Thank you for the reviews, enjoy!

2D put on his pajamas, giving an exhausted sigh. Today had been a weird day. After the interview, they had received several phone calls, asking if the rumours were true. Then they had tried to practice a little, but Murdoc realized he was too angry to play a single note so they stopped.

2D couldn't believe how fast news spread. Now he just looked forward to some sleep, to prepare himself for the hell that was sure to happen tomorrow.

He was about to throw himself on the bed when he heard a knock on his door. Sighing, he got up and opened it.

Noodle was standing there in here pajamas, grinning at him in a way he didn't particularly like.

"What's up, Noods?" he asked warily.

"2D have you ever been in a relationship?" she asked then.

2D frowned at her. "Course I have. Why?"

"Well, I read that it is quite custom in relationships for the partners to be with each other a lot of the time.." Noodle continued

2D looked at her, not understanding what she was getting at.

"If they don't spend a lot of time with each other during the day, they make up for that at night.."

2D still looked at her, frowning. Noodle rolled her eyes.

"You and Murdoc have to sleep in the same room together."

2D's mouth dropped open. "What."

Noodle nodded brightly. "Come, I'll take you to Murdoc's Winnebago since I know he's not going to want to leave it."

Noodle grasped the dazed 2D's wrist, pulling him along with her. Only when they were standing in front of Murdoc's Winnebago did reality crash down on him.

"Noodle, I don't think this is a good idea," he said, trying to pull out of her grasp.

"Hush, Toochi. Don't worry," she said with a grin, knocking on Murdoc's door.

The bassist opened it, staring at the frightened looking, red-faced 2D and the somewhat evilly grinning Noodle grasping his wrist.

"What.. is it?" he asked, a tad reluctant to hear the answer.

"2D's sleeping with you as long as you're a couple. Don't beat him up," she added as a warning, then shoved 2D inside the Winnebago and shut the door.

2D and Murdoc stared at each other. Murdoc threw the door back open.

"NOODLE, THERE IS NO BLOODY WAY THIS FACEACHE IS SLEEPING IN MY WINNEBAGO," Murdoc yelled at Noodle who now had her back turned to him.

Noodle turned around, glaring. "He doesn't have to sleep with you in your bed. But people in relationships at least sleep together in the same room. Good night, Murdoc."

With those words she left. Murdoc stood staring after her, his mouth hung open.

"That little girl is a tyrant," he muttered admiringly, then turning around to 2D sharply.

"As soon as Noodle's asleep, you're going back to your own fucking room," he snapped.

"And don't send him back to his room after I'm asleep, I will know!" they heard Noodle's voice faintly.

Murdoc growled and kicked a chair away. 2D flinched, cowering in a corner.

"Right," Murdoc snarled. "You're sleeping on the fucking ground. I don't want to hear a sound all night, if I do I swear to God I'm going to kick the rest of your teeth out. Are we clear?"

2D looked around, seeing tons of pillows strewn around. "Don't I at least get a pillow and some blankets?"

Murdoc walked up to him and gave him a slap on the temple. "No you fucking don't get at least a pillow and some blankets," he said, mimicking 2D's voice.

"No need to be so mean about it," 2D muttered, looking for a comfortable place on the floor. Murdoc rolled his eyes and went to his bed, turning off the lights.

2D sighed and kicked away a bunch of stuff he couldn't see to make some space for himself.

"I told you not to make a god damn sound!" Murdoc snarled.

"I have to make some space to lie down!" 2D exclaimed.

Murdoc didn't reply, he just grumbled and 2D lay down on the ground. It wasn't long before his neck started to hurt.

"Muds.."

No reply.

"Muds, please give me a pillow, my neck's really sore," he whimpered.

"Fuck off," Murdoc muttered.

2D made a frustrated huff and tried to sleep with his hands under his head, but it just made his hands numb.

"Murdoc-"

"Shut it!"

"Dick," 2D breathed, lying on his back.

Suddenly something smacked him in the face. He yelped and tried throwing it off, before realizing it was a pillow.

He wondered how Murdoc had even seen where he was. Then again, Murdoc probably had night-eyes since he spent most of the day in his Winne in the dark.

"Thanks," 2D murmured.

He didn't get a reply. He closed his eyes, quickly falling into a much needed sleep.

The following morning he woke up surprisingly early. The singer groaned, rubbing his eyes as they adjusted to the still reasonably room. He glanced at his watch. Half past eight.

He might as well lie in bed for a while longer. He turned around, being able to make out the shape of Murdoc's body, sleeping peacefully, his torso moving up and down with every breath.

2D sat up, after a while being able to make out Murdoc's face. Free of any emotion, he looked almost innocent. It was hard to imagine the angry, yelling, cursing man was the same person as the one lying here. For once he was just asleep. Not drug or alcohol induced, but real, human, beautiful sleep.

2D crawled over to Murdoc's bed, fascinated. He sat there, staring at the bassist's peaceful face. Murdoc frowned a little, murmuring something.

2D tilted his head sideways, and carefully ran his finger along Murdoc's face. He pulled back sharply when Murdoc suddenly opened his eyes, staring at him.

The singer sat frozen there like a frightened rabbit.

Murdoc gave a huge sigh, and pinched the bridge of his nose with his fingers.

"This, 2D.." he began, his voice still hoarse from sleep. "This kind of shit is what gets you beaten up."

"I was just.. I'm not used to seeing you act like a normal person," 2D said, his face turning red.

Murdoc glared at him, too tired to hit him, then turned over. "Go back to sleep, idiot."

2D pouted, lying back down on the floor. "Not like I can sleep properly on the floor."

"Tough shit," Murdoc muttered, his voice muffled by the pillow.

"I'm not sleeping on the sodding floor for two months straight," 2D mumbled. "I'm going to talk to Noodle. There's no way I'm sleeping in here for another two months.."

He was talking more to himself now, pretty sure Murdoc was already fast asleep.

"Anyway, couples don't even sleep together that soon.. That's like moving in with each other.. unless you already live together, I guess..which we do so yeah."

2D was just muttering bullshit now, drifting off to sleep himself.

"Still.. wonder how Noodle even got the idea to make us a couple.. I mean, it's not just something that pops up in your head-"

"WILL YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP."

2D grinned goofily to himself a little before sinking back into sleep.

Noodle hummed to herself as she prepared her breakfast. She thought about 2D and Murdoc sleeping together in the Winnebago, and snickered to herself.

So far, her plan was going perfectly. It was obvious there had always been something brewing between the two, no matter how much they denied it. She was just giving them the extra push they needed.

Plus, she got some amusement out of it on top of that.

It wouldn't be long before their relationship became less acted and forced than natural and real. She had been getting sick of all the sexual tension between the two, and had been trying to figure out how to get them together for a long time.

Then, as the women they both brought in all the time became increasingly annoying, it was the perfect opportunity to set her plan in action. She knew both of them wouldn't be able to resist bringing a woman home, especially Murdoc since he had no self control whatsoever, whatever he might say.

It hadn't even been a week before his temptations had taken him over.

Noodle rolled her eyes. Men.

Well, at least he had sped things up a bit. Especially now that Noodle was forcing them to sleep in the same room together, things should go more smoothly..

Not immediately, maybe, but the time would come. And she would be happy that it was because of her.

The guitarist took a bite of her toast as Russel walked into the kitchen, bidding her good morning. She smiled brightly at him.

"Russel, can you keep a secret?"
