So far alchemy seemed to be the safest thing, even if it had its own form of sacrifices. Murdoc had a high appreciation of the study and practice, he hadn't played around with it a whole lot though considering it required equal measurements when it came to the payment plan. With basic witch craft and Satanic rituals he could always give an animal, some blood, or whatever; something that wasn't of high importance or didn't feel that major to him. With alchemy it was different and he knew what he wanted to do would basically require an eye for an eye. That was if he did go through with it, he had studied every single thing he'd need to know if he did decide to go through with it. If 2D told him he didn't want to do this then he would put it to the side, forget about it, and just go on with life as usual. He had put off telling his boyfriend about what he'd been reading up on for awhile now, he wanted to know everything first before he told him. Now he was ready to tell him, ask him how he felt about it, and if this was something he wanted to try out. He was nervous about it, he hadn't spoken much through the day and 2D obviously noticed. They sat in Murdoc's room, on his bed while Black Sabbath played on the record player.

"What's going on, are you okay?" The blue haired man asked

"Huh, oh yeah don't worry luv I'm fine...Just there's something I really need to talk to you about, more so ask you."

"What is it?" 2D asked sitting up a bit straighter, a curious look on his face as he awaited the older man's question.

"I've been researching something, you know how I am with spells and rituals and all that rubbish. Well I've been looking into something a bit different, I've well I've wanted to see if there was anything where maybe we could get your eye sight back. I-I found a spell of sorts that I think will work, but I won't do it unless you really want to obviously."

He waited uneasily for the other man's response, 2D grinned, and Murdoc sighed with relief.

"Really, I didn't know there was anything that could do that. So it would really make me be able to see again?" He asked eagerly.

Murdoc smiled feeling easier now.

"Yeah mate, it'll give you perfect vision just like before everything happened to you."

2D wrapped his arms around him hugging him, the bassist returned the embrace.

"Thanks Muds, this means so much to me. Wow this is really, this is so great, don't spells need stuff though like blood or whatever?" He asked pulling away from the older man.

"No not this one, it won't hurt you one bit; if it did I wouldn't suggest doing it, now I'm still not entirely sure it'll work. It just seems like it should, okay?" He brushed a lock of hair out of the singer's face.

"So when are we going to try it?"

"Tomorrow night if you want to"

"That sounds great"

Murdoc leaned back against the wall, 2D settled on his lap. His arms were draped loosely around the bass player's waist and his head resting against his chest; he focused on the steady beating of the older man's heart. Murdoc kept one arm wrapped around his waist in a sort of protective embrace, he wasn't going to tell him what the ritual was going to cost him. He didn't want to bother him with it or make him too scared to do this; he just wanted to give 2D everything he felt that he owed him. He wanted him to be really happy, he felt an eye for an eye was a good enough payment.
