Craig's P.O.V.

"I'm sorry Tweek, I didn't me-" then I was cut off

"It's okay" He paused and continued. "I'll tell you"

"Back when I was 10....  I was being bullied for a very long time. I came home all bruised and bloody that--" He trailed off before his eyes started to form tears.

"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have asked" I felt really bad for asking him.

So I pulled him into a hug

"It's okay shhh." I tried hushing him while he tried suppressing his tears

"So then we moved to Denver after that. And I cannot live to think that it could happen all over again. Seeing that Eric guy reminded me of the bully that put me through this" He finished and continued sobbing

"That's why you were so petrified. I'm so sorry you had to go through all of that. Don't worry I'll protect you Tweek. That fatass will not hurt you. I promise"

He stopped crying for a while and looked up to me while he wiped the tears that are still in his eyes. 

"Thank you Craig" His lips formed a curve of a smile on his lips

"You're one of the first people I've met here and you're very kind. I don't know how to express my gratitude for you" he continued

He smiled. That smile. Very genuine yet soft expression on his face. 

I smiled back at him "You're welcome, you can always count on me, just call me when you need" I replied and we stayed there for a while. 

He smiled at me sincerely which made me feel warm and for some reason, I just wanted to protect him.

Tweek's P.O.V. 

Craig is very gentle, he made me feel better. Like I'm worth something

I don't know what to feel but.... home towards him

We stayed in that position for a while until I realize we were still sort of hugging. My face started to turn red. 

I wanted to stay like that for a while but that would be awkward so then I stood up

"W-we should probably get b-back" I started to stutter again, my face feels so hot right now

"Right, c'mon I'll walk with you. Are you good"? He asked

"I-I'm fine why'd you a-ask" I stuttered again

"Well you look nervous" He chuckled

"Don't worry I'm fine" I stared at the ground not knowing what to do.  My heart is racing so fast

We got back to my house and perfect timing, the Tucker's were going to leave so Craig had to go. Sadly.

"I'll be seeing  you around Tweek" Craig smiled at me warmly

"I-I'll see you Craig" I smiled back at him

"Bye Tweekie! Let's hang out sometimes"! Tricia pulled me into a hug, she is very nice. It makes me wonder if I ever had a sister will she be like Tricia?

"Bye Tricia, thanks and definitely we will" I waved her and everyone goodbye after we hugged.

The door closed and they headed home. I just realized he was the 'ghost' I thought yesterday. The guy in a chullo hat with a puffball on top. That was silly of me

I ran into my room and jumped on my bed

My heart pounded really fast.

Do I like Craig? I feel like I am developing something towards him

Maybe he just took a pity on me.

I can't have these thoughts

Oh no, I don't want to fall for him.

But

I sort of want to

I am just afraid of having to find out I'm gay. I don't want him to leave me and think I'm weird like everybody does. 

Not again

The thought of him leaving me made me feel sad. I wouldn't know what to do. My eyes felt heavy at the moment and then I started to doze off
