They both lay wrapped up in the old dirty blanket that lay on murdocs bed. It was too cold outside for 2D to stay the night in his basement room and the younger man never missed an opportunity to spend the night with the bassist. 2D felt murdoc shift in his sleep next to him. One of the Satanists eyes opened slowly and he smiled down at his singer. "Mornin' luv" he whispered. Stuart loved him like this. Just barely awake, with sleep still clouding his eyes. It was one of the only times he didn't look drunk or angry or anything really. He looked calm….sweet even. " Is two am muds no' mornin' yet" 2D sighed and snuggled deeper into the older man's arms. This was where he was sure he belonged. He had his uncertain moments just like anyone else. Moments where he felt out of place and awkward and ugly. But not here. He felt the bed shift as the older man rose and the feeling of lips quickly pressed against his forehead. As pathetic as it sounded, the rusted, smelly shack on wheels was starting to feel like a second home.
"Hey stu I'm going inside get something to eat wan' anything"?
2D shook his head and looked up at murdoc. He was leaning down over the singer with his arms on either side of his head. He smiled. "a'right" the older man said and with a quick kiss he was gone.
After laying in bed for a while the singer sighed, tired of being lazy, and got up to get in the shower. He turned on the water and caught his own reflection in the mirror while waiting for it to heat up. The singer's dark eyes looked over his marred neck and chest, reminders of the night before. He smiled as he remembered. Gentle touches and kisses turning into rough nails digging into his hips. The quick "I love you's", mostly from 2D himself. The heat and the rush as he climaxed. And maybe the best part was after, when murdoc thought he was asleep. The older man would hold him and sometimes talk to him. Tell 2D his fears and his hopes. He liked that side of the bassist and he hated that people assumed it didn't exist. It was a bit sad murdoc couldn't be that way when he was sober or when the younger man was awake. But whatever the circumstance the singer still loved every moment with him. 2D smiled to himself and absent mindedly walked out of the bathroom leaving the shower on behind him. "Wonder why I came in here…."
