The warm smell of ginger filled the kitchen,  signalling that their cookies were ready. Kyle hopped up onto the counter,  swinging his legs excitedly as Stan put on the oven gloves,  opening the oven and in doing so releasing an even stronger smell from the treats that made their mouths water. " This was such a good idea dude" Kyle grinned as Stan placed the baking tray on the side, and passed him a spatula so that he could place the gingerbread peices onto the cooling rack. " Agreed " Stan nodded,  licking his lips and putting the now empty tray into the sink. " Dont know if I can wait long enough for these to cool though" He groaned as Kyle grabbed a cookie,  biting off its head. " Mmpfpph mmmeeither" He mumbled in agreement through the mouthful,  looking at Stan with an innocent smile and making him chuckle. " Is it good? " He asked,  the rapid nodding he recieved in reply and wide smile indicating that it was. Kyle felt all warm and cozy as the freshly baked hot snack crunched in his mouth,  mixing with the feeling of his soft hannuka jumper,  the sight of the festive reindeer antlers on his friends fluffy black hair and most importantly just the feeling of being in the company of his favorite person in the world. Kyle chuckled as Stan struggled to untie his apron,  hopping down behind him to help. " Thanks dude" Stan smiled,  hanging up the apron to reveal his own christmas jumper. He smiled at Kyles hair,  making the ginger raise an eyebrow in confusion until he remembered the brightly coloured lights he had buried in the curls. " Keep forgetting you did that,  looks cute. " Stan grinned,  making a slight blush appear over the freckles dusted over Kyles nose. He opened his mouth to respond,  but he was cut off by a loud and obnoxious knock at the door. The pair shared a look,  before shrugging and walking to  open it. " I thought you said that they were taking Ike out for the whole day" Stan said slightly sadly,  assuming that it was the angry thumping of Sheilas fist on the door.  " They are..  WAIT STAN NO! " Kyle replied as he realised who was on the other side,  but it was too late. The second Stan opened the door Cartman pushed past him,  jumping onto the sofa and sprawling out lazily,  shoving a handful of cheesy poofs into his mouth. " Smelt cookies,  gimme some Jew" He demanded,  still munching on his crisps and spilling orange powder all over the cushions. Stan looked over at Kyle to see his face screwed up in anger and scowling so hard at Eric that Stan could practically see a dark cloud over his head. " Get.  The fuck.  Out. " Kyle snarled through gritted teeth,  making  Cartman smile and lightly chuckle. " Oh Kaaahll, do you really want to talk to me like that when Stan is right there?" He chimed,  motioning to Stan and smiling sweetly. " Or do you think he wants to know what you said la-" " Ill get your fucking cookies. " Kyle hissed reluctantly,  making Stan raise an eyebrow in confusion.  Normally Kyle would never give in to the monster that is Eric,  well not without a fight,  but today he was being strangely compliant. " Anything else? " Kyle snapped as he shoved a plate with a cookie on into Erics chubby hands. " Warm milk would be greeaaattt" Cartman smiled mockingly as Kyle rolled his eyes,  walking into the kitchen and leaving Stan even more confused. " What did you do fatass? " Stan asked suspiciously,  earning a sickly sweet grin from Eric. " What ever do you meeeann? " He batted his eyelashes and smiled,  making Stan grimace at the unnatural expression plastered on his face. " I meeean,  why the fuck is Kyle doing what you say and why the fuck are you in his house. " Stan said,  annoyance lacing his voice. " Well,  Kahl tol-" " Shut it fatass" Kyle interrupted as he slammed a mug of milk onto the table.  " How very rude Kyle didn't your mum tell you not to interrupt? Probably not,  since she's such a BITCH" Cartman smiled,  emphasizing the word on the end of his sentance and letting it roll of his tongue. Stan held his breath and stepped back when he heard Cartman use that word about Kyles mum. That action had earned Cartman more punches in the face than number of cheesy poofs currently in his fist,  and Stan was ready for Kyle to snap,  so he stood,  mouth agape when Kyle simply looked at the smirk printed on the chubby boys face and inhaled sharply,  letting out the breath and walking back over to Stan in silence. " Come on Stan" He said,  grabbing his hand and walking to the kitchen. " Oh Kyle,  I texted Ken,  hes coming over soon so you better give his poor ass a cookie too,  probably hasn't eaten in days" Eric shouted after him,  making him sigh in disappointment. So much for alone time with Stan. " Dude what is up with you" Stan questioned,  a look of genuine concern on his face as he scanned Kyles. There was a thump from the living room followed by quiet mumbling that the two ignored.  " Nothing man,  Cartmans just being a dick,  as usual. " " Yea but normally you fight back,  I mean you just sighed when he called your mum a bitch!  I've seen you break his nose over that before! " Stan said worried,  gripping his friends shoulders and staring into his face. " Honestly dude,  he's just being a fucking dick and I gotta deal with it. " " Kyle come on I know you somethings going on and its freaking me out. " " Go on Kaaahhl,  tell him" Cartman smirked,  appearing in the doorway,  sparking laughter in the living room.  Stan recognised it as the giggling of Kenny,  who had climbed in through the window and was now laying on the floor,  clutching his stomach and giggling so hard that tears filled his eyes. " Tell me what? " Stan asked,  letting go of Kyle when he saw the nervous and for some reason embarrassed look on his face. " WAIT WAIT DONT RUIN IT,  let me try! " Kenny said,  jumping up and running to the kitchen. " Kyle,  make me a sandwich! " He grinned, before looking over at Stan and holding a fist out for him to pump. " STAN! " " Hey dude" Stan replied,  performing their handshake with the blonde.  He liked Kenny but didn't Kyle say it would only be them today? " Figures you would be here" He winked at Stan,  making Eric laugh,  Kyle turn red,  and Stan even more confused. " What filling asshole" Kyle sighed,  getting out the bread and making Kenny's eyes widen as he began to laugh again. " ham" He giggled,  looking at Cartman.  " Dude I'm Jewish we cant eat pork I dont have any fucking ham and you know that. " He scowled as the pair giggled with each other and Stan watched everything unfold with squinted eyes,  mouthing the words 'what the fuck' every so often. " Then go to the store and get the boy some ham! " Eric laughed,  making Kenny fall onto the floor in a puddle of laughter as Kyle grabbed his coat from the hanger. " You were right this is hilarious!  He will do anything with the right blackmail! " Kenny chuckled to Eric,  making Stan understand. He grabbed Kyles arm,  stopping him from leaving. " Kyle stop,  this is ridiculous,  what could they possibly have on you. That is that bad? " Kyle just looked at Stan with sad eyes,  before looking down at his feet. " Tell him, tell him! " Kenny and Eric began to chant as tears welled in Kyles eyes. " Hey Kyle its okay dude,  dont worry im here. " Stan said softly,  hugging Kyle and scowling at the two laughing boys,  making Kenny look away guiltily. Kyle began to cry and Kenny grabbed Eric tightly,  pulling his still grinning form out of the room. " Shhh,  its okay Kyle,  shit those fuckers are so gonna get it later. " Stan said angrily as he rubbed circles into Kyles back. Kyle cried as all of the possibilities raced through his mind.  What if Eric told Stan and ruined their friendship?  What if Kenny let the secret slip and Stan hated him forever? What if this was the last hug he ever got from his super best friend? " ITS NOT MY FAULT THAT HE'S FUCKING GAY FOR STAN DUDE" Eric shouted at Kenny from the living room,  and Kyle felt Stan freeze and tense up around him. " KEEP YOUR VOICE DOWN FUCKO HES GONNA HEAR" " AT LEAST I CAN MAKE NOISE YOU MUMBLY BITCH" As Kenny and Cartman argued in the other room,  the other two held their breath,  frozen in shock from what Eric had let slip. The conversation died down eventually,  fights between Kenny and Cartman never lasted long.  " Look dude lets at least give them privacy,  wanna go annoy Craig? " Kenny managed to convince Eric to leave and Stan and Kyle heard the door close behind them,  signifying their leave. " You uh..  You're gay?  Thats what they had on you? " Stan questioned,  his voice cracking. Kyle looked up at him slowly with a tear stained face,  the lights in his hair falling messily over his eyes. Stan brushed the lights back into the silky ginger curls,  using his thumb to wipe away the tears and tracing his fingers over the soft skin of Kyles face. " Hey,  Kyley,  its okay. I just need to know the truth.  Do you like me,  like..  Like like me? " He said softly,  trying to hide the shake in his voice and the nerves bubbling inside of him. Kyle stayed silent and stared at him for what seemed like forever,  until he managed to muster up enough courage to simply nod his head,  looking away instantly in fear of what he might see on Stans face. Before the black haired boy knew what was happening,  he had placed a finger under Kyles chin,  making him look up at him and smashed their lips together. When they finally pulled away,  they were both grinning like idiots,  and all Stan could manage to say was,  " me too "
