A.N: If any of you have read my one-shot "Love's Hangover" you'd realize that this story line is the same as that one...however, it won't be exactly the same. I'm taking my ideas from that one-shot and expanding it...so yeah! Thoughts are in BOLD! Song lyrics in Italics.

2D and Noodle battled the game out. However, 2D was doing a horrible job since his excuse for a brain wasn't on the game entirely. Every few seconds he's glance up at Noodle only to be disappointed to see her focus was one-handed percent on the game. After a good two hours of playing 2D shut off the game. The screen went blank, sending the whole room into darkness. 2D felt the bed move breath him as Noodle moved herself a bit closer to him.
"2D-san?"
"Ya?"
"What now?"
"Oh...well..." 2D said leaning over to turn on a lava lamp that was next to his bed...a birthday gift from Noodle from the previous year, "we could...uh...watch a movie."
Noodle smiled, "that would be nice...could we watch one of your old zombie movies?"
2D reluctantly got off the bed and switched around the Nintendo system to a VHS system. The closest zombie movie to him was covered in dust. He blew it off before he slid it into the VHS player. When he sat back down onto the bed Noodle slid close to him and relaxed her body into his causing him to take a sharp breath in. Noodle noticed this.
"Are you alright?"
2D hesitated to answer, scared of the words that would come out of his mouth, quickly he took another breath, trying to calm himself. "Jus' fine..."
Noodle looked up and gave him a quick smile and then turned her focus back to the movie. The black and white film left shadows moving throughout the room, giving Noodle a slightly demonic glow as the lack of colors splashed against her face. Somehow, if possible, it made her look more beautiful in 2D's eyes. Suddenly he found his arms going for her waist and they slowly and seductively wrapped around them, sparks shot up his fingertips as they brushed against his skin. She giggled slightly and it was followed by a yawn. With this the Jap slouched down to try to make herself more comfortable, making her body come even closer to 2D's. It made him grin as her body slid against his and she slipped slowly through his arms. The silence between them was starting to agitate him though. As for the movie...he found it boring, he'd seen it so many times he could say who would say the next line and word for word what it would be. He wanted to talk to Noodle, not just sit in silence with her.
"Noodle, love?"
"Hai, 2D?"
"I locked teh door...'ow'd ya get in?"
"You think I haven't figured out how to rig that lock by now?" Noodle sneered.
"Oh..." said 2D biting his lower lip. That couldn't be good...Without warning she let out a loud and large yawn and arched her back, pressing her hips into his. It made 2D jolt a bit but quickly he relaxed his body again before she could notice.
"Tired?"
She nodded slightly, "I stayed up really late last night." Obviously she hadn't noticed anything.
"Want tah go tah sleep then?" He could have slapped himself...he didn't want her to leave yet...
"Iie...the movie is making me tried though,"
Sighing with relief and taking this as a suggestion, he picked up the remote that he had left on the bed and stopped the movie. With his long arm he turned the lava lamp back on. The bed sheets were disheveled from them sitting on them. This involuntary gave 2D's thoughts and images in his mind. Quickly he tried to block them out but with a quick glance at Noodle the thoughts only intensified and cleared in his mind. Suddenly he was damning himself for wearing his tightest pair of jeans and he started looking around the room for a distraction, any distraction...but he had spent so much time in the room nothing was new to him and therefore, nothing to take his mind of these things they shouldn't have been on. He felt his face reddening and eyes widening a bit. He let go of Noodle and backed up a little as his breath threatened to quicken. Noodle squinted her eyes and blinked in confusion. She turned around to face 2D. "Are you sure you're ok?"
I see her face
"Uhh...umm..." he was stammering as he felt himself backing up even more, away from Noodle. Inside, he was screaming at himself...this was his chance for him to tell Noodle what had been on his mind ever since she was sixteen and he had taken a small interest in her. And how that interest had grown. Taking a deep breath he forced himself to try again, "I uhh...I'm ...erm.."
Noodle looked at him, her head tilted slightly to the right, "2D-san?"
There was no use for any words right now for 2D. Nervousness was over taking him for reasons that he couldn't come up with to answer himself. Impulse and the flight-or-fight fear took over his body.
"I gotta leave!" he cried as he leapt off the bed and bolted up the stairs, nearly tripping every other step.
Noodle sat back on the bed and shrugged. 2D always had been weird and was one to act out randomly and she just wrote it off as one of those times. Perhaps it was due to all the new drugs he had brought home the other day too. Figuring she wouldn't worry she wrote it off to one of those few reasons. After pulling up her knee high socks, which had slid down to mid-calf during playing video games, she lied back onto 2D's bed and fell into a soft slumber.

2D was in the instrument room hammering out chords on the keyboard. The chords were random and didn't make musical sense at all but it was a way for him to get out all this nervous tension that had built up in his room. Even though he had liked Noodle for three years now he had never gotten so nervous when he was around her. However, since she was fourteen they hadn't' been in that situation either...alone in his room, in the dark. Couldn't forget the fact that her attire was seductive without her even trying. With the thoughts he hammered on the keyboard some more.
I won't be nervous 'round Noodle...He thought to himself Won't be...known her too long...not worth it...knee high socks looked good on her legs today...no, no, no, no! Oh, GOD! Gotta get outta these jeans!
The random keyboard chords and notes stopped abruptly and the instrument room's door slammed shut. The lift was called the his bedroom door was once opened again. Once again he stumbled down the stairs and frantically searched the floor for anything that was looser than the jeans he was in as he tugged the ones that clung to his body off. The room was still covered in darkness and the plasma TV had shut itself off due to the inactivity. When the jeans slipped down his legs and pooled around his ankles he sighed in relief. Finally his eyes had adjusted to the dark and he started looking for a looser pair of pants again, but this time not as frantically and he was able to breathe normally. It wasn't until he picked up the pajama pants that he had changed out of earlier that he noticed violet hair spread out over his pillow on his bed.
It doesn't help me
Oh shit...He tripped over the pajama pants that was tugging onto his right leg and fell with a loud "thud" onto the floor.Staying as still as possible on his side he hoped he didn't wake Noodle up or that maybe she didn't even notice at all.
"2D-san?"
Unfortunately for him, that wasn't the case.
"Errr...yes?" He refused to turn and face her...his pajama pants still weren't on properly and he was still exposing a lot of his lower body.
"What on earth are you doing?"
"Thas' a veri lovely question..." His mind was kicking himself for letting that be the first thing out of his mouth.
As Noodle pulled the sheets off of her 2D inched the pajama pants up and finally got them around his waist. Praying that she wouldn't notice anything and reminding himself that the room was still really dark he rolled over to face Noodle and sat up, crossing his legs beneath him.
"You've been acting very strange today," Noodle stated as she rubbed her eyes. "Is there anything you need to tell me?"
2D blinked a few times. He had the perfect opportunity right now but his mind was going dead when it came to words...
