Thank you for the reviews, and I'm sorry this took such a long time. I was on holiday and didn't have any internet. Enjoy!
2D woke up abruptly, shivering as a cold breeze brushed along his face. After he had rubbed his eyes and they had gotten accustomed to the light, he noticed that the sky was still pink and the window had blown wide open overnight.
He sat up, glancing down at Murdoc. The latter was curled up into himself, a frown on his face as he shivered violently. 2D sighed, standing up and shutting the window. He then sat back down next to the bassist, staring at him and wondering what to do. Evidently no one was awake, which meant it was really fucking early. They didn't have this chance often..
He leaned down, shaking Murdoc's shoulders gently.
"Muds.. wake up," he whispered, shaking more roughly.
"Muds!"
"Eh? What the fuck.." the other man groaned, opening his eyes and blinking up at him, confused.
"C'mon Murdoc.. Noods and Russ are asleep, let's go out before they wake up," the singer whispered.
Murdoc squinted up at him. "They're still asleep? What fucking time is it?"
2D grabbed his phone, looking at the time. "Six."
"Sweet Satan.." the bassist grumbled, rubbing his eyes.
"Let's go?" 2D asked it as a question, still unsure of himself and of them.
Murdoc looked up at him and nodded, smiling tiredly. 2D flashed him a grin, jumping up and pulling on his clothes. The pair of them quickly brushed their teeth, and 2D was about to walk out the door when Murdoc pulled him back at the collar.
"You're not going anywhere without some food in your stomach," he growled.
2D rolled his eyes. "Muds, please. I'm not even hungry and we have to get out of here quickly if we want to avoid-"
"Nope," the bassist said simply.
"Fine!"
The singer quickly went into the kitchen, got an apple and chomped on it while walking back, annoyed. Murdoc gave a satisfied nod, opening the door for 2D and ruffling his hair as he stomped through.
They quietly walked into the forest, the leaves crunching under their shoes.
"Want to go far or stay around the house a little?" Murdoc asked softly.
The cold air was so still and calm, neither of them really wanted to ruin it.
"Let's go far," 2D replied, equally soft, throwing his apple core on the ground.
Murdoc nodded, took his hand and started walking faster. After a while, the sun started shining on their faces and they walked in a slower pace again, wandering relaxedly, still holding hands.
"Think Noodle and Russ'll be up yet?" 2D asked casually.
"Yeah," Murdoc replied with a smirk.
2D glanced at him. "Think they'll be wondering where we are?"
"Yeah," the bassist replied again, his smirk growing.
2D started grinning a little now. He scratched his head. "You got your phone with you?"
"Nope. You?"
"No."
They both chuckled, Murdoc getting his packet of cigarettes out of his pocket.
"D'you think they'll be angry?" the singer then asked sheepishly, while accepting a fag from the older man.
"Yeah," Murdoc winked, lighting 2D's cigarette for him.
2D grinned at him, before taking a long drag. "We're horrible people."
"We are. But so are Russel and Noodle. Look how they've been pestering us," Murdoc reasoned, taking a drag from his cigarette.
"True.. especially Noods," 2D agreed.
"We have been absolutely awful, though," the bassist then said, scratching his chin.
"Well.." 2D trailed off.
"What?" Murdoc pressed on.
"I was about to say it was for a good reason, but that's not true," the singer then said quietly.
"Hmm. We were both being bloody idiots," Murdoc muttered. "Let's sit here."
They were standing in front of a small stream, and as 2D sat down on a flat rock, he pulled off his shoes and socks and gently dipped his feet in the water.
Murdoc sat down as well, leaning himself against 2D.
"Muds?"
"Hmm?"
The singer hesitated. "What are we now?"
The older man didn't reply for a while.
"I don't know," he then said quietly.
He tentatively leaned forward, holding 2D's chin with his forefinger and thumb. The bassist pressed a kiss against the younger man's lips, and 2D returned it carefully, nervously. They broke away from each other, not pulling their gazes away.
"But we're not the same," Murdoc then muttered, running his thumb along 2D's cheek.
"Did you have any nightmares by the way?" he asked, changing the subject.
2D ran a hand through his hair. "No."
Murdoc smirked slightly. "Good."
The singer looked at him, narrowing his eyes. "What the fuck is that smug look for?"
The older man laughed, leaning back against the trunk of a tree, folding his hands behind his head.
"Seems I have to sleep with you every night then," he grinned, closing his eyes.
He got pulled out of his relaxed state by a cold splash of water in his face. He jumped up with a yelp, almost falling into the water before being pulled back by 2D.
The latter grinned at Murdoc as they both remembered a similar situation.
"Maybe you do have to," 2D then said with a shrug, throwing the bassist a teasing glance.
"Cunt," Murdoc mumbled with a smile, wiping down his face. "This water could be fucking infected for all we know. If I'm dead tomorrow I'll be haunting you for the rest of your life."
"I've got my feet in it, you pansy. If it were infected I would have known," the singer grinned at him.
"You calling me a fucking pansy?"
"I just did, didn't I?"
"Watch it, faceache."
Murdoc gave him a teasing flick on the nose, making 2D sneeze. What little tension there was left had completely disappeared, and 2D leaned his head sideways on Murdoc's shoulder, moving his feet around in the water.
"Twat," he muttered, rubbing his nose.
The bassist gave a throaty laugh. "Bless you. I could do you more harm than a sneeze, love."
2D looked at him. "You wouldn't, though."
Murdoc glanced at him.
"Not anymore," the singer added, on a quieter tone.
The bassist ran a hand through 2D's hair.
"No," he agreed quietly. "I wouldn't."
"Did you used to hate me?" 2D asked abruptly.
He was avoiding Murdoc's eyes, staring at his feet in the water.
"What? No," Murdoc replied, frowning. "Why would you think so?"
"Well, it's what I used to think. I used to think that was the reason you were so horrible to me and beat me up all the time," the singer said, shaking his hair in front of his eyes.
Murdoc groaned, running a hand through his own hair. "2D, I've never hated you. Ever. No matter what the fuck I've said, I've never hated you in my life."
"Well, then.. why?" 2D looked up at him with slightly narrowed eyes.
"I don't know.. why did I say those things on the radio?" Murdoc retorted quietly.
2D stayed silent for some time, thinking. "You're saying that you've been acting that way all this time because you didn't know how you were feeling about me?"
The bassist nodded. "Apparently. It's a bloody awful reason, I know, but then again, I'm a bloody awful person."
2D grinned, putting an arm around Murdoc's shoulders. "No, you're not. You're Murdoc."
Murdoc rolled his eyes. "Same meaning, innit?"
The singer sighed. "No, Muds. It really isn't."
"Hey, Stu?" Murdoc suddenly said.
"Yeah?"
"If I ever do hurt you again, leave me, you hear?"
2D blinked at him.
"Give me a good punch on the nose and leave me. Yeah?"
The singer didn't know how to react. Murdoc sighed and put both hands on his shoulders.
"Stuart. I'm serious. Promise me."
2D swallowed, and then nodded slowly. The bassist also gave a satisfied nod, and let go of 2D's shoulders again.
"But you won't need to do that," he then said reassuringly. "Because at least now we're both more.. sure about everything."
The singer nodded again. "A bit."
"A bit," Murdoc agreed. "But a big bit."
They were silent for a while.
"But that's not really a bit then, is it," 2D then remarked smartly.
Murdoc rolled his eyes good-naturedly. "Shut up and stop being so sodding difficult. We both know what I mean."
"Yeah, all right," 2D said with a grin.
Silence fell. They both watched the singer's toes wiggle in the water, causing bubbles in the little stream. Eventually Murdoc pulled off his shoes and socks as well, dropping his feet in the water.
"Ooh, watch out, you might get infected," 2D sneered.
"Shut it, fuckface," Murdoc smirked, and suddenly he put his hand on the back of 2D's head, pulling him into a rough kiss.
The singer's eyes widened in surprise, but quickly fell shut as he wrapped his arms around Murdoc's neck, deepening the kiss. He felt his toes curl in the cool water as the bassist's teeth grazed his lower lip.
Murdoc's fingertips started running up and down his back slowly, causing him to shiver. 2D felt himself keeping back a moan.
He opened his mouth, and Murdoc's tongue entered it, exploring every corner of his mouth in an agonisingly slow pace. His own tongue met the bassist's, and they moved along each other. Soon, the situation became clear. They were both trying to get the other to succumb first. Murdoc's skilled tongue was teasing 2D's while his hands crept up under his shirt, nails raking along his back.
In return 2D was biting on the other man's tongue and lips, the bites becoming more and more harsh by the second. His hands were on Murdoc's chest, slowly moving their way down.
By the time his hands had reached Murdoc's navel, 2D was bright red and Murdoc's cheeks had turned an interesting pink colour. The singer abruptly put his hand on the bassist's crotch, causing him to elicit a loud, low-pitched growl.
The younger man gave a triumphant grin until Murdoc dug his nails deeply into his back while pulling him roughly closer. A moan escaped 2D's lips into the other man's mouth, and Murdoc swallowed it hungrily.
"Muds, let's not do this outside," he then gasped, pulling himself away with great difficulty.
"Yeah," Murdoc agreed, moving his lips to 2D's neck.
The latter's head fell back as he let out small moans, enthusiastically exposing more of his neck to the bassist.
"Oh, fuck it," 2D then sighed, groaning as Murdoc bit his neck harshly.
The singer got pushed back, his elbows leaning on the ground, keeping him upright as Murdoc leaned forward. He was sure his neck was completely black and blue by now, a large number of love-bites covering it. His legs spread, giving the bassist more access. Their crotches rubbed, and they both bit their lips to stop themselves from making too much noise.
2D clenched his legs around Murdoc's waist, pushing him closer. The latter stopped abruptly, leaning up and looking down on 2D's face.
"Look.. I don't have anything on me and I don't want to hurt you.." he panted, running his hand along 2D's cheek.
The latter looked up at him, biting his lip when he realised what he meant. Suddenly he sat up, pushing Murdoc off him. The bassist looked at him in confusion before 2D pushed him back against the trunk of a tree, his fingers pulling at Murdoc's belt loops. He slowly pulled his trousers down, causing the older man to shiver slightly.
2D hesitated before pulling off Murdoc's underwear as well, then leaned forward and pressed a kiss against his lips.
"I owe you, remember," he whispered with a small smirk.
The bassist hissed, his insides churning at the look on the younger man's face. He watched 2D as the latter slowly moved his head downwards, until his lips brushed the tip of Murdoc's member, making him arch upwards.
Slowly he started taking more of the bassist's member into his mouth, sucking slightly and smirking at the moans and growls it was causing.
Murdoc's fingers clawed at 2D's hair as he started moving faster and sucking harder, his tongue brushing roughly and his teeth grazing it occasionally.
"Fucking hell.." Murdoc groaned huskily, his head falling back against the tree.
2D let out a low chuckle at these words, and the bassist jolted forwards, a loud moan escaping from his lips at the vibration. Eventually Murdoc felt himself getting closer, and his nails dug into 2D's scalp as he thrust into his mouth. With one last, loud, grunting "Fuck!" he came into the singer's mouth, and the latter swallowed it quickly.
Murdoc sat there for a few seconds with his eyes closed, panting and toying absent-mindedly with 2D's hair, until 2D sat up and kissed him slowly.
He kissed him back tiredly, wrapping his arms around the singer's neck and pulling him closer. They got interrupted by a loud growl. They broke apart, looking at each other with amused faces.
"That wasn't my stomach," 2D stated.
"I think it was. I'm not hungry at all," Murdoc grinned, pulling his clothes back on.
"I'm not either. And I had an apple this morning, you didn't have anything," the singer argued.
"I had a cigarette for breakfast. That's more than enough for me."
2D laughed, digging into his pockets in agreement. He offered Murdoc one, then stuck his own fag between his lips.
"True. Either way, one of us needs food, whether we like it or not," he smirked, cigarette dangling between his lips.
Murdoc lit it for him. "Yep. We should head back, don't you think? With some luck Noods and Russ are still asleep."
"You daft? They'll have probably already phoned the fucking police. It wouldn't surprise me if that little cottage is surrounded by police cars when we get home," 2D said as he stood up.
The bassist laughed. "Yeah. Listen up for any barking, they might have search dogs looking for us."
They both burst into a fit of sniggers, their hands automatically finding each other as they made their way back.
"By the way.." 2D began.
"What?"
"I've got lube in my toilet bag."
Murdoc paused, looking at him with narrowed eyes.
"And why did you bring that, exactly?" he then asked, a smirk tugging at his lips.
2D turned red. "Well, you never fucking know! And anyway, it was already in there. I didn't deliberately pack it for this trip, you overconfident sod."
The bassist laughed, pulling 2D closer and kissing him on the nose. "Whatever, love."
Thank you for reading, please leave reviews and I'll continue!
