The Bet

Day 21, Part 2

Craig gently intertwined his hand with Tweek's, gone were the days when he needed to drag him anywhere. Replaced with the knowledge they'll get there eventually.

Craig led Tweek out of the house and down the street. Craig wanted to take Tweek somewhere that would be a memorable first date. So Craig figured what better place than his parents coffee shop?

About halfway there Tweek broke the silence, "not that I care where we're going, but I would like to know."

Craig looked down at Tweek,  "I figured that for our first date I would take you out for some coffee."

Tweek's entire face went red as he said, "this is a date?"

Craig stopped walking. They never officially decided to go on a date. Craig hesitantly spoke, "is that fine?"

Tweek just giggled,"it is, I just never knew." Then they continued on their way.

Shortly after they arrived at Tweak Bros. and sat at a table. Tweek ran up to the counter and came back a coffee and a tea. "Since your crazy and somehow don't lol coffee," Tweek said as he slid the tea toward Craig.

Craig smirked, "I'm the crazy one here?"

Tweek crossed his arms in mock defiance, "everyone is a little crazy.

"touchè." Then Craig got a text message. He looked at Tweek apologetically before scrolling through his texts. It turned out he had one from Tricia and one from Kenny. Craig clicked on the one from Tricia first.

I just heard what happened to Mom. I'm mad you didn't tell me. Tell me what happens, please!

Craig felt guilty for not telling his sister, but he didn't respond. He didn't want to think about that right now. Then with a groan, he opened the texts from Kenny.

heard about your mom, that sucks.

Are you gonna tell Tweek or what?

I think the dare went too far

Craig stared at the stream of texts blankly. This was his chance to get out of the dare and never think about it again. Craig turned off his phone, he'll think about that later. A time when he didn't have a cute blonde to woo.

Craig looked back up at Tweek, "I'm so sorry, I just didn't know if it would be an update about my mom.

Tweek brushed it off, "I understand, I was hoping it was news too."

Then the batter picked up. They talked about the past, they talked about dreams. They even talked about how hard it was on Tweek to keep a secret like that. Then the shop was closing and they were forced to leave.

Craig, ever the gentleman, opted to walk Tweek home. They laced their fingers as they strolled through the town. It was odd for Craig to think about how this boy waltzed into his life and completely changed everything Craig thought he knew. Craig was glad he did, or else he might still be putting up stupid barriers and hating everyone.

Then they were suddenly at the door. Craig could tell Tweek was nervous by the way he was biting his lip. Craig just grinned as he leaned down and kissed him. The kiss was shorter than he preferred but they were interrupted by the door opening to both of their embarrassment. Then Craig was left to walk home alone.

A/N: Sorry this chapter took an extra day. It was really hard to write and honestly, I'm not that proud of this chapter. Hopefully, I'll give you a better one tomorrow.
