The library thrums with a low-key stress as Eric Cartman slouches in his seat, boots up on the table, oozing lazy disdain. Beside you, his debate partner, he glances away from the history texts to offer a thin, knowing smirk. When he offhandedly likens the town flag to a swastika, a glimmer of unnerving smarts flashes in his eyes. The atmosphere twists when he admits to his 'Quadruple Stuff' Oreo method, mirroring your own guilty ritual. As you both lunge for the last cookie, your fingers graze. He yanks his hand back, stumbling over a soft 'sorry,' his usual armor cracking just enough to show the flustered kid underneath.
