Oooohhhhh, it's been a while, hasn't it? Well, here is my newest update for Where She Belongs! It's a bit of a short chapter containing mostly of dialogue between both Noodle and Murdoc. Anyway, I do hope you enjoy. Sorry for the long wait; I really should pick up on these things.
They finished building their snowman about an hour later. I was freezing and it was a very strange feeling. I wasn't much of a pansy when it came to the cold as I lived in the bowels of Kong, but I felt weak, drained, and I was shaking furiously.
With a satisfactory smile on her face, Noodle wiped her gloved hands together, brushing off of the snow. She and 2D were eyeing up the snowman with great admiration until her eyes flickered over to me, sitting on the ground. She rolled her eyes, yet again, and came over to me once more.
She grabbed my shoulder tightly and had me look back into her eyes.
"You're an idiot."
I bared my teeth at her playfully, my jaw vibrating violently.
She helped me up slowly and we trudged back up to Kong, 2D and my coat silently following behind me. When we got into the lobby, Noodle raced to her room to grab me a blanket, and 2D placed my coat on the table. I sat down on the couch and just shivered madly.
2D left by the time Noodle got back and she wrapped a big pink and fuzzy blanket around me. She kissed my nose lightly and I grinned, still shaking. Why the Hell was I that cold?
"Here, I can go and make you some hot chocolate," she mumbled, moving away from me.
"Noooo!" I called, grabbing her arm.
She looked back at me with confused eyes.
"I need y-you to stay..." I stuttered. "I n-need your body h-heat."
She smiled slightly. "All right, let me in."
I opened up the blanket and she got in quickly. Noodle sat on my lap and her body heat instantly made me feel good. Too good. I chuckled, wrapping my arms around her and she flinched in my hold.
"My, you are really cold," she mumbled.
I felt something naughty now resonating inside of me. I usually felt calm around Noodle, not aroused. Jesus Christ, Murdoc. You're doing this to yourself! I felt warm down in my lower half and she was still sitting right on me. Oh, she should really get off of me.
"Noodle, I need..." I mumbled, my words not really coming out from my trembling lips. I craned my neck back, looking towards the ceiling. "P-please."
She turned around in my arms and looked at me curiously. Her body was pressed up against mine tightly. "What?" she asked lightly. I felt her breasts against my chest. Damn, they did get bigger, and oh, how badly I wanted to see them now.
"Fuck," I groaned, then reaching in to nip her neck. I felt her body shaking a bit as I did this. She was enjoying it, though.
"Mur-Murdoc," she mumbled, her hands tightly gripping my shoulders under the blanket.
Noodle then pushed at me, trying to move back and she ended up knocking herself off of the couch. She landed on the dirty carpet with a large thump and we looked at each other with wide eyes, though hers look a bit more annoyed than my own.
When she had gotten up, her legs trembled, and she glared at me.
"What has gotten into you?" she asked shrilly, her body now stiff.
"I dunno!" I threw back at her quickly. "I'm confused myself, love!"
She shook her head and stormed away from me.
My mouth dropped, and I didn't say anything, nor did I move. I was so cold, drained, and tired. And I was aggravated with myself. Next time, I told myself, she has to make the first move. Gotta remember that.
Leaving the couch minutes later, I made my way with the blanket still around me towards the car park. Trudging along in the hallway, my legs gave out on me... and someone caught me.
"Fuck, I'm so tired," I muttered, leaning against them heavily.
"It's fine, Murdoc."
Noodle.
"Thanks, love," I added quietly.
"Sorry for getting mad." Her voice was going in and out of clarity. "... Murdoc? You're getting very heavy against me. Here, walk with me. I am helping my best."
Moments passed. One second I was standing in the corridor, and next, I was lying in my bed.
"Sorry," I said softly, my eyes scrunched together. It was difficult to speak. I felt Noodle move into my bed beside me. "I'm being a fucking wanker."
"No, no," I heard her say. Something soft pressed against my face and I was pretty sure it was her lips. "Sleep."
X X X
It was weird. I always checked the kitchen first when looking for one of the others. Gorillaz always seemed to be in the kitchen.
"Murdoc, you're up early."
Noodle's grin made me smile widely.
"Yeah, I was a bit cold, y'know," I mumbled at her.
She moved from the counter under the window towards the table and sat down in the farthest chair from me. I swiftly slide across the kitchen tiles and smirked as I sat down.
"You look a lot better," she commented.
"Yeah," I laughed, rubbing my neck. "Sleep did me some good."
Her face suddenly looked worried. "What was wrong with your back?"
I shrugged. "Dunno. But it don't matter, love. 'M fine now. Stop lookin' like 'at!"
"I know but it's never happened before," she mumbled, looking down at her hands which were placed on the table. She gazed up to me, her eyes fierce. "I have every right to be worried."
I opened my mouth then closed it. I finally found a small 'sorry' in reply.
"It's funny seeing you apologise." She tilted her head slightly.
"It's funny seein' you grow up," I grinned.
Her eyes widened and after, she flashed her teeth at me in that amazing white smile of hers.
"You were like the daughter I never had," I murmured, still sort of smiling. "We all raised ya."
She was beaming as I reached across the table to hold her hands in mine.
"Now you're a beautiful, young woman," I said quietly, smirking deviously. "... that's dating a dashing, experienced man."
She giggled and for some reason, we both leaned in and gave each other a peck on the lips. She probably had the same urge to just kiss me. Coincidences are weird. Heh.
"You know, I'm not really like the daughter you never had," she murmured, still holding my hands tightly.
"I know." I smirked. "I said you were. Not are, and besides, you're my lovely girlfriend now."
She squealed aloud, her face full of excitement. Bouncing in her seat, she exclaimed, "I can't believe you just said that! You have never said it before!"
I chuckled and rolled my eyes playfully at her.
Hmmm... just also noticing now, I've never said 'I love you' to her either. That's not my fault though! It's hard for me to say shit like that! It just made me feel even awkward thinking about it. I don't even know if those three words could come out of my mouth.
I was kind of dazed out for a moment, and then refocused my eyes, looking back into Noodle's. Our hands were still squeezing each other's tightly. Her hands were so soft, warm and small; that was pretty much the exact opposite of mine.
My eyes were on our hands for a moment, and then her face again.
She wasn't wearing any make-up today. Noodle just looked so natural and perfect without anything like that on. She was absolutely stunning in comparison to those sluts and whores that I used to fuck. They wore stones of make-up. Ugh. It made me feel sick to my stomach. I almost felt like vomiting.
"You're amazin'." My eyes still locked with hers. "Yer the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life."
She shrunk to a smaller state, her mouth pulling into a tight line. Her cheeks even turned a dark, dark red. I sniggered at her, raising my eyebrows afterward.
"I'm so lucky, y'know," I murmured to her.
"Me too." She smiled.
"Of course you are." I winked, patting her hands and pulling mine away from her. "Y'know, love, about two more weeks an' 's the first of December. The big month of Christmas."
"Hai, and...?"
"Any ideas on what ya want? New guitar?" I asked, smiling largely after.
"I want you to always be happy," she said simply, no sign of a smile tugging at her lips. She was being quite serious.
"B-but, I mean, somethin' that benefits youuuu," I said quietly, my eyes now squinting at hers in confusion.
"When you're happy, I'm happy. Does that not mean it benefits me?" she suggested.
I rolled my eyes. "Well, yeah."
"You meant you wanted to have me receive something physical, correct?" she inquired.
I nodded to her.
"I don't need anything," she muttered, placing her hands in between her lap.
I looked on at her incredulously. "You can't say tha'. I could getcha anythin' you wanted. Make-up? Stuffed animals, even?"
"You," Noodle said to me. "I want you."
"You want me to do what?" I asked quickly, eyes wide.
"For Christmas, I would like you."
"I –" My mouth shut fast.
She always somehow took the words out of my mouth. I opened my mouth again, looking at her in puzzlement. I began shaking my head slightly.
"Noodle-love," I mumbled. "Why don't –"
"Murdoc-kun," she said softly. "I don't need anything but you."
"But girls like things," I said unsurely, biting at my lip. I wasn't looking at her anymore. "That sounded weird."
"I'm not as needy as others, Murdoc."
I gazed back at her again and furrowed my eyebrows.
"Well, there must be a little somethin'," I said.
"You," she repeated softly. She smiled again. "You are more than a little something."
I felt myself blushing and I gnawed at my lips madly once more. She was the only one that could make me blush like that and I hated it. She got to me in the only way she could.
"I wasn't before," I replied quietly, covering my eyes with my fringe. "I wasn't."
"You are now," she said.
I sighed through my nose and shook my head. "Nothing. Nothin' at all?"
"No, nothing at all," she murmured in confidence.
I looked at her and smiled widely anyway. "Ahhh, I don't care. I'll get ya somethin', I will."
