Wow, it's hard to belive that it's been so long since I've posted on here! I've been working on this one for a while, I've got a good rough draft going on in my head :D
Well, here's the first chapter, the next one should be up tomorrow or the next day. Enjoy!
"Lord hear me now,
Junk boats and English boys,
Crashing out into the noise,
Electric fences and guns,"
2D was laying face-up and his bed, arms crossed over his eyes, unaware of the small Japanese girl standing in his doorway. Noodle stood in awe of his beauty, having only just witnessed it for the first time. Before this moment, he had been just 2D. Tall, goofy 2D, her best friend. But this wondrous scene she'd intruded on had changed her perspective entirely. 2D was shirtless, bathed in the dim light from his nightlight in the corner.
"You swallow me,
I'm a pill on your tongue,
Here on the nineteenth floor,
The neon lights make me come,"
Noodle found herself lulled by his voice, amazed at how it seemed to slow down time. Her heart caught in her throat and she felt a rush of pleasure flow through her. She tried to back away silently, as to not interrupt anything, but instead tripped over her own foot and crashed to the floor.
2D shot up and looked around, looking a bit shocked.
"Noods, yew okay?"
Noodle felt her face flush, "Yeah, I'm fine. Sorry, I was just leaving,"
2D gave her a funny look, "Why's ya face so red? Are ya sick?"
"N-no, 2D. I am perfectly okay. I'll see you later!"
And with that, she jumped up and ran back inside the studios leaving 2D completely confused. How long had she been there? 2D hoped she hadn't heard him singing, he was so horrible at it, he had no idea why Murdoc had picked him to sing.
Oh, but of course she was leaving! His singing had scared her off! It seemed perfectly logical to him. Humming the rest of Hong Kong to himself he started to straighten up his bedroom, contemplating Noodle as he did so.
She was pretty, and funny, smart and witty. Clever, and she'd never told anyone else of his secrets. Not even his ridiculous fear of the dark, or that he's always worried that an octopus will swim up the drain while he's having a shower. Of course, she'd reassured him many times that an octopus would never swim up the drain because they live in saltwater and they were miles from the sea, but 2D was still terrified.
2D was too busy thinking to notice Murdoc slink in and make his way for the pack of cigarettes on 2D's nightstand. He grinned evilly to himself and reached for the pack.
Almost there…
Almost there…
So close!
"Hey! What d'ya fink your doin?"
Murdoc jumped, and tried to act innocent.
"Wasn't doin nothin', face-ache,"
2D gave him a death stare, "Was too, you were gonna swipe me last pack of fags!"
Murdoc huffed and turned to leave.
"Wait, Muds!,"
Murdoc turned to face him, "Yeah?"
"Wot do ya think of Noods?"
Murdoc stood, puzzled for a minute.
"She's right nice, yeah?"
"Not like that Mudsy. I mean like…wewl, yew know…"
"You like 'er?"
2D tried not to grin like an idiot, "Yeah, wewl…a bit. Just a bit…"
Murdoc gave him an evil look and chuckled. It was so hilarious! The dullard was in love with her, he should have known. 2D had been giving her the googly eyes for while now. Oh, was he going to have so much fun with this!
"No, there's no 'just a bit' about it. You love 'er don' you?"
2D blushed and kicked the floor, "Maybe..'M not tellin' yew"
Murdoc snorted and stole a cigarette from the pack before heading back into the carpark.
"S'alright, mate. I already know,"
2D glared at him and walked to the other side of his room, slamming the door on Murdoc's retreating back. Was it really that apparent that he fancied her? Nah, couldn't be. She had no idea, right? Right?
Noodle ran through Kong, making her way to the lift and hoping that she didn't run into anyone on her way. She'd never felt like this before. Sure, she'd had crushes, but none of them felt this way. She reached the lift and punched the button, waiting nervously. The lift dinged annoyingly and the doors slid open.
When she finally reached her room, she found the door part of the way open. Curious, she pushed the door the rest of the way open to find Mike sprawled on her bed, smoking a cigarette.
"Hey! Put that out!"
Mike looked over at her and tossed the cigarette to the floor.
"Mike! What are you thinking? I've told you many times not to smoke in here!"
He looked apathetically at her as she stomped out his cigarette.
"Oh, Mike, I've realized something horrible today," Noodle hopped into her bed and rolled onto her stomach. Mike sat up and gave an interested look.
Noodle found herself blurting out, "I think that I like 2D!,"
No change in expression from her furry friend.
"I mean I'm not sure. I've never felt like this before. I heard him singing in his room, so I looked in and he looked so beautiful Mike. Like an angel!" Noodle eyes seemed glassy and distant.
Mike nodded and grabbed his tail, twisting it in his tiny hands.
"Maybe I just ate some bad sushi…Or I am sick. I don't know." She sighed, "Or maybe I am just making excuses,"
Mike patted her on the head and climbed down, waving to her as he exited her bedroom. Noodle threw a pillow at him, narrowly missing his head.
"You sure are helpful!" She yelled sarcastically. But he was already gone, leaving her alone to ponder at these new-found feelings.
Well, if you've made it this far, how about a review?
