Hey guys... I'm alive *big sigh* it's been... too long... although it's summer break and I've got all the time in the world to write, I just can't find the motivation to, but that doesn't mean I won't finish this story. I'll finish it for you <3 it doesn't matter if barely anyone reads this nowadays, y'all deserve an ending, and that's what I'll give you. So buckle up coz I will do my best to bring this story to it's planned end in the next few updates.

It was a Tuesday like any other, or at least it was supposed to be, but something felt off as Murdoc and 2d walked the school corridors in the morning. The kids were quieter than usual, and more people were staring at them, but the boys wrote it off as paranoia. By the time it was lunch, Murdoc was properly unnerved, while 2d was scared and worried, seeing as the kids in his classes kept looking at him and whispering.

The two of them could finally take a sigh of relief during lunch, when they sat beside each other, in each others arms. Lunch was going by normally, with no sign of Russel and Noodle, when suddenly Gossip Girl burst into the staircase, and that's when they knew that the situation was more serious than they originally thought. She looked a bit panicked, maybe even scared, she had something to say, but the words just refused to come out of her mouth. The boys weren't sure if she was more scared of the situation, or of actually confronting Murdoc.

"What. Is. It." Murdoc finally growled, having had enough of the suspense. His arm was around 2d's shoulder, but he didn't think Gossip Girl would care all that much in this specific moment.

"They know." The girl stammered out, voice shaky.

"What..?" 2d mumbled, confused.

"Who knows? What do they know?" Murdoc demanded.

"The whole school knows." Gossip girl stated, dead serious. "Russel and Noodle sold you out. They told the wrong people that you and Stuart are dating and now everyone knows." 2d gasped.

"Shit." Murdoc mumbled in response. "What did you say in response to this?"

"Nothing. I refused to acknowledge anything until I got official confirmation from you." Gossip Girl admitted. Murdoc stayed quiet for a while, thinking. 2d turned to him.

"Mudz...? What now?" He asked, in a worried tone.

"Fuck it." Murdoc sighed. "Tell them it's true."

"What...?" Gossip Girls eyes widened.

"Tell them it's true." Murdoc continued. "We're dating. And I'm going to break anyone's face who dares come near my 2d." He grunted, now in a rough and aggressive voice. "Who cares if I'm dating a guy? I'm still the king of this school, and 2d's my queen. The school is just going to have to accept lgbt. I'll kill anyone who tries going up against me." Gossip Girl looked at him proudly, a tear almost welling up in her eye, that's the Murdoc she knew, proud and untouchable.

"Got it!" She grinned, her hand almost smacking her forehead in a quick salute. "They'll regret ever thinking anything bad about you!" She squeeled in excitement as she ran out, thinking the school's now open to lgbt! Watch out homophobes!

-

By the end of lunch 2d finally encountered Noodle and Russel.

"Hey!" He greeted them, as happy and cheerful as ever. He was so glad that he didn't have to keep his relationship with Murdoc secret anymore, and he was just so glad to be dating him. So in love with him. "So how about joining that band?" 2d thought he'd try the question again, only now realising that Russel and Noodle weren't in as much of a great mood as he was.

"Sorry, but no..." Russel mumbled, eaten by guilt.

"But-...!" 2d wanted to try again, but was interrupted by Russel.

"D please stop... we're not going to join, this was a bad idea." 2d could clearly see how badly this affected Russel, considering this was their fault. He decided to give them some space and time, as he watched them walk away.

---

News was spread, opinions changed. The king found himself a queen. Both of them still untouchable, Murdoc didn't go soft. He's still a human after all, and maybe he's not that bad? Not a racist homophobic cunt. Accepting and ready to rule the school fairly...? Maybe it won't be so bad? Since the couple became friends Murdoc had been less aggressive, meaning that more students were safe thanks to 2d. But what if 2d goes bad? Develops a sudden lusting for power or lets it all get to his head? Murdoc would do anything for him... so if 2d gets pissed at someone he can order Murdoc to kill that person... and so the students were now scared of the both of them, and decided that staying out of their way and not messing with them would be the best course of action.

---

So now it was the end of the day, and 2d and Murdoc met up in the music room for band practise, just the two of them. When 2d walked in, Murdoc was already there, sitting at his desk. 2d sighed, throwing his bag by Murdoc's desk.

"I'm sorry Mudz." 2d crawled onto the desk, sitting right in front of Murdoc with his legs hanging down. "I talked to Russel and Noodle today, but I couldn't get them to join the band.."

-

In that moment, Russel and Noodle were walking towards the music room with the intentions of apologising to Murdoc because they felt guilty. However they heard the conversation inside, and decided to listen in on it.

-

"Your failure is unacceptable 2d." Murdoc smirked up at 2d, deciding to be cheeky. "I think you've got to be punished since you're so incapable of the simplest tasks..."

"What??" 2d's eyes widened as Murdoc's hand crept up his thigh. Murdoc suddenly stood up and leaned over 2d, still with that menacing smirk, and 2d immediately knew what Murdoc had in mind. "Mudz, we can't." 2d pleaded. "Not here...!" But Murdoc didn't really care about any of that.

"Don't be a wuss, 2d." Murdoc taunted. "With actions come consequences~."

"Murdoc, I'm serious!" 2d huffed. Every time Murdoc got closer, 2d inched away, until he was on the very edge of the desk. One moment of unsteadiness, and 2d ended up falling off the desk, wincing in pain. Murdoc decided to take that to his advantage, seeing as 2d was now laying on his back on the floor. In a split second Murdoc jumped over the desk and climbed over 2d, straddling him and pinning his wrists to the floor. "Mudz, please stop... There are people around!" 2d whined urgently.

"No there aren't." Murdoc snorted. "School's over, no one will hear you screaming~" Murdoc leaned down, about to kiss 2d, when Russel and Noodle abruptly burst into the room.

"What the fuck, Murdoc?! Why are you trying to beat 2d up??" Russel yelled. Both the boys on the floor flinched, 2d was red out of embarrassment.

Russel and Noodle were told by literally everyone that Murdoc is the devil incarnate himself, and that 2d is the victim who has to endure living hell just because Murdoc said so. That's why, in situations like these, it was easier for the two to believe that 2d and Murdoc were getting into a fight. It just made more sense considering the information they had. What didn't make sense, were those odd instances of 2d and Murdoc being lovey dovey towards each other, and Russel and Noodle would have rather written these off as 'rare' instances instead of believing that the two really were this close.

"It's none of your business." Murdoc growled, still holding onto 2d, and it really wasn't. Russel and Noodle had caused Murdoc and 2d a lot of trouble, especially in these past few days, and that's why Murdoc felt that their personal lives, especially their love lives, didn't concern Russel and Noodle. But this just pissed Russel off; he approached Murdoc and pushed his off of 2d, starting the fight. Murdoc, now also pissed, got to his feet immediately, fists up ready to fight. He was sick and tired of Russel and Noodle ruining the mood. "What, you want to fight?!"

"Guys, stop!" 2d scrambled to his feet as well, standing in between the two to try to put some space between them. Noodle observed from the doorway, scared and not knowing what to do.

"Don't get in the way." Russel grunted, pushing 2d a bit too hard and causing him to fall onto the floor. This caused Murdoc to rage.

"DON'T FUCKING TOUCH HIM!" Murdoc suddenly swung at Russel, catching him by surprise and managing to hit him in the eye. This would later form into a black eye, ironic, considering that Russel has white eyes.

"Fuck you." Russel stumbled backwards, and by then 2d managed to stand up again and get in between them.

"STOP IT! JUST STOP IT!" He almost screamed, panicked and not wanting anyone to get hurt anymore. Russel was visibly pissed, but seeing how terrified Noodle was and how horrified 2d was, he decided to be the bigger man and cut the argument short.

"We're leaving." He stated, turning around and heading to the door. Once he got there, he realised 2d wasn't following him and turned around. "2d?" 2d shook his head.

"I'm staying with Mudz."

"What..?" Honestly it wasn't that surprising anymore. It was clear that 2d was scared, and often put in uncomfortable situations, but he was stupidly loyal.

"Murdoc's very important to me, whether you like it or not, and I'm not leaving him." 2d stated, with a somewhat pained expression.

"Just fuck off you two." Murdoc growled at Russel and Noodle, fed up, but 2d gave him a disapproving look.

"Fine." Russel growled back, and they left. Just like that. The room was quiet after that. Murdoc walked up to 2d and hugged him from behind, wedging his face into 2d's neck.

"I promise I'll find us new band members..." He murmured.

---

A week passed, and everyone felt bad. Murdoc was disappointed that these two new band members turned out to be a dud. If Noodle and Russel were no longer willing to associate with them, finding new members would be almost impossible. They were back at the starting point, with literally no one in school being stupid enough to join the band.

2d was disheartened. He just lost two friends, and although the relationship with them was pretty rocky, 2d hadn't had this many friends since Murdoc came into his life. He didn't blame Murdoc for losing them, because he'd always stay beside Murdoc no matter what. Because he loved him. He just had to accept that sometimes things just don't work out.

Russel and Noodle also felt pretty bad, they felt sorry for 2d, and lately it was them starting all the arguments. 2d was a good kid, and they liked spending time with him, liked getting to know him, and even liked seeing him smile when up against Murdoc. They didn't want the friendship to end like this, and they wanted to fix things up, even if it meant having to turn a blind eye to the way Murdoc used 2d.

One day, during lunch, Russel and Noodle mastered up the courage to go to the haunted staircase and talk to Murdoc and 2d. They saw the two cuddling near the stairs, as expected.

"Hey guys." Russel awkwardly rubbed the back of his head, his black eye was healing nicely. The lot hadn't talked to each other since the argument.

"What?" Murdoc reluctantly replied, not really in the mood for a conversation with them. 2d just stayed quiet and nuzzled himself into Murdoc more.

"We're sorry for starting fights." Russel sighed.

"And for telling everyone you're gay." Noodle added.

Although this wasn't the best apology, it was better than nothing, and the two boys decided to accept, under the condition of Russel and Noodle minding their own business and not butting into their lives so much.

Y'know, writing on a laptop is pretty fun. Maybe I just needed a change of scenery? I missed writing so much
