staig headcanons:
• Dislike each other at first but slowly find out they have more in common than they think but both just keep waiting and silently wishing for the other to first initiate something
• They bond over their similar music taste
• Whenever Stan catches Craig staring he thinks he’s glaring at him and is afraid his crush hates him, Craig flipping him off whenever he gets caught also does NOT help
• Stan’s friends try to reassure him by saying that he would definitely be able to beat Craig in a fight because he kinda sucked in that Tweek vs. Craig episode
• Whenever Stan gets the chance he just approves or immediately agrees with whatever Craig says as a way to show his interest (sometimes mistaken as sarcasm bc of their rivalry) and hoping that Craig gets the hint but he will frantically deny ever liking him at all (this hc the other way around would actually be quite cute too)
• When Stan texts Craig for a school matter or for whatever reason, it always concerns him if Stan’s dry ass texting means he’s mad at him or not but when they get closer he finds out that’s just the way he is
• Stan sometimes gets in detention just so he can spend some more time with Craig instead of actually making a move on him
• The whole class mistakes their pining over each as a rivalry because they’re both shitty at admitting it and/or showing it
• Cartman would probably be spreading rumors about how eventually a fight is definitely gonna end up happening between those two but then it turns out that Stan and Craig are actually a couple instead
