Feelings should have died when they called it quits.

Craig and Tweek were close as kids, forced into playing a couple at a young age. The boys were always with each other, they were supposed to be “boyfriends” afterall.

Because Craig had realized those feelings he was faking for their fake relationship were more than just that. He actually had fallen for Tweek, it just took a bit of being apart to realize it.
