description: russel and noodle are asleep. murdoc and stuart decide to watch an episode of stranger things together before they fall asleep. btw it's not really a movie. it's actually netflix. i couldn't think of a better title.

barb was sitting on the edge of the crystal blue water, contemplating what had just recently happened between her and nancy. was their friendship over? why in hell did she agree to going to this party? it did nothing but give her a bloody gash on her finger and a ruined her relationship [ platonically] with nancy. a small drip of her blood fell from her bandage into the swimming pool. barb watched the crimson liquid dissolve into the chlorine and water.

"no, no, no..." stuart whispered. he held tightly onto murdoc's arm, eyes wide.

the pool lights flickered out. barb heard a deep growl from behind her...

"barb, run!!" stu shouted, jumping up from the couch. his heart was beating fast although he had already watched this episode many times.

"stu, it's okay. calm down. it's just the television. you're going ta wake up russ and noodle if y' keep doin' that." murdoc laughed softly and pulled 2d closer to him. he wrapped his arm around his pale, thin body.

2d took a deep breath. "okay. sorry muh'doc." he smiled affectionately at him. 2d sat lower on the couch so he could rest his head on murdoc's shoulder. he had to do this because murdoc was taller than him.

earlier that night, 2d couldn't seem to fall asleep so he came downstairs to make himself a quick midnight snack. murdoc happened to be there as well for the same reason. they agreed to watch netflix until they were able to fall asleep.

murdoc stared down passionately at younger man. looking into his jet black eyes, he smiled. his pale skin and beautiful blue hair were simply perfect. he desperately wanted to tell him that he loved him very much, but that would ruin his aggressive and hateful reputation.

stuart's eyes became heavy, and he fought with himself to keep them open. eventually he gave up and drifted off to sleep. he began to snore so that murdoc noticed that he wasn't awake.

murdoc turned his head to him. he was an adorable sleeper. deciding to take him to bed so that he would be more comfortable, murdoc stood up and carried stuart bridal style into his bedroom.

murdoc set him down in his bed. "sweet dreams, faceache." murdoc kissed his forehead and fell asleep beside him.

stuart was standing at the cash register waiting for customers to check out items. he picked at the dead skin around his fingers to pass the time.

suddenly stuart heard a deafening screech and the breaking of glass. the other employees ran in different directions and screamed.

"stu, move!!" his boss shouted at him. startled, stuart looked ahead. he saw a glimpse of a car's headlight and after that everything went dark.

"stuart.. stuart...?" said a familiar voice.

slowly opening his eyes, stuart saw murdoc leaning over him. he looked genuinely worried about him.

"stu, you have been whimpering in your sleep. are you aight?" murdoc scratched the back of his neck. "sorry for waking you."

"awh, it's fine muh'doc. it was just dream. y' don't gotta worry 'bout me." the azure haired boy smiled at murdoc who smiled back at him in return. a few moments of silence passed...

"stuart, have i ever told you that i love you?" murdoc asked nervously.

"no, but i'd be fine with y' tellin' me that."

"i love you."

"i love ya too."

they fell back to sleep, cuddling.
