The New Me • 2D x Murdoc

1

Murdoc Niccals, the bass player and leader of the band Gorillaz was here to pick up Stuart Pot, or 2D from the airport.

Stu had been living with his dad back home and had been changing himself; of course not his clothes, but his personality and courage. Sick of the rude and horrible treatment from others.

"'Ello 2D!" Murdoc said with a bright and cheery smile.. Which looked strange for the green, possessed man.

"Sup?" Stu said, with a deeper more aggressive and controlled tone. This startled Murdoc as he knew that he was no longer the dominant in the friendship.

"W-why are you so... Aggressive?"

"Why should you have to know?" 2D rudely remarked.

"Fine." Murdoc said, back in his old, dirty voice.

As they were walking back to the car, 2D realised that Murdoc smelled a lot nicer and looked better kept. He no longer smelt of smoke or liquor, and his skin had become slightly pale again. His hair was not nearly as oily and it had been cut to suit his face better.

They went into the car and Stu turned on the radio to Top 40; Not caring that Murdoc hated this genre of music.

"So... How are you going?" Murdoc questioned.

"Good until you called," 2D said. Murdoc opened his eyes in shock at how he talked back to him.. But he guessed that he DID deserve it.. He did abuse him for twelve whole years.

Last time they met, 2D was permanently shaking with anxiety, taking hundreds of headache pills every week, and very quiet. Now, he was sitting tall, looking as healthy as ever, and still quiet; but very conscious.

Murdoc knew that this wouldn't be the end.
