When night fell, a hunger in 2D's soul grew. He could just see the silhouette of Elle tossing and turning in his bed. He had played this scene over and over again in his head but that didn't keep the nerves away. He cleared his throat.

"E-Elle?" he whispered.

For a moment he thought maybe she was asleep or hadn't heard him but then there was a quiet rustle of sheets and her blonde head peeked over the edge of the bed.

"Yeah Stu?" she murmured back.

He paused and for a moment he nearly lost his courage. "I want to talk."

She sighed, "'D, now really isn't the time." She replied, already retreating back to her pillow.

"I'm sorry." He blurted, feeling the twist of nerves in his stomach.

Elle's face reappeared at the edge of the bed. She stared at him for a moment and they shared a silent moment. Finally she pulled herself out of bed and sat down in front of him.

"What?" she whispered.

"I'm sorry." He repeated. "I'm sorry I left. I'm sorry I hurt you. I'm so so sorry."

Elle fiddled with a string on her shirt. He heard her sniffle and he tried to block out the sound.

"I wish I could go back and change everything but I can't and now you're stuck here on this island with Murdoc and me." 2D choked out, his throat closing with tears.

Elle rubbed a finger over her cheekbones and pulled at the string some more. She looked up at 2D, her blue eyes staring into his empty ones. The tears in her eyes shone brightly but they looked out of place with the serious look on her face.

"Do you know why I came to this island?" She whispered. It was a whisper of secrecy as if she spoke any louder the secret would be out and useless. "Do you?"

"Your ship sank." 2D said matter-of-factly.

Elle smiled and swiped at the tears clinging to her lashes. "No. I came to this island so I could rescue you."

2D's eyebrows shot into his hairline. "You wanted to rescue me?"

Elle snorted in laughter and went back to fiddling with the string on her shirt.

"I almost didn't come but then Russel reminded me of how much I loved you and how much I still love you. God 2D, you broke my heart but when it healed it was still devoted to you." Elle let out a loud laugh that sounded almost maniacal. "2D, I never stopped loving you."

2D stared at her. He ran through their entire relationship, from start to finish, in his mind and still couldn't figure out how, out of all the shit that had happened, Elle could still love him. He stared at Elle and took in every single detail about her. He took in the strands of blonde hair that fell in front of her blushing cheeks, the way she was biting her lip. She still loved him. There was still a chance.

Slowly he leaned forward, tilting her head up before capturing her lips with his. And just like that their passion was unleashed. Her hands were in his hair, his were around her waist tugging at her shirt. They were both drowning in each other. 2D was pretty positive that heaven felt and tasted something like what he was right now. He loved the delicious noises coming from the back of Elle's throats. His lips trailed down her lips to the base of her throat where he claimed her as his own. She threw back her head and breathed out his name. He never loved his name more than when she was whispering it to him like that.

Somehow they managed to make it back up onto the bed and somehow they managed to get their clothes off before joining together in a rush shouted words and soothing sighs.

There was a thrumming underneath my ear. For a moment I thought it was the engine just above 2D's room but then I felt the bed beneath me sigh happily. Groggily I looked up to see why exactly the mattress was breathing. My heart tightened when I saw the familiar blue hair falling over the closed black eyes. My breath caught in my throat when I saw his lips twisted up into a love-sick smile. I could feel a smile similar to his crawl onto my lips as well.

2D sighed and rolled over, pulling me into his chest. I heard him sigh my name and I closed my eyes, soaking in the sound of my name on his lips. I tucked my face into his collarbone and inhaled the scent I would always remember. Smoke and incense. It was a delicious scent that sent my mind reeling. I pressed a kiss to the hollow of his collarbone and I felt his arms tighten around me. I shifted so we were face to face and his eyes flickered open.

He stared into my eyes with a confused look on his face.

"Wait," he whispered, "it wasn't just a dream?"

I chuckled and combed my fingers through his hairs. His eyes closed for a moment, an ecstatic smile on his lips.

"It felt like it didn't it?" I whispered.

He let a burst of air out his lips and then ran his own hand through his hair before rolling onto his back, taking me with him. He stared up at the ceiling for a moment, a look of complete bliss on his face.

"What are you thinking about?" I murmured.

He smiled at me and pressed a kiss from my forehead before stealing one from my lips.

"You. As usual." He whispered.

I snuggled into his chest and sent a wish into the heavens. I wished that right there and then would never end. I wished that I could stay wrapped up in his arms forever.

2D placed another kiss on my temple and whispered to me. "I love you."

"I love you too." I whispered back, placing a kiss on the base of his neck.

For a moment we basked in the glow of the morning and then we heard the familiar calls of our least favorite bassist. Terrified we raced for our clothes, pulling them on at random.

"Face-ache!" We heard him yell. "We're finishing the album today. Get your arse out of bed!"

When he tore open the door he was greeted with the sight of 2D, still pants-less and me, frantically trying to pull my shirt on. I saw a hunger glow in his eyes as he looked me over before he shook his head, clearing his mind, and grabbed 2D's arm. 2D, who was just pulling on his pants, stumbled and fell. Murdoc sneered at him but didn't say anything. He looked up at me and for a moment it was just me and the bassist from Hell.

"Looks like we'll be needing a room change." He murmured. "You'll be rooming with me from now on."

Well it sure has been awhile. Sorry about that. I got back from Syracuse and then had to hop a plane to Mississippi. My great aunt Joy passed away and we went to her funeral. I didn't really know her but I've heard she was a very kind woman who went from suffering to a place of peace. And not only did we get to put her to rest but I also got to see a majority of my family. It's kind of the silver lining to the cloud of death.

I had this idea in my head though for awhile. I don't know though, does it seem like Elle changes her mind about not knowing where they stand anymore pretty quickly? Eh, whatever. With the whole new roommate story line plotting out I think there will be some pretty interesting scenes. And maybe we'll get another glimpse inside of Murdoc's twisted mind.

I love love love you all and I'm soooo sorry that I haven't published lately. And I'm soooo sorry that I probably won't publish for awhile after. I'll try to post again this week but I hop another plane to Indiana for a journalism workshop and then another one at my school and then I have orientation for this club that I'm doing that helps new kids and sophomores and then school starts and I will be swamped in advanced and AP class homework. But don't worry. I won't abandon you.

Stay Classy.
