Noodle climbed out of her bed, and slipped to the stairs. The twentythree year old clung to her old stuffed bunny and headed toward the third floor. She then ran to 2D's room. No, it wasn't storming tonight, but the girl was still scared.

"2D-san?" She asked, slowly turning the knob, and peaking her head inside.

The bluenette was fast asleep, so the axe princess slid into the room. She climbed onto the singer's bed, trying her best not to wake him.

"N-noods?" He mumbled, having been woken up by the girl.

"2D-san." The girl squeaked.

2D sighed, he knew she was just scared again, so he rolled onto his back, and wrapped his arms around her. He was more than happy to have the girl stay with him for the night. The singer quickly fell back asleep, but Noodle stay wide awake, taking in everything about her boyfriend.

The singer had blue hair, it was a sky blue color now from enjoying the late summer sun outside. His eyes where nothing but two black dents in his head, and yet they still held so much emotion. When he slept, his mouth hung open a little, revealing the gap in his smile, the missing teeth had been knocked out by Murdoc. The next thing Noodle noted was how lanky her friend was. His arms could probably still wrap around her four times. Then there was his hands. They were so much bigger then hers, and tonight, they were warm from having walked home with his hands in his pockets.

Noodle smile at the thought of 2D being so warm, so full of life, so happy finally. Content with the idea, she continued to take everything in. With her arms wrapped around the singer, she could feel still feel just how thin he was. She ran a hand a long his ribs, none were broken yet, the man finally being at a healthy weight. Finally feeling fatigue over-come her, Noodle rested her head on 2D's chest. She wrinkled her nose when she heard it.

2D's heart was beating faster than normal, probably caused by all the stress, but that was nothing compared to how slow it was beating when Noodle would find him just a twelve hours later, when he would come through the door of their new home with a big smile on his face, eager to tell his girlfriend about his new job.
