Craig opened Kenny's door and then proceeded to enter. He was greeted by Kenny's younger sister doing her homework in the living room. She glanced at Craig and smiled, to which Craig responded by waving. It makes Craig feel good knowing that she was still happy and pure after all these years.

Craig walked up to her, "do you know where Kenny is?"

She chewed on her eraser in thought before replying, "I think he's in his room."

Craig nodded and started to head in that direction. Now that he was here Craig was beginning to wonder why Kenny wanted to see him. Craig resolved himself to the fact that if it was Kenny, it couldn't be anything good.

Finally, Craig was in front if Kenny's door, he thought about knocking but in the end, he decided to just open it without warning. Craig didn't know what he was expecting when he opened the door, but he positively wasn't thinking Kenny would be pacing back and forth in panic.

At the sound of Craig entering, Kenny paused his pacing and turned to look at him. Craig immediately wanted to bail, he wasn't particularly fond of feelings, to begin with, let alone Kenny's feelings. Although, Craig really didn't want to have to explain that one. So he opted to stay instead.

"Butters' parents found out about us," Kenny choked out.

Craig wanted to feel bad, but his empathy has a hard time being activated. He only feels sorry for friends and family, and yeah that makes him a selfish asshole, but Craig already knew that.

But instead of saying any if that to Kenny's face, he said, "that sucks."

Kenny just shook his head in frustration, "no, you don't understand."

Craig sighed, "don't you have friends? Why are you trying to talk to me?"

Kenny collapsed on to his bed, "they're too good to deal with my problems."

Craig couldn't tell if he should be offended or not so he decided to ignore that comment, "but isn't that kind of the point of having friends?"

Kenny made a noise of frustration, "no, these are my problems to deal with, not theirs."

Craig still didn't completely understand, but he was tired of arguing about it. "So what are going to do about?"

"I don't know, I want to be there for him, but I'm worried if I'm around him at all I will only make it worse."

Craig didn't know what to say, he understood that it was a tough decision with no real right answer. So Craig offered the only words of comfort he knew, "do you want to get so drunk that you don't remember your name?"

Kenny finally smiled, "now you're talking my language."

An hour later and they were heavily intoxicated. Craig and Kenny stole Kenny's parent's plethora of alcohol and just started drinking it. Since they were both so drunk, Craig forgot about his filter, "so are you and Butters even dating?"

Thankfully, Kenny has a hard time being mad when he's wasted. "No, but he's gorgeous and nice, and sweet, and perfect."

"Then why aren't you dating?

Kenny tapped his chin as if in thought, "he's too good for me," he said giggling. "Now tell me, what about you and Tweek?"

Craig could already feel his cheeks heat up at the mention of his kind of crush. "What about Tweek and me?"

"When are you guys going to finally get together?"

"It's not like that," Craig said unconvincingly.

Suddenly Craig's phone started going off, so without checking who it was, he answered.  "Hi," he said obnoxiously loud.

"Craig?"

"Tweek! Where are you? I miss you."

There was a pause on the other side before someone who definitely wasn't Tweek spoke, "Craig, what are you doing?"

"Clyde? Well, Kenny was all sad, so I decided to help him."

"Okay, well, school's out, so we're going to come get you."

"Yeah, I get to see my friends," and then there was a click signaling that Clyde hung up.

Craig turned back to Kenny, who was pouting, "you're leaving me."

Craig giggled, "oh yeah, I guess I am."
