Ending: part 1

Murdoc and 2d sat on the couch watching tv while Russel and Noodle were upstairs doing whatever. It was the afternoon. The day went by pretty lazily. Murdoc looked down at the bluenette that was cuddled into him; lately he's been realising just how much time they spend with each other.

I don't know what to do. He says he loves me. He's been repeating it over and over. Could it actually be true? I mean, he still hasn't left me despite the abuse and separation. He's really accepting and caring... but would a relationship with him really work? I don't want to lose him, I don't want him to leave. I want to tell him how I feel to make him stay. But will it work? Will I be able to put enough commitment into this relationship to make it work?

"I love you~" 2d suddenly murmured, noticing that Murdoc was looking at him.

"No you don't." Murdoc grumbled, turning back to the tv. 2d seemed offended by this statement and sat up, still holding the bassist's waist.

"Yes I do." He pouted. What's gotten into him? He thought.

"No you don't." Murdoc repeated himself.

"Yes. I. Do." 2d raised his voice. Murdoc glared at him.

"You don't. It's just a phase."

"How is this a phase?!" 2d argued. "I've been in love with you for two years now!" Murdoc didn't reply. 2d sighed. "Why are you suddenly doubting me?" He asked, more delicately.

"It just seems unrealistic. Why would you like me?"

"Love you." 2d corrected him. He smiled. "Murdoc, I'm drawn to you for whatever reason. I love how strong and full of yourself you always are, I feel safe next to you. And I love that you care about me, all those little acts of kindness mean the world to me. I know it's hard for you to understand that someone could actually love you but I do. I love your smile, the way you look at me. Just thinking about you makes me warm inside. It's not just a phase or crush- you can trust me on that. I made sure my feeling were genuine before confessing to you. And I don't care how many times I have to repeat it, my feeling will never change." 2d leaned in and kissed Murdoc on the cheek. The bassist looked away.

"Hmmm... ok." He said, thinking about something. 2d noticed this and his heart sank.

"I really do love you." He once again cuddled into him, showing as much affection as he can.

He seems genuine... Murdoc thought. This can't go on. I need to end this. He looked at the bluenette cuddled into him. Tomorrow...

It was morning. 2d and Noodle sat by the kitchen table eating breakfast. They were talking about dreams and what they meant. Murdoc walked down the stairs holding a piece of paper. He noticed the two happily eating breakfast. 2d looked up at him.

"Hi Mudz~" Murdoc didn't reply, he just walked up to bluenette and raffled his hair. 2d was confused. "Mudz, are you ok?" The bassist remained quiet. 2d looked up at him with his black eyes but Murdoc refused to make eye contact. Instead he just leaned over the singer and slipped the little piece of paper onto the table in front of him and walked away. "Mudz??" 2d was seriously confused by then. He looked at Noodle, she shrugged.

"Hey look." She said, pointing to the piece of paper. 2d picked it up, it was folded in half. He unfolded it and read what it said.

Come up to my room.
We need to talk about our relationship...

2d tilted his head to the side. I wonder what this is about? He stood up and placed the scrap piece of paper on the table again.

"Umm, I'm gonna go now, k?" Noodle nodded. As he walked upstairs she picked up the piece of paper and read it. 'Our relationship'? This might be interesting... She got up, silently following the singer.

2d walked up to Murdoc's door and reached for the handle, but for some reason he hesitated, he could feel that something was wrong. Despite this, he opened the door and walked in. Inside, he saw Murdoc on his bed. He sat there with his head down.

"Hi Mudz... What's wrong?" 2d closed the door and walked up to the bassist. He sat down on the bed beside him. Murdoc sighed and looked up at him.

"...This needs to end..." He finally said.

"W-What do you mean?" 2d could sense the seriousness in his voice and got worried.

"We can't be friends with benefits anymore..."

"B-but! But you said you like me back!" 2d was in shock.

"That's the problem... we can't go on like this." Murdoc looked away. 2d fought back tears that made their way to the brims of his eyes.

"I'm sorry... if it's something I did I'm sorry..." 2d sniffed, his tears finally rolling down. Murdoc looked up at him.

"Don't cry. This needed to end sooner or later." 2d clenched his fists and looked down. He didn't even know what to say anymore, he just stood up and turned to leave the room...

I've got a really unhealthy addiction to 2doc...
