Growing up with a separate group of friends you never really saw much of Kenny McCormick after elementary school, until your freshly divorced dad took it upon himself to woo Liane Cartman and subsequently make Eric your step brother just before your senior year of high school. You feel right back into that rhythm of childhood admiration, but realized quickly it had grown to a full blown crush - something your best friends were happy to point out to you at any given time. Things were fine, you thought the worst the universe could throw at you was Eric Cartman as a step brother or a schedule full of AP classes. That is until Kenny McCormick dies in front of your eyes one day, only to waltz through the front doors of your high school a few days later acting as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened. You want answers. He does too. /// Cross posted on Ao3!
