Murdoc gently knocked on Stuarts's door. "De-..Stuart...please let me in. Let me explain." The satanist leaned his forehead against the door hopelessly. He could hear quiet crying coming from the other side. "Stu, please. It wasn't what it looked like."

2D pulled open the door, Murdoc falling forward with it. Stuart caught him as a reflex, but quickly pulled away once he was upright. "S-So it wasn't y-you making out with, A-Ace, huh?" Tears stained the singer's cheeks, his eyes swollen and red.

"No! Of course not! I just woke up like that, Stu. He's trying to get in your head. That's the only reason he did that." Murdoc reached out a gentle hand to touch Stuart's shoulder, but he flinched away. The bassist sighed. "Please...Stuart. You hafta believe me. I wouldn't do that to you. I...I really like you."

2D's breath caught in his throat. Without looking up, he wrapped his arms gently around the satanist's torso. His face buried itself into Murdoc's shirt, which was painful, but the bassist couldn't care less. He held him close, rubbing small circles into his back.

"It's okay, Stu. It's all okay. I won't do anything like that to you. Ever. I'm not gonna hurt you, alright? I need you to believe me." Murdoc looked down at the blunette, tilting his chin upwards to make eye contact with the boy. "Do you trust me?"

A nod was the only answer the satanist got. But it wasn't the truth, and for good reason.
