Chapter 12 2D ENDING All's Well That Ends Well

Noodle woke up early that day deciding fully to talk to Murdoc and 2D today. She left first to Murdoc who was in the garage just relaxing in his winnebago. When he heard a knock at the door and Noodle's small voice ask for entry, he quickly complied, opening the door and letting her in. "What's up luv?" He asked sitting in his chair and Noodle sat on the couch which was actually clean for once. "I need to speak with you Murdoc." Noodle looked very serious setting Murdoc on edge and out of his relaxed mood. "What's wrong? Did someone hurt you? You look pained..I swear I'll rip them apart if-" He was cut off as Noodle held up a hand signaling for him to stop. "No Murdoc it is actually me who has to hurt someone." Murdoc looked confused but settled down and let Noodle continue. "Murdoc I'm sorry but I cannot return your feelings as you want." Murdoc looked shocked but not really. He was half expecting this but it still hurt. "I see..so you really love the blue-haired blockhead that much huh?" Noodle nodded. He lifted a single hand to her cheek. "Alright love." Was all he said as she watched his eyes fill in pain. She gave him a long hug before leaving him to himself. He waited till she left then let his hair fall over his eyes. A couple tears escaping the dark waterfall of his bangs, and he wiped them away furiously. "I'm not a pansy!" He shouted at nothing in particular. He felt his pain seeping in more as he made his way towards the mini fridge in his winnebago. "Time for some whiskey."

Noodle felt tears escaping her eyes as she left the garage door. It hurt her to do that to Murdoc because he was important to her. But while he was important to her she knew someone who was more important. She wiped away her tears and sniffled building up her courage and heading upstairs to 2D's room. She gave a couple knocks at his door and called to see if he was there but no answer came. She grew worried and decided to open the door, "Tooshi-San I'm coming in." She spoke to the room which was pitch black and where the light shined in from the door only revealed dirty laundry and blankets everywhere. Noodle maneuvered around the room searching for 2D. "Toochi-san where are you?" Suddenly Noodle heard a shifting coming from the far right of the room. " Toochi-san is that you?" She made her way over to the sound but tripped on something hard hitting her foot. She could only guess it was probably 2D's laptop. She landed on something soft and round and she felt breathing on her face. With her eyes finally adjusting to the dark, she saw that she did indeed land on 2D wrapped tightly in some blankets. This blow finally managed to shake him from his dreams only to open his eyes to Noodle's face nearly inches away from his own. They both turned a deep shade of red but neither could tell in the darkness. "Ah I'm sorry Toochi-San." Noodle gasped and quickly sat up rolling off 2D's waist. "Noods w-wha' brings yo' hea? Am I still dreamin'?" 2D's accent was thick in his sleepiness but his heart was racing rapidly. "Oh uh no you're not.. I wanted to tell you something." 2D could barely tell in the dark but Noodle looked nervous. "Go on luv…" 2D spoke gulping in his throat. Noodle fiddled with her fingers and now that 2D was sitting up the blanket slid down his form showing his bare chest. Noodle blushed hard and tried to ignore the scene in front of her. 'Dammit! Why am I so nervous?' She shook her head trying to shake the feeling away and looked up at 2D's eyes. "Toochi-San I just got finished with speaking to Murdoc." Noodle gulped and so did 2D. This sounded bad… Was she gonna dump him? These thoughts circled his head as he nodded signaling her to continue. While Noodle could barely see 2D nod up and down she continued anyways. "I told him that I just couldn't love him as much as I loved you. That to me you were the only one." 2D's face went red and he felt like fainting he pinched himself just to make sure he definitely was not dreaming. Yep that hurt..He was awake… Noodle was in front of him, in his bed, confessing her love for him and him alone. 2D grew the largest most goofiest smile he's ever made on his face and tackled Noodle into the blankets. "Really?! Really?!" She giggled at how excited 2D was and nodded. "Yes Toochi-San. I love you." 2D was more happy than ever, even happier than he was at the ferris wheel the day he first confessed. He leant down closer to Noodle's face as their lips collided. She quickly gave into him letting him explore her mouth. They stayed like that for a while then broke apart for air. 2D leant in for another kiss but Noodle placed a hand to his lips. "Toochi-san please put some clothes on first." 2D now noticed the blush on her cheeks now that they were closer and looked at himself. He was indeed on top of little Noodle, sporting only his short pink boxers that he'd just bought a couple days ago. He felt himself heat up and quickly remove himself to run to the bathroom. "Sorry di'nt reali' luv!" He shouted from the bathroom door feeling thoroughly embarrassed. Noodle giggled to herself and sat up on 2D's bed. She switched on his lamp to reveal his messy room and sighed to herself. "He should really clean up in here."

After finally getting dressed and exiting the bathroom 2D walked into the room, pushing his bangs back with his hand and resting his back on the wall. "Hey luv so about what we wer-" His sentence immediately as he looked shocked at his now clean room. His eyes moved over to land on Noodle's form, putting the last of his dirty laundry in a trash bag which she would take to get washed later. "I hope you don't mind Toochi-san I cleaned up a little." 2D shut his agape mouth and nodded. "I see! How'd you do that so fast luv?" Noodle snickered and got up patting her hands together for a signal of a job well done. "Oh I have my ways. It's how I keep my room clean on such a busy schedule." 2D smiled walking up to Noodle and pulling her chins towards his. "Good job Noods." He whispered before giving her a long passionate kiss.

2D nervously knocked at Noodle's door and awaited her to answer. It didn't take her long to open the door and smile up at her boyfriend. "Yes Toochi-San?" 2D swallowed hard and smiled anxiously down at Noodle. "W-well I uh… wante' to know if maybe.. 'ou wanted to uh..go out to the cinema wit' me?…" It was his first time asking Noodle out on a date and he wasn't all that good with that stuff. He winced at his own voice, sounding like a prepubescent boy mixed with a mouse. Noodle laughed and took 2D's hand in hers. "I'd love to." She smiled and gave 2D a kiss on the cheek. 2D blushed and smiled goofily. "Righ' well I'll pick 'ou up a' seven." Noodle giggled and poked 2D nose. "Toochi-San we live together." 2D turned into a tomato and he mentally slapped himself. "Oh! Righ'! Uh yeah I'll jus' see 'ou down stairs…." 2D ran away in embarrassment and Noodle giggled as he escaped down the hall.

It was seven 'o clock on the dot and 2D was waiting downstairs, dressed in a long sleeve red plaid button up topped with a black vest and paired with black jeans. He was more impatient than ever in his life. 'Where is she? Is she late? Did she decide not to come? Did she get eaten by a whale!? I bet it was a whale. They ruin everything...' 2D was very close to running upstairs and checking on her when Murdoc appeared out of the garage snickering at 2D's nervousness. "You look like a sixteen year old girl about to go to prom." 2D glared Murdoc's way but decided to just ignore him. Murdoc and Russel had already been informed of 2D's and Noodle's relationship. Russel almost pummeled 2D to a pulp until Noodle stepped in. While Murdoc just laughed taking a large swig of liquor. Finally, Noodle appeared coming down stairs. She was dressed in a beautiful yellow sundress and had her dark hair pinned up in yellow barates. 2D and Murdoc were both shocked as she came down the flight of stairs. Almost like an angel from heaven… Murdoc sighed and longed for Noodle to dress for him like that but he just quickly retreated back into the garage. "Wow Toochi-San you look great!" Noodle exclaimed as she made it to the end of the stairs. "I should be the one saying that luv!" 2D's heart almost shot out of his chest just at the sight of his beautiful Noodle. "Aw thanks Toochi-San!" Noodle smiled sweetly and kissed 2D on the cheek. "Let's be off then!" 2D held out his arms for Noodle to hold on to and escorted her out to his truck.

...

"Toochi-San are you watching?" Noodle waved her hands in front of 2D's face. He snapped out of his trance and blushed. The only thing he had been able to pay attention to the whole movie was Noodle's beautiful face. "Oh uh yeah sweet sorry." He turned to the movie but still took quick glances out of the corner of his eye. She was so breath taking in that dress. She was beautiful all the time but that dress made 2D want to hide her away and keep her all to himself as his own little treasure. After the movie 2D took Noodle back home at 10:00 on the dot as he'd promised Russel. They now stood In front of Noodle's room saying their good nights. "I loved the movie Toochi-San. It was so romantic he'd actually give his life to save his true love." Noodle spoke reflecting back on the protagonist of the series. "I felt tears welling up in my eyes at his bravery." Noodle giggled at her self. "I don't see what's so brave about it. I'd do the same for you." 2D spoke scratching his chin in thought. Noodle looked up at 2D with wide eyes. " You would?" Noodle felt her skin begin to heat up from happiness. "Of course Noods, you're the world to me. I love you." 2D spoke blushing at his own words. Noodle smiled and wrapped her arms around 2D pulling him in so she could smash against his lips. He was surprised but soon melted into the kiss holding Noodle closer to him by the hips. She broke away and gave him a smirk. "Thanks Toochi-San I love you too." She smiled up at him as he leaned his forehead onto hers and smiled back. "However..." She spoke up again, alarming 2D who wasn't expecting it. "I'm going to take care of myself so just live and stay by my side." 2D grew his famous goofy smile and gave Noodle another kiss, then another on the cheek, then another on the forehead. "Of course. Anything for you love..." She pulled him into her room and they laid together that night in each others arms. They never wanted to break apart because they knew that they had found the one they were meant to be with for the rest of their life.
