Depression Confession
A Gorillaz fic by Peeders
Ch 1: Slit Wrists
"Noods, do you know where 2D is?" Russel asked Noodle one morning at the kitchen table. He had gone out to some bar last night and hadn't come back and the Gorillaz were starting to get worried. "No, but D-nii-san said he'd be back today.
"I'm going to go look for him. Do you want to come with me?" Russel said, standing.
Noodle nodded. Russel led the way out to the buggy and he got in the front. Noodle climbed in next to him, and he started the car up and they were off.
"Did he mention which bar he was going to?" Russel asked.
"Rock Hard Bar," Noodle said promptly.
Russel turned into the parking lot of the said bar. He parked, opened the door, got out, and beckoned to Noodle to do the same. He told Noodle to go look for 2D in the alley adjacent to the bar while he went in to ask questions.
Inside, he sat down at the bar. "Do you need anything, sir?" the bartender asked while polishing a glass.
"Yeah. I need to know if you saw a blue haired, very tall man with hollow eyes and a voice like an angel in here last night, and, if he left, if he mentioned where he was going."
The bartender gestured down the counter at the unconscious form of 2D slumped onto the counter. "I think that's your man."
"Thank you," Russel said. He stood and walked down to where 2D sat asleep. He shook the vocalist's shoulder gently. The lead singer awoke with a start and glanced around, then groaned.
"Hey, 2D, we need to go," Russel said. "C'mon." 2D looked at Russel.
"A-all right," he muttered, getting up slowly. He followed Russel out of the bar. When they got out to the buggy, Noodle climbed into the back, as she had finished her search, and 2D and Russel got into the front, with Russel driving, of course.
"2D, what happened? Getting drunk like that isn't like you."
"I-I know…"
Noodle suddenly noticed what looked like cuts on either of his wrists, on the inside.
"D-nii-san, what happened to your wrists?" she inquired.
"Nothing…" 2D muttered, attempting to hide the cuts.
"Let me see your wrists, 2D," Russel said. Reluctantly, 2D showed him his wrists. "And you did this while you were drunk last night, right?" Slowly, 2D shook his head.
"N-no… I did it two days back…" he said quietly
