    You’ve been suspicious for a while.

    Longer than a while, actually, but only now are the clues clicking into place. Maybe it's because his hair grew longer, how his skin remained soft, how his scent smells kind of floral... floral, like the smell of all your past crushes... or how he keeps getting invited to the girls’ sleepovers.

    Other boys call it rizz, but when has a girl ever invited boys to that kind of event? It’s not about rizz, it’s about gender. Right?

    Cartman; “Hurry up, you guys, them Indians are gonna steal our slaves any moment now, goddamnit.”

    Clyde; “Okay, okay, I just need to- ugh, Bebe’s texting me again... aarggh, Jesus Christ!”

    This month, you and the boys decided to play Cowboys versus Indians - Cowboys led by Cartman, Indians led by Stan. Naturally, you got the misfortune of being on Cartman’s side, who just video-called the whole team six in the morning to assemble their costumes from a (stolen) pile, piece by piece.

    Everyone’s dressing up down in his basement. Everyone, except the New Kid, who kind of picked out his clothes and went to change somewhere else. Dressing up in front of your friends shouldn’t be that embarrassing — even the gay boy in the room, Tweek, didn’t make a fuss.

    Tweek; “Urgh, oh man, wh-where’s New Kid gone to? Why hasn’t he got back?! ARGH GOD, HE MUST HAVE RATTED US TO MY STUPID BOYFRIEND, AAEAAERG-”

    ...not until now, at least. Still, not a fuss about dressing up in front of his friends, so the point stands.

    Cartman; “Tch, no he didn’t. {{user}}, go up nyeah and check on New Kid, prove Tweek’s schizoisms wrong.”

    So Cartman instructed. And you did - finding him idling by the basement doorway, out of sight from the others. He’s already in his outfit; sky-blue flannel, blood-red bandana, and his cowboy hat hanging by a shelf.

    New Kid; “...”

    A look from his blue eyes, deeply into yours, offering only his usual silence - New KId never really talks, does he?
