Thank you for the reviews, enjoy!
Murdoc and 2D lay in 2D's bed, still panting a little. Murdoc pulled his arm away from under 2D, shifting slightly away.
"Aw come on, Muds. I'm cold," 2D wailed softly.
"Then you should have fixed that heating. Suck it up," Murdoc snapped.
2D pouted and turned away from him. They lay there in silence for a few minutes, neither of them being able to sleep.
"What time is it, faceache?" Murdoc then asked.
2D glanced at the clock on his bedside table. Three o'clock. He kept his mouth shut, pretending to be asleep.
Murdoc rolled his eyes. "2D, whatever happens, please never become an actor."
2D pouted even more, still not answering.
Murdoc sighed. "Don't be like that. Come on, you can come here if you want."
"No. Now I don't want to," 2D muttered.
"2D, for fuck's sake," Murdoc growled.
Still no reaction.
Murdoc then roughly pulled 2D toward him, wrapping his arm around him tightly, making escape impossible.
"Muds, let me go," 2D squeaked halfheartedly.
"Nope," Murdoc said with a grin, forcing 2D to snuggle into him.
2D succumbed, and let Murdoc hold him tightly as they both drifted off to sleep.
The following morning 2D awoke to the delicious scent of pancakes. He jolted forward, accidentally throwing Murdoc roughly off him. The latter growled sharply and turned over.
"Muds!" 2D shook Murdoc's shoulders. "Wake up, we're having pancakes!"
Murdoc snarled and pulled his pillow over his head. "Fuck off, dentface," came his muffled snap.
"Muds, come on! Get up!" 2D started jumping up and down on the bed, nudging Murdoc with each jump.
"OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE!" Murdoc then screamed, throwing the pillow off his head. "Fine, I'll come and eat your sodding pancakes with you! Satan!"
2D gave a giggle when he was sure Murdoc wouldn't hit him, and jumped out of bed, tugging at Murdoc's wrist.
Murdoc followed grudgingly, stumbling down the stairs as 2D tugged him along. Right before they got the kitchen door, Murdoc stopped.
2D kept on walking, and almost pulled Murdoc's arm out of its socket. Murdoc jerked back.
"Muds, what is it?" 2D asked confused.
"Shut it!" Murdoc hissed, pulling 2D toward him.
2D's face went from confused to flushed as he realized what Murdoc was going to do. The bassist pulled the singer into a kiss, pulling him closer.
2D broke away. "Muds, Noodle and Russel are in the kitchen!" he whispered.
"Which makes it so much more exciting," Murdoc growled with a smirk that made 2D shiver.
He pulled him back into a short, but deep kiss, then shoved him away and walked to the kitchen with a grin.
"Good morning guys," 2D said with a smile as he entered the kitchen after Murdoc.
Noodle frowned at him, looking concerned. "Are you feeling alright, 2D? You look like you have a fever. Come, let me check."
"No, I'm fine, Noods! Pass me the maple syrup, please," 2D said hastily as he sat down.
"What do you guys think of going to the beach today?" Russel asked.
Murdoc glared at him. "Does it look like fucking beach weather to you, fat arse?"
"Man, can't you say one friendly sentence? Anyway, we could go for a walk or something. I don't want to stay inside all day," Russel said.
"I think it's a good idea," 2D said brightly.
Murdoc rolled his eyes. "As you do, you dullard. Well, count me out."
"Murdoc, seriously. Come out with us. It'll be fun," Noodle insisted.
"No way. You think I'm eighty years old, that for fun I go out for walks on the beach?" Murdoc snapped.
Russel and Noodle glared at him. 2D looked at him with his huge black puppy dog eyes, making Murdoc cringed and look away sharply.
"Muds.." 2D started, cooing.
Murdoc shook his head vigorously. "Shut it."
"Muds.. pleaaaase?" 2D went on cooing.
"Shut it!" Murdoc snapped.
"Aw, Murdoc, look at that face. How could you say no to that?" Russel smirked.
"I ain't looking," Murdoc snarled.
"Murdoc, come on," Noodle was laughing.
Murdoc made the mistake of glancing in 2D's general direction. His bottom lip was trembling and he was looking up at Murdoc through his hair.
"Fuck!" Murdoc yelled. "Fine, I'll come! But only because I've got nothing better to do, not because of that ugly idiot. Like I care if he wants me to come or not."
2D's face clouded. The others didn't pay attention, though.
"Great, that's settled. We'll leave at two," Russel said as he brought his plate to the sink.
"2D, are you sure you're alright?" Noodle asked gently when she saw his facial expression.
He looked up at her and smiled briefly. "I'm fine Noods. I'll just go and get ready now."
He stood up and walked to his room quickly. Slowly, he sat down on his bed.
Well, that hurt. Murdoc didn't have to be that mean to make his point clear, did he? 2D lay down on his bed, lost in thought.
The door flew open.
"I thought you were getting ready?" Murdoc said as he shut the door behind him.
"I.. am," 2D answered slowly.
Murdoc stared at him, and shook his head. "You are fucking stupid, you know that?"
2D frowned. "Yeah, I do. You tell me all the time," he replied bitterly.
Murdoc looked surprised at this sudden outburst.
"What's up with you?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Nothing, Murdoc," 2D replied, and stood up, getting his clothes from the cupboard.
He turned to leave the room.
"Where are you going?" Murdoc asked confused.
"I'm going to the bathroom to get dressed. You won't have to see my ugly body that way," 2D said drily, and left the room, leaving a very confused Murdoc staring at the door.
Two hours later, they were all sitting in the car, with Russel at the wheel. They didn't trust Murdoc enough since they were making him come and he wasn't the most calm driver.
2D sat in the back next to Murdoc, who was glancing at him every 5 minutes. 2D stared stubbornly out of the window, ignoring the questioning looks.
Noodle and Russel were aware of the cold silence in the back, but didn't comment. When they finally got to the beach, 2D stepped out of the car and immediately took Noodle's wrist, pulling her to the water.
Russel followed them, and Murdoc trailed slowly behind.
"2D, don't! You'll become ill, the water's freezing!" Noodle called as 2D pulled off his shoes, rolled up his jeans and started wading into the water.
"Don't worry, Noods! The water's lovely!" he laughed.
Noodle shrieked as he splashed her with the ice cold water. Then she quickly tugged of her shoes and rolled up her jeans too, then ran after 2D, splashing him with water too.
Russel soon joined them, laughing as they soaked each other. Murdoc stayed stubbornly on the sand, glaring at them.
"Muds, come on in!" Noodle laughed.
"No, thanks. I'm not a fucking two year old," Murdoc snapped.
"Oh, stop being such a killjoy," Noodle said, rolling her eyes.
"Just ignore him. If he wants to stay there, let him," 2D said to Noodle without looking at Murdoc once.
"Hey! I'm fucking here, you obnoxious peace of shit!" Murdoc snarled.
2D completely ignored him, and he gave gasping laughs as he tripped backwards into the water.
"I hope you catch a fucking cold," Murdoc muttered at the sight of him.
Eventually, Noodle dragged herself out of the water, panting and soaking wet. She sat next to Murdoc.
"What, are you done fooling around?" Murdoc asked bitterly.
"Yeah, I am. Why don't you go and join them?" Noodle asked, squeezing out her wet hair.
"I already said no. Why would I want to play around in the water with an annoying lard arse and a stupid, idiotic, dumb faceache?" Murdoc snapped.
"Because they both love you and want to have fun with you. If you keep excluding yourself from everything we do, we're going to grow apart until it'll be Noodle and 2D and Russel.. and you," Noodle said quietly.
Murdoc was shocked into silence for a moment. Then he scoffed.
"Yeah, they love me to bits. Russel and I bite each others head off every time we're in the same room, and don't get me started on 2D and I.."
Noodle was quiet for a moment. "You and Russel have that kind of relationship. You care for each other, and you know it."
Murdoc was quiet.
"And 2D. Murdoc, really, do you need me to say anything?" Noodle then said softly.
Murdoc frowned. "What are you talking about? I don't love-" he spat the word out like it was something disgusting- "that fucking faceache. He doesn't love me either. And we never will."
Noodle rested her gaze on Russel and 2D, not saying anything for a few moments.
"If you keep lying to yourself, you won't be able to tell lies from the truth anymore," she then said softly.
Murdoc didn't say anything as he followed Noodle's gaze. Russel was mercilessly splashing 2D's face with water, causing him to choke and laugh at the same time.
"Don't fucking kill him, you stupid fat arse!" Murdoc yelled before he could stop himself.
He caught Noodle's eye, and she was looking at him with a little smirk.
"What!" he snarled. "I don't want to lose my fucking vocalist!"
Noodle nodded, still bearing that annoying, knowing smirk. "Okay, Murdoc."
"Stop looking at me like that, Noodle!" Murdoc snapped.
Noodle laughed quietly and stood up. "Come on, Murdoc. Come into the water with us once?" she asked, holding out her hand.
Murdoc looked from her hand to 2D and Russel. It did look like loads of fun. He sighed loudly.
"Fine! God damn it, the things I do for you.. I can't believe I'm getting my fucking feet wet and the water's freezing.." Murdoc kept on muttering as they neared the water.
He reluctantly pulled of his boots, and rolled up his jeans a little.
He slowly waded into the water, cursing at the coldness.
"If any of you pushes me I will rip your head off!" he yelled to the others.
Noodle and Russel laughed, 2D ignored him completely. Seriously, this was making him fucking angry.
He waded over to 2D, and pulled him further to the side by his wrist. Noodle and Russel looked on suspiciously.
"Don't worry, just forgot to tell him something," Murdoc reassured them. It didn't help, of course.
Murdoc leaned forward so 2D would be able to hear him over the slopping of the waves.
"2D, what the fuck is up with you?" Murdoc hissed. "You're acting like you're on your fucking period."
2D glared at him and pulled his wrist away. "Whatever, Murdoc," he replied angrily.
"No, don't 'whatever' me! You can't just act like this and then expect me to ignore it! You're being so fucking annoying!" Murdoc snapped.
"Then just leave me alone. You won't have to see my ugly self who you don't care about anyway, and I won't have to see the selfish, mean dick who continues to hurt me," 2D hissed, and turned around to Russel and Noodle.
