Chapter 6: Confessions

--..--..--

Noodle lay sobbing on her bed in her room, her only sanctuary from the world outside. She had always been protective of her room. She had nothing to hide, but it was the only place in the entire world where she felt really safe. That’s why she never let anyone in. No matter what was going on in her life, she could always retreat to her sleeping chamber and the pains would go away.

Not this time.

She was still very cross with 2D, though by now (mid-morning the next day) she had calmed down a little bit. Her anger had wandered towards Murdoc and what he was doing to 2D. Almost every day there was a new bruise on her dear friend or he was more visibly in pain. How could he ever even THINK to like someone like that…?

Suddenly, there was soft tapping at her door.

Noodle wiped her eyes with her shirt and took a few deep breaths to prevent her voice from choking should she need to speak. She opened the door to see a pouting 2D.

Overnight, 2D had FINALLY clued in and realized that it was not Murdoc she liked, it was him. He felt very stupid indeed He couldn’t believe that he missed all her signals. He blamed it on his attraction to Murdoc. That attraction had given him tunnel vision.

He said nothing at first. He just made puppy eyes at her. Noodle sighed and then gave him a sincere smile. She could never stay mad at Stu-Pot. And deep down, she knew, she couldn't stay mad at Murdoc' either.

“Come in.” She said. 2D was a little startled. He had seen Noodle’s room before, once when he HAD to sneak in and find something, but never had he been invited in. No one was ever invited in. Even stranger, she led him by the hand to her bed, on which they sat on opposite ends. Noodle at the top, sitting with legs crosses facing 2D and hugging her pillow. 2D sat at the bottom with his long legs hung over the side and hands clasped together in his lap.

“I’m sorry, Noodle. I was very um…what was that word you used last night?” 2D stared off for a minute. He was so cute when he was dumb.

“Baka.” She answered. “Stupid.”

“Ah, yes that one. Well…I thought about it last night and then I finally realized that…”

“I like you.” She finished then hid her face into her pillow. It was so embarrassing to say that out loud.

The young man looked over at her and smiled. She was so adorable when she blushed, which was a rare sight to see since almost nothing embarrassed her. She did live with three very non-shy men after all.

“I meant what I said last night. I do love you and I always will. But, I could never be in a romantic relationship. You’re just too young, not mention you’re like a sister to me.”

Exactly the words Noodle expected but still wished they weren’t true.

“I know.” Came her simple response.

There was a long awkward pause, before Noodle just had to ask 2D about his relationship with Murdoc.

“2D, what do you see in Murdoc? Why are you this fake-relationship with him?”

2D's eyes gazed right into hers. Noodle felt a little bit a shiver. Why was he looking at her like that?

"Well...it's...not really. We're not really involved with each other anymore. Er...or at least he's given me a break." The singer was very, very confused about the whole thing. He wanted more, but he knew he'd never receive it. He couldn't help but stare at Noodle and imagine what she would look like if she were older. She was just too young and innocence to be anyone's lover, in his opinion. He knew that he would be like a bitter untrusting father, always judging her boyfriends and disapproving of them just to keep her innocent. Her body was developing, though it was something that you'd only notice if you were really looking for it. Her hips we becoming wider and her breasts were only just beginning to bud. In a few years, she would grow fully. Noodle, the little girl who came to them in a crate, will grow into a woman that no man would be able to resist.

2D choked back a low feeling in his throat. He didn't want her to grow up and lose her innocence. He couldn't stand the idea of people like Murdoc panting over her....and maybe perhaps Murdoc himself would try seducing her into his bed one day. The thought made him shudder. He leaned forward and brought her closer to him in a tight hug. Noodle blinked in confusion. She had no idea what was going on but suddenly she felt really happy. She squirmed a little until her arms were free enough to hug him back.

They just sat there in each others arms, breathing against each other softly. Noodle was blushingly slightly when 2D began rubbing her back and rubbing his cheek against hers. This was a kind of affection she'd never felt before, but it was nice and comforting. Suddenly, she dipped her face down into the crook of his neck to hide a silly smile that was spreading on her face.

"What's the matter?" 2D grinned. He'd caught the sight of her blushing face and was amused by her efforts to hide it.

"No one's ever touched me like that before." She squeaked out. Her breath on his neck made him shiver involuntarily. He loved that feeling. He hugged her tight again then lifted her chin up to look at him in the eye. He grinned.

"Has anyone ever done this?"

He leaned down and kissed her on the lips. He didn't know why he did it or what even gave him the thought. He was screaming at himself that it should feel wrong, but it didn't. It felt so very right at that moment.

Noodle tensed up and the singer rubbed her back more to relax her. She couldn't believe this was happening! She knew what kisses were, but she'd never had on herself. (Not including the kisses on the cheek she would give and receive.) She was suddenly struck with the realization that she didn't know how to kiss. She tensed more in the fear that she was proving to be an awful kisser.

2D felt a little bit bold, and tugged on her bottom lip until her mouth opened slightly. He used his tongue to make her bottom lip wet before he slipped it into her mouth. After more searching and coaxing, his tongue met hers. But the moment it did, Noodle pulled away.

Did he scare her? He hoped not. 2D's palm touched her face softly, comfortingly. She blushed and tired to turn away. She wasn't afraid of the kiss, it was just too overwhelming.

A loud crash was heard down the hall and a loud bit of cursing came right after. The voice was unmistakably Murdoc's. They both sighed.

"I better go see what happened." He sat up and gave a stretch, exposing his not-so-taut tummy. Noodle giggled and gave it a poke. The singer pouted at her then gave her a smile.

Still as innocent as ever. He ruffled her hair in retaliation then made his way to the door while she was still trying to fix it.

"Will you meet me on the rooftop tonight?" Noodle asked before he exited.

"You betcha, Hun."

When the door closed, Noodle got up and danced around the room. She was just too happy. Things were starting to look better for the future. Perhaps, the way things are is becoming a good thing.

Hold me
Whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on
Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
Nothing's like before

"Oi, Murdoc. What's going on?" 2D eyed all the random bits of equipment all over the floor. Murdoc was grumbling while he was picking them up and tossing them back into the large box.

"Russel wanted me to get these from his room and bring them down into the recording studio. Says he wants to try and fix them or something. But they’re damn heavy!”

2D raised an eyebrow at the casual tone of Murdoc’s voice. Usually he would be raving mad about something like this.

“I’ll help you.” The singer said and helped the bass player fill up the box. Murdoc just nodded. He wasn’t even looking at him. What was going on? 2D was really confused. Usually the bassist would be eyeing him over like fresh meat and trying to touch him all over.

“You alright, Murdoc?”

“What?”

“Something seems a bit off about you.”

Murdoc made an angry looking pout.

“Mind your own business.” He snapped. 2D noticed that Murdoc looked greener than usual and his eyes were pretty red. He was probably either very drunk or very high.

“You look awful, Murdoc. Maybe you should go rest?”

“I said mind your own business, Stuart!” Murdoc snapped again and picked up the box. The bassist stumbled a moment then made his way to the elevator. He must have been very angry if he called the singer by his real name.

2D just watched him. Something must have happened the night before. After the event with Noodle, he’d gone by the Winnebago and noticed Murdoc was not there. It had been completely silent. Even if he was only sleeping you’d know he was there. In the morning, before going to see Noodle, Russel explained that Murdoc had gone out with a curvy woman who had a drug-like odour to her. The singer hadn’t even given it a second thought until now. Murdoc looked really trashed and that made him worry.

Noodle pranced through the halls, still feeling the joy of the morning. It was night now and the hallways were very dark. The lights were broken and everyone was too busy or lazy to fix them. Only the light from the outside made anything visible.

She made her way into the bathroom to wash her hands. Somehow she had gotten a messy substance on it when she pressed her hand against the elevator wall. It was red, but had no odour.

As Noodle was finishing her task, she could hear ragged breathing from the toilets. As if something was panting in pain. She slowly made her way over to see what it was. In the 3rd toilet stall, she saw Murdoc sitting there with his hands gripping his head and almost whimpering like a wounded animal.

“Murdoc?” Her voice cooed softly.

He only gave a twitch in response.

“Murdoc.” she said a bit firmly.

“What?” He growled. Not even moving from his position.

“I heard you whimpering. Are you in pain?” Hesitantly she moved closer and closer until she was almost in the stall with him. Now matter how angry she was at him, she cared for his health. And he looked and sounded very unhealthy at the moment.

“That Bitch gave me some sort of experimental drugs. The shit’s ripping me up from the inside out and giving me a fucking headache.”

Noodle raised an eyebrow.

“...2D?” She asked. 2D was the only person she thought he would call such a name.

“Fuck no. Some girl who called me last night. An ex-girlfriend of an old mate of mine. Wanted to have a good shag but no one else was available. We did some kinky shit.” He told her. Murdoc really had no idea why he was telling her any of this. Perhaps the drugs were rotting his brain even more than he thought.

Noodle placed her hands on his and pulled them away from his face. She then placed the back of her hand on his forehead. It felt very hot.

“Murdoc, you are very ill. You should see a doctor.”

He stood up, nearly knocking her backwards. He shot a glare at her, grumbled, and then wobbly tried making an exit. He collapsed against the hall before he could reach the door.

“Fucking Christ...” He muttered. “I fucking hate that bitch.” His legs could no longer support him body and he slid down the wall. Noodle came and sat next to him.

Seeing him in such a state made all her anger disappear completely. Besides, she couldn’t just leave him like that. She decided to keep him company until he could walk again. She would try and convince him to see a doctor while she was at it.

“I thought...you and 2D were...” She pondered out loud.

“He’s only my sex slave.” He responded. His head was leaned back against the wall, his eyes were closed and he was breathing deeply.

“You’re hurting him, you know. Not just physically but mentally as well. You’re breaking his soul...”

“He came to me first. He made the first moves. I’m only giving him what he wants.”

“He wants more than just sex, Murdoc. He wants you to care about him.”

“Christ, he should already know that I-” He cut himself off with a wince. His head was really beginning to throb, more than even his worst hangovers. He suddenly had more of an appreciation for what 2D went through with his migraines.

He was glad he was cut off. In truth, he was starting to care for the stupid bastard. He wanted to make him happy but he wasn’t into any of the romantic crap. But, he would do anything to keep the singer at the end of his leash. It was nice to have someone who cared about him and not just about his fame.

Noodle smiled. So Murdoc DID care. Her head turned back to Murdoc when she heard him sigh.

“What the fuck do I do to at least give him a hint?” He kept telling himself it was the drugs talking. Though he really knew he was asking because he trusted her advice. In many ways, he trusted her even more than himself.

The guitarist lowered her head in thought.

“Um...well...how do you have...uh...sex with 2D?” She blushed furiously at the thought of them having sex. Thankfully Murdoc wasn’t looking at her at all. His eyes were still closed.

“What do you mean, how do I do it? I shove my cock up his ass, fuck him a while and we're done!”

“No no, I mean what sort of position? And why?” She was so embarrassed now that she hid her face in her hands. She was only bringing it up because she knew it would help 2D's side of things.

He couldn't help but laugh. He could hear the embarrassment in her voice. How cute! He lifted an arm weakly to pull her against him...just to make her even more embarrassed! He was such a naughty boy.

“I usually fuck him from behind. I feel most dominant that way.”

“I see...well...maybe...you can let 2D be on top? Let him take some control...” She stopped herself. Why was she discussing stuff like this with him??!!

He grinned. He didn’t like sharing his dominance with anyone, but he was always in the mood to do something kinky and different from the usual. He got an idea. And oh, what a wicked idea it was.

“Thanks, Luv. I’ll keep at in mind.” He opened his eyes and gave her a grin. A non-cocky grin that she had never seen before but immediately appreciated.

Murdoc wasn’t so bad when you really got to know him. She was starting to see why 2D had fallen for him.

“You should really go see a doctor.” She began insisting again. He sighed and leaned his head back on the wall.

“Yes, I guess you’re right. I can’t get any nookie in this condition, can I? Help me up, Luv.”

She helped pull him to his feet and he used her as a support.

“We’ll get Russel to drive you.” She said as they walked out of the bathroom and into the even darker than before hallways.

“If I’m lucky, maybe I’ll get a sexy female doctor who will prescribe a good round of spanking. I hope she has a nice arse!”

Noodle giggled. Murdoc was the one who needed a good spanking, in her opinion!
