Once Murdoc was sure that 2d was asleep he headed downstairs. He walked past the living room where he saw Russel and Noodle chatting, and then went down to the kitchen to get a beer. When he walked back upstairs the living room was empty. He shrugged it off and started watching tv.

A few minutes passed when he suddenly got a text message. Lifting the phone up he noticed that it was from 2d.

"Hey Mudz. I need to tell you something..."

"I love you"

The bassist thought for a moment before replying.

"Who is this?"

"It's me. 2d."

"No it's not."

Murdoc knew for a fact that it wasn't 2d because he already confessed to him so he would have no reason to do it over text. Not only that- he just put the singer to sleep, so it couldn't possibly be him.

"Yes it is!"

"Noodle?"

"No! It's 2d!"

"Prove it."

"How?"

"Answer one question."

"What promise did I make to you on plastic beach?"

He waited for the reply for about a minute.

"You promised to let me go."

"Wrong."

"Well I'm sorry, I don't remember. But it's me!"

"So if I go upstairs right now I'll see you on your bed with your phone?"

This time there was no reply, only shuffling of feet and the sound of a door being shut. The bassist rolled his eyes and got up. He walked upstairs. The whole house was silent. He walked up to Noodles room. Locked.

"Give 2ds phone back." He demanded.

"I don't have it!" She protested childishly.

"Yes you do! Now hand it over!" Murdoc raised his voice.

"Man, you have no faith in the girl!" It was Russel.

"For fucks sake Russel! I didn't think you'd stoop so low!" Noodle giggled.

"It's just a prank man, relax." He chuckled.

"What's going on?" A sleepy voice asked. Murdoc turned to see the singer walking out of his room, yawning. Murdoc walked up to him.

"2d, where's your phone." He asked dully. The singer stretched his hands up and then placed them around Murdocs neck, hugging him.

"I'm guessing it's not with me, is it?" He was still tired, after all he only slept for about half an hour before being woken up by the yelling.

"Nope." Murdoc hugged him back.

"Good morning." The singer smiled and kissed him on the cheek.

"It's the afternoon dullard." Murdoc sighed and delicately kissed him on the neck. The singer smiled.

"Can you stop whispering?!" Noodle yelled out of her room. "You're too quiet for me to eves drop!"

"Noodle you're not supposed to tell someone that you're eves dropping on their conversation!" Russel muttered. Murdoc and 2d stopped hugging and walked over to the locked door. Murdoc stood directly in front of it while 2d hugged him from behind and placed his chin on his shoulder. "Why do you even care if we have 2ds phone Murdoc? Just mind your business."

"I am." Murdoc reached a hand up and patted the boys blue hair. "I know if you keep it you'll keep spamming me."

Wow. 2d thought. He sounds so aggressive... They would have never suspected that he's able to yell at them and show me affection simultaneously. Honestly, I wouldn't have believed it if I wasn't here myself. He's a good actor. This saddened 2d because it simply meant that Murdoc had to put on a mask around other people, and because of the things he's been through it's hard for him to trust people.

"What did they do anyway?" The singer asked. Murdoc took his phone out and showed him the conversation. 2d blushed.

"Alright. You're giving me no choice." He was speaking to Noodle and Russel. "If you don't give the phone back I will send a dick pic." Murdoc went to google images and typed in "pickle".

"You wouldn't dare to!" There was fear in Russel's voice.

"Ooh! Choose this one!" 2d whispered as he pointed to the phone.

"Try me." Murdocs voice was pure evil. "I'm giving you three seconds to return the phone." He heard Noodle gasp. "3." Silence. "2." He heard slight shuffling. "1..." footsteps abruptly reached the door. "zero." Murdoc pressed send just as the phone was slid under the door. 2d picked it up.

"Thanks for helping me get it back Mudz." He kissed the bassist on the cheek silently so that the other two wouldn't hear. He looked at his phone.

"They fell for it." Murdoc chuckled. 2d smiled. "Wanna go downstairs and grab some dinner?"

"Sure." 2d yawned again. Noodle and Russel stayed in the room, afraid that if they leave Murdoc would yell at them. Then suddenly Noodle made a realisation. She turned to the drummer.

"Russel! I just remembered something very important!!"

"A sleep over challenge?" Murdoc questioned the girl standing in front of him, behind her Russel. The bassist was on the couch with 2d. Noodle nodded.

"You see, we're a band so we have to get along. And you and 2d don't really do that..." she explained.

"You're nicer to him than in Kong." Russel cut in.

"But that won't do. So I had this idea that if you two spend more time together you'll get along better."

"That's stupid." Murdoc commented. "Why bother?"

"Noodle. I think you need to tell them the truth." Russel said. The guitarist sighed.

"The truth is..." she looked at 2d. "Your room has the best wifi and a new season of my favourite series just came out on Netflix so I wanted to spend the night watching."

"Couldn't you just ask me to borrow my room?" The singer asked.

"I wanted to kill two birds with one stone." 2d flinched at the expression.

"Please don't kill birds..." Noodle rolled her eyes and smiled. Murdoc realised that 2d always knew how to lighten the mood.

"So can I borrow it??" She asked.

"Sure." He shrugged. Noodle smiled.

"Thanks!" She took Russel and walked off to the kitchen. She was going to make enough pop corn for the entire night and he was supposed to help her carry it upstairs.

"So Mudz, can I stay with you over night?"

"Of course." The bassist said as he put his arm around his singer who snuggled into him. "But Noodle's going to stay up all night so no fucking. You're too loud." He smirked.

The hours passed and it eventually got dark. When it was time the pair went upstairs to the dark room and cuddled in bed, holding hands while they fell asleep.

Sorry that this chapter is kinda sh*t. I'm too tired honestly.
