Pharmacy- A 2D x Reader (Gorillaz) COMPLETED

Just another fan

Blue Boy... He was talking to Josh.

"Seems like another fan trying to start up a conversation." Murdoc grumbled. "Let's go over and break it up, the Dullard doesn't know how to get out of situations like this."

I was still frozen in fear. The blood drained from my face and I could hardly breathe. We only made eye contact for a moment, but it seemed like he didn't notice me.
Blue Boy and him were making their way over to Murdoc and I. I internally yell at myself to flee, but I was so petrified.

"Murdoc Niccals, mastermind behind Gorillaz, it's an honour." Josh says, shaking Mudz's hand.
"Well I wouldn't call myself a mastermind. Not that I don't encourage you to." he said smugly.
Josh looked over to me, wrapping his arms around my waist, catching all three of us off guard.

"So this is where you've been. You know I don't like you hanging out with strangers." he said flirtatiously, but with a controlling undertone.
"Y/n, yew know 'im?" Blue Boy asked, looking puzzled.
I felt sick to my stomach, slowly gaining up the courage to push Josh away, cowardly stepping behind Murdoc as a human shield. I didn't want to lash out on him in public, I knew I wouldn't be able to stop if I started.
Josh grabbed me by the arm, pulling up my sleeve, revealing the bruise he had caused a few days earlier.
"You see this? This shows that you belong to me. This shows that I make the decisions, not you. So I suggest you don't 'decide' to push me away, understand me?" Josh practically snarled at me.
"Hold up..." Murdoc interrupted, stepping between him and I. "You're Josh?" he said, disgust dripping from his tone.
"Hey, Murdoc, c'mon, you of all people should know how it is to be in my shoes. She's just another girl who didn't give me the attention I deserved." he said, practically boasting about his self-proclaimed egotistical opinion.
Before I realised it, Josh was punched square in the nose. But not by Murdoc...

Josh reached to his nose, looking at the blood that now stained his hand. "Why did you do that you bug-eyed freak!?" he yelled, looking up at Blue Boy.
It was a terrifying sight. Blue Boy's face was draped in shadows, eyes sunken, an expression of pure hatred. Something I wasn't used to, because he had always been the cheery one of the group.
"I gave yew wot yew deserved." he stated bluntly, not a single ounce of emotion in his words.
Josh stammered to his feet. "This isn't over. She'll be back, they all come back." he said, walking off.
Blue Boy was about to run after him, but Murdoc pulled him back.
"It's not worth it mate."
Blue Boy didn't answer. He just stared at Josh as he walked off. His eyes softened as they fell upon me.
"Yew okay, luv?"
I nodded, my emotions still churning in my stomach.

"Hey guys, what..." Russel gave Blue Boy one look and stopped dead in his sentence.
"And him?" He questioned. Murdoc patted Blue Boy on the shoulder like a proud father would with his son.
"Faceache here almost killed someone."
Russel gave Murdoc a quizzical look and shook his head.
"We can talk about this at the food court, Noodle is already waiting there for us."
We all agreed and walked in silence, Mudz and Blue Boy giving me the occasional glance. It just made me feel worse. I felt like I had become a liability to the band. I felt like I brought my troubles upon them and that was the last thing I wanted to do. A part of me wanted to rewind back to that night at the pharmacy and just walk home instead of meeting Blue Boy... I wanted to avoid the confrontation, but now that it happened... maybe I was just better off dead.

"...still can't believe I shook hands with that guy." Murdoc said, wiping his hand on his lap. Him and Blue Boy had explained to Russel and Noodle what had happened. I chose to stay silent, picking at the macaroni on the plate with my fork, moving it around in small circles. I wasn't really hungry, but Russel urged me to get something to eat.

"D, you know that wasn't right what you did?" Russel said, looking at him sternly. Blue Boy moved his head to the side, not looking Russel in the eye. "'E said 'e wanted wot 'e deserved..." he mumbled.
"I didn't say you shouldn't have done it." He chuckled, getting a small smile from Blue Boy.

Everything went silent for a while. I looked up and was met by worried gazes. I really didn't want to talk, but I forced a topic of conversation.
"So, what did y'all get?" I said in my best fake normal tone. Russel caught on and chimed, "Well, I bought some hinges. I can finally fix Murdoc's door, but I ain't doing shit until he promises to stop slamming the damn thing." all of us, expect Murdoc, laughed at Russel's comment.
"Me and Toochie looked for records, but I decided to go clothes shopping instead. I got you a few things too, Y/n."
"What, my threads aren't good enough anymore?" I pretend to be offended.
"Well you can only pull off a t-shirt and jeans for so long." Noodle laughed.
"Blue Boy, what did you get?"
"Huh? Oh, nofink, jos' looked around."
"But you have a bag with you." I pointed out, now curious of the content.
"'S nofink..." he said, quickly changing the subject. "Mudz, wot did yew get?"
"A migraine by just sitting next to you." he groaned, making us all laugh.
"Play nice Mudz." Russel warned, as we all delved into our meals once again.
The thought of Josh was still in the back of my mind, and it was clear to see it was still lingering in Blue Boy's thoughts too. I chose to push aside what happened and focus on the present, being around the weird and wacky people that basically adopted me.
Sure, it was a bad experience seeing him again, but maybe sticking around with them was the best choice I had made.
