Noodle sighed as she cuddled herself in Murdoc's arms, who was completely lost in his own world. This was the first time in his entire life that he had felt morning after regret, and it was eating him alive. Noodle, on the other hand, was quickly feeling her morning after regret, and was hoping it wouldn't last too long.
"Murdoc?"
"Yes?" He replied, fully attentive.
"Don't tell 2D."
"Why?"
"Because…because…I was with him first."
"WOT?" Murdoc cried as he pushed her out of his arms.
She started to babble some excuses to him before he quickly got out of the bed and backed away from her, staring with eyes wide open.
"You fucked D?" He cried, trying to accept the facts.
"I didn't…well…yes…but…it was more than that…it really was!"
"Than why screw with me?" he yelled, angry.
"Because…because…" she began to cry as she put her head in her hands.
"Because I'm scared…"
"About wot?"
"About this baby!"
"And how does fucking around with me solve any of yer problems? Yer just complicating things! Satan Noodle, do you think I need this?" Murdoc yelled at her, throwing his hands up in the air.
Noodle was about to say something before Murdoc cut her off.
"And wot about D? Huh? Did you ever even consider HIS feelings?"
"Like I matter to him…!" she yelled, stunning Murdoc into silence.
"Yeah, sure…It's all fine and dandy right now in his eyes since there's no responsibility…but what about when he finds out about this kid? HUH? WHAT THEN?"
Murdoc quieted and put his hand behind his head.
"I'm sorry, love. Oh Hell…I'm so sorry…" he sighed as he sat down beside her, allowing her to cry on his shoulder.
"So…what do you think he'll do?"
"Well…I…" Murdoc thought for a moment, "I don't think Stu would abandon you, to be honest. I mean…it's just not in his nature…but, if he finds out about this…well, then…then you've got some major problems."
"But he still wouldn't leave me…right?"
"Well, I don't know that he'd have a romantic a relationship with you, but he sure as hell wouldn't leave you to care for a babe on your own."
Noodle sighed and stood up.
"Sorry, Murdoc."
He looked at her, sympathetic.
"It's ok…It's all a part of growing up."
She looked at him, suddenly aware of just how much growing up she had to do.
"I guess I was just in too much of a hurry, then, wasn't I?"
"Yes, I s'ppose so…but, look at it this way, at least you made those mistakes on people who will still love and care for you in the end, and hopefully we're people you feel like you can trust."
Noodle smiled.
"Yes, I do trust you, and 2D."
………………………..LATER…………………
"Yo, guys…I'm gonna go and get m' self a drink…d' ya mind watchin' Noodle for me whilst I'm gone?" Russel announced to 2D and Murdoc, who were sitting in the living room, awkward silence consuming the air.
"She's not a baby, Russ…" 2D muttered, crossing his arms and staring blankly at the tv.
"I know, I jus'…Jus' watch her. God…why does everything around here have to be such a fuckin' chore?"
2D just continued to stare and Murdoc shrugged at Russel, who sighed and made his way out of Kong.
"D…are you ok?" Murdoc asked, curious as to whether Noodle had said anything to him.
"I'm alrigh'."
"Ok," Murdoc replied, not satisfied with his answer.
"Well…I mean, the other day when I came home Russel told me ya went off ta yer room an' ya didn't even give him a hug or anythin'?"
2D didn't take his eyes off of the tv and replied carelessly.
"I'm jus'…frusterated. Tha's all."
"About wot?"
"Well…I don' really want to talk about it," 2D replied, nervously shifting. In his mind he thought that Murdoc would kill him if he knew about what he and Noodle had done, seeing as he didn't know what Murdoc himself had done with her.
"It's good that her first was you, Stu."
2D removed his eyes from the tv and captured Murdoc in a sharp gaze.
"You know?"
"She told me."
"You're not mad at me?"
"No."
2D nodded and look at his arms, which were still across his thin chest.
"Well, y' see…" 2D began, giving into the stresses on his mind. "It's jus' that, well…the first time it was WONDERFUL, Muds…it was…Gosh, it was so magical. She was just so perfect to me…and then…well, the second time was ok. We were just being adventurous I guess…but every time after that…well, it jus' feels like it doesn't mean anyfing to her…like…like I'm jus' her boy toy for the sexual things she needs to discover…ya know? An'…it's jus' not fair, becos…becos what I'm feeling inside of me right now, Muds…it's killin' me!"
Murdoc looked at 2D, trying not to let guilt take over him. It was just the Dullard he was talking to, why should he care if he hurts his feelings? He always does, in fact, it brings him pleasure to torture that brainless zombie. This time, however, it was much more than the occasional stealing of his organs and selling them on Ebay…this time he was messing with his heart, and Murdoc, of all people, knew not to mess with someone's heart.
………………MEAN WHILE AT THE BAR……………
"Hey…Hi there, are you Russel from the Gorillaz?" a feminine voice questioned from behind the big black man.
"Why yes! Yes I am!" Russel replied, happy to be recognized. It was nice to be noticed, because usually 2D and Murdoc got all of the attention, and even Noodle these days. It was comforting to here someone asking about his life.
"Hi! My name's Andy, but you can call me Stalkerdex…that's what all of my friends call me!"
"Well, hello there Stalkerdex…eh…can I just call you Dex?"
"Sure, sure," she replied.
"Well, Dex…would you like an autograph?" he asked the brown haired, blue eyed teenager before him.
"Yes, I would…but, eh…I have something you might be interested in seeing."
Russel raised an eyebrow suspiciously as Dex pulled a small envelope out of her black coat pocket.
"Here, these are some picture I thought you might be interested in."
"Well, thank you then, my Dear. Here's an autograph for you."
Dex smiled gratefully as she took her autograph.
"3 down, 1 to go!" she smiled.
He figured that meant she had meant two of the other band members already and smiled at her to be polite.
She ran off happily, skipping back to her lala land of story writing and zombie hunting.
Russel sighed as he opened up the envelope, pulling the pictures out. He gasped, dropping his glass of beer as he stared at the picture of 2D and Noodle lip locking at the fair.
"What the hell does D think he's getting at!" he yelled as he rushed out of the bar.
………………( a message from stalkerdex) hi there, I know most of you thought that my last chapter was……..strange, but I wanted to make a totally unpredictable twist and get out of the ordinary! Believe me, everything has a purpose in my stories…no body does anything without it leading up to the conclusion…and I'm closing in on my destination here. Maybe two or three more chapters left…I dunno yet. …either way, I just wanted to tell you that the Murdoc and Noodle chapter wasn't just to be gross or anything…I don't write porn! Also, did ya like that bit with me in it? I thought it'd be neat if I put myself into the story to help the plot along…like I'm entering my own stories to push everyone into the oncoming disaster! Hahahaha….well, hopefully I haven't creeped you all out to terribly!--------STALKERDEX
