Chapter .8.

Daisuki…

It had been at least an hour since 2D was wheeled away on the gurney. Noodle was still encased in Murdoc's hug as Russel fiddled with a pen he found on the floor. All three of them felling worried and scared, wondering if their band mate will make it out ok. Noodle was the worst. She was crying so much her eyes had turned red and were really sore.

"What the hell's taking them?" snapped Murdoc, still hugging Noodle.

"Mudz…you have to give 'em time…" Russel sighed

"Too much bloody time!"

There was a brief silence…

"I know you're worried bout him Mudz…" sighed Russel "But I'm sure raising your voice isn't helping Noodle stay calm…"

Murdoc said nothing, instead he let out a quiet grunt. A nurse finally came walking towards them. As soon as she saw her, Noodle leapt to her feet.

"How is he?" Noodle asked breathlessly

"Stuart had a nasty bump to his head and he needed a few stitches on the back of his skull." Began the nurse "He's running a fever and seems to have the flu which explains the vomiting. He seems to have two slight dents in his head too were they caused in the fall?"

"Nahr, he's always been a deformed little sod." Added Murdoc.

"The good news is that there was no internal bleeding. He should be able to go home today after some rest." Added the nurse

Noodle was close to tears of happiness. He was ok! She hadn't lost him!

"Arigatou-gozaimasu!" Noodle said loudly as she bowed to the nurse.

"She said thanks." Smiled Russel "Would it be ok for her to see him while we take care of the bill? She's his little sister."

"Of course" answered the nurse "Right this way."

The nurse led Noodle down a long, white corridor, filled with doctors and nurses scattered all over. They eventually came to room 203.

"Now he may seem a bit drowsy sweetheart" said the nurse "and he doesn't seem like the brightest bulb in the box so, use small words ok?"

And on that note, the nurse left. Noodle took a deep breath and opened the door. Inside was a grey room with a single plant, a chair, a TV and a bed, and in that bed lie 2D with a bandage wrapped around his head where his wound was. He looked pale as a sheet and really sickly. He was asleep but clearly he was restless. She made her way to the red plastic chair next to the bed and sat down. She leaned over and began to stroke his cheek softly.

"Onii-chan?" she said softly

2D slowly opened his blackened eyes and turned his head to face Noodle.

"N-Noodle?" he smiled "Hey darling how are you?"

"Better than you by the looks of it." She joked.

2D let out a weak little laugh. He pushed himself to sit up in the bed and rested his head on the cropped-up pillow. Noodle helped him to get comfy.

"Ow my head…" he groaned

"It hurt?" she asked as she leant on her elbows on the bed.

"I'm ok love." He smiled bravely.

"Russel and Murdoc were really worried…" she sighed "atashi mo…"

"Hey come 'ere" he smiled as he held his arms out. "Come give me a hug you little monkey."

She let him wrap his arms around her as she clung to him as she always did when she hugged him. 2D, though still feeling weak and ill, felt a great sense of joy as he held Noodle close to his heart, and he knew the right thing to say that would make this moment even happier…

"Noodle-chan…" he began "daisuki dayo…"

Noodle looked up at him in disbelief. He spoke Japanese! He had actually learned a bit of Japanese! She suddenly began sobbing once again.

"Noodle? I said it wrong didn't I?" gasped 2D "I didn't insult you did I?"

"Baka…" sobbed Noodle "I am crying because of happiness! I thought I lost you!"

2D wiped away her tears and smiled at her.

"Ah!" he yelped

"Onii-chan?"

"It's alright darling" he smiled as he leaned back on the pillow "I'm just a little dizzy that's all."

"Sensei said you can come home today." Smiled Noodle

"That's good." 2D smiled back

There was a knock at the door as Murdoc and Russel came bursting through the door. They made their way over to 2D and both sat on the edge of the bed.

"Hey 'D how you doing?" asked Russel

"I'm alright, just a bad headache" 2D answered with a smile "Sorry if you all got worried or something..."

"Well you should be sorry dullard!" barked Murdoc "we were all scared to death!"

2D smiled. Scared to death was it? He was shocked but at the same time happy that Murdoc actually cared.

"Worried about me were you Mudz?" he laughed

"NO!" barked Murdoc "I just didn't feel like looking for a new vocalist!"

"Oh…" sighed 2D sadly as he began to fiddle with his fingers.

"Fine…" growled Murdoc "I was a bit worried 'bout ya…just a bit."

"Wow Mudz, you really care bout 'D don't ya?" laughed Russel.

"NO!"

"Murdoc loves 2D Onii-chan really!" giggled Noodle

"That's it!" snapped Murdoc "One more word out of ANYONE and he's not coming home at all!"

Noodle shut up immediately. Believing Murdoc meant what he said, she gripped 2D's arm tightly and rested her head against it.

"Noodle love," smiled 2D "He's only joking you know"

"Am I?" Murdoc growled under his breath

"Mudz, cut it out!" snarled Russel as he flicked Murdoc on the back of his head.

2D pulled back the pale blue hospital blanket and sat on the edge of the bed. He pushed himself with his arms and despite how much his joints ached; he managed to get off of the bed. Noodle hooked his arm around her shoulder to support him because he was clearly dizzy and dazed.

"I-I think I'm ready to go home now..." said 2D in a tired voice.

"Ok 'D." smiled Russel "Lets get you home."

On that note, the band left the Hospital together.
