Thank you for the reviews, enjoy!
"Fucking hell, finally!"
Murdoc and 2D fell inside, with a shriek from Noodle.
"Where were you?! Russel and I have been trying to call you all night-"
"We both left our phones at home," Murdoc grunted, dragging himself to the couch and crashing down on it, 2D soon joining him.
"HOW FUCKING RETARDED IS THAT?" Russel suddenly boomed, making the bassist and singer jump.
"We were fucking rushing, we didn't think about it!" Murdoc snapped.
"We specifically told you two that we would call you once everything was okay again! You have no idea how worried we were!" Noodle exclaimed.
"Sorry," 2D mumbled, his voice muffled by the couch.
"Where were you? How did you get home?" Russel demanded.
"We were in the middle of fucking nowhere, we walked for like four hours and then some bloke gave us a lift," Murdoc answered drily.
"If you guys don't mind, I'm going to bed," 2D then groaned, pulling himself up and slouching to his room.
"Yeah, me too," Murdoc grumbled, starting to walk after 2D.
"Isn't your room the other way?" Russel asked, frowning.
"Shut up," the bassist muttered, catching up to 2D in the hallway.
Russel and Noodle glanced at each other, Russel in amusement and Noodle in satisfaction.
"My clothes are all wet," 2D wailed, as Murdoc shut the door to his room.
"Take 'em off then," the bassist growled, doing exactly that.
2D pulled his shirt and trousers off, throwing them somewhere in a corner. He crawled into his bed, sighing at the heat after having been in the freezing rain for the past few hours. Murdoc shoved him aside, curling up under the blankets as well.
"I'm not even sleepy," 2D then mumbled. "My whole body is just so, so tired.."
"Same," came Murdoc's muffled answer. "I'm not coming out of this bed for another week."
The singer smiled a little, turning around towards Murdoc. The latter opened one eye and pulled him closer, warming both of them up with each others body heat.
"That's fine with me," 2D then grinned, wrapping his arms around Murdoc's waist and snuggling closer.
The bassist smirked. "I know."
2D leaned up, bringing his face closer to Murdoc's. He kissed him softly, his leg wrapping around Murdoc's hips. The latter responded by running his hands down 2D's chest, happy they were both only in their underwear.
2D broke away, leaning his head in the crook of Murdoc's neck.
"Muds?" he mumbled.
"Hm?"
"Don't ever leave, okay?"
Murdoc didn't reply for a long time, he just kept running his hands slowly along 2D's back.
"Yeah," he said eventually, keeping his voice low.
They both started when the sharp ringing of a phone filled their ears.
"Oh yeah, now my phone's with me," 2D muttered, reaching for his phone on the bedside table.
"Hello?"
Murdoc looked at him as 2D frowned.
"Who is this?" the singer asked, sounding wary.
"What's wrong?" Murdoc hissed.
2D's lips thinned as irritation covered his face. "We're not posting a fucking sex tape online! How the fuck did you get this number?!"
Murdoc growled, grabbing the phone and ending the conversation.
"If I ever get my hands on this wanker.."
"I need a new number.." 2D muttered.
"Speaking of sex, though.. I really need a shag, and soon," the bassist then stated.
2D glanced at him. "Me too," he agreed.
They looked at each other for a while.
"Not now," Murdoc then said quickly.
2D nodded hastily. "Other time. We're too tired, anyway."
"Yeah. I'm going to try and get some shuteye," Murdoc muttered, turning around.
"Me too," 2D said quickly, turning around as well so that their backs were both facing.
They were both relieved to discover that they were in fact tired, and they quickly fell asleep, trying to touch each other as little as possible.
Murdoc woke up first. He looked down, and saw 2D curled up against him, with his own arm around the singer. He sighed, staring at the ceiling.
How long had it been now? Two weeks? A little more than two weeks. They still had a long time to go, and to be honest, Murdoc was starting to become a little afraid of the amount of affection he was starting to feel for the singer.
Sure, it was fun to be able to play around, but it seemed they were being a little too.. intimate to just be faking.
And were they really going to go all the way? Sure, Murdoc almost never turned down an opportunity to shag, but this was different. He was.. afraid of what he might be feeling after the happening.
He rolled his eyes. He was over-thinking again. This was ridiculous, he should stop worrying about stupid, unnecessary and above all, unrealistic things.
The bassist took one last look at 2D's sleeping face, then carefully removed himself from the bed, pulling on a pair of 2D's jeans and quietly leaving the room.
He went to the kitchen, feeling his stomach rumble. He opened the fridge door, deciding to dig into some left over lasagna.
He jumped when he heard footsteps behind him.
"Noodle! You gave me a bloody fright. Shouldn't you be in bed by now love?"
"Sorry. I can't sleep.. can I sit with you for a while?" she asked quietly.
"Sure," Murdoc shrugged, putting the lasagna on a plate.
He sat down at the table and started eating. Noodle looked at his plate of food, sighing. He glanced up at her, getting another plate and moving some of his lasagna onto it. He handed it to Noodle, who accepted it with a grateful smile.
"So how did you get all those people away anyway?" Murdoc asked curiously.
"Well, I told them there had been a mistake and if they would please go home.. they didn't seem to like that very much."
"I wonder why," Murdoc muttered ruefully.
"Then Russel got the dictaphone and told them all to.. go away, in somewhat harsher words," Noodle then giggled.
"Eventually they realised nothing was going to happen, and slowly they left."
The bassist nodded, and they ate in silence for a while.
"How did you and 2D get through last night?" Noodle then asked.
Murdoc looked down, toying in the lasagna with his fork. He didn't want to worry Noodle. "Err.. well, you know how hard it was raining.. we took shelter somewhere and then as soon as it became morning we started walking."
The guitarist's eyes widened. "God.. look, I'm so sorry. That was a really stupid thing of me to do. I hope you're not too angry.."
Murdoc smiled, shaking his head. "Nah, forget it, love. We're home now, aren't we?"
Noodle looked down. "I suppose.. I hope either of you two don't become ill from being outside in the freezing cold and rain that long."
Murdoc frowned, remembering how easily 2D became ill. He hadn't thought of that. He gave Noodle a reassuring grin, though.
"Don't worry! We're big lads. Now eat your lasagna and go to bed before you end up getting my sleeping habits."
Noodle grinned at him. "That's impossible, Murdoc. But.. will you stay with me for just a while longer? I'm not tired at all.."
Murdoc sighed. "Of course, love. Why are you having those sleeping issues, anyway?"
Noodle shrugged. "Puberty, probably.. I don't know. What's your excuse?"
The bassist narrowed his eyes at her, and she beamed. "Don't you get sassy with me, miss. Don't forget that I am being incredibly patient with you right now."
"Only because I've got something incredibly embarrassing about you," Noodle responded, and Murdoc chuckled, admitting his defeat.
"Fine, fine. That deserves some hot chocolate, don't you think?"
Noodle grinned and nodded vigorously. She cleared the plates away and started washing them as Murdoc was preparing her hot chocolate.
Finally, they both sat down, Noodle with a steaming mug of sweet deliciousness, and Murdoc with a can of beer.
"I really don't think you should be drinking alcohol at this time of night," Noodle remarked after a while, taking a sip of her drink.
"What, and you think all that sugar is any better? You're going to be bouncing by the time you're finished."
The guitarist laughed. "I doubt it. Thank you, Murdoc."
The latter looked up. "For what, love?"
"For the lasagna. For the hot chocolate. For staying with me even though all you want to do right now is go back to bed," she said, smiling.
Murdoc smiled back at her, ruffling her hair. "Anything for you, love. Even though you are sort of ruining my bloody life right now.."
Noodle laughed, setting down her now empty mug and leaned forward, hugging him. He hugged her back, and they stayed like that for a while
They broke away, and Murdoc looked at the girl sternly.
"Now, it's time for you to go to bed. We don't want Russel kicking my head in."
"Alright, Murdoc. Good night," she said with a smile. "Love you."
"Love you too, Noods. Now get your arse to bed," he said gruffly.
The girl giggled and gave Murdoc a kiss on the cheek, before leaving to her room. Murdoc leaned back on his chair, finishing his beer before finally getting up and leaving to his Winnebago.
