Cautious
2D stepped into the kitchen and bit the inside of his cheek. Where was everyone? Grabbing his coat that had been laying on the couch, he threw it on. He'd take a little walk to clear his head. He needed it, really bad. Murdoc refused to leave his mind, he couldn't take it anymore. Stepping out of the house quietly, he hugged the coat closer to his body and began walking through the snow covered sidewalks. The area was quiet; the only sound was the snow crunching underneath his shoes as he walked. Throwing his hood on, he shoved his hands in his pockets and continued walking without a word. He'd go to the Pharmacy; he needed a refill on his headache pills anyway so this trip wasn't useless after all.
Glancing around, he was surprised at how quiet and empty the street was right now, where was everybody? Maybe something was going on and he just didn't know about it, shrugging it off, 2D trudged forward. As he walked, thoughts of Murdoc filled his head once more. Why had they fought so much recently? He was rejected, that was obvious but who really cares? He just needed to get over it and find some bird to start a relationship with. He didn't really want that though. But he knew, Murdoc wasn't good for him, he needed someone who didn't always beat him up or insult him all of the time. He didn't really mind that too much, smiling to himself slightly, 2D quickly got what he needed from the Pharmacy before heading back home. He'd apologize to everyone for his odd behavior and hopefully things would go back to normal. He noticed cars and people were walking past him. This day was already starting to go back to the way it was supposed to.
Murdoc sat with the others in the kitchen, quietly eating his cereal. His face hurt, he glanced at Russel to see the man wasn't paying any attention to him. Good, he didn't think he could survive another beating like that. His jaw stopped moving and he looked down at the soggy flakes floating in his bowl. 2D flashed through his mind and he groaned to himself. "Stu's not up yet?" He asked noodle softly, angry at himself that he couldn't just give up on that faceache and forget about him. If only he was a woman… Then Murdoc wouldn't have a problem with coming out with their relationship. He grunted softly as he finished off his breakfast silently.
The next morning, 2D cautiously stepped into the kitchen, his sigh was relieved when he noticed it was just Noodle and Russel. He slowly sat down and poured himself some cereal. "Where's Murdoc?" He asked softly, hoping neither would notice that his eyes were pink and swollen from crying all day and night yesterday.
Russel swallowed his food before looking over at him, it was obvious that he had been crying but Russel decided not to say anything about it. "Muds? He's been stuck in that Winnebago of his all day yesterday. Probably drunk off his ass, he hasn't came out once since breakfast yesterday." The drummer explained before shoving another mouthful into his mouth.
2D nodded slowly before his look saddened. Should he go and try to talk to him? Maybe apologize to him. But what if Murdoc did something to him? He groaned softly, no. He wouldn't take the chance. Finishing his food, he continued his day, pushing the thoughts about the bassist away.
A few days passed and 2D had been worrying to death. He had to check on Murdoc, who cares if he hurt him? He couldn't take it anymore. He had to check up on that drunk. Just as he went to get out of his bed, he heard his cell phone ring loudly. Gasping softly to himself, he snatched the phone up, thinking it was Murdoc. He was disappointed when it wasn't, he actually didn't recognize the number a bit. "Hello…?" He said, confused.
There was silence for a short moment before a woman began speaking. "Is it true?" She asked with a hint of excitement in her voice. "Is it true that there is a relationship between you and the bass guitarist?" She asked bluntly.
"What the hell?" 2D asked bewildered. "How did you get this number?" He asked as his cheeks darkened. Without thinking, he quickly hit the END button. "What was that? What did she mean by was it true?" He asked himself. How did they know about the "relationship" anyway? It wasn't like they were official or anything. Murdoc definitely did not want the word to get out that they had any type of relationship of the kind.
His thoughts were interrupted when his phone began to ring again, but this time, it was a different number. Picking it up, his eyes widened as a man asked him a similar question, hanging up the phone, he shook his head slowly. This was so confusing. After a few more calls, 2D turned his phone off before making his way out of his bedroom. He had to talk to Murdoc, see what was going on. This just made no sense to him.
Going out to the living room, he noticed it was empty. He then went to the kitchen and saw the same results. "They all must be sleeping or something…" He mumbled softly before making his way to the parking lot. Seeing Murdoc's Winnebago, 2D took a deep breath. It was just Murdoc, nothing to be scared about. Biting his bottom lip, he walked over to the shack and knocked on the door. "Murdoc…? Are you in there? Alive?" He called his worrying only increasing as he received no answer. "I'm going to come in if you don't answer me." He waited a few more seconds before he lightly grabbed the handle. Just as he began getting a grip, the handle turned and the door was pulled open.
