"Aren't you happy to be wearing m-my jacket?"
"It actually is pretty warm. And that was smooth too."
Tweeks face turned red and he giggled before letting go of my hand and running the rest of the way to starks pond. He kneeled down next to the pond and attempted to dip his hand in, but couldn't. It was frozen.
"Perfect! H-Hope you fit in these." He said running behind a bench and grabbing some ice skates.
Ice skates? I've never ice skated.
I'm gonna bust my ass. How do you even put these on?
"Here watch." Tweek must've read my mind because he started to put them on slowly, while I followed along. Eventually we both had them on and he easily stood up while I had a struggle. He walked back by the pond and stepped onto it. He slowly moved back with almost no effort put in and signaled for me to join. Slowly I made my way over to him.
Why am I doing this?
"Trust me i-it's fun once you get it!" He held out his hand for me and I took it with no hesitation, and in doing so I slid onto the ice with more force then meant.
"Oh shit-"
"Pfft- look see!" I fell on Tweek, but he helped me up and held my hands in his. He slowly started moving back, how? I have no fucking idea. But he did, and along I came with. I started moving with him and moving ny feet on my own.
"There you go! O-Okay. I'm gonna let go now. R-Ready?"
"Uh. Sure?" Tweek laughed and slowly loosened his grip. I stood still at first, a little nervous, but eventually I tried pushing myself forward. I moved a bit, and I smiled.
"HELL YEA!"
I moved my arms up, too fast. And fell.
"Fuck. Nevermind."
Tweek laughed and helped me up, again.
He continued to teach me and slowly I got the hang of it. When I could go on my own, he moved away from in-front of me and to the side, but neither of our eyes left each other. We stay that way for god knows how long.
I lose track of time staring into his eyes.
We skated around, holding the each other hands, and staring into the others eye with pure happiness.
It was like that for awhile until he looked up at the sky and then pulled me back to the bench where we first put them on.
"Sorry. I-I wanted to do something while we waited f-for the stars."
"I didn't mind one bit. I miss holding your hand though."
He rolled his eyes and grabbed my hand once again. He pulled me to a spot where there was no trees, and a clearly open spot for us to lay down. He did just that and pulled me down next to him.
"How did you move backwards so easily?"
"W-When my cousin comes over we i-ice skate all the time. She taught me a few tricks."
"You've got plenty of tricks up your sleeve, that's for sure."
He smiled and nodded and leaned over on me.
He looked up at the sky, and I only stared at him for a minute before looking up as well.
It was really beautiful. I love space so much, I remember thinking there would never be anything more perfect then space.
Space was absolutely perfect. The pitch black sky, lighten up by all the stars. The stars shining even brighter with the black sky.
I looked back at Tweek and he wore a smile.
Tweek shined just as bright as those stars.
And just the thought of him lights up my, ugh this sounds cringy to say, my dark heart.
It really seemed true though.
"Tweek."
"Yea?"
"You remember telling me that I make you really happy right?"
"It's true."
"Well, I think my life as really lighten up. Since meeting you. A-And I looked at the sky. Doesn't it feel the same?"
"What do you mean?" He asked looking at me, and his questioning yet happy face made me smile.
I looked back at the sky and pointed up at it.
"Because the dark sky is lighten up by the stars. And the stars only shine bright because of the dark!"
Tweek seemed to take a moment to understand, but his face soon went from confused to extremely shocked.
"I get it! T-Thats- it's perfect Craig."
"Right?!" I sat up and looked at him as he slowly got up.
"H-Hey. The first time we did this, I had your jacket, n-now you have mine."
"Not sure that's a friend thing Tweek."
"I'm pretty sure it isn't." He said before opening his arm for a hug. I gave him one, and it wasn't tight gripping like it was at the coffee shop. It was just a hug.
Because why not?
"It's you Craig."
"W-What?"
"It's you I like."
I froze.
Tweek likes me. He actually likes me.
Me and him, we like each other.
I make him as happy as he makes me.
He likes being around me, and I like being around him. He's like talking to me, and I like talking to him. He likes to hold my hand, and I like to hold his.
We like each other.
"O-Okay Craig. You're starting to making me nervous."
"S-Sorry. Um. I...I like you too. Tweek. A lot."
"You mean it?"
"Of fucking course dude. You don't understand how, lost i was before. Ask Clyde and Token, I was tolerant of my life. I didn't exactly love it like I do now. I'm telling you Tweek you make everything, so much better."
Tweek pulled away and looked me in the eyes with a huge smile.
"I, really, really like you Craig." He said smiling at me before glancing down at his hands wrapped in mine.
I looked back down at him, and then at Tweek again.
"I-I know we only met like- a week ago, b-but I mean it Craig. You must be a witch or something because I f-fell hard. Really hard. And so.." he paused and moved his hands to my face and gently held my head.
"C-Can I kiss you?"
"You don't have to ask." I said and he laughed and looked back at me.
"Are you sure?"
"Tweek, if I wasn't sure then Clyde would be smart."
He smiled and nodded. He closed his eyes, and I did too.
I leaned to the right and moved forward. And kept moving forward.
Nothing?
Wait. There it is. That doesn't feel like lips though. I decided to open my eyes, and I saw rather then his lips, I had kissed his cheek.
"Oh."
"You missed?"
"S-Shut up."
"Craig how did you m-miss?"
"Okay fine." This time I grabbed his face and pulled him into the kiss.
And, I'll admit it was little awkward. It was quick, mostly because I was super nervous.
But holy crap. That quick moment, was the best moment of my life.
His lips were so soft and nice, and his smile into it was even better. I couldn't see it, but I could feel it.
I feel so many things with Tweek.
I feel in love with Tweek.
"Craig."
I refused to look at him. After I pulled away I just looked down and hid my face from him.
"Hm?"
"I like you a lot."
Those words made me smile, and I finally decided to look at his face. It was pure happiness, with red cheeks, and eyes filled with emotions.
Happiness, excitement, love?
I know I was filled with those emotions.
Especially the last one.
