A/n: okay so in the first shot Cloud and Mudz was dating, which is how the fanstory goes,  but in this i'm doing a ship switch with him and Rivera, my sister came up with this idea. of course none of the gorillaz are mine, im not Damon Albarn nor am i Jamie Hewlett lmao.


I hastily dialed the number of my home, Kong studios. The bile rising in my throat made me almost choke. I was somewhat afraid of who would pick up the other line, if anyone did at all. "one of these twats had better answer my one phone call or I swear to Satan..." I mumbled angrily. suddenly the other line clicked, and a female's voice answered from the other line, making my heart leap with joy. "Hello you have reached Kong Studios, I'm Riv Bishops, how may I direct your call?" Rivera's voice came through the line crisp as day. "No need to love, I'd rather speak to you Ms. Bishops~" I said, smirking from behind my side of the line. "oh my Satan, Murdoc, you're okay!!" she exclaimed, sounding happy. "that must be a good reaction" I said, leaning back in the chair. "I'm glad to hear your voice, but when you get home I'm going to kill you." she said, I could hear her giggle. "why? what did poor uncle Murdoc do to you luv?" I chuckled. "you left me to take care of two bobble heads who won't stop talking and two others who are so antisocial it made my horns throb." she laughed. "is Dentz giving you a hard time?" I asked her. "you have no idea, now that you're there he's become a self-aggrandizing knob. like you but more subtle." I heard her walking down the hallway, her boots made a distinct clunk. "jeez, well I'll knock some sense into him next time I see the bloke, okay?" i promised her. "don't. it's not worth it. I'm going to visit you tomorrow." she said, sounding proud. "sorry, sugar I have a hearing tomorrow, and It may be about my release." I said. "Niccals! one minute!" shouted the guard. "I have to go love, see you soon~" I said sadly. "O-okay, soon, Pickle man." and she was gone.

"Murdoc Niccals, I find you Not guilty" said the judge, clashing his gavel down with the table. I jumped up and smiled. I went to go pack my bags, not like I had much, and was led out the doors of Wormwood. I was ready to hail a cab when a red and silver motorcycle pulled up to where I stood, the girl on it pulled off her black helmet, revealing Riviera's Blue and black eyed face. "hey stranger, need a ride?" she smiled.  "hell yes, you bad bitch." I said hugging her tightly. I melted into the hug. she rocked back and forth, seemingly relieved. "I missed you." she said, voice soft. "And I missed you too." I said, taking one of the helmets she had. Truth was I loved her, but i would never tell her. she got onto her bike, smiling stupidly. "hop on, Faust." she smiled at me. I obliged, grabbing her waist for support. it was small and soft, the skin felt cottony under her shirt and my fingertips. "You're squeezing me." she chuckled as she drove off down the main street. the ride home was only about 17 minutes long. She hopped off the bike and ripped off her helmet. I followed suit. she led me too the door, grabbing my wrist almost hurriedly. "why are you rushing?" I laughed. she gave me a one eyed stare, her one blue eye brimming with tears. "I missed you." she looked away from me, she was holding something back. "what's wrong love? we should go inside, it's going to rain. why don't you tell me in your room?" I said, leading her in by her waist. she smiled and her face turned a salmon pink. "Aye Murdoc! welcome back!" said Cloud, Riviera's sister. she hugged me and went back to her game, Noodle smiled softly at me and waved. Russel was napping on the couch, his mighty chest fell and rose with each rumbling breath. 2D sat at the table, papers scattered around him, nibbling on the eraser of a chewed up pencil. "Stars cross my mind.. Ugh i can't think. Oh hey Mudz!" he sounded nervous, as always. "Try 'darting blindly in the dark/where you left me behind." Riv chimed in, avoiding, eye contact with him. "those are okay, but you always have this obsession with darkness." He said, biting his lip. "oi, those are decent lyrics, faceache." I snarled, suddenly defensive of Riv. I could hear the song she wanted in my head. "Mudz, it's fine bud. we should head upstairs so i can show you what I wrote while you were in jail." she said hastily, grabbing my wrist and pulling me up to her Lookout. "you're hasty, riv. they're gonna think we're gonna have sex or somethin'" I laughed. Her face turned bright red as she grabbed her guitar, not the bass, but her acoustic guitar. "Listen to this, and prepare to be blown away." she said, poking her tongue between her teeth. "Okay whatever you say Riv." I sat on the window-seat. She began to strum a catchy melody, the guitar played beautifully and filled the room with lively music. Happy yet somber at the same time, her normal style. "I lost my way/ the day you left me on Skullrock Bay/ you called my name/but the words were empty/ and I fell without your light/ lost in the ocean/ but i won't let that be me, no/ even if i have nowhere to go, no/ rise up and fight my way way/ through an army of stone soldiers. call me out/ use my full name~/ carry my soul through/when my legs become lame~/ cause i'm devoted to you/ a robot made flesh and bones/ Mindless to my own will/ my brain no longer functioning it's dead and still/ I'm a zombie with a hearbeat/ chained down to a leather seat/ they call us monsters/ but they don't understand/ lead the way out/ and take my hand." Rivera finished, her one blue eye hopefully looking at me. I felt my face grow hot, and I walked over to her and held her face, smiling. "beautiful as always, my dear." I said, leaning in. She accepted it, not hesitating as we kissed, and i was glad she was my one phone call.


A/N: this was rushed as fuck, I may revise it later, the song is called Skullrock Zombie, By Frog Kid (yours truly)
