Chapter Title: Sing Me Summfin'
Chapter Rating: K+


Dinner was left on the table for 2D. He didn't want to eat with them, so he waited until all of his band mates left.

He slowly sauntered into the empty kitchen and sat down on one of the chairs. He slowly picked at his food. He didn't taste any of it. He set his dishes in the sink, and headed for the balcony.

2D rested his hands on the railing and looked out at the deserted landfill site.

"I saw that day,
Lost my mind
Lord, I'm fine
Maybe in time,
You'll want to be mine
," he sang softly.

"Who are ya singing' to, 'D?"

He turned around quickly.

The Satanist stared back into his eyes.

"No one in particular," 2D replied, "Jus' myself."

Murdoc chuckled, walking up beside 2D. He stared off into the landfill site.

"You got a nice voice," Murdoc mumbled.

"Thanks. Never 'eard a compliment like that from yew, Muds," 2D replied.

"I 'ad to say it sometime," Murdoc laughed.

The both stayed quiet for a while.

"What were ya finkin' of today? In the bathroom?" Murdoc asked him. 2D shook his head, turning away from the landfill. He leaned back against the railing, looking up at the sky. "Stu?"

"I jus' –" 2D started. He looked at the ground. "Yew said my name."

"I did."

"An' I jus' –" He never did finish. He slowly looked up at Murdoc. Murdoc watched him closely. Should he tell Muds about his feelings for Noodle? "I don't – really wanna say."

"S'fine. Your thoughts are yours to keep a secret, if you wanna."

"I thought yew would 'it me," 2D whispered.

"Don't need to. They're yer thoughts," Murdoc chuckled.

"Thank yew."

"Mhmm. Well, I'm 'eading back to the winne for the night. See ya, Stu."

"Bye," 2D whispered back. He watched Murdoc open the glass door and softly close it behind him. Murdoc smiled at Stu and left from his sight.

"Did – did Murdoc just smile at me? And he called me Stu! Twice! No name calling! Whoa!" Stu thought excitedly.

"Big change in spirit!" 2D laughed out loud.

He looked at the landfill site once more and ventured back into Kong Studios.

2D walked into the first floor lobby. He pressed the elevator button with one finger.

"It's coming up
It's coming up
It's coming up
It's coming up
It's there," he sang along with the elevator. The doors opened and he smiled slightly. He walked into the elevator, pressed the ground floor button and the doors closed, taking him down to the ground floor.

He walked through the empty car lot and peered over at Murdoc's Winnebago. Muds was smoking a cigarette, as he leaned against his winne. A smoke. That's what 2D needed.

"Oi, Muds!" 2D called.

"Yeah?" Murdoc replied.

"Could I get one o' those?" he asked.

"Git yer ass over 'ere then."

2D smiled and walked towards the 'bago. Murdoc pulled a cigarette out of the box and lit it for 2D. Muds handed it to Stu and he took it in between his middle and index fingers. He took a long drag.

"Thanks," he smiled, the smoke escaping his mouth as he spoke.

"No problem, 'D. Wot 'appened to your cigs?"

"Smoked 'em all –" 2D laughed, taking another drag. " – while I wos finkin'."

"Finkin' a lot lately?"

"Yeah."

"You should go buy some more then," Murdoc said.

"Where?"

"Nearest town o' course," Murdoc laughed.

"I 'ate shoppin' out at those places."

"Why?"

"Well – 'alf of 'em know I'm 2D from the famous band Gorillaz and the other 'alf give me looks. 'Cos of my 'air and' eyes an' stuff."

"Just ignore the lot then. Easy as that."

"Are yew comin' then?" Stu asked.

"Wot?"

"Are yew comin' wif me? Into town."

"Sure. Wot's ta lose?" Murdoc laughed. "Pick up a few chicks on the way."

"Yew would do that," 2D said, taking another drag. The nicotine was making him content.

"Well, a man does need 'is fun."

2D laughed.

"Want me ta grab ya one, Stu?" Murdoc chuckled. "A lot o' chicks would want ya."

"Nah, m' fine." Drag. "Don't need any."

"You sure?"

"Positive. Don't want to make a big mistake, like I did wif Paula."

Murdoc's smile wiped clean off of his face. 2D wouldn't look at him, after he had said that. It hurt his heart. He took a long drag of his cigarette and sighed; a cloud of smoke leaving his mouth.

"M' sorry," Murdoc finally whispered. "I shouldn't 'ave –"

"I shouldn't 'ave brought it up. S' my fault. M' so stupid."

2D threw his cig to the ground and stepped on it angrily.

"Me an' my big stupid mouth," he growled, still looking at the ground. "So stupid."

"Don't say tha."

He looked up at Murdoc with a hurt expression.

"I wos so stupid. So in luv wif our luv, that I didn't even notice she wos bad. That she was a whore. An' that she 'ad liked yew. I jus' – wasn't payin' enough attention. I wasn't watchin' yew e-enough..."

Murdoc watched 2D with an open mouth.

"M' sorry –" 2D muttered, looking Murdoc straight in the eye, " – you shouldn't 'ave to listen to my nonsense –" A tear slowly rolled down his pale cheek. " – m-my ramblin'..." He wiped it away; a reflex.

"I want ta 'ear ya, Stu."

"I should go..." 2D murmured, turning away from Murdoc. Murdoc grabbed his arm.

"Don't..." Murdoc smiled softly. "I really like your voice..."

Stu smiled slightly. His heartbeat quickened. A compliment from Murdoc meant everything. 2D knew he would only hear them on rare occasions.

"You like it?" 2D whispered, wiping his eyes.

"Well, you are a singer!" Murdoc laughed. "You should sing me summfin'."

"Now?"

"Yeah. Jus' a small part of one of our songs."

"Wot song?"

"The windmill part, in Feel Good Inc. Even though I don't play in tha part, s' my favourite."

"I need music," 2D murmured.

"You don't. Jus' wing it."

2D smiled and nodded slowly. He tapped his foot, to the beat of the song. Murdoc smiled at him, crossing his arms. 2D laughed, still tapping his foot.

"Sing."

"M' tryin'," 2D chuckled.

He cleared his throat. The words flowed softly...

"Windmill, Windmill for the land
Turn forever hand in hand
Take it all in on your stride
It is sinking, falling down
Love forever, love is free
Let's turn forever you and me
Windmill, windmill for the land
Is everybody in
?"

"Wow," was all that escaped Murdoc's mouth.

2D laughed, "Was it tha good?"

"Absolutely stunnin'."

"Yew 'ave to be kiddin' me!"

"I'm not, Stu. You got some real talent."

"So do yew," 2D smiled. "Playin' bass. Yew're the best."

"It ain't so 'ard. You could even learn, if ya wanted to. But, your voice – thas a talent. S' a gift."

2D laughed. "A gift? I don't fink so! M' jus lucky." 2D laughed again.

"Even yer laugh flows like a song," Murdoc said.

2D laughed a third time and Murdoc smiled.

"Sing 'nother part of a song," Murdoc offered.

"Wot one this time?"

"That one part in Kids With Guns. The monsters part. Thas 'nother one of my favourite parts to our songs."

2D started tapping his foot to the beat again. His voice echoed in the empty car lot...

"And they're turning us into monsters
Turning us into fire
Turning us into monsters
It's all desire
It's all desire
It's all desire
..."

"Sound bettea when I got you guys," 2D murmured, opening his eyes slowly.

"You don't need any of us fer that!" Murdoc scoffed. "Perfect the way it sounds."

"Thank yew."

"Well, I'm goin' ta bed. Thanks fer singin'. See ya in the mornin'."

"G'night, Muds," 2D said softly.

Murdoc smiled, opening his winne's door. "Night Stuart." And he closed the door behind himself.

2D stood still for a few moments. For some reason, he was expecting Murdoc to come back out. He never did.

"All alone, all alone
All alone, all alone
All alone, all alone
All alone, all alone
..." (A/N: I know 2D doesn't repeat it twice in the song, and it's those weird voices, but who else is gunna sing the other line for him?)

2D laughed at himself. He heard Murdoc laughing from in his 'bago.

"Only fer the night, Stu!" he heard Murdoc exclaim.

He laughed again and sauntered over to his place. He opened the white door and walking into his messy room.

He opened his bed side table drawer and pulled out a bottle of pills. He took two and swallowed them down easily. These pills helped him sleep easier.

He changed into his pyjamas and fell onto his bed.

"Stupid damn lights..." he sighed, getting up again.

He flicked the switch off and sauntered back over to his bed. He tripped over something on the ground and fell onto the hard mattress.

"Ow?" He rubbed his face. 2D pushed himself up and fell back onto his bed. His bedside lamp was still on. He always did leave it on. Stu wasn't too fond of the dark.

2D laid on his side and pulled his knees up to his stomach. He sighed loudly. "Quiet in here," he thought boredly.

"All alone, jus' as our song says," he muttered to himself.

"All alone, all alone
All alone, all alone
All alone, all alone
All alone, all alone
..."

He yawned loudly. 2D scooted under his blankets. He sang himself to sleep.

"...Maybe in time,
you'll want to be mine
..."
