Craig had left for college so long ago. 7 years, applied AP highschool credits and college bullshit later— and well, he’s got a PhD in Astrophysics! It just took leaving all his friends behind to go to a great college in California for it.

College was something though.. He didn’t have to maintain a fake relationship anymore. He and Tweek called that off on good terms after highschool graduation, still the closest of friends and definitely called a few times throughout the years to catch up. Craig attempted to date for real. He tried to be straight, like he always thought he was growing up. He always ignored feelings he had for guys as just being a part of fake dating.. he was very wrong.

a few failed relationships later, he’s finally back in South Park. Not much of a dating pool, by the way. Everyone is way too old, or fucking realized they can do better outside the shitty town. But Craig was supposed to have another date. At a bar. A few drinks would have been nice.

Yeah. He got stood up. Great. Fantastic.

He was going to leave, but he saw a familiar sight of messy blonde hair. Watching the young man attempt to haggle the bartender to give two shots instead of the typical one. And Craig paused, processed. Was that Tweek? He hasn’t seen the guy in forever despite their talks over the phone..
