Mr. Grinch- Murdoc Niccals x Reader

The Tour:

It was about a week after the new album was released. It was Christmas Eve and you would have to go on tour soon.

The Christmas party Noodle had thrown was a total blast. There was beer, Champaign, vodka, any kind of alcoholic beverage(and of course punch for those who didn't drink).

You, however, were upstairs in your room. Out on the balcony, you watched the clouds roll over the moon. Murdoc entered without knocking again, and walked over to you. You were in your costume, but he simply wore a Christmas sweater that you'd knitted for him.

"Hey," He said as he stood next to you," Wanna come down? I spiked the punch bowl."
"No, that's Okay, I think I'll just stay up here." You replied, still gazing at the clouds.

After a few moments of silence, Murdoc became curious.
"What are you looking for?" He asked, squinting at where you were looking.
"Snow." You said," They said it would probably snow tonight. I've never seen snow on Christmas Eve before..."
Murdoc looked over to you.

The music from downstairs could be heard even from the attic, so it was like the stereo was in your room instead.
They began to play "Baby, It's Cold Outside" as Murdoc watched the multicolored lights from the balcony door glinting off your dress and hair. You looked like the prettiest Christmas ornament he'd ever seen. He blushed as you turned to him, tired and slightly disappointed.
"I don't think it'll snow..." You sighed, looking down at your feet.
"Hey Siarra, c-can I ask you s-something?" Murdoc asked, frustrated with himself for stuttering.
"Um... Sure..." You replied quietly, not wanting to seem eager to hear him out.
"Do you... Well, do wanna... D-dance with m-me?" He questioned, catching you off-guard.
Your face turned completely red as he held out his hand.

You nodded, not wanting to disappoint him. He smiled as he took your hand in his and placed his hand on your waist. Your free hand went to his shoulder. He began to move in rhythm to the music as he hummed and swayed you along with him.

You were both so wrapped up in what you were doing that you hardly noticed you'd both started to sing the lyrics:

"The neighbors might think (Baby, it's bad out there)

Say, what's in this drink? (No cab's to be had out there)

I wish I knew how (Your eyes are like starlight now)

To break this spell (I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell)

I ought to say "No, no, no, sir" (Mind if I move in closer?)

At least I'm gonna say that I tried(What's the sense in hurtin' my pride?)

I really can't stay
(Oh baby don't hold out)
Baby it's cold outside..."

You both froze.
"Erm..." He mumbled, unable to tear away from your gaze. You were the one who noticed the mistletoe above you...

As the clock struck midnight, you both closed the gap between you and shared a tender kiss. The first snowflake of that night fell just as you pulled apart.
The flake daintily landed on your nose, causing Murdoc to chuckle as you squeaked at the cold feeling.
He kissed the spot before reconnecting your lips with his.

The tour afterward was nice. On Christmas day, you'd gotten Murdoc a framed picture that you'd taken after your kiss.
His face was buried in your hair, him of course smirking like he usually did, and you were posing all cute like you always did. Murdoc's left hand was wrapped securely around your waist while his right hand was making devil horns. Your cheeks were red, and while people would probably say it was from the cold, it was because of Murdoc. He was blushing a bit as well, but it was just barely visible.

He got you a bass because you'd been telling him how much you'd been wanting to learn. It was a beautiful cobalt blue with a rose sticker pasted onto it. It had your initials stitched in cursive into the black strap that came with it.

He normally never got anyone presents, but he was your new boyfriend, so he wanted to make sure he was the best.

During the tour, he'd shower you with affection and little gifts backstage. That probably would've never happened if you hadn't suggested a Christmas album.
You thought about this as you sang the last song of the album- the one you wrote with Murdoc.
At the end, you all did an outro pose. What shocked you, though, was when Murdoc pulled you flush against his chest and kissed you passionately. The crowd went wild as you kissed back and wrapped your arms around his neck. The rest of the band flipped too.

2-D was screaming with Noodle, while Russel was just staring in disbelief like:

"(Y/N)..." Murdoc said. All the sound in the area washed out as you squeaked out a "huh?"
He smiled sweetly at you as he leaned in and whispered in your ear:
"I love you..."

The End.
