A/N: Hello! This is the first fanfic I've written in years, so please be kind.~
For those who aren't familiar with Bonesy, he's a side character in the Gorillaz world. He was introduced in the Phase 1 version of Kong Studios (which is now Plastic Beach) on the Gorillaz website, complete with his own game! He's the smiling skeleton you often see on merchandise. Now a days you don't see him much, most likely because he was more of a Phase 1 character, I suppose.
This is for one of my best friends, Isaac, who RPs Bonesy along with some other characters; the storyline is his idea, told through me. Heidi is Kenzie's original character. Love you both~! Hope you like it...
Deciding to go out today was a mistake. Bonesy can sense it, feeling almost paranoid as he slowly walks down the crowded London streets.
He usually went out at this time during the day, just to breathe in the warm summer air and watch children as they ran up and down the crowded sidewalks, playing a game of hide and seek amongst the crowd of tourists and annoyed locals.
But today, something told him that there was bound to be some sort of trouble.
One block to go, one block to go...
"Bonesy! Hey!" The small, skeletal figure cringes as he hears the familiar Scottish-sounding accent, but quickly turns around to the source of the voice, a huge grin spreading across his face.
"Hello, Heidi!" Bonesy replies happily, feeling immediately calmer as the name rolls off his tongue.
Someone familiar...
Heidi was pretty, with blonde, curled hair that looked white when it reflected off the sun. She was curvy in a way that would make you think she came straight from a sixties pin up magazine, complete with her red lipstick, freckles, and wardrobe mainly consisting of polka dot patterns. He had met the Scottish darling during one of his many appearances backstage at concerts, alongside the Gorillaz at meet and greets; she had been the first one in line at one if their first gigs in London. Her and Bonesy had hit it off almost immediately, quickly exchanging numbers and promising to call, both of them ignoring Murdoc's annoyed protests. The two had quickly become close friends.
Fans had always adored Bonesy and where pleasantly surprised when he arrived, recognizing him as the "cute skeleton from the Gorillaz website". He had made it routine during tours that he would sneak into Noodle's bag while the other three band members were rushing to get their equipment together, trying to make an effort to be on time to their own concert at least once. Bonesy smiles at the memories that come with Heidi and promises himself to call her soon.
Heidi gives a small nod and returns the smile, the look in her eyes telling him that she's in a rush to get somewhere. Bonesy waves as Heidi keeps walking.
"I'll see you around, Bonesy! I've gotta get to...!" Her voice fades as she gets further away, quickly blending in with the crowd.
And Bonesy is on edge again.
He looks up as he picks up the pace of his walking, sighing in relief when the crowd thins out as he turns onto a familiar suburban street.
Almost there, almost there...
Bonesy can hear the faint hum of Murdoc's bass plugged into his amp, which calms his nerves slightly. He's on Wobble Street, at least. Murdoc always leaves the window open when he's practicing, so that anyone who walks by their little flat would admire his playing, although not many can appreciate the noise a bass makes on its own.
A few more steps and the faint hum grows louder, but the familiar queasy feeling is Bonesy's stomach suddenly grows stronger and he feels like he'll faint any second. Bonesy somehow knows what this means.
No, no! I need to get away from all these people...
And he collapses before he can take another step.
