"Umm, Murdoc?" 2d wearily broke the silence. The bassist quickly glanced at him and then looked back at the road. His hand was still petting the bluenette. Huh.. he thought. I thought 2d would be too petrified to speak in the car.

"Yeah? What is it?"

"Won't we be late to school?" 2d wearily asked.

"No, why?" Murdoc was slightly confused by the question.

"Well.. it's been 5 minutes, shouldn't you maybe start driving now?" Murdoc chuckled at this. "W-What's so funny??" 2d got worried.

"Look up."

"I-I'd rather not..."

"We're already halfway there." Murdoc stated. "Couldn't you feel the car moving?"

"I thought I was imagining it.." 2d mumbled.

"Heh, well it wasn't that bad, was it? My driving, I mean. After all you didn't even notice that we were moving." 2d didn't want to reply, he didn't feel safe.

"Wait a minute.." 2d made a realisation that made his eyes widen. "Does that mean that the whole time you were driving one of your hands was on me??"

"Uh.." I fucked up, didn't I? "Yeah?"

"Both your hands on the steering wheel! Now!!" 2d suddenly burst out. Murdoc flinched, surprised that the bluenette wasn't afraid of yelling at him. He put both his hands on the wheel, not sure how to feel about this situation. "...thank you..."

They spent the rest of their time in the car in silence.

Murdoc pulled into the schools parking lot and turned the engine off. He looked over at the bluenette and poked him in the side, making him flinch and look up angrily.

"We're here." Murdoc said. 2d looked up, kinda surprised that he's still alive. He sighed and sat up, still a bit tense.

"Where's my bag?" He asked, his voice small. He was afraid of talking to Murdoc, it never ended well.

"I threw it onto the back seat." 2d looked behind him, then back at Murdoc. He then reached out a shaky hand and undid his seatbelt. He was afraid, he hated having to turn his back to Murdoc.

2d slowly reached his hand in between the seats, then quickly grabbed the backpack and got back into his seat.

"I'm getting the feeling you're afraid of me." Murdoc duly stated.

"I wonder why..." the bluenette mumbled. Murdoc rolled his eyes and got out of the car, 2d followed. They walked to school without saying a word to each other, 2d's face was still slightly red from crying. People noticed that they got out of the same car and gave them questioning looks. After passing the main entrance the two had to part ways since they had different lessons. 2d was about to walk away when Murdoc stopped him.

"Band practice after school. Don't forget." 2d nodded, and they both walked away in separate directions.

The day passed slowly, 2d was dreading having to go to band practice, but he knew he didn't have a choice. Maybe it won't be that bad? He hoped.

Murdoc sat at the teacher's desk in the music room. School finished 5 minutes ago and he was waiting. This is risky. I have no way of knowing if he'll actually show up.. but maybe if he sees that I trust him, which I don't entirely do, he'll trust me.. Murdoc was snapped out of his thoughts as the door opened. He looked up and raised an eyebrow.

"So you actually came."

"I didn't have a choice, did I?" 2d was clearly not in the best of moods. He walked in and closed the door behind him. He stepped closer to Murdoc. "Agreeing to sing for you was basically like selling my soul to you." 2d walked to the last desk in the first row and put his bag down.

"You got that right." Murdoc smirked. 2d sighed and sat down. "No." Murdoc stated, suddenly looking at him disapprovingly.

"What? Did I do something wrong?" 2d asked, tired of Murdoc's constant complaining.

"Yeah, come here." 2d reluctantly stood up and walked over to the teacher's desk. "Here." Murdoc handed him the notebook with lyrics. 2d looked at him questioningly. "Now go sit over there." He pointed to a seat directly in front of his desk. "You're gonna sing." 2d walked up to the seat and sat on the table.

"Which song?" He asked.

"Let's try the one you sang last time first, I'm going to teach you how it goes." 2d flicked through the pages until he found what he was looking for. He looked up at Murdoc, implying that he was ready.

As Paula walked down the corridor to join her boyfriend and his bully in band practice she heard something new. A voice.

Could it be?? She thought. He actually found someone to sing for him?! She sped up, fuelled by her curiosity. Who in their right mind would agree?? She didn't recognise the voice. Damn, he doesn't sound half bad...

She rushed to the door and pulled it open. She looked inside, but to her surprise only saw Murdoc and 2d looking back at her. 2d was sitting on a table directly in front of Murdoc, he was holding a book and slightly swinging his legs. This behaviour was unusual for him since he preferred to stay away from Murdoc.

"Look who finally showed up." Murdoc appeared to be in an unusually good mood. She looked at him, puzzled, and walked in.

"I heard a voice." She stated. "You found a singer? Where is he?" She looked around.

"Well are you fucking stupid? He's right in front of you." Murdoc barked at her. Paula looked at 2d, then back at Murdoc.

"What?" Murdoc looked at her, thinking.

"Have you never heard your boyfriend sing??" He asked.

"No." She stated, as if it was obvious. He looked at her like she was crazy. "Wait, you mean 2d's the singer?!" Paula was shocked.

"Yeah." Murdoc shrugged. Paula looked at the bluenette.

"Are you fucking stupid?!" Murdoc raised an eyebrow and 2d flinched. "He fucking ruined your life and you go and join his band?! He's never going to stop bullying you if you act like that!! I told you countless times that you should stay away from him!!" She raged.

"I-I'm sorry!" 2d tried to explain himself. "I-I made a mistake, ok? I panicked!"

"Panicked?! You should have said no!!"

"I-I did! B-but..!" Murdoc sighed.

"Lay off of him, will you?" He spoke up. "You're scaring him." Paula looked at him, ready to yell again.

"I'm scaring him?! I wouldn't have to yell if he wasn't so fucking stupid!" Murdoc raised an eyebrow.

"Woah, chill. You shouldn't be saying that about your own boyfriend. Anyway, he didn't want to join, I made him. He didn't have a choice. So stop yelling at him 'coz he did nothing wrong." He's lying. 2d thought. He didn't make me, I agreed. He's taking the blame... Paula growled.

"How could you?!" She took the bait. "Isn't his life miserable enough?!" Murdoc shrugged.

"I don't care, do I?" Paula glared at him. "Now get the fucking guitar and let's start band practice."

Ok. Let's get this whole 2doc thing started... *clicks knuckles with an evil grin* ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
