Sorry so late, tried to write it without being a total bore. kthx.
2D was having trouble sleeping. Again. He tossed and turned in bed, unable to relax long enough to become drowsy and let himself sink into sleep. The room began getting too hot, he threw his sheets off. Now it was too cold, he sat up to pull them back on. His pillow wasn't supporting his head very well... There was no shortage of discomfort here.
He sat up and thought for a minute Maybe he just needed a drink of water or some warm milk, even. 2D got up from his bed and slipped on some pajama bottoms and some house slippers. He'd head into the kitchen, he thought, and pour himself a tall glass of water or warm milk. Or both. Why not?
He made his way to the kitchen and walked up to the cupboard to take out a glass tumbler. He approached the refrigerator and put the tumbler to the water dispenser. As the water slowly poured into the glass, he idly put his hand into his pocket. There was some sort of pill there. He casually took it out and popped it in his mouth. He chased it with water and stood there for a moment, hoping to feel the effects of having quenched his psychosomatic thirst. A few minutes passed and he decided he would just go ahead and warm some milk up. Wouldn't hurt him anyway.
The microwave stopped with a beep and 2D retrieved its contents. He set it down at the kitchen table and waited a few minutes for it to cool down a little.
2D finished his milk with a satisfied sigh and rinsed out the cup he was using before he walked towards the kitchen entrance. As he walked down the hallways, he noticed an odd sound coming from the direction of the recording studio. He figured it was probably just Russel pouncing on an idea he'd just come up with.
His curiosity got the better of him and he decided to go investigate. He had definitely seen some light coming from the door cracks. Besides, he felt as though he was probably never going to fall asleep so maybe he'd be of some help to Russel.
2D opened the door and was greeted with a generous view of Murdoc bonking some chick at the mixing board. 2D wasn't too phased at the sight, he couldn't count the times he had seen this exact scenario before. Not to mention the numerous times he'd seen Murdoc wandering around the house in the nude. It was par for the course and so 2D thought very little of it.
Murdoc froze almost instantly in his place and stood perfectly still, as though doing this would make him invisible. The woman moved from her position to duck behind the table, a feat that impressed 2D given the apparent difficulty and speed of her movement.
2D shook his head, turned around and left. He shut the door behind him. It was a pretty good giggle, 2D thought, but he could've gone without seeing Murdoc naked one more time. He would have to get Teresa to disinfect that mixing board first thing next morning.
2D decided that he needed to empty his full bladder before he could get back to his room, so he took a little detour to the toilets.
After washing his hands and leaving the bathroom, he saw Teresa hurriedly walking towards her room. 2D greeted her and was about to ask what she was doing up so late but she quickened her pace and slammed the door behind her.
2D shrugged and walked back to his room, he'd ask her later in the day after he'd gotten his sleep.
He reached his room and sat at his bed, thinking a little of his current predicament. He tried to decompress, to mull things over before going to bed. He figured that maybe that what was he needed to do in order to fall asleep.
He thought about what had just happened, how Murdoc seemed to react. He realized that Murdoc wasn't really ever the type to be ashamed or embarrassed about getting caught having sex. If anything, Murdoc would usually continue doing what he was doing and tell him to leave. That look of utter surprise was very odd.
Come to think of it, another odd thing was the feeling of familiarity he had when he saw the woman's naked form. He hadn't been able to catch a glimpse of her face since her hair was all over the place but he'd gotten a good look at the rest of her body. He felt as though he'd seen her somewhere before. Maybe in a girly mag? A raunchy text message? Perhaps a film... he was really straining to remember now.
2D wasn't usually the type to put the pieces together right away but when he did, it usually came with little to no impact to his life. He was the type to take things at face value and his meds usually ensured his blissful ignorance or apathy.
But where HAD he seen her? The question began gnawing at him.
And then it hit him, the answer was becoming glaringly obvious. In fact, the answer had slammed her door at him earlier.
He had just caught Murdoc fucking Teresa in the recording studio.
It was all beginning to make sense, at least the last few months anyway. The fact that Murdoc now seemed to tag along with him and Teresa every time they went out. How Teresa hadn't bothered 2D to set her up with any more of his mates lately. Their petty behavior when it came to either one flirting around with other people.
This epiphany brought up a few more questions as well though. Was this the first time? Were they dating or not? How long exactly had this been going on? Where else had they had sex at?
The questions flooded 2D's mind and he was going to stay up to figure out all the answers! Or at least he would have if that pill hadn't kicked in.
As 2D fought the drowsiness, he tried his hardest to remember what he had just uncovered. Chances were, however, he would probably forget the whole thing tomorrow.
