Beaten And Bruised

Chapter 11

Hello everyone, I just wanted to say I am aware that 2-D's birthday is in May WE ARE JUST GOING TO ACT LIKE IT'S MAY. Also please point out spelling mistakes.

(2-D's POV)

   I woke up, no migraine surprisingly, to see that Murdoc wasn't in bed. I wasn't exactly worried, he's probably just downstairs. I walked downstairs to see him, Russel and Noodle all gathered at the table. They all got quiet as I walked down.

   "Hey, Stu." Murdoc says happily, looking kind of off. All of them looked overly happy. "Hey.. is there breakfast?" I ask, feeling my stomach growl. "Oh, yeah." Murdoc said standing up, I looked over to Noodle and Russel who were whispering to each other. I was given a pancake on a plate with a alcove of butter on it and syrup on top. I thanked him and and we both went up to my room.

   "Hey, Mudz, wha' were you guys talkin' 'bout down there?" I asked as I started eating my pancake. "Oh, you'll find out soon." I was questionable but nodded, it's not like they were all plotting to murder me. Well, at least I hope not.

   "Okay?" I say, but it sounded more like a question. I was really confused. "Guess who's birthday it is tomorrow." I look up, confused. Murdoc's birthday isn't until next month. "Uhh." I accidentally sat out loud, I hope I don't get in trouble for not knowing.

   He laughs at me, and sits next to me on the bed. "It's your birthday, dullard!" He says enthusiastically. I had a moment of realization. My birthday is May 23rd. Tomorrow is May 23rd. I suddenly got really excited. "Tomorrows my birthday!" I chirped. I'm so excited.

   He laughs again and kisses my cheek. "Finish your food, bluebird." He says kindly and goes back downstairs. I finish about three quarters of my pancake and go back downstairs to put my plate in the sink. I got the same treatment as last time, but it didn't bother me as much I mean, it shouldn't last long, should it?

   I headed back upstairs and I saw Murdoc following me. We went into my room and lied down. "When are they going to talk to me again?" I asked, Murdoc just looked at me and smiled. "Soon." He says is with a devilish grin.

   "Since they aren't talking to me what am I supposed to do all day?" I ask. Murdoc just looks at me and smiles. "We can watch TV and play video games." He says kindly, I nod an okay and we go downstairs. He stays in the kitchen and talks to Russel and Noodle for a while before joining me to play video games.

   We were playing mortal combat for a long while until he had enough of my beating him. "I quit, let's just watch TV." He muttered under his breath. I laughed and let him choose what we were going to watch. He put it on a zombie movie and I got really excited. He, of course, laughed at my child like behavior, then kissed my cheek.

I woke up to Murdoc carrying me bridal style to my room. "I guess I fell asleep during the movie?" I said with a small giggle. He chuckled and nodded. He looks really tired. "If you're tired I can walk, I don't mind you know." He shook his head. "I thought I've said 'I like having you in my arms' before." He said, kissing my forehead. I nodded a small okay and snuggled into his chest.

We got into my room and he basically threw me on the bed, making me laugh. He got in next to me and we instantly fell asleep.

I woke up to Murdoc shaking me. "Wake up!" He said laughing a small bit. "Wha', why?" I asked, shoving my face into my pillow. "We are going to get ice cream and go on a birthday date." He said smiling. I instantly shot up and smiled. He laughed and got off of the bed to get dressed, with me following behind him.

He let me wear his iconic grey v-neck and I put on some black skinny jeans along with my grey converse. He wore a black t shirt with dark grey jeans and combat boots and a leather jacket. And can I just say he looked smoking hot.

He wrapped his arm around me and we headed out. Russel and Noodle had gone out to run errands or something. We went to a near by ice cream shop and got one each. I got plain vanilla and he got a sundae.

We walked around and ate our ice cream and found our way to the park. We finished our ice cream and sat on the swings for a while. Seeing him on a swing is so funny because it's almost like he's too badass to be on it but he actually started swinging after a while which made me laugh. He got off so he could push me.

He soon stopped the swing and got in front of me. "Happy birthday baby boy." He said, giving me a small kiss. I smiled and hugged him really tight. This is the best birthday I've had in a while.

   Soon he got a phone call, I think it was Russel. I heard sounds but I couldn't make out the words. "Alright we'll be there." Murdoc said. "Alright, baby, time to go home." I whined a bit but complied. We walked home and were greeted by no one there and the lights off. I was extremely confused considering how fast we had to come home.

   Suddenly the lights came on and all I heard was everyone yell, 'SURPRISE!'

   I looked around. There were blue balloons hung on the walls, there were three presents on the counter, and there was a cake too!

   I felt myself tearing up as I saw Noodle and Russel wearing little party hats that I'm guessing were Noodle's idea. I saw Murdoc grab one and put it on and then he gave one to me to put on.

   They sang happy birthday for me and I actually started crying. Of course Noodle was the best singer but hearing them all made me so happy. "Does Toochie like it?" Noodle asked, hope in her emerald green eyes. I nodded, a tear escaping my eye and a small giggle escaping my mouth.

   They let me cut the cake that said "Happy Birthday 2-D" on it. Everyone got some then they let me open my presents.

   "This one came from Noodle!" Noodle said proudly. I opened it and it was a set of the first season of Tokyo Ghoul I love this series because it kind of reminds me of zombies, but they aren't dead. It kind of sounds like cannibalism but, it's not. She's always wanted an anime to watch with me and this is perfect. She's like my little sister and this was an amazing gift. I hugged her, tightly. "Thanks Noods!" I exclaimed happily.

   "Here's mine." Russel said with a smile giving me a box. I ripped the wrapping paper off and opened the actual box. It was a new small motorcycle, considering my last one got totaled once when I was trying to jump something and didn't make it. I actually jumped with excitement. "Thank you so much, Russ!" I said, jumping up to hug him. He nodded. "No problem. Just don't go trying to jump me. We both know what happens last time.

   Then there was a present from Murdoc. It was in a wrapped up box like Russel's gift. But it was much smaller. I lifted the box onto the counter and opened it. It was a vinyl player. I've always wanted one, and he knew. I collected so many vinyls I wish I could listen to, and now I can!

   I hugged him really tight. And gave him a kiss. Then I heard the click of a camera. I pulled away and saw that Noodle had taken a Polaroid of us. She got out a sharpie pen and wrote "5-23-17 2-D's birthday" on it. I smiled when I saw it. It was just me and Murdoc, wearing silly party hats, kissing.

   The rest of the night we all played video games and watched movies then at about 1am everyone was tired so we all headed up to our rooms. Me and Murdoc couldn't sleep so we listened to vinyls and I got him to dance with me.

   "Today was the best, thank you Mudz." I say, hugging him. "You're welcome baby boy." He says, kissing my forehead.

   We soon fell asleep in each other's arms, smiles resting on our faces.
