Chapter Text
Tweek sat in his room twitching and trying to gain the courage to text in the group chat that Craig invited him to. Craig had told him multiple times that his friends didn't mind him being around, but Tweek didn't believe it he could feel their stares no matter how hard Craig tried to convince him that they didn't he couldn't believe his words..
Tweek thought about it i mean he could send a photo or even just say “HI". But what if they judge him for that what if they hate him gosh, he’s such a goddamn disgrace and a loser and a-Then something snapped him out of his self-pity Criag was calling him Tweek felt lighter as he answered the call and Craig’s monotone voice echoed through the phone.
“Hey honey”
“Hi Criag”
“How are you doing?”
“Good, just. Sitting in my room drawing” Tweek lied through his teeth, He wanted to tell Criag everything, but he didn't want to worry him about it…, or the fact he almost had a panic attack.
“That's good, we should go to the mall soon you know because of winter break and stuff”
“Yes of course! I haven't seen you for a while”
“Hey babe, you sound a little jittery. You, ok?”
Fuck why did Craig have to be so observant...
“Oh, you know usual morning jitters nothing to be worried about”
“Are you sure honey? I'm here for you if you need to talk”
“I know thanks but seriously I'm alright”
“Okay just take it easy, want to go to the mall today or tomorrow?’
“TODAY! Sorry today” Tweek was eager to get out of this hell hole even if it meant going out into public
“Okay. I'll see what I can do. Also, would you mind if the others came along?”
“No! Not all plus I need to get to know them better anyways” Tweek did in fact mind but of course…Why would HE tell Criag that they can't come that would be a dick move.
“You sure? I know your nervous around them”
“Yes! I'm fine, I promise I'm just…always nervous.”
“Okay. How about one to like maybe five? You can sleep at my house”
“Sounds good, I'll ask my parents”
“Okay love you honey”
“I love you too”
The call would end and Tweek would go downstairs and talk to his parents
“H-Hey dad”
“Hello Tweek, what can I do for you?”
“I was U-Um wondering if it would be okay to hang out with Criag tonight and sleep over”
“Of course, Tweek, I don't mind at all”
“O-Okay thanks dad”
Tweek waved goodbye to his dad before running back upstairs. Tweek checked the time to plan it all out and it had already been an hour it was already 12:34...Goodness he rushed to get ready just in case Criag came early. Tweek went through his dresser looking for something that wasn’t stained by coffee or other materials
There was a green and black sweater that Criag had gifted him he put it on. It was a bit too big, but he could make it work. Then he threw on some cargo pants with multiple patches like some of them were bands or stars. Then he put on his converse and grabbed his messenger bag and dumped everything out of it.
Ever since getting into high-school Tweek hadn't had that much time to empty out his bag most of it was just papers that were important or trash. There weren’t many food wrappers because he rarely ate, Craig would bring him food every day. Tweek did not deserve such a boy like him.
Tweek packed his charger and battery pack then his notebooks, Pens and markers, one singular pencil, headphones, his wallet which contained 130$ and some cards and his driver's license
Tweek finished packing up and went to the bathroom to finish freshening up, He pulled out his deodorant and put some on then grabbing his toothbrush and swiftly brushing his teeth and swishing with mouthwash. Tweek grabbed his hairbrush and groaned in pain as he tried to brush out his knots.
His phone would start ringing he didn't even look who was calling he just answered and threw it on the bathroom counter as he continued brushing. But after hearing who had called him, he immediately regretted answering. Tweek had just joined a face time EVERYONE IN THE CALL COULD SEE HIM what does he do? He turns his camera and mutes himself then he sat on the floor in embarrassment
“YOOOO TWEEK” Clyde's voice came screaming from the phone
“Clyde stop being so loud SOME of us have manners.” Tolkien muttered
“H-Hi G-Guys” Jimmy said
“Hi Tweek, Jimmy, Clyde, and Tolkien”
“Hello Craig”
“W-What time are W-w-We meeting at the M-M-Mall Fellas?”
“One” Craig said as he texted the time to the group chat.
“Also. Tweek, do you need me to pick you up?”
Finally, Tweek cleared his throat and unmuted himself
“y-Yes”
“Okay anyone else needing to be picked up”
“I do” Clyde always needed to be picked up
“N-n-n-Not m-Me”
“Nah I'm good thanks tough Criag” Tolkien said
Craig made a noise only what Tweek would make out to be an acknowledged hum. Eventually the call hung up Tweek couldn't have been any happier. Until he remembered he had to see them at the mall. Then he heard his phone ding Craig texted him that he was outside. Tweek ran into his room and grabbed his stuff before stopping at the front door and taking a deep breath.
“You can do this” he whispered before opening the front door to see a dark blue SUV outside and his beloved waiting in it.
