TWEEK'S POV
monday soon came around and i was more curious than ever about what craig has in store for me.
i know he's asking me to homecoming, he literally called me last night telling me to "be prepared for what's to come."
so it's either a homecoming proposal or craig making me watch another box set of his red racer dvd's....i'm leaning towards the latter, i mean i hope.
everyone has been asked it seems! every day it's some extravagant hoco proposal with a crowd of people forming and someone recording on their phones so they can post it on instagram.
and here i am, one week until homecoming, and absolutely no proposal in sight from my boyfriend.
i shouldn't be angry though right? because it's coming?
"trust me," Nichole tells me as i stopped by her locker to ask her opinion on this, "it's totally fine to be a little upset even if it's coming, they both waited for so long!"
"i-i know! they p-probably had trouble o-of thinking of an i-idea maybe," i say fiddling with my fingers.
"yeah, god knows they're not creative," she says closing her lockers.
maybe i'm not going to get asked after all....maybe craig just assumed we're going since we are together.
i mean i never directly expressed it with him, he probably has no idea i even want this!
but i do want this! i want something memorable, i know i get anxious with big gestures but i'd still be appreciative of it!
my mind is going about a thousand miles per hour at all the possibilities of craig not asking me and they come to a holt when i feel a hand on my shoulder with Nichole's sympathetic eyes and smile, "don't worry, Tweek. he's gonna ask you! i'm sure it was just taking a while because like you said — they probably were stuck for a while. don't dread on it, alright? the less you think about it, the sooner it'll come."
i take a deep breath and smile, "y-yeah you're right—"
i immediately shut up when i notice Token slowly making his way towards Nichole from the behind with a bunch of flowers.
i try not to freak out and ruin the surprise, Nichole looks at me wearily, "what's wrong?"
"h-huh? oh n-nothing! i was j-just thinking about c-craig," i say nervously.
she doesn't look convinced, "when don't you ever," she eventually turns around to find Token standing in front of her with the biggest smile on his face holding a bouquet of sunflowers in his hand.
i look around and my god, Token totally won — loads of people holding all sorts of flowers that i believe are all Nichole's favorites and a huge banner that unfolded revealing "homecoming?"
my heart wants to burst, they are so adorable.
Nichole is at a lost for words, "T-Token....oh my god."
"cat got your tongue?" he laughs, "i know flowers are your favorite thing, besides me of course,"
the crowd erupts in laughter as Nichole playfully hits his arm.
"...but out of all the flowers in the world, you're the prettiest pick."
awwwwssss fill the air from everyone surrounding including myself, i couldn't help it.
i look around, there are a bunch of people looking at them with heart eyes, while there are some girls who are jealous and gossiping towards each other, and other people who are just trying to get to their classes.
"you're so sweet!" nichole says smiling.
"so are you, homecoming?" Token asks extending the sunflowers to her. she just nods, takes the sunflowers, and jumps into his arms giving him the biggest hug.
everyone claps and cheers for possibly the best couple that our school has to offer and i stand there as the crowd eventually parts their ways to go to their respective classes.
"finally, goddamn," Cartman says making his way through.
"like you had anywhere to be anyway you're just jealous," i hear Kyle taunt beside him as their group walks to class.
i'm still standing, holding tightly to my binder. i was waiting for craig, he wasn't there during the proposal or in the crowed at all.
where the hell is he?!
i hope he's not in trouble for flipping a teacher off, this would be second time this has happened this month!
i walk up to Nichole and Token, cringing at myself because i didn't want to disturb their time together, but i had to know where the hell my boyfriend is!
"h-hey guys. T-Token, that was super a-adorable," I say sincerely.
"thanks man," he smiles and Nichole giggles.
"n-no problem. do y-you by any m-means know where c-craig is? i haven't s-seen him since this m-morning," i ask.
token's eyes widen, "he's not back yet?"
i stand there confused, "....b-back from where?"
"uh," Token scratches behind his head, "never mind, i'm sure you'll see him soon."
nichole gives Token a questionable look, "token what—"
the bell rings warning students we have about a minute to get to our classes before tardies are handed out.
"well, looks like we'll be going," Token says grabbing Nichole's hands and she looks like she still wants to protest about what just happened but they just walk away.
my anxiety levels SPIKE.
back from where?
where is he?
i don't even have the urge to book it to class, i pull out my phone and look at the last three messages i sent.
he didn't even read them, i guess that makes myself feel a little better so it's not like he's ignoring me?
i text again.
me: where are u?
me: please answer
me: i am worried....
the bell rings and i put my phone in my pockets, hoping for the best as i make my way to class.
CRAIG'S POV
the line that i am standing in couldn't be longer.
i am just asking for coffee, this isn't fucking disney world.
i skipped my classes just to get some coffee for Tweek to make this proposal more cute i guess? and he loves coffee, so this would probably make his day.
but jesus christ this line is long.
i look at the line again, if i stand in this line for any longer than ten minutes i swear to god Tweek might call the cops looking for me because i know he's worried.
i'm not answering him on purpose because god knows he'd mouth me off about skipping class.
everyone in line takes one step forward and i want to scream.
"fuck no," i say getting out of line and walking to the front to find Mr. Tweak taking a customer's order.
"....and can i have a name for this order?" he says not noticing my presence yet.
"richard you know me! it's gerald," kyle's dad exclaims.
"you never know," richard says smiling, "it's tweak coffee protocol. we have to ask every single time."
"yeah yeah," kyle's dad rolls his eyes, annoyed.
i clear my throat, "mr. tweak."
mr. tweak looks at me, eyes widen and a smile plastered on his face, "ohhhh look it's craig. ann! craig is here! EVERYONE, this is my son's homosexual boyfriend, craig!"
the line is filled with aweees and so cutes and i literally face palm, i don't have time for this today.
"mr. tweak," i say desperately, "i need some coffee, i'm asking Tweek to homecoming today and—"
"awwnnnn, are you?" mr. tweek says looking at me endearingly with his hands on his cheeks.
"....yes," i say, "but i need to skip the line so i'm sorry everyone but i have to get back to school."
i was expecting a bunch of people to curse me out but....
"oh go ahead!"
"absolutely!"
"here's a $100!"
dear god this town is a lost cause.
"anything for my future son-in-law," mr. tweak says grabbing a cup, "name?"
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
i think i laughed the most writing this part ahahaha
mr. tweak, in the show, even though he gives his son literal meth — is probably one of my favorite parents in the show?
he's just so funny and the way he talks makes me laugh every time
i am curious, who is y'all's favorite parent in south park? i also love sharon!
