Unravel (Creek)

Chapter 18

Tweek could tell that the idea of him communicating with Gordon was bothering Craig. In fact, Craig linger longer then he was supposed to, pretending as if he wasn't listening to Tweek's conversations with him. When Craig finally left, he was definitely in a different mood then he was all day, like he was worried. And despite Tweek reassuring him that he loved him, he knew it didn't sit well with Craig.

Should Craig be concerned? It was something Tweek thought about while he sat alone in his room with his phone close by waiting for the next response from Gordon. He knew he loved Craig, but he enjoyed being with Gordon. Hell, he even thought that he was starting to seriously like him. Tweek didn't know what to do and never wanted to hurt or upset anyone. He was lost.

And on top of the stranger things, what was up with Kenny? Gordon seem very nonchalant, about the hooded person in his yard. Thought it was the strangest but funniest thing. Tweek wasn't humored, he knew Kenny. Back in the day when they took Coon and friends seriously, Eric took pride in believing he was the leader. However, everyone knew Kenny was. Kenny took suicidal risk that no one else would take and when Kenny split from the group the group crumbled. So Tweek knew Kenny was not the one to play with nor was Kenny that kind of person to just let things go.

Tweek had sent Kenny many text messages, but Kenny never respond and it made Tweek uncomfortable. Now that Craig was gone Tweek went for some coffee, more like a huge cup of coffee.

Tweek laid in bed wide awake, responding back and forth with Gordon till he was sure Gordon had passed out. It was 1:00am and his text box only showed that he was writing but never sent it. Tweek chest ached, wondering how much time was left till he'd have to break the news to Gordon and if he was ready to. The pressure was crushing him.

Tweek laid facing the window till the sky started to brighten. This sleepless night was no fault of anyone but him. Tweek eyes were extremely heavy as he rolled out of bed and into the bathroom to get ready for school.

Tweek look at the time, and decided it was best to walk. He wasn't sure how he would handle the bus stop with the guys. Do he sit with Butters or Craig? And if he sat with Craig, it would be awkward if he walked off the bus with Craig and Gordon saw.

Tweek started twitching with his rising anxiety. "Walk it is," he muttered. Grabbing coffee before heading out. When Tweek opened the door, he was surprised, but not shocked that it had snowed over night. Still, it wasn't enough to convince him to take the bus.

By the time Tweek got to school, his face was blue, and all of him hurt from being in the cold for 45 minutes, he was so happy to be indoors as he worried he was seconds away from hypothermia.

Tweek was early, as he walked to the spot in the school where Gordon at took him with the bleachers in the hall, he sat there waiting for class to start. He glanced at the time and knew that everyone he knew should be here, if not then they were minutes from arriving.

2 text messages came in at the same time. Gordon and Craig. Tweek read Craig's message first. Craig wanted to know if Tweek came to school and Tweek messaged him back saying he did. Craig sent a sad face and then asked why he avoided the bus and Tweek responded by saying he wanted to avoid the awkwardness.

He went to Gordon message who wondered the same thing but before he could respond. Gordon turned the corner. Tweek smiled before getting up to meet him. Gordon wore the sweetest smile that it woke up the butterflies in Tweek stomach.

"You found me," Tweek said.

"I figured you would be here and not out there, at least I was hoping you were here and not out there," Gordon said laughing.

"Yeah not today," Tweek replied. Gordon leaned in for a kiss and Tweek accepted.

"You never told me what you did yesterday, How was the rest of your weekend? Did you do anything fun?"
