Murdoc x reader [Unaware]

Tourists

You hop into the passenger side beside Murdoc, he begins to drive so you decide it's a good time to check your phone. Oh shit! your phone's dead.

'Hey Murdoc, do you have a charge that'll work for my phone?'

'Um yeah, check the compartment in front of ya'

'Ok, thanks'

You sift through the compartment and find a charger, you plug your phone into the car and it begins charging. You drive for about about a half hour until Murdoc pulls up beside a hilly terrain with a lake and a small town area about a five minute walk away. 

'So, do you wanna know the date plan now?'

'Sure'

'We're gonna walk round the lake, and get some food and check out the town. By the way, we're in Grasmere right now'

You nod in reply, take your phone and money from last night and you both then get out the car and begin to walk round the lake. You see a sign saying the walk will take 30 minutes, which is great as it will be enjoyable and give you time to talk to Murdoc. You start walking, observing the large blue lake housing a variety of swans and ducks, acting as a mirror to show off the sky. The silence isn't awkward, but you decide you should break it.

'So why did you buy the cottage?'

'Partially for nostalgia, partially for the peacefulness and partially for events like this'

'Oh cool, also what were those jet skis at the back of the cottage for?'

'You're very curious huh? and fun' Murdoc replied, You could see he was getting a little annoyed, but you persist.

'Sorry, I have trust issues'

'Don't we all?'

'Do you want me to tell you why? It might make you feel better'

'Okay'

(USE THIS OR ANOTHER TRAUMATIC STORY FROM YOUR LIFE) 'Well, I had a childhood friend- Lacy- when we reached 15, She was stunning and I was an ugly duckling. I knew she would become 'Popular', but I didn't know she'd bully me. She literally verbally tormented me everyday and it became physical, I even ended up in hospital after having the shit kicked out of me one time. That's when she got caught, then it stopped and I was diagnosed with anxiety. And I remember every time she'd do something to me I'd just think to myself, Best friends forever, right?' Your voice began to tremble and your eyes water slightly.

'Oh, Sorry to hear', Murdocs anger was now turned to empathy, you could see that he related to you which made you feel secure, but triggered some tears from you. 'Well, Everyone knows I was abused by my father as a child, but not many people know- Murdoc because to tear up, so you pull him into embrace. 'Not many people know, it wasn't the school dinner lady who took my virginity, it was my dad who raped me when I was nine years old!' Murdoc breaks down into tears on your shoulder, you pull him tighter, and he hugs you back. You both cry for a minute and eventually break your hug.

'Thank you for telling me that Murdoc, I know it was hard'

'You too (f/n), sorry for loosing composure'

'It's okay, I think its's good to cry sometimes'

'Yeah'

Murdoc laughs and you do too in turn. You then take a deep breath and Murdoc's hand and continue your walk. You quickly reach the end of the walk and are now at the little town. You walk through, observing stalls and shops and One stall catches your eye. It has, various jewellery items. But one particular item catches your eye, an organically shaped opal necklace. It gives you an Idea, while Murdoc is looking at a stall ahead of you buying cigarettes you decide to get him a gift, so you consult with the friendly looking man sitting in the stall.

'Hi, sorry, excuse me?' You ask in a friendly tone.

'Hi there?' The stall manager replies.

'Um how much for the opal necklace?'

He observes the necklace, pulls out a small note book from his pocket, scrolls through and eventually finds a page. 'That'll be twenty-five pounds sir/mam'

'Do you do gift wrapping?'

'Yeah'

You hand him twenty-five quid and watch him gift wrap the necklace, you put it in your pocket, thank the man in the stall and catch up with Murdoc. Murdoc's holding two bags and seems to be carried away with shopping.

'Hey' You say giving Murdoc a hug from behind and then turning to face him.

'Hi, You done?'

'Yeah, are you? Cuz it's already sunset the shops close up now.'

'Yeah! So let's get some food, I know a really good Italian place'

'Sounds good'

Murdoc puts his arm round your hip and takes you further down the town to a small, nicely lit restaurant. You enter and walk up to the counter following Murdoc. A tall, lanky man with an awesome moustache is standing behind the counter with a serious expression.

'Aye, you gotta table for two outside?' Asks Murdoc in a cool, aloof manner.

'Do you have a reservation?' Asks the tall man with a heavy Italian accent and an annoyed expression.

'Not but I don't need one'

'Why not?'

'Cuz I know the owner, Gustav told me that I can come here when I want'

'Wait', The man looks confused, 'Are you Murdoc?'

'Yes. Murdoc Niccals, the guy who did the concert here about a month ago... with Gorillaz'

'Oh okay, right this way', The man's expression brightens up.

The tall man picks up some menus, guides up passed crowded tables indoors to an outdoor fenced patio over a large body of water. It's lit by colourful fairy lights and only one of the four tables is occupied. He guides us the the table at the edge of the patio, seats us and hand our menu.

'I'll be back for your orders in five' The lanky guy says.

'Thanks', Murdoc nods and lets the man leave.

Murdoc then pulls out two cigars and a lighter, he places on of the cigars in his mouth and holds the other one out to you.

'Want one?'

'Sure? But what's the special occasion?'

'Meeting you', Murdoc smiles warmly.

You blush and nod, then he lights the cigar and passes it to you, he then lights the one in his mouth and inhales sharply and exhales calmly. You try to do the same as him, but fail and cough. He laughs at you.

'You're cute' He says.

You then slowly savour your cigar to avoid coughing, and look through the menu and decide what you want to order. The evening flies by and next thing you know you're sitting at the back of the cottage with Murdoc enjoying the night sky... You're about to give him his gift... the doorbell rings...
