A/N: had to change the chapter title, will change again once official lyrics are released.
Bright orange clashed with his green skin, Noodle almost wanted to tell the older bandmate that he looked like a right pumpkin, or, considering he was thin, an ugly carrot. Almost.
"What now? You finally decided to visit me?"
Murdoc banged his hand down on the glass, sneering when Noodle smirked, legs crossing over the other, eyeing the plane that separated them.
"I wanted to talk to you."
"You do, eh?" Muds rubbed his chin, "'Wot the hell do you want?"
Noodle exhaled though her nose, "You're in jail. We need a bassist. You know anyone?"
"'Wot's in it for me?"
Noodle pursed her lips, unsure of whether or not she would tell him Russel was already working on freeing him, she shook her head deciding against, hand digging in her purse, she clutched his phone in her hand, brandishing it lightly.
"You help me, you can have this."
Murdoc eyed his phone in interest and she could already tell a plan was forming in that brain of his; he cracked his knuckles, raising a sole finger, leaning closer to her, "I know one guy. Ace."
Her brow notched, voice determined and firm, "Talk."
Noodle folded her jacket quietly, setting it aside as she sat down on her soft mattress. Katsu padded towards her, setting in her lap, purring as she stroked its fur absentmindedly. She pulled her phone from her pocket, scrolling the attachments, eying the file sent to her. She opened it, eyes widening slightly, a soft snort escaping, of course.
Of course he was green.
Slipping her phone back into her pocket, she gathered Katsu in her arms, leaving the room to find 2D.
Wheels hitting pavement, the exhaust and AC running loudly, 2D waited, watching as Noodle hugged Russel goodbye, climbing beside 2D in the passenger seat. The drive to the airport was quick, city traffic surprisingly tolerable as they hit the road, pulling further away from their house. Noodle messed with the radio, laughter erupting as she sang along with him, their hair whipping in the wind, their voices mockingly off-key to lovesick lyrics.
Lights and buildings and the bustling city surround them, he's parking the car, helping her with her trunk, moving the thing alongside her. A happy smile when a fan spots them, fidgeting with his sunglasses as they fell down to his nose, waiting patience when Noodle parts from him to check in.
Shifting feet, the clacking of her heels against the tile, she watched him as she adjusted her hat, her own glasses glinting in the light. Above them both, the overhead called, her flight boarding and she reaches him in quick strides, a sheepish smile gracing when the toes of her boots tap against his.
Thin arms wound themselves around his shoulders, bringing him down, and she's close, the smell of him invading her nose, his hair sweeping across her skin, tickling.
"I'll miss you," she murmured into the crook of his neck.
He relaxed into her touch, resting his chin down onto her, "'Yeh, me too."
The overhead chimed once more as Noodle released him, her lips ghosting his cheek, a devious shine glimmering in her eyes as she watched him flush, frozen as she skipped away towards the terminal. She swiveled on her feet, her hands cupped, cheeks ablaze.
"I'll be back before you know it!"
Then she was gone, disappearing from his sight, bounding past the corner without another look back, the sound of his laugh spurring her on.
