"And exactly how long have you not been able to see, Mr. Pot?" the doctor asked, shining a pin light into the black eyes. 2D swallowed hard, one hand searching for the smaller one next to him. Noodle squeezed his hand and rubbed his shoulder. "S-since i woke up. I don' know maybe noon." he answered shakily. "It hurts." He whined pressing his palms against his sightless eyes attempting to relieve the aching. Noodle rubbed his back whispering to him is japanese, trying her best to calm the man. "Can you describe the pain to me. I-i can see anything!" the doctor asked, writing down notes on his pad. 2D let out a high groan, "It's like my eyes are gonna pop."
The doctor nodded, "Alright, come this way Stuart will get you into a bed with some morphine." He said, walking out of the small room and down the hall. Noodle helped 2D walk behind the doctor, the singer whimpering the whole way. When noodle had laid the singer down and covered him up with stiff sheets a nurse tapped her shoulder. "Hello, sweetie, can you fill out some paper work for me?" She asked, handing a clipboard to the young girl. Noodle looked over the paper filled with blanks in a language she didn't understand. "Watashi wa kore o yonde kanto." The nurse frowned, "Oh, oh ok." She bustled, taking the clipboard back.
Suddenly the door burst open, Murdoc slamming it shut behind him. "I told you cow, he can't fucking see." He yelled into the phone, snatching the clipboard away from the nurse and stealing a pen from her breast pocket. "Look, ok, you can pack later but i need your help to fill out this bloody paperwork." he snapped, plopping down on the seat next to 2D's bed. "Muhdoc." the singer whined, stopping the green man from yelling at the his mother. "Murdoc, i can't see anything."
"I know, D." It'll be ok." He mumbled, petting the singer's hair.
"Is that my baby!" the shrill voice cried through her tears. "Yes, yes. That's yer baby." He snapped, offering the phone to 2D. The frail man winced as his mother's voice squealed from the phone. "I don' wan' to talk to her." He whimpered. Murdoc nodded, putting the still screaming phone back to his ear. "He's asleep." he snapped.
After an ear full of complaining and demanding to speak to her child, Rachel finally gave him the information to fill out the paper work. It was seemingly endless , page after page asking for the singers date of birth, social security, insurance. Murdoc growled as he thrust the clipboard and pen back to the nurse. He finally put an IV into 2D's arm and pumped him full of morphine. "Yer mums comin', Stu." Murdoc rumbled, petting a hand through 2D's hair. "She'll be here by tomorrow. "
2D nodded, the drugs already taking effect, numbing his body and mind. "Murdoc." The blue haired man said, sounding worried. "If i get blind foreva yew won' kick me outta the band, righ'?" he asked, Murdoc could see the glossy black orbs flint, looking all over the room trying to see something, anything. Murdoc sighed. "You're gonna be fine, bluebird, just wait. Will get you seein' my pretty face in no time. " 2D smiled a little at that, turning his head to stare in the general direction of Murdoc.
"Wot's bein' blind like?" Murdoc asked after a somewhat long stretch of silence. Stu chuckled, his eyes dropping. "Sigh'less." he said, "I guess 's not all bad. I neva really like hospitals." Murdoc chuckled, "Satan knows you've been in enough of em." he joked, sounding guilty. "M'sorry." He whispered, not wanting Noodle to hear even though she had fallen asleep.
"For wot?" Asked 2D, worried by Murdoc's apologizing. Murdoc never apologized. " If i hadn't had hit you-"
"Shut the fuck up, Murdoc. This is no time for you to be getten all emotional. Wot i need is for you to be your usual arrogant asshole self so that when i see everything will be the same. I don' want to be fuckin' blind the only time you eva say sorry to me." 2D snapped, a stern look in his unseeing eyes.
"Ok." Murdoc simply said. Thankfully, a doctor came in at the moment, freeing them both from the silence that was sure to stretch on. "We need to take, Mr. Pot for an M.R.I , if you would please stay. It will only take a moment. Two nurses mad there way into the room, unlocking the break and carting 2Ds bed out of the room. Murdoc sat there by himself losing himself to the guilt that had beem welling inside him since 2D had shakin him awake. screaming about not being able to see. He had done this, he was fool to think the only ;asting thing he had done to the poor kid was blacken his eyes. He probably wasn't going to see again, he was going to be blind for the rest of his life.
2D was never going to see him, or Noodle, or Russel, or that bloody Buddhist guy he went to highschool that had been helping 2D 'align his chakras' or some bullshit like that. Murdoc now realizes that if maybe 2D had just stayed with that hippie guy in highschool then 2D wouldn't be here. In a hospital, blind. Murdoc hid his head in his hands, cursing to himself over and over.
"Hippī ga geide wa nakatta, mādokku, tadashi, moeru dōseiaidearu." Noodle suddenly said, resting a small hand on his knee. "Wot?" he asked uselessly, knowing that Noodle couldn't translate for him. "She says im not gay." Said a deep voice, the very same hippie man walking into the room.
Murdoc stood, "Wot are you doin' here." he snapped, stepping closer to the taller man. "I volenteer here. Some nurse mentioned an attractive blue haired guy and i knew there was only one." the dreadlocked man smirked. "Erik-kun!" Noodle jumped, hugging the loosly dressed leg. "Suchuāto no kodomo wa dōdeshou ka? Mādokku wa kare o gyakutai shite iru?" Erik said, leaning down to hug the girl. "Anata wa, kare wa gozen-chū no kashu ni watari naite kita jōdan sa reru!" Noodle said, rolling her eyes.
Erik's chuckle was interupted as the hospital bed was once again returned to room, 2D barely awake. Erik sat down in Murdoc's previously abandoned seat and took the singers hand in his own. "Hey Stu." he greeted. The blue haired man smiled. "Erik. Wot are yew doin' here?" he asked, staring at him sightlessly through half lidded eyes. "Reading to children." he answered, stroking his thumb over the singers palm. "Thas nice." 2D slurred. "Could you get Muhdoc fo me." he mumbled, taking his hand out of Erik's.
"Sure, man." Erik answered after a few seconds of stunned silence. "Muds?" 2D. called out to the room. Murdoc smirked, taking hos rightful chair again, slipping his hand into 2D's. "Yeah, sunbeam, right here." 2D smiled, tangling there fingers together in his obviously drugged state. "'M really tired Muhdoc." the singer slurred, tyrning on his side to face Murdoc. "Go to sleep, Bluebird." He whispired.
There was a knock on the door a moment later and the doctor walked in, Erik leaving right after. The doctor held to x-ray sheets and clipped them onto the lightboard. "Well. There is good and bad news." He started. Murdoc swallowed thickly.
"The good news is that the blindness isn't permanent." 2D made a happy noise in his barely conscious state and Murdoc let out a breath he didn't know he had been holding. The doctor who had introduced himself as Dr. Wells, said. He turned on the light board which showed an x-ray of the singers head with his two opaque spheres he used for eyes. Dr. Wells pointed to the two white circles, "The blood that had filled the eyes has now seeped past the retina and is now pooling at the pupil." He explained. "Wot's the bad news." Murdoc asked. "The blood in his eyes if filling, so we need to drain them." He answered. "The pain is caused by the swelling of his eyes. We will make an incision as the corner of the eyes to drain the blood. Which should stop the pain and regain your sight. " He said, talking mostly to Murdoc now. "The bad news is that after we do this he will probably have to drain his eyes every six months or so." Murdoc nodded, thanking the doctor as he left.
"Hear that, faceache, yer gonna see again." Murdoc said, laying his head down on the hospital bed next to the singers chest. 2D mumbled something under his breath, "Wot?" Murdoc asked, lifting his head up. The door opened, Russel squeezed himself through the door. "Where 'ave yew been?" Murdoc snapped, lifting his head from the bed, waking Noodle in the process. "You took my only way of getting here! We only have one car! I'm taken Noodle home, ill come get you in the morning." He snapped, picking Noodle up and storming out.
A few seconds later his head popped back in. "Hope you feel better, D." Then left again.
Murdoc sighed again, taking back his seat. "M cold." He heard 2D slur. Murdoc sighed and stood with a yawn. "I'll get you a blankent." "No." 2D said, reaching slightlessly for Murdoc. "Jus lay wif me." He mumbled, hiding his face in the pillow. Murdoc stared at the drugged up man on the bed for a while before he chuckled, kicking off his boots and crawl in on the side that was not taken up by an IV.
He lifted up the blanket, laying on his side draping an arm over the singers stomach. 2D smiled, making a happy noise on his thought before tucking his head under Murdoc's chin. "Your mum's gonna be here in the mornin'" he mumbled. 2D shrugged. "She already finks I'm gay." He slurred into Murdoc's chest. The bassist chuckled, lifting a hand to pet through the blue hair. "You are gay." He laughed. 2D smiled and shrugged again. Murdoc let out a yawn and finally rested his head on the uncomfortable pillow. After a moment of silence he whispered "M' sorry." But 2D was asleep. He let another yawn and feel asleep himself, not before wrapping his arm tighter around the singer.

"Stuart! Oh my baby! Oh my beautiful, beautiful baby boy." Rachel shouted as she bustled into the room, throwing her purse down on the ground and waddling over to the bed. She ignored Murdoc who had blinked himself awake, sitting up on the bed and staring at the large women. She pressed kisses all over 2Ds face, as tears fell down her face.
"Mr. Niccals." He heard his name called from the door. Murdoc looked up from the loving mother-son abuse. 2Ds father gestured with a nod for Murdoc to come speak with him outside.
When the door was shut David stared at the shorter man sternly for a long moment. "Now." He started. "Murdoc, I understand that you have taken care of Stuart twice now. Even though you are te one that caused it on both occasions. I've given this talk to most of Stuart's boyfriends and I-"
"Woah, woah, woah. Man, I don't think you understand. I'm not-" Murdoc started. David put his hand on Murdoc's shoulder and smiled at him warmly. "It's ok, son, no need to be worried. Paula came as a surprise to us all." He said, before walking into the room to his screaming wife and son.
