"My love for you is real." Craig x Tweek prequel

Chapter 7: Hurting

Tweek woke up with a pounding headache, along with no strength to get up; everything hurt.

Tweek groaned and turned to his side, reaching for his phone. Good thing it was Saturday.

As the phone's light beamed onto his face, he realized he had received a text from Craig. Tweek read it, "Morning Tweek. Did you enjoy the party even with all the problems like the swim shirt?" Tweek smiled as he answered, "Yeah. It ended up being really fun. Happy we went." Tweek put his phone down on the bed next to him as he closed his eyes.

The sun gently coming through the blinds on his window, telling him to wake up, but Tweek just turned away from it.

Everything still hurt, and he was sore, though nothing to be concerned about.

After a while, Tweek finally mustered up the strength to sit up, his headache still pounding. He knew he needed to shake off the grogginess and start his day, so slowly, he swung his legs over the side of the bed and took a deep breath.

He sighed as he got up and went to the bathroom.

He turned the sink water on and splashed some on his face; that seemed to help.

He then went to his closet and pulled out his usual clothes. He put on the pants and went to put on his shirt, but that's when he saw something odd.

A weird mark on his stomach, "What the-?" he touched it. It was a sickly green color, and it was just smack dab in the middle of his stomach.

Tweek was confused and concerned, causing him to twitch, and because he's panicky, he screamed, calling his parents who came running up.

"What!? What!? What's happening!? Tweek!" his mom yelled.

They ran into the bathroom and also saw the weird mark, "Tweek, what is that?" his dad asked. "I-I don't know!! It was just there when I woke up!"

His mother seemed worried, "Oh god. Do you think it might be doctor-worthy?" "Tweek. Anything else odd?"

Tweek thought about it, "Um....I-I woke up with a pounding headache and...everything hurt!"

His mom and dad looked at each other as they thought about what to do, "Do you think we should see someone?" "I mean, it's just a green mark, and we don't even know if it is tied to the headache and other stuff. Those seem pretty normal."

"But what if it gets worse? What if it's a sign of something?" "I don't know um...I mean, I'm sure it couldn't hurt to do a little check-up.."

Tweek twitched as he listened to them; in his worried mind, he thought he was dying.

After a few moments of talking, and panicking, and wondering what to do, Tweek's parents finally decided that it wouldn't hurt to be safe. "I'll go see what the earliest doctor's appointment we can get is," his mom said as she walked down the stairs and to her computer.

Meanwhile, Tweek's dad put a hand on Tweek, trying to calm him, "Don't worry Tweek. Everything will be fine. I'm sure the doctor will say it's nothing big, give you something to pop in your mouth, and it'll be gone in a flash."

Tweek nodded; his dad wasn't as great at comforting like Craig was, but he was trying, Tweek thought.

His headache was still bad though, so after his dad was done comforting him and went to join his mom, he slowly walked back over to his bed and laid down, grabbing his phone.

Craig had sent another text, "I'm glad. We should do that more often." Tweek sighed as he tried not to focus on the headache and instead just gave Craig's text a thumbs up and closed his eyes.

Maybe he would end up falling asleep and wake up when it's done. He hoped.
