with our relationship.
He'd take off the box to talk to me though, ... (right?)

Third Person

Tweek walked up to Craig, standing directly infront of him.

Tweek Dialouge

" Craig! Hi-! "

...

No response.

" Craig? "

"..."

" Craig!- Don't ignore me-. We just talked about communication. Please take off the box-. "

Silence.

Craig didn't seem to hear him.

Tweek was starting to get frustrated, and gave Craig a slight push to let him know he was there, and trying to talk to him.
