"That pasta was really nice Stu"
Noodle said thoughtfully and beamed up at him. He grinned in pride back down at her before shutting the dishwasher door and starting up the machine. He walked slowly around the kitchen with Noodle hot on his trail admiring him.
"Thanks… sorry it wasn't fancy restaurant food, I wasn't really expecting ya to stay"
2-D blushed a bit knowing that he did expect her to stay but even then not to eat. Noodle knew this too but thought it wasn't worth wasting her life on the pathetic matter. She only wanted 2-D now. She had been patiently waiting all night like a good girl but now she felt like getting naughty. But 2-D seemed as dim as ever which didn't help at all.
"So… what now?"
He questioned looking totally lost. Noodle secretly smiled to herself knowing that it would be a great time to go to bed.
"Well… what's the time?"
2-D glanced above her at the clock on the wall. He looked back down at her and smiled briefly.
"It's 9:26 love"
Noodle walked closer to him so they were only inches apart and she eyed him smugly. 2-D smiled back uncertainly.
"… Time for bed"
She whispered. 2-D nodded lightly and freed himself from Noodle's trance and walked over to the door. He stopped in the doorway and looked back at her anxiously.
"Um I have a shower before I go to bed… that awright?"
Noodle's eyes widened in excitement and she seemed aroused at the thought of seeing 2-D naked in the shower. She quickly snapped herself out of it and nodded at 2-D still waiting for a comment.
"Yeah, it's fine Stu… don't be too long"
"I'll try love"
He said jokingly and proceeded down the corridor of his apartment. Noodle waited silently and heard the bathroom door close… but it didn't lock. The shower turned on and the fresh steaming water was heard pouring out onto the floor. Noodle couldn't decide if she wanted to sneak into the shower with him or if she wanted to wait and surprise him once he got out. Noodle walked around the kitchen, her mind pacing a million miles per hour then she suddenly stopped and a horrible look of disgust crept over her face. She had changed completely! 2-D just kissed her and now her mind was poisoned with dirty thoughts and hormones. She cursed 2-D and thought maybe she should just leave and make him come and get her… and she was back right where she started from. Noodle sighed impatiently.
"Dammit 2-D! ...You just kill me you know that?"
She said aloud to herself. Noodle looked around the kitchen. It was actually quite nice and way better organised than his room in Kong let alone an apartment! The Axe Princess walked out into the living room and slumped onto the couch lazily. She yawned and grabbed the remote and turned on the large TV. What would there be to watch on a Friday night at 9:30 on TV? Noodle mindlessly flipped through channels till she fell onto a movie she recognized. Van Helsing. The Vampires were a dead giveaway. Noodle shrugged and watched from about halfway through the movie. She needed something to preoccupy her mind while she was waiting for her boyfriend.
After about 10 minutes, Noodle heard the running water finally stop. She was alerted and knew he was almost out. She turned off the flash TV and got off the couch and approached the corridor. Noodle could hear noises of a towel rustling through the door next to her. 2-D. The teen walked over and waited at the door for him to appear. She looked down the corridor and got a clear view of his bedroom. It was nothing like it was at Kong. It still was a bit of a mess but apart from that, it had completely changed. And Noodle thought that she would enjoy her first night's stay at 2-D's house…
Suddenly the door of the bathroom opened and banged against Noodle's shoulder while she was caught of guard. She winced in pain and quickly stepped away from the door to let out the ex-singer. He opened the door and slipped out and rushed to her side. Noodle seemed to have forgotten that she was in pain and stared at his body from beneath her violet bangs as she blushed viciously. Only his towel was wrapped around his waist and this aroused Noodle more than ever. 2-D rubbed her shoulder lightly.
"Sorry love, did I hurt you?"
"I'm fine 'D"
She said cutely still looking up and down at his pale figure. Another thing that she had noticed, No Murdoc No bruises! His body looked so unhealthily skinny but at the same time so muscular. Noodle had no idea how he could pull that off. She smiled and 2-D walked down the corridor to his room holding his plain white towel about his waist. Noodle watched him and felt disappointment as he shut the door behind him. She sighed and thought she better clean up a bit herself.
Noodle stepped into the slightly steaming room and shut the door closed. She wiped the condensation off the mirrors and stared at her reflection. She brushed back her silky smooth violet hair with her hands and straightened her white t-shirt to reveal her curves more clearly. Then Noodle thought… why would he love someone like me? I'm not beautiful or anything, I'm just a pathetic cold-hearted Asian girl. She quickly shook off the question and her hypocritical answers. Noodle didn't have anything with her apart from her cell phone and her wallet in her pocket. She didn't think she would need anything else. Noodle didn't have her toothbrush or hairbrush or pyjamas or anything. Noodle cringed angrily. It made her feel unclean.
She leaned over to one side and looked at her neck and saw the deep bite marks and the slight bruising around it. She gingerly touched it and flinched, it still hurt a bit. In her mind Noodle was thinking what a bastard but in reality she liked it. It looked cool for some strange obscure reason. Noodle eventually shrugged it off and left the bathroom. Her little heart increasing its pace with every beat it made. She started to feel anxious and she neared 2-D's room, the door still closed. She put out a shaking arm and her palm and fingers enclosed around the door handle. She twisted it and opened the door secretly wanting to catch 2-D in the nude but when she opened it, it was too late. He was already wearing long pyjama pants and a plain black t-shirt. Noodle smiled as he set up the bed for them, her mind having not forgotten its aim. 2-D turned to her and grinned.
"Ya ready for bed love?"
"… Yeah"
She stated coolly and walked to the other side of the bed opposite 2-D. Noodle folded the covers over for her to get in and 2-D stared at her in confusion. She noticed this and stopped.
"Um are you sure you wanna sleep in those? I got some loose clothes if ya want to use them…"
2-D turned around and went to his drawers and rummaged through them trying to find a big enough t-shirt of his for a female body. Noodle smirked and thought of something crazy… something she would probably regret but that was her problem and she'd deal with it if she had to. The cheeky Jap bent down and took off her black ankle socks and threw them on the floor carelessly. She undid the button and zip on her black skinny jeans and slide them off her perfect legs, tossing the pants next to her socks. Noodle reached the hems of her shirt and lifted it over her head and let it drop to the ground.
"… Ok this might be a little bit tight but I'm sure it will fit…"
2-D faded off as he turned around and his black hollow eyes bulged shockingly at the sight before him. Noodle stood half naked (and freezing cold) next to her pile of clothes on the ground. Noodle blushed a violent dark shade of red from his expression and smiled grimly. 2-D looked her up and down and at her beautiful feminine curves. Her breasts had actually grown and were now cupped with a lacy pink padded bra and her hips had gotten wider with matching underwear. Noodle waited as 2-D still stared at her. After a while Noodle coughed to try and get his attention and his head snapped to view her face.
"Um I can just go to sleep like this… can't I, 2-D?"
2-D opened his mouth to speak but seemed to be caught up with his words.
"S-sure love…"
He said. Noodle smiled happily and continued getting into his bed. 2-D hastily turned around and stuffed the carefully chosen clothes into the drawer and shut it and flipped around to face her. Her arms were behind her head and her breathing was quiet, her chest slowly rising up and down. 2-D shivered and stared at her as he pointed to the wall above her.
"C-could you turn on that light… there…"
Noodle nodded and turned around to face the wall and pressed the button and the bright light shone down upon her. 2-D nodded and flipped the switch for the main light off making the room glow a bit dimly. The curtains were already drawn and everything was perfect. Noodle was practically screaming inside with excitement. She carefully studied every move he made as he crawled into the bed next to her. He snuggled down and laid his head gently on the pillow, his eyes still open.
"What was that about love?"
"…What was what about?"
"Why'd ya want to sleep in ya underwear?"
Noodle began to blush again and sunk down more into the bed and held the covers over her cold shoulders. She shrugged and looked at 2-D with an absent minded face.
"I don't know… more comfortable"
"Right"
2-D said not buying it at all. He rolled his eyes and turned onto his back and looked up at the ceiling. Noodle continued to gaze at him hoping he wasn't tired or anything. Noodle needed to make her move now.
"… What made you love me?"
"… Everything"
"I don't understand"
"Everything about ya… the way you looked, they way you talked, your humour, style, everything. Even ya mischievous to be honest"
Noodle faced him and smiled cheekily as he yawned.
"I still got heaps of that in me after all this time…"
"Yeah sure love, whatever"
He said unbelievingly and chuckled softly. Noodle sighed and prepared herself for 'fun'. Actually she didn't know what she was doing anymore. She was just making this up as she went. (A lot like the writer of the story actually…) Noodle rolled over so the side of her body touched Stuart's and she tried to push him off.
"My bed! My bed!"
She yelled as 2-D laughed at her getting pushed halfway off the bed. He grabbed the best posts behind him to hold him on but the forces built up between the two, they both passed each other and Noodle fell on top of 2-D. They both froze in fear and suspicion not even drawing a breath. Finally, one spoke…
"… Hi how ya doing?…"
"…Noodle, get off me"
2-D said annoyingly and squirmed underneath her body. Noodle had come this far and she wasn't going to leave it at that because she was squashing 2-D, oh no. Noodle pinned him down and opened her legs so one was on each side of his legs. 2-D watched in confusion as Noodle sat up, took his arms and held them together above his head, trapping him this time. The covers slid off Noodle's back and down to her feet letting the cold air hit them both. Noodle held her awkward position until she slipped and fell on top of 2-D again. She looked into his face and couldn't help but laugh. 2-D looked serious.
"… What are you doing love?"
"… The same thing as you did"
Noodle remembered what he did to her neck and saw that 2-D had one of his own. 2-D raised an eye brow confusingly.
"Are ya trying to seduce me love?"
"Well if that's what you were doing before then yeah"
"But I thought you weren't ready…?"
"… I never said that!"
"… So ya are ready?"
"Only if you are!"
"I was ready from the beginning"
"So was I!"
"…Really?"
"Yes!"
"… Eh? What? I thought ya weren't!"
Noodle sighed wearily and lowered her head onto 2-D's chest shaking slightly. She lifted it up laughing as 2-D stared at her like she was a manic. It was a very confusing time for 2-D. Noodle decided it wasn't worth the trouble of an argument. She kicked the sheets right to the edge of the bed with her feet still pinning 2-D. Noodle felt her attitude change and leaned her head next to 2-D's.
"Just shut up and fuck me"
She said teasingly and kissed him. 2-D's eyes widened in shock as Noodle moved more and more into his mouth. It for some reason sickened 2-D. The blue-haired man got a grip and struggled underneath her body but she held him down. 2-D broke away from her mouth and gulped for air, Noodle staring at him confusingly.
"Noodle, please…"
He breathed heavily. Noodle panicked thinking she did something wrong and sat up taking her hands off his arms.
"What's wrong Stu?"
"… This ain't right love… it ain't right"
Noodle stared sadly at 2-D not understanding. He moved out from underneath her and sat up on his side of the bed as Noodle faced him.
"… I thought it was what you wanted…"
She whispered miserably. 2-D looked at her sympathetically and shook his head lightly.
"… That wasn't the Noodle I know love"
"You changed me"
"From when?"
"From when you kissed me and tried to eat me!"
2-D laughed as Noodle watched him thickly.
"It's called a hickey love"
"I don't care what it's called! You're missing my point! YOU made me change!"
2-D raised an eye brow smugly.
"Actually love I didn't, it was your choice to take off your clothes"
"NO! I mean you gave me more disturbing hormones!"
"Did I?"
"YES!"
"I didn't mean to!"
He said in a mockingly scared voice. Noodle clenched her teeth and breathed out fiercely as her temper rose.
"Don't be so thick Stu!"
"Ok love, I'll stay skinny for ya"
"Just stop it and talk to me!!"
"We are talking!"
"YOU'RE BEING STUPID!"
Noodle screamed at him as 2-D made her more and more enraged.
"… Cheese?"
The teen lashed out at 2-D and jumped on top of him and pinned him down once again by his shoulders. Her eyes narrowed dangerously as she stared at the pretty dullard. He laughed at her as Noodle didn't find even the slightest thing funny.
"Don't make me hurt you"
She growled. 2-D stopped laughed and just smiled at her. He lifted a hand up to her face of fury and stroked it softly. Noodle immediately calmed down unexpectedly.
"… You're cute when you're mad"
"You wound me up and made me nearly hit you just to tell me that I'm cute?"
"Yeah I did"
Noodle sighed and got up off 2-D, her anger fading slowly. 2-D grinned at her evilly.
"You're moody"
Temper rising…
"You're pathetic, I can't believe I was actually going to sleep with you"
"… You still can ya know"
"I thought it 'ain't right'"
"… Only if you feel the same way about me"
"… Huh?"
"I love you… and I know you love me but… you need to trust me enough… with something like this… you don't have to if you don't want to… In your own time… when you're ready…"
2-D crawled to the end of the bed and took the covers and pulled them up over the both of them. He tried to make them comfortable while Noodle still stared at him confusingly. 2-D gave her a quick peck on the lips.
"… Just let me know"
2-D grinned his still world famous toothless grin and winked at her. Noodle blushed a little as 2-D lay down and rested his head on the pillow lying away from her. The Japanese ex-guitarist sat motionless in his bed and waited. Her mind at the blank. Noodle was ready, she had been for a while now… why was he taking it slow for her? She seemed confused by his words slightly. She did trust him. Well she did now. It wasn't that important was it?... Noodle shrugged and thought just go for it. What was she waiting for? She turned towards 2-D smiling shyly.
"… 2-D?"
"Yeah love?"
"… I'm ready… "
What could happen?...

Whoa! This is VERY dramatic compared to what I thought it would be like… plus it kinda turned out different to what I expected... those 2 are such morons -shakes head disappointly- ...it's awkward and not like me to write something like this!

Muds: Eh! What'd I do to her?
Shadz: …You walk around her in your briefs… now Russel, tell me that you didn't see that as a bad influence on her
