"STUPID! STUPID STUPID STUPID! STUART HAROLD POT YOU ARE THE WORLDS BIGGEST IDIOT. 'THICK' IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT. WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT TO HER. SHE CANT KNOW. YOU PRACTICALLY HELPED RAISE HER! THE AGE GAP IS UNNACCEPTABLE.. Or at least, that's what some of the fans think. but STILL. WHY?!"
Mentally beating himself up for what he just did, he grabbed the notebook off the floor and gingerly began reading the entries. For Japanese being her first language, her handwriting, grammar, and sentence structure were sublime.
He quietly read through the entries that Noodle wrote.
On the first night, 2D was beaten to death by Murdoc in the Landfill outside of Kong studios. He played it off like A zombie had bitten him, and he had to kill 2D before he turned.
On the second night, Wee Jimmy Manson shot up a concert in the United States, injuring Russel, Murdoc, and herself. 2D was killed immediately
2D began to feel the color drain from his face
On the third night, 2D apparently went missing.
"Noodle... I-"
"The next one is the worst" she said, avoiding eye contact.
On the fourth night, (This evening) She dreamt of the El Manana music video... except this time 2D was on the island instead of her.
2D dropped the notebook as if it were a hot potato and weakly kicked it away from where they were sitting.
"All I dream about is you dying. How can you be in love with me? And how can I love you back when you're going to leave anyway?"
"Noodle, wot are yew taklin' about?! This is crazy! 'M not goin' to die!" He cursed his cockney accent for making him sound less serious than he intended to be. Although he was frightened, he tried to play it off like he wasn't so.
"All of these dreams are MY fault. I dreamt them! So you being killed would be my fault... I don't even want to think about what I'd do if that were to happen."
"Noods, I-"
"I escaped Hell. I wandered the ruins of Kong for weeks looking for clues as to where you guys might have gone. I tracked Murdoc down, and crossed oceans for you. I escaped death hundreds of times, be it demons, pirates, or satan himself. It was kill, or be killed... and people lost a lot of lives just so I could come home and find gorillaz, the band, my family..."
She looked up to meet 2D's obsidian gaze.
"...and you. And if I were to toss away years of journeying to find you to have it all be thrown away by..." she trailed off.
"By wot?"
Noodle got on her knees and kissed 2D full on the mouth.
"By that killing you. By me destroying you, I couldn't live with myself."
"Noodle, you're not making any sense at all. That's illogical! Just because I die in your sleep, doesn't mean i'm going to die in real life! In fact, I'll do everything I can to make sure you're safe. And I wont leave, ever. You'll be alright, and I will be too because you're home now and I love you." ... is what 2D was trying to say.
But instead, he sat there like a fumbling idiot trying to process what had just happened. She kissed him. And it was good like he always imagined it would be.
Noodle just sat there, ashamed of what she'd just done because she knew he wouldn't return the feelings for her. Obviously, he would have kept kissing her, or at least lie to her and tell her it was going to be alright if he really did love her back... right?
Suddenly a lightbulb went off inside of 2D's usually dark and empty mind. He had an epiphany.
"NOODLE!" He screamed louder than intended.
She looked up, blush coloring her cheeks.
"I've figured it out! You know what all of your dreams have in common?"
"You... dying."
"Exactly!" He grabbed her by the hands "An'... if yew're sayin' tha' yor afraid of loosin' me... then maybe yew actually luv me like I hoped ye would..."
She just sat there, staring at him.
"NANI?! Anata wa watashi o aishite modotte?!" (WHAT? You love me back?!)
"Eh... wot?"
"You, you love me? really?"
2d's toothless smile suddenly lifted onto his face.
"It's taken ye all this time ta' fugir it out, huh?"
And from that moment on... it was all uphill.
Allllright well sorry for the hiatus and the abrupt ending but i am back, and I'm working on some new fics for you guys, over the summer my witing style has changed a little so please check those out when they're ready.
