Thank you for the reviews, enjoy!
"Want some tea, Noodle?" Murdoc asked as he, Russel and 2D stood in her room.
"No!" Noodle shouted quickly, before coughing.
They had all tasted enough of Murdoc's tea to make the right decision.
"Do you want some soup?" 2D offered.
"No, thank you," Noodle said hoarsely.
"Do you need more cough medicine?" Russel asked.
"No! Honestly, guys, what I need right now is rest. Thank you," Noodle said, exasperated.
"Are you sure?" Russel asked, worriedly.
It had been a week now, and Noodle was slowly getting better. The boys were worrying about her like she was on her deathbed, and in the beginning she had found it rather endearing, but now it was starting to irritate her. All she wanted was some peace and quiet to sleep it off, but that was a bit hard with the guys bustling in every five minutes to see how she was doing.
"Yes, I'm sure. I really appreciate what you've all done for me, but right now the best thing for me to do is sleep," Noodle said with emphasis, puling the blankets over her chin.
"If you say so. Come on guys, let's go. We'll be back in-" Russel began.
"No! Just, don't come in, okay? I'm a very light sleeper and if you keep waking me up I won't get any rest," Noodle said tiredly.
"Alright, then. Goodnight, Noods," Murdoc said, and gently ruffled her hair.
2D squeezed her hand and Russel put his hand on her shoulder. Noodle shook her head with a small smile, they really were acting as if she were on the brink of death.
They shut the door behind them, and Murdoc and 2D bid Russel good night. They went to 2D's room.
This whole week, 2D had been sharing his room with Murdoc. Murdoc had been sleeping on the mattress, refusing to fall asleep in 2D's bed. They had stayed up almost the whole night every night though, and eventually, they were spending all the time before they went to sleep curled up into each other, sometimes speaking softly, sometimes not saying anything at all.
Sometimes they lay on the mattress, sometimes on 2D's bed. But Murdoc always made sure they were both on their own beds before they went to sleep.
2D shut the door softly behind him, and started putting on his pajamas. Murdoc just took off his shirt and went into 2D's bed. When 2D was dressed, he climbed in next to Murdoc. Murdoc lit a cigarette, and offered 2D one, which the latter took gratefully.
2D curled up into Murdoc's arms, snuggling until he felt comfortable.
"2D.." Murdoc said quietly, and 2D looked up.
"Yeah, Muds?"
Murdoc took a long drag from his cigarette before continuing.
"You remember that first night I came to you, yeah?" Murdoc asked.
They hadn't spoken about it at all. 2D realized for the first time that he should better keep his mouth shut, and he knew that Murdoc would tell him what had been wrong whenever he was ready.
He nodded curiously.
Murdoc took a deep breath, and looked away, gazing through the window.
"I.. I had a nightmare." He paused. "Well, it wasn't so much a nightmare, it was.. it was different memories.. flashing in my mind. All of my worst memories. All playing after one another, like some kind of sick film.."
2D stared at Murdoc, his cigarette forgotten. The ash trickled onto the blankets. He dared not ask what memories had played through Murdoc's head. He wasn't sure he wanted to know, anyway.
2D brought his hand up to Murdoc's cheek as Murdoc was still staring out of the window, wrapped in his thoughts. As soon as 2D's hand touched Murdoc's cheek, the latter sighed and closed his eyes, leaning into the hand.
"Muds.." he began softly.
Murdoc shook his head. "I shouldn't be fucking doing this. I'm letting myself get too close again," he muttered, but didn't pull away.
2D's chest constricted with guilt, and he pulled away himself.
"You're right. We shouldn't be doing this," he mumbled, standing up.
"I'll sleep on the mattress tonight. Good night," 2D whispered quickly, and turned off the light and crawled under the blanket.
A few minutes of silence passed as they both pretended to be trying to go to sleep.
"Stuart," Murdoc then said softly.
"Yeah?"
A pause.
"Come here."
2D hesitated, then slowly got out of the makeshift bed and crawled under the blankets of his own bed. Murdoc pulled him toward him and wrapped an arm around him, 2D's face nuzzling in the crook of Murdoc's neck.
Murdoc dozed in and out of sleep a few times, but he didn't manage to stay asleep for more than half an hour at a time.
He felt 2D's soft breath on his neck, felt hairs tickle his chin. He pulled him closer gently, burying his lips into 2D's locks of azure blue hair.
He had already forgiven him a long time ago. How could he not? There was just something about 2D that completely altered his logic. How the little dullard managed to cheer him up whatever happened, how he could never stay angry at him. Even though he had hidden it in the past, and still did sometimes, no one could make him happier than 2D could. It scared him, it angered him, it frustrated him, it confused him. Yet at the same time, it made him feel like he was on top of the world, he was happier than he had ever been. And the strength of that out ruled any negative emotions.
He scoffed silently. He couldn't believe he had been acting like he had on Plastic Beach, being so nonchalant about something that meant so much more to him than he'd like to admit. Every time 2D had touched him, he had had to suppress loud moans and shivers and shudders, because Murdoc Niccals just didn't make those sounds during sex.
But then again, sex had never been the same as how it had been with 2D. With 2D there had actually been emotions involved – emotions during sex? - and he had hated it. Ignored every second of it, concentrating on just the shagging.
Look at them now. Lying curled up into each other, being as close to each other as was humanly possible, and he had just talked about his fucking feelings.
"Murdoc?" he suddenly heard quietly. "Are you asleep?"
Murdoc hesitated. "No," he then replied softly.
"What are you thinking about?" 2D whispered.
Murdoc shivered at the breath against his neck.
"What are you thinking about?" Murdoc retorted.
2D paused.
"I was just thinking about how I couldn't get to sleep, and that your neck is nice and soft-"
Murdoc smirked into the darkness. Stupid 2D with his stupid random thoughts.
"And.. and how happy I am that you're letting me do this. And that I don't deserve to. And that I should just disappear because I caused you so much pain and I shouldn't even be touching you."
2D hardly breathed the last few words, and he quickly hid his face, pushing it further into the crook of Murdoc's neck.
Murdoc tried to push 2D away from him, but 2D stayed hidden in Murdoc's neck.
"2D," he said firmly, and managed to push 2D away from him, holding his face and looking at him intensely.
2D was staring at his hands, bowing his head a little, his hair shielding his eyes.
"Stuart. Look at me," Murdoc said, and 2D peered up at him through his hair.
"Stop it. Don't ever talk like that. I've caused you so much pain in your life and you haven't given me shit about anything once. I fucking put you in coma, and when you woke up, you were nicer to me than anyone had ever been before. And you do one thing and I make you feel like this. It's okay," Murdoc said softly, stroking 2D's cheeks.
"But I should never have-" 2D began, but Murdoc silenced him with a quick kiss.
2D went rigid with surprise, and they stared at each other for a moment, panting slightly. Murdoc then edged forward slowly, putting his hand on the back of 2D's neck. 2D flinched backwards a little as Murdoc neared, and Murdoc paused, gazing at him.
2D licked his lips and nervously brought his face closer. Murdoc closed the distance carefully, slowly, and soon their lips were touching again, braver than before, but still nervous.
2D put his hands around Murdoc's neck, and Murdoc pulled him in closer, becoming hungrier. He slowly ran the tip of his tongue along the seam of 2D's lips, and 2D gave a small moan from the back of his throat. He parted his lips desperately, pushing closer to feel Murdoc's tongue explore his mouth. Murdoc ran his tongue along 2D's slowly, teasingly. 2D sucked softly on Murdoc's tongue, causing the latter to growl hungrily.
Suddenly Murdoc pushed 2D down, straddling him. He leaned down, biting softly on 2D's lip. 2D let out a groan and tangled his hands in Murdoc's hair.
Murdoc moved to 2D's jawline, gently biting and licking his way down to 2D's neck. 2D's breaths were coming in shallow gasps and moans. Murdoc roughly teared off 2D's shirt, throwing it aside.
He traced his tongue down the singer's chest, causing him to shiver uncontrollably.
Murdoc looked up at 2D before biting down on his nipple. 2D gave a yelp and quickly covered his mouth with his hand, head falling down on the pillow. Murdoc was pleased he could still remember 2D's weak spots, and he raked his nails along 2D's sides. He quickly pulled off 2D's pajamas and underwear, throwing them on the floor too. Then he pulled off his own, pressing kisses on 2D's chest and stomach.
He looked up at 2D's face again, and shuddered. 2D's eyes half lidded, biting on his lip. His hair was all mussed up and he had his head thrown back against the pillow. The sight of his face alone was enough to drive Murdoc over the edge.
He growled roughly, and positioned himself between 2D's legs. 2D quickly reached down and pulled something out of his drawer, handing it to Murdoc hastily. Murdoc took a quick glance at it, and squeezed the substance on his hand.
He covered his member with it, and he leaned down, capturing 2D's lips. He gently eased 2D's legs open a bit more, and sucked on 2D's lip before breaking away, leaning his forehead against the singer's.
"Ready?" he growled hoarsely, stroking the singer's hair.
2D nodded, pressing his lips against Murdoc's again.
Murdoc slowly eased himself into 2D, and he leaned down, biting into the singer's shoulder to stop himself from giving a shout. It didn't matter how many times they had done it, Murdoc still couldn't get over the pure bliss erupting at his lower stomach every single time.
He paused, giving them both some time to breathe. 2D looked a little uncomfortable, but he knew that wasn't going to be for long since Murdoc knew exactly what to aim for by now.
Sure enough, a few moments later 2D was desperately clamping his hands over his mouth to muffle the loud sounds. Murdoc gave a groan and tried to pull 2D's hands away.
"Don't," he panted. He didn't want either of them to be restraining themselves anymore.
2D let Murdoc take his hands, and the bassist stretched them out above 2D's head. It was putting him in a rather helpless position, but he didn't care. As Murdoc pushed forward again, 2D let out a mixture of a gasp and a yell, and he wrapped his legs around Murdoc's waist, urging him to go deeper.
Murdoc kept murmuring his name into his ear, between the groans and growls of every push. He started to go harder, and it was all 2D could do to not scream out as he was hit again and again with indescribable pleasure and bliss.
Murdoc wouldn't stop moaning now, and hearing the sounds right in his ear made 2D shudder all over.
"Harder.." he moaned, and Murdoc let go of his hands, while his own clutched at 2D's face.
2D's hands searched desperately for somewhere to hold onto for support. Since he couldn't find anything else he settled for Murdoc's hair, pulling him down closer toward him as the pleasure almost became too much while Murdoc pushed into him harder and harder.
The latter started running his hand along 2D's member, and 2D cried out desperately, arching forward while pulling Murdoc down into a hungry kiss.
It became too much. 2D could feel intense burning in his lower stomach, and he broke away from Murdoc with an anticipating gasp.
"Murdoc.." he wailed against the bassist's lips, clutching him tightly and pressing his legs so hard into Murdoc's sides bruises were forming.
It drove Murdoc over the edge, and he moaned loudly as he came in 2D, shuddering and gasping. They waited a few trembling moments as the aftershock passed, then Murdoc slowly rolled off of 2D and lay down next to him, pulling him into an exhausted kiss.
They fell asleep tangled into each other, foreheads touching.
