Ever since fourth grade, Tweek Tweak and Craig Tucker have been a "couple". Well... it was very complicated. The two were first assumed as a couple by some transfer girls from the Eastern part of the world, then they "broke up" so everyone would stop assuming they were dating but Tweek went off script, causing everyone to turn against Craig and frankly, Tweek found it a little lonely without Craig. So the two "got back together" so things could go back to normal. For the first little bit, they were just friends playing this part of dating yet, now, the two boys in grade twelve, their relationship became.. well, real.

The talk about braces for Craig started in grade ten since he had a tooth gap that made Craig talk with a lisp, however, his parents kinda just prayed that Craig would get over the talking curve and be able to speak normally. Although when grade twelve came, Craig's parents couldn't ignore the problem their son was having. So, Craig finally got braces at the fine age of seventeen. Everyone at school was quite shocked at the sight of Craig with braces, yet, it didn't get ignored by some teasing. Some students, Eric Cartman, would call Craig every insulting name you could give someone with braces. However, Craig just let it fall off of him like water on a ducks back.

Craig wasn't the only one affected by his braces. It was also Tweek and by one thing.

Kissing.

Before Craig got his braces, the two boys could lay in Craigs room, making out until they were flushed and couldn't breathe properly. Now? Tweek and Craig couldn't make out for too long before Tweek's lips got caught in Craig's braces, leaving small cuts that would ooze blood for hours. There was countless make out sessions that had to be cut short due to this issue and it was starting to get on Craig's nerves.

Today, it was a Friday of a long weekend and Tweek and Craig had just arrived at the Tucker's home. Craig's parents weren't home at the moment since they were taking Tricia to one of her dance rehearsals and wouldn't be back home until eight that evening. Which met the two boys had the home to themselves for five hours.

It didn't take long until the two were up in Craig's room and on his bed, the only sound being Stripe running in her hamster wheel and the quiet heavy breathing coming from Tweek and Craig. Their bags were tossed to the floor at the edge of Craig's bed, the space boy's hands helping Tweek take off the jacket he was wearing. The sound of the fabric hitting the floor being one of the loudest things in that house. Tweek sat carefully on Craig's lap, always being careful to never crush Craig even though he didn't weigh that much. Their lips moved in a rhythm that they practiced long ago. However, like a curse, the moment didn't last long before Tweek caught his lip in Craig's braces. The pain shot through Tweek's body and he pulled his head away from Craig quickly, blood starting to form at the cut that was on the corner of his bottom lip. It looked pretty bad and Craig immediately sat up straight, his hands coming to cradle Tweek's face.

"Fuck, shit, I'm so sorry, babe." Craig said in a gentle tone that was only meant for Tweek.
