forgiveness is a choice (wither!2doc)

   It was seemingly just another work day for stu. Today stu was at the register since noodle had helped del already put all the new records out today. He honestly didn't mind any job. After working at a cafe for about seven years he was used to pretty much any job related to stores. As Stu checked out some people he then noticed ... ..a familiar...and not very pleasant face walk in. stu's normally sweet and welcoming smile turned into a slightly annoyed resting face. Definitely not the way he wanted to start off his morning shift.

The person was a woman. She had short black hair, a black short sleeve jean jacket with a dark maroon croc top under it , and matching jean shorts that barely covered anything leaving nothing to anyone's imagination. Her most noticeable features were some black sunglasses balanced on his nose and a red lipstick that she clearly overused. Stu stays silent watching the woman wander around the shop wondering why the hell she would choose to come to cozy!cove. She always referred to cozy!cove as a " quiet useless au". Why would she choose to come to an au that she thinks is useless? 

    After a couple minutes of Paula boredly looking around not seeming to be here to actually buy anything she notices stu. Stu seems to notice this and sighed rolling his eyes. " Why the hell are you here paula?" Paula glared at Stu through her sunglasses giving him a sass filled remark as she puffs the cigarette she was smoking in stu's face. " that isn't very good customer service 2d-" stu seemed to get more aggravated as he bluntly corrects paula. " I no longer go by my band name paula. If you're here to just annoy the hell out of me then just leave. I have work and it doesn't include dealing with you.'' Paula, instead of listening to Stu's warning, decides to anger the normally respectful and kind employee even more. " why the hell would you even work in a dusty and boring place like this anyways 2d? You've really gone fucking down after you caught me with that bassist-" stu seemed to snap at this point. The normally sweeter than molasses man would suddenly leap himself over the register yelling to del in the backroom . " I'M LEAVING EARLY DEL!" Before Stu leaves he glared behind himself at paula giving her a cold as hell warning. " if you don't leave me the hell alone paula cracker i'm calling the fucking cops. "Paula didn't seem the least bit threatened. " oh please 2d first you move to this shit beach town and now you're giving off weak threats. You've truly become softer than that pale skin of yours." that seemed to just be the cherry on top of the shit sandwich for stu. Stu quickly goes through the front door of the shop slamming it hard nearly making the sign fly off the door as he leaves having enough of paula. 

   Del would hear aggression and anger in stu's tone as he slammed the door. Whoever made stu that mad....must be areal piece of fucking work. Del looked to noodle who also had been listening to conversation from the backroom . " You stay here kiddo. Imma go see what got stu so pissed off alright?" noodle simply nodded as del walked out of the backroom. He right away notices Paula who was smoking a cigarette and leaning on his shop window . del could sense that this girl was trouble. He walks over clearing his throat and masking his normally joking and goofy nature to look more intimidating and like a man who would fight you with no hesitation.

Paula notices del. Oh great this must be stu's boss. Paula didn't seem the least bit intimidated as she puffs some of the smoke of her cigarette in Del's direction. " you must be the owner of this dingy and unkept store. " del raised a brow at the girl's cockyness. Oh now he fully understood why stu had such a bad reaction to this girl. Del gives paula an intimidating as hell glare as he towered above her giving a blunt response. " If you're not going to buy anything then i need to ask you to leave the premises ma'am. We don't allow squatters on the property. Especially ones who are messing with are employees-"Paula would rudely cut del off as she puffs an even bigger cloud of smoke in his face. " oh please what are you going to do about it-" that seemed to tick del off cutting off his patience. He would suddenly punch Paula in the nose fracturing it causing blood to go all over her pasty white skin along with knocking her glasses to the ground and cracking the lenses.

 Paula seemed absolutely fucking flabbergasted by del's punch. Del takes the moment of paula being dazed to grab her arm and starts dragging her. Paula's heels lose their grip on the wooden boardwalk as she's dragged out to the beach. Paula felt herself cringe as she felt the hot grainy sand scratch up against her revealed skin . After a couple minutes del stops glaring at paula giving her an intimidating warning. " if I ever catch you on the property again LET ALONE AGITATING STU YOU'RE GOING TO GET MUCH MORE THAN A BROKEN NOSE! " Unlike with Stu's warning, Paula seemed to believe Del much more. She grabs a teleporter from his jacket pocket and quickly leaves back to wither!verse city not wanting to see what else del will do if she tries to verbally fight him more.

Meanwhile stu was finally back at the apartments. He sighed still agitated despite walking the long way home to try to calm his anger. Seeing paula and listening to her horrid comments just ... .ugh it brought up the worst memories of the band . As Stu took a moment to pop a cigarette in his mouth and lean next to his porch trying to mentally help his mind, Murdoc would notice Stu's behavior. Murdoc was just coming out of the laundry room with his tools and with his clothes covered in gross old water from the washing machine that he just fixed. He could tell that something wasn't right with stu. Murdoc walks to his porch dropping off his supplies before he heads to check on stu. 

    While Stu leaned on the porch he notices Murdoc coming over. He tries to at first mask his aggravated expression but murdoc stops him giving a sigh. " stu what happened? Normally I'm the grumpy one in the apartments, not you. " Stu at first hesitated not really wanting to bring paula up...but...it was better to let out his anger then keeping it built up inside of him. He sighed, taking a big puff of his cigarette. " my....ex-girlfriend came over to my work today and decided ... .to annoy me...i think she was trying to get me to fight with her...i had to force myself to leave because she was getting on my last nerves.."

Murdoc would silently listen to Stu as he lights his own cigarette, taking a puff before responding to stu. " She sounds like a bitch. No wonder you seem so pissed off. " murdoc's blunt comment would give stu a slight chuckle as he nods. " believe me she's . i don;t honestly know why she even came here. She hated this place due to how quiet it's. Kinda ironic that I moved here for the quiet huh?" murdoc sighed with a slight shrug . " Well some of us like quiet and calm places and some of us like the loudness and the freak show that people call a city." murdoc and stu would slightly snicker at murdoc's comment. Despite Murdoc only being around for a couple minutes stu was already in better spirits. Murdoc truly knew how to make him feel better. 

  As the two finished their cigarettes, Stu sighed, getting an idea. " Do you want a beer murdoc? I have some cheap beer I bought a couple days ago." murdoc would nod as he felt his back pop while he stopped leaning on the porch. " sure stu. "Stu nodded as he opened the apartment door letting Murdoc in before he followed

The two after grabbing about four bottles of beer each sit down on the sofa together. Stu turns on a season of the walking dead letting the show run as he and Murdoc get drunk together. Both would randomly ramble to each other. Not about anything particular. Just rambling about life and such.

After about a couple hours or so the two where pretty fucking wasted. Stu at this point was absolutely fading in his seat staring at the tv screen and trying to stay awake but failing to do so as he doses off and on. Murdoc, who wasn't as drunk would notice this deciding to help stu rest. Murdoc would look to stu as he puts one of the couch pillows in his own lap sighing. " Come lay your head over here, stu. You don't need to try to stay up." normally stu would try to bicker with murdoc about this but stu was way too wasted to deny it. He would gently lay his lanky self onto the sofa before gently placing his head on the pillow in Murdoc's lap, falling asleep shortly after doing so. Murdoc sighed gently brushing Stu's blue hair out of his face as he gently snored. " you're a stubborn ass sometimes stu...but...that's one of your loveable traits." After a couple more minutes Murdoc falls asleep completely comfortable with his good friend.
