multi-fandom oneshots ( mostly gorillaz and undertale)

An unusual family ( phase 1)

       ( yey more gorillaz content! as usual these are my comfort versions of the band so if they seem out of character or have non-canon personalities this is why! please enjoy!)

      It had been a couple months that noodle had been in the band. The young girl still was barely learning English as her and the band practiced songs. Sure Noodle was trying her best to learn English but she's only six. Do you really expect a six year old to learn all this new information as quickly as an adult would? Despite the rest of the band not minding her attempts at learning to deal with their temporary language barrier ...she still felt like...she wasn't trying hard enough to learn ...she couldn't even pronounce the band's names yet. She sighed ...sitting on her small bed looking at her dictionary and the hundreds of words in them trying to figure out the simple but difficult for her words typed out onto the off white pages.

As Noodle sat on her bed silently staring at the words she heard Russell call her from downstairs for breakfast. Noodle perked her head up. She always liked russel's cooking . sure 2d and murdoc could do basic cooking but russell had quite the knack for the skill. Noodle quickly jumps off her bed and runs downstairs excited to see what Russell was making today.

Noodle after a minute or so makes it down the long stairs of the studio making it to the kitchen. Seems like 2d and murdoc were still in their rooms. Normally 2d wasn't much of an eater and murdoc really just survived on coffee so it was pretty normal for the two to not be downstairs. Noodle would quickly sit at the dining table doing her best to be patient despite the amazing smells of food coming from the kitchen. Russel would notice noodle and chuckled lightly. " morning noodle. You're getting faster at getting down the stairs kiddo." noodle simply smiled with a nod. Despite not speaking english she was learning rather quickly on what words meant due to some cartoons she has been watching with 2d along with watching him write lyrics. Russel found noodle's little interactions with the band quite wholesome. Even if the kid still couldn't speak english yet you could definitely still see her personality shine through her body language and gestures to the others. 

   After a couple minutes Russell finishes noodle's plate bringing it over and placing it in front of her. Today's breakfast consisted of pancakes covered in fruit and syrup, some bacon, and a fried egg. It all despite being quite a basic breakfast smelt heavenly. Noodle looks at the food in pure bliss. She then looks up at Russell with a smile as a seemingly silent " thank you". Russel seemed to understand noodle's little gesture and smiled back. " you're welcome kiddo. Now you better get to eating before murdoc comes downstairs and tries to steal your food!" Russell playfully jokes to noodle. Noodle gives a determined nod, absolutely not willing to let Murdoc eat her breakfast! She quickly starts chowing down, making Russell laugh a bit as he goes back into the kitchen to get noodle something to drink so the kiddo doesn't accidentally choke while wolfing down her meal.

As noodle munches down her meal murdoc makes his way down the stairs . He yawns as he makes it down, easily being tuckered out by the lengthy stairs. Russell notices the familiar huffing noises from murdoc as he pokes his head out of the kitchen calling out . " There's breakfast if you want some murdoc." murdoc quickly looks up.....debating if he was hungry enough to eat. He then notices noodle eating ...well...today was an off day ... .and...he knows that noodle likes it when he actually eats...he sighed quickly walking into the kitchen and grabbing some food. Definitely not as much as noodle had but enough to keep murdoc full for the whole day pretty much. He also grabs his coffee knowing he's going to need some energy since he needs to edit some music the band recorded last week. 

    Murdoc after a couple minutes makes it to the dining table, sitting down and taking a sip off his hot and bitter dark coffee. Noodle would finish her last piece of pancake before looking at murdoc giving him a smile and wave with her now slightly syrup-covered face and hand. Murdoc sighed giving noodle a slight smile. Even if he didn't fully show his emotions, how could he not smile at noodle's adorable gesture? " morning noodle. " murdoc simply lets out. Noodle would smile as she quickly walks into the kitchen to put her dish away and clean herself up. Murdoc takes the moment of noodle being gone to quickly eat his breakfast, preferring not to waste much time with the task.

Noodle quickly walks back to the table. She had gotten a notebook and pencil from Russell that he had given her to be able to talk to the band through writing since she was getting pretty good at writing in english with 2d and Russell's help. Noodle would quickly write down her message to Murdoc before sliding the notebook to him. Murdoc would quickly look at Noodle's message. " Can you teach me how to play your bass? It's really cool!" murdoc would think about his answer for a moment....he normally was very protective of his bass since it was one of the only possessions of his that he genuinely cared about. 

   After a couple minutes of genuinely thinking murdoc would make his decision quickly questioning noodle. " promise that you'll be careful with the bass kiddo?" noodle rapidly nods as she quickly writes down another message. " I promise! I know it means alot to you!" murdoc sighed......he nodded quickly slurping down the rest of his coffee before getting up to put his dishes away. " I'll meet you upstairs in a couple minutes alright kiddo?" Noodle quickly nodded with a big excited smile as she quickly ran for the stairs. Murdoc gave a slight smile at noodle's excitement....she truly did want to learn.

After a couple minutes murdoc makes it upstairs. Noodle was patiently waiting at his bedroom door full of excitement. Murdoc sighed, opening the door letting noodle in. noodle at this point was used to murdoc's cluttered and messy room. She quickly sits on Murdoc's bed . Murdoc quickly goes to a much less cluttered corner of his room. His bass sat there on its stand being kept away from all the clutter and garbage in the room. Murdoc carefully takes the heavy instrument off its stand and uses the shoulder strap to put it around his neck while he walks to his desk chair sitting on it moving it towards the bed. 

    First murdoc would spend a minute or two tuning his bass making sure it was prepared to be played. He then gently takes the bass and carefully puts the strap around noodle's neck and guides her hands into the correct position. " Alright kiddo do you want to just strum it first? " noodle nodded . she gently glides her hand on the strings a few times strumming it and letting the strings guide her fingers. Murdoc was impressed by how easily noodle got into the beat of simply just strumming the bass. He was gentle but also firm with the weight on her fingers. Murdoc sat in his chair in pure awe as he watched noodle so easily get comfortable with his bass.

After a couple more strums on the bass noodle looked up at murdoc looking at his very impressed expression. She smiled knowing she must have done what he told her to do correctly. Murdoc notices noodle stop and quickly snaps back into reality giving a smile. " You did amazing kiddo. You're a natural at it." noodle continued to smile. She had never seen Murdoc this proud of her ... .sure he told her that she did a good job...but....he truly ... .seemed very proud of her. Noodle suddenly out of happiness would speak her first english words. " thanks mur ... .murdoc. "

You could see murdoc's normally expressionless eyes widen, very surprised by hearing noodle finally speak english. Noodle even seemed to surprise herself looking very excited knowing she was finally able to say something in english! Murdoc gives a genuine smile . " You finally did it noodle!you spoke english!" noodle gently bounces on the bed in pure excitement still being careful with murdoc's bass. 

    After a couple more hours of murdoc and noodle bonding while noodle played his bass noodle would finally go back to her room. She wanted to do one more thing.....now determined to say one more thing in english.....she sits in her room for a couple hours practicing what she wants to say, full of determination to get it right.

After her hours of studying, Noodle finally feels ready to say what she wants to say. She walks to 2d's room and gently knocks on his door. 2d had been in his bedroom all day working on writing some lyrics. He notices the knock over his music and quickly pulls out his ear buds calling out. " Give me a minute!" 2d quickly puts his lyrics to the side and gets up going to the door while putting his pen behind his ear.

2d opens the door to see noodle. He gives a smile. ' Hey there, noodle. Were you worried about me or something?" Noodle shook her head with a smile before she took a deep breath finally speaking. " i w-wanted to tell you...that y-y-you're a c-cool big brother 2-2D!" 2d would lift his head in pure surprise hearing noodle speak english. She had never spoken english in front of 2d...let alone said his name. You could see 2d's eyes shift to white as he smiled quickly hugging noodle. He sighed with a genuine smile as he let out. " you're a cool little sister to noodle....and don't you ever forget that."
