Thank you for the reviews, enjoy!

"MURDOC! 2D! GET IN HERE, NOW!"

The two men, both sitting in the living room, flinched and looked at each other in fear.

"What the fuck did we do?" Murdoc hissed as they got up.

"I don't know!" 2D hissed back, and they quickly made their way to the kitchen.

"What is it, love?" Murdoc smiled at her, the smile quickly fading when Noodle put a newspaper on the table.

"What is this?" she asked, pointing at a black and white picture.

2D picked the newspaper up, and Murdoc looked with him over his shoulder. After a few moments it became clear that it was a photo of 2D slamming the Winnebago door shut with an angry look on his face. Above it the headline: "HAVE THE CELEBRITY COUPLE BROKEN UP ALREADY?"

2D blinked and Murdoc grimaced, pulling the paper out of 2D's hands. "What were you doing here?"

2D shrugged. "You had just thrown me out of bed so I wasn't that happy I guess.. that's what the flash must have been."

The other two stared at him, then Noodle shook her head.

"Whatever. The point is, the press now thinks you're breaking up. You two had better go out and show them you're not."

2D and Murdoc glanced at each other.

"How?" 2D asked nervously.

"I want you to go out to a public place, a park or something. It's lovely weather. Anyway, just show people that you're having a good time etcetera. And.." Noodle paused, allowing herself a brief grin.

"And I want you to kiss."

2D dropped the glass of water he was about to bring to his lips, and Murdoc almost stumbled to the floor. They both opened their mouths, but before they could start protesting Noodle put her finger up.

"Don't start complaining again, you know it doesn't change a thing. Now be good boys and go out, okay? I want at least one kiss on the lips."

She smiled at them, giving them both a kiss on the cheek before skipping away, humming a tune. "Oh, and leave soon please!"

Murdoc groaned, sitting down heavily in a chair and putting his head in his hands. 2D sat opposite him, resting his chin on his arms. They sat like that in silence for a while. Eventually, Murdoc glanced up at 2D.

"Looks like you and I are about to have a picnick like a couple of faggots," he sighed, standing up.

"I'd think kissing each other on the lips is more like a couple of faggots.." 2D remarked, standing up also.

Murdoc grinned ruefully, 2D smiling back at him.

"You hungry?" the bassist asked.

2D shook his head. "You?"

"Nah. Guess there won't be any food involved then. Let's go."

A few minutes later they were in the car, sitting in awkward silence as Murdoc drove them over to some park. 2D drummed his fingers on his knees, staring out of the window, thinking about what was about to come. Murdoc cleared his throat.

"Just for clarification.. Just a quick peck. No tongue. No other kind of physical contact. Just a.. a light brushing, yeah?" Murdoc growled.

2D nodded, blushing furiously. "What makes you think I'd want any of that?" he asked, pouting.

Murdoc glanced over at him, smirking. "Oh come on, sunbeam. Stop lying to yourelf."

2D turned his head towards the bassist, glaring. "Will you stop fucking saying that? You're the last person I'd want to kiss. Bet you're a bad kisser anyway."

Murdoc looked at 2D sharply when he said this, giving him an angry look. "We'll see if you're still saying that when I'm done," he snapped, parking.

2D raised an eyebrow, a smirk tugging at his lips. "Doubt it," he smiled, stepping out of the car.

Murdoc narrowed his eyes, stepping out of the car as well. They were in a pleasant, big park, with a grass field and a pond, benches and tables. There were quite a lot of people there, having lunch or playing football. There were some children there chasing each other.

Murdoc gestured to a bench, and the pair of them sat down. Several people were staring, and the boys did their best to ignore them.

"Remember, this is why we're here," Murdoc muttered, offering 2D a cigarette.

2D nodded, leaning forward so the bassist could light his cigarette. Murdoc glanced down, his phone ringing.

"Hello?"

"Murdoc, remember, you have to act like a proper couple, okay?" came Noodle's calm but stern voice.

Murdoc rolled his eyes. "Yes, yes."

"Good," Noodle laughed, hanging up.

Murdoc stared at 2D for a long time, his eyes narrowing a little. 2D glanced at him uncomfortably. The bassist rolled his eyes, sighing.

He then leaned forward and grabbed 2D's hand, much to the singer's surprise.

"Like a real couple, she said," Murdoc growled.

2D looked at Murdoc, and gave his hand a squeeze. The bassist's hand felt weird in his, foreign, but, to his dismay, he quite enjoyed it. People were properly staring now, some even taking pictures. 2D and Murdoc cringed inwardly, looking at each other in understanding.

"So.. how's your mum?" Murdoc started.

The two men were both staring at their intertwined hands.

"Err.. far as I know, she's good. Haven't spoken to her in a while, actually. I should do that soon. How's your.. dad?" 2D asked doubtfully, knowing about the history between Murdoc and his father.

"Yeah, your mum's a lovely lady.. My dad? Think he's doing well. Hope not though," Murdoc said with a chuckle.

2D laughed with him. The conversation started to flow more easily, more comfortably, and soon they were chatting contently, not even thinking about the holding hands situation. The park was almost empty now since it was evening, although Murdoc had spotted a few paparazzi in the bushes.

"I just don't know why they do it though. Why the fuck would you be blubbing for god knows how long about some bloke who doesn't give a shit about you," Murdoc exclaimed, rolling his eyes.

2D nodded in agreement. "Birds are weird."

Murdoc nodded. Silence fell. The bassist and singer looked at each other, both thinking the same thing. Murdoc sighed, and went to sit next to 2D instead of opposite him.

"Might as well get this over with," the bassist muttered.

He leaned forward, his lips almost touching the stunned 2D's.

"Remember," he said quietly. "No tongue, no other physical contact."

"I wouldn't even want to," 2D breathed.

Murdoc closed the gap, pressing his lips against the singer's. They forgot everyone around them, they forgot their situation, they forgot that they actually weren't supposed to want this.

All they focused on were each others lips, moving against each other. Murdoc's hand went up to the back of 2D's head, tangling his fingers in the singer's hair.

2D snaked his arms behind Murdoc's neck, pulling him in closer. The kiss became more desperate as Murdoc's tongue slid across 2D's lip, and the latter opened his mouth, letting the long tongue slide in. The bassist's hand moved down to 2D's face, cupping his cheek.

Their tongues moved against each other, brushing harshly. 2D suddenly let out a low moan from the back of his throat when Murdoc bit into his lip.

This shook them back to reality, and they broke away quickly. The pair stared at each other for a while, panting a little.

Murdoc ran a hand through his hair, looking away.

"Well, I think we gave the press enough to keep them happy for a while," he muttered.
