"MURDOC!!!" 2d yelled out. He was grabbing the bassists hands and squashing them with his thighs in order to stop them from touching his crotch. Murdoc froze; he didn't think the bluenette would wake up, and now he was panicking. "What are you doing?!"

"Uhh..." Murdoc did his best to come up with an excuse, but in that moment his mind went blank.

"I thought we established that the waist was low enough!" 2d was clearly panicking just as much as him. He was terrified at the thought of what the bassist could do to him. 2d was so powerless against Murdoc.

"Y-Yeah, I know." Murdoc stumbled over his words. "I just... I wanted to wake you up!" He suddenly exclaimed.

"What?" 2d seemed to calm down a bit, knowing that Murdoc's intentions weren't sexual, but a pure joke.

"I got bored." Murdoc casually stated. "I wanted to see how long it would take for you to wake up."

"Ugh." 2d rolled his eyes. "Can you take your hands away now?" 2d's grip loosened, but Murdoc's hands didn't move away.

"What? Why?"

"What do you mean 'why'?!" 2d tilted his head to look up at him. "You know it makes me uncomfortable! You promised to take it down a notch!"

"Right..." Murdoc sighed and reluctantly took his hands away. This didn't last long though, because now he wanted to play... "Swiggity swooty..." he mumbled.

"What?"

"...I'm coming for the booty." Murdoc suddenly grabbed 2d's ass. The bluenette gasped and jumped.

"Murdoc!!" The bassist smirked at his reaction. "W-What are you doing?! L-Let go!!" Murdoc started squeezing 2d's ass and caressing it, while his other hand was tightly wrapped around the boy's waist to prevent him from escaping.

"Hmm, I don't feel like it." Murdoc had a smug look on his face.

"Mmgh, s-stop!" 2d struggled against him. He knew that this was just another one of Murdoc's stupid pranks and nothing would actually happen, but it still made him uncomfortable.

"And why would I?" 2d tensed up, thinking hard of a way to get out of this situation.

"M-Murdoc, let go..." He whimpered, but the bassist just continued touching him up. It made 2d shiver. He flinched as Murdoc squished his butt once again, and suddenly had an idea. He remembered that Murdoc thought of him as cute, so he could use that to his advantage... He wedged his face into Murdoc's neck and spoke as innocently as he could. "Mur-Murdoc... let go... p-pretty please...?" 2d then leaned in and delicately kissed Murdoc on the neck. The bassists eyes widened and the groping immediately stopped.

"Ok." Murdoc's hands tied themselves around 2d's chest, trapping him in a hug. The bassist was lightly blushing and slightly speechless at what just happened. 2d sighed and got himself comfortable again. Being friends with Murdoc wasn't that easy...

"So what do you want to talk about?" 2d suddenly spoke up.

"Huh?"

"You said you were bored."

"Yeah, I was bored because I ran out of ideas of what to do. I woke you up so you could suggest something."

"Oh..." The next few seconds passed in silence as neither of them knew what to say or do.

"So..." Murdoc broke the silence with a sigh. "Are you going to tell me why you were so miserable?"

"Uh.." 2d sighed and looked to the side. "I was just in a bad mood..."

"But why though?" Murdoc enquired. "Did something happen?"

"Well... kinda." 2d spoke quietly.

"Are you going to tell me?" Murdoc asked.

"Do you want to know?" The bluenette replied with a question.

"Yes." 2d made a small sound of disappointment. He knew that he was just overreacting about what happened, and that's why he didn't want to say. It was weird.. The fact that Murdoc was there for him, that he cared. 2d sighed again.

"There's this new kid in school..."

"Did he hurt you?"

"No." 2d quickly replied, not wanting to get the kid into trouble. "There was this other kid showing him around school today. When they walked past me the new kid asked about me, you know, I stand out so that's kinda understandable. The other kid explained that he should stay away from me. He said I'm just a target for bullies and have no friends... he said being around me is dangerous, because of you. And that that's also why I have no friends, and most likely never will..." 2d's voice faded out. "It made me sad because it's true..."

"Hey, fuck you." Murdoc suddenly snapped, pissed. "You have me."

"But..."

"No buts! We're friends, you know we are. That kid knows nothing about you, or us. Don't let opinions of peasants get to you. Remember: a wolf doesn't worry about what the sheep think of him." Murdoc tried to cheer him up.

"But... I'm not a wolf... you are... I'm worse than the grass the sheep trample..."

"Shut the fuck up. You're mine, and that means something. It makes you untouchable to literally everyone, just because we're close." 2d sniffed back some tears and leaned back more into Murdoc, who hugged him tighter.

"Thanks Mudz..." 2d smiled weakly, he needed the support. Murdoc's heart skipped a beat. Mudz?? He thought. Oh Satan, he gave me a cute little nickname!! He's too pure, I can't stand it! I want him to be just mine so badly!

"So that new student you told me about," Murdoc decided to change the subject and lighten the mood. "Do you think he can play any instruments?"

"You want him to join the band, don't you?" 2d sighed, not too happy with that idea.

"Of course. Right now it's just you and me, and no one else is willing to join because they all hate me. But that new kid, he didn't hear any of the school rumours yet, so maybe we can get him to join the band."

"I don't know if he plays anything." 2d replied to Murdoc's initial question. "I didn't talk to him after all." The bluenette's voice was emotionless.

"Right... Hey, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." 2d stated, clearly bothered by something.

"Fucking tell me." Murdoc wasn't bothered anymore.

"I just.... I don't know, I..." 2d couldn't think of what to say. He untangled Murdoc's hands from around himself and sat up, looking down. "I don't want to be replaced...."

Hey, I love you~ don't forget, ok? We're all friends here and I don't want anyone to think that we're not. We're all here for the same reason: 2doc.
