You really are a sight for sore eyes [2dace]

Humble Beginnings

A streak of light shone over the bluenette's face causing him to wake up from his deep slumber. It was roughly 7 am, an unusual time for the him to wake up. So he sat up on his bed for a while staring at the at the blank wall. The bluenette was slowly entering another trance, something that happened a lot ever since Murdoc went to prison. The sound of his alarm clock woke him up. 2d stood up from his bed, put on a white shirt and pranced into the bathroom, forgetting to put some pants on. Once in the bathroom, he brushed his teeth and washed his face, noticing that his eyes were back to their unusual white color, while he was glancing at himself in the mirror.

"Nice boxers ya have there buddy. Love the floral pattern" purred a voice with a smirky tone. It was Ace leaning against the doorway with arms crossed.

"Ah!"

"Sorry, didn't mean to scare ya, the door was open so I assumed the bathroom was vacant."

"O-Oh it's fine, wasn't yer fault." 2d stated with a smile. "I bettah go put on some pants then, huh?"

"Oh yeah. Totally. Oh hey, what happened to your eyes? They were jet black just yesterday right?"

"Well, I guess it changed based on my mood?"

"Oh, that's swell."

The bluenette noticed that Ace had his hair up in a neat ponytail and tied it with what looked like a pink scrunchie. He smelt of pine cones and pineapples, which was surprisingly a nice odor. He was wearing a plain gray shirt and pink boxers.

"So, you wanda aroun' in yeh boxers?" the singer questioned

"Well, only in the morning, what you like what you see?" Ace teased causing the bluenette's face to turn a deep red. The new bassist knew he messed up, he was only joking but he didn't know the singer was going to be embarrassed. He should have known, Stuart was really fragile and sensitive. But suddenly 2d started laughing hysterically. 

"What's so funny buddy?"

"Your boxers are hot pink!" The singer proclaimed while giggled. This was the first time the new bassists had ever seen the bluenette laugh. The sound was music to ears, he needed to hear him laugh more often. They got out of the bathroom and slid downstairs into the kitchen to make themselves some breakfast. As usual, the singer started off his morning with a cup of peppermint tea with two sugar cubes and a drop of condensed milk. Ace however, just made himself a bowl of whatever cereal he could find in this hell of a kitchen. They both took a seat at the kitchen table, slowly finishing their food, when they noticed a little pink sticky note at the edge of the table that was written in what seemed like Noodle's handwriting:

Heya you two!  

Russ and I have gone out to get groceries and stop by the auto shop to give the car a new paint job. We'll be home around 3 pm, so no need to call us for lunch. Toochie, make sure you finish those lyrics, I love them! 

Anyways, hope you two get along! (be nice to each other!)

Love ya, Nu :)

The bluenette wasn't too fond of the idea of him and Ace being alone. He was so cool and he didn't know how to act around him. One wrong move and he'll probably hate him forever and never talk to him again. You see, 2d is liking the idea of Ace. He was particularly funny, nice and pretty good looking. But the bluenette sees himself as weak and as a waste of space so how could anybody like him? 

"Why would he even like me in the first place?" the singer whispered to himself.

"M-what?" Ace said with a mouth full of cereal.
