9|Needing Advice|
Craig sat in his room, staring at the glowing star- covered ceiling. He felt a smile creep up onto his face.
He was caught in his own thoughts. What could he be thinking about?
•-•-•
It was Friday afternoon. The sun was just barely starting to set. Tweek had been sitting on a bench. Starks Pond in view. I had told him to meet me there at 7:30. He's a bit early.
Butterflies danced in my stomach, thoughts ran marathons in my head.
Part of me wanted to change my mind but if I don't do it now, I may never confess to him.
I walk up to him, hiding another basket behind my back.
Tweek sees me approaching him and smiles brightly. "Hey Craig!" He chirps. I wave and don't say anything. The excitement in his voice makes me smile.
The closer I get to him, the more the butterflies and thoughts stir. I pushed the negative thoughts aside and took a deep breath.
Tweek cocked his head to the side. "Is there something wrong?" He asked. "You seem... distressed."
I stood in front of him, revealing a basket with a cottony peachy colored ribbon on top. Tweek's eyes widened in front of me. "Were.. were you the one that gave me the basket?" He asked.
I didn't say a word. My want for him to open the basket was strong.
Tweek took the basket and undid the silky ribbon on top. He opened the basket and inside was a more cupcakes.
Inside was another note. "The basket was from me sweetheart ♡"
Tweek looked up into my eyes. "You're the one who did!"
I feel my cheeks heating up. I have to tell him now, there is no way that I can back out now. "Tweekers."
He keeps his eyes on me, only me.
I take in a deep breath before continuing. "Where do I begin? Tweek, I seriously can't believe that I had the privilege to meet somebody as perfect as you. Everything about you is just flawless. Your looks, your personality, your face. God, I just love everything about you. I just love you so much. I love you more than any person in this entire universe. I want you to be mine. Will you do the honors of being mine?"
Tweek warmly smiled, with tears rushing down his cheeks. "Craig. Of course I will!" He said as he hugged onto me tightly.
This hug was different from any other we have shared together.
Tweek looked up into my eyes, leaning in for a kiss, my lips connect with his.

Craig snapped out of his thoughts and sighed. "I wish I could pop the question."
A knock was heard on the door. "Come in." Craig said.
The door opened, and Ruby came in. "Dinner is ready." She said. Craig nodded and sat up, stretching out.
Ruby raced downstairs to get some grub. Craig slowly sat up and followed. The smell of spaghetti filled his nose.
He went into the kitchen and got himself a plate, fork, and a glass.
He put a small portion of spaghetti on his plate, and filled his glass with water. He brought the plate, fork, and glass back to the table and began eating in silence.
Craig couldn't get his mind off of his day dream. He badly wanted to confess to Tweek, but is that the way he wants to do it?
•-•-•
"Tweek? Are you alright?" Richard asked his son. Tweek nodded and rinsed off another plate. He nodded. "I'm fine. Just got a lot on my mind."
Another dish was put in the water filled sink. "You were just so quiet at dinner. I wanted to make sure that you're alright."
Tweek nodded as he put the last plate in the sink. "It's nothing, really. I just need to find a way to relax my brain."
Richard patted his shoulder. "Oh, alright. I'll leave you alone for now." Richard said and exited the kitchen.
Tweek sighed. He was very overwhelmed. His mind had been racing. Craig had been on his mind all day. He badly wanted to tell Craig about his feelings but he has no idea how he wants to.
Maybe making something would help with clearing his mind.
He got the ingredients to make what he wanted to make, and began preparing the main ingredient.
You guessed it!
Peaches!
Tweek began peeling and slicing the peaches. He put them into a blender, along with some ice cream, milk and vanilla extract.
While he was waiting for the ingredients to blend together, he got his hoodie and boots, preparing for a walk.
He turned off the blender and poured the liquid into a bottle. "I'm going for a walk!" Tweek shouted as he walked out the door.
He began walking around town, taking sips of his peach flavored drink every now and then. The smooth, cold drink tasted like heaven.
Tweek ended up at Starks Pond, one of his happy places. He loved everything about Starks Pond.
A nearby bench was planted to the ground, pretty close to the water. Tweek sat down and looked into the blue water.
"So pretty.." he whispered to himself as he took a sip of his drink.
Birds flew in the sun-setting sky. Though, the scenery was calm, the teen's mind wasn't. He still couldn't get the thought of asking Craig out of his head.
In the distance, two girls were walking around the pond, their hands connected together. Tweek could faintly hear them talking and laughing to each other.
Tweek sighed and into the clear blue water. He could faintly see fish swimming around.
The two girls recognized Tweek and decided to stop by and say hi. "Hey." One of the females said.
Tweek looked up. He recognized the two girls. They were also in the competition. Jenny and Lola. He waved at the girls as he took another sip from his drink.
"What are you drinking?" Lola asked. "A peach milkshake." He whispered as he took another sip.
Jenny gave Lola a concerned look and nodded. Something was obviously wrong. "Are you okay? You look sad." She said.
Tweek nodded. "I'm fine.. Just overthinking." He said, twitching slightly. Lola put a hand on his shoulder. "Hey, if you need to talk about it I'm here."
Tweek once again nodded. He sighed and looked down at the ground. "I have a huge crush on my best friend- actually scratch that. Crush probably isn't the right word- maybe it is! I'm not good at words! I'm in love with him!"
Lola was listening carefully to his words. She knows his situation far too well.
"I don't know how to tell him! I'm scared he won't accept my feelings. He means so much to me and I'd do anything for him."
Lola sat down on the bench next to him. "I know your situation. I had a huge crush on Jenny." She looked up into her girlfriend's beautiful blue eyes.
"I really wanted to tell her how I felt but I was too nervous to say anything. Eventually I gained the courage and told her." Lola said, smiling.
Jenny giggled and looked down at Tweek. "If I may ask, who is this friend you're having feelings for?"
Tweek tapped his fingertips together. "Umm.. err.. Craig." He whispered. Jenny nodded. "You're partner for the completion?" She asked. Tweek shook his head yes.
"Interesting." Lola said. "My advice, when you decide to confess, make sure it's somewhere quiet but beautiful. Maybe here for example."
Tweek was taking mental notes. "Any more advice?"
Jenny stepped in. "Wait until you're ready. Don't force yourself to tell him your feelings. Also wear something nice, or something that he thinks is cute on you."
More mental notes were taken. "Thank you girls."
The two girls nodded. "Anytime. I wish you luck." Jenny said as she walked away.
Tweek smiled to himself. "I should ask him on the last day of the competition." He said to himself.
He finished his milkshake and got back up, finishing off his walk.
