The bassist and the singer ( a 2dace story)

chapter 10 : breaking point

         Finally the whole band after months of hard work and recording for hours was nearly at the finishing line. 2d's passion project of an album was finally going to be released for the whole world to see. The whole band were all set up in the recording studio ready to work on their last song for the now now. 2d would look at the lyrics for souk eye in front of him...it was time to show their fans that he can indeed make his own album without murdoc's input ... .the singer would take a deep breath as he signaled to the others to start playing their instruments as he began to sing his heart out. "LA, why you're so complicated for me, twilight? Waiting on the planet to turn to me, dark side. If loving you's a felony now , then I'm a renegade, riding. Trying to find tomorrow ain't easy 'till you dive in...."

As 2d continued to sing while praying to asgore that his voice doesn't crack again like it did the last few days while attempting to record, Ace was silently struggling to strum his bass with his hand that had been getting all blistered up from overplaying the bass. As Ace forced himself to keep up with the others and 2d he would suddenly grab his hand in agony hissing in pain as some of the blisters on his fingers burst while he strummed his strings. Noodle and Russell would stop quickly noticing how much pain Ace was in as puss leaked from the busted blisters. Noodle despite having a strong stomach would dry heave seeing her friend's busted up hand. Even when she got blisters from her guitar she never allowed them to get that bad. 

      2d wouldn't notice Ace's horrible blisters on his hand as he paused his singing glaring around. He would notice noodle and Russell looking at ace. After months of stress...despite 2d normally being able to deal with stress and repress his agitation and anger...after having the last recording he needed done...being ruined ....he...couldn't control his emotions anymore...all the upset emotions would bubble out of the aggravated singer as he yells out. " WHAT THE HELL ACE?! YOU COULDN'T JUST FINISH ONE LAST RECORDING?! I WANTED TO HAVE THIS BE OVER BUT NO YOU HAD TO DISTRACT NOODLE AND RUSSELL! I JUST WANTED TO FINISH THE ALBUM TODAY! "

The whole fucking recording studio would go dead silent. Everyone's attention would go from ace to 2d in less then a second. Everyone was in pure shock...none of them had ever seen the normally relaxed and calm singer have an outburst like that. Ace despite being unable to control his hand injury would attempt an apology and to explain it to 2d trying to keep a calm tone. " 2d I'm sorry. I should have warned you that I had really bad blistering on my fingers-" 2d's anger seemed to completely blind him as he wouldn't even listen to Ace while yelling out another rather rude statement. " IF YOU WEREN'T WILLING TO DEAL WITH THE STRESS OF BEING IN A BAND THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE NEVER AGREED TO JOIN US ACE! IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE STRESS THEN GET OUT OF THE FUCKING REOCRDING STUDIO! " 

     Ace would frown at hearing 2d putting him down...just like that horrible interviewer...sure it wasn't as upsetting at the interview since chip was an asshole in general...but...coming from 2d...ace not only saw 2d as the leader of the band but...as a friend and a crush to....hearing such an insult from him was...completely soul crushing. Ace wouldn't say a single word as he would put his bass down on its stand and walk out of the recording studio needing some time alone. Despite being a strong man...having a person who he thought he had genuinely made a good relationship with....put him down in mere seconds...had put the bassist in a complete funk emotionally.

As Ace left the recording studio noodle would give her older brother a glare...unlike ace...she wasn't intimidated by her brother's yelling. She would put her guitar down as she walked over to 2d with a stern look on her face. " What the hell stu?! There was no fucking need to treat ace like that! He really ended up hurting his fingers because you've been stressing him the hell out! We record everyday and unlike singing where the most you can do is strain your voice me and ace can really fuck up are fingers when where playing every god damn day! " 2d would look over to noodle ... .his upset emotions still overflowing as he mumbles out. " well maybe you two shouldnt keep it a fucking secret then..."
