He doesn't know what time it is when she shows, meeting out in the middle, lost in thought when he's grabbing her wrist, taking her hand and the windows open and he's climbing out, leading her to follow, seating them both on the roof.
It was cloudy, the moon bright and full, shining like a beacon through the sea of overcast, illuminating, fighting against the developing dawn, enveloping Noodle's face like a halo.
2D looked back out into the sky, the telescope in his hand, concentrated.
"You know," he starts, studying her from the other side of the glass, "I can never find tha' bear or tha' boat or tha' 'unter chap you 'old me 'bout."
"But?" She intones, curious.
It's been about a year since she had told them about the constellations.
Had he still kept looking?
"But," he drawled, lowering the telescope, affection twinkling," I was able to find teh moon."
He's tugs her close, like an impulse, pulling her into his embrace; she's melts into his touch, hesitance dissolving, and they sit there, just breathing, just being.
They watch as the sun begins to rise, peeking out the horizon and she's there in his arms, his hold on her taut and firm, hands wrapped around her shoulder pressing against delicate small of her back. He breathes in her scent, beheld in her, pressing his forehead down against hers, black eyes locked on green, feeling faint watching her flush a bashful red.
He takes her in, this beautiful woman in front of him.
Noodle.
His Noodle.
The Moon.
Fingers interloping, breath mingling, he raises his free hand, trailing over her collarbone in a soft caress, raising to the thin slope of her neck, carding through her sleek strands.
He pressed his lips to her forehead, ghosting over her temple, kissing away the tears that had unknowingly begun to fall, waiting to see her emerald orbs. He moved his hands up, taking her joined hand with him, cradling her jaw as she leaned into his touch, exhaling shakily.
Hearts pounding in sync, their lips brushed, relishing in the feel, and met.
Oh.
Oh.
A/N: Thank you so much for reading and reviewing! Please don't be afraid to suggest in the reviews what other Gorillaz songs I should try my hand at writing a fic for (2nu (preferred) or general, any phase, AUs included). Thanks again, everyone. See you in the next story!
