I Just Wanted To Be Close To You. {2Doc Fanfiction}

Chapter 8

Noodle's POV
It had been so long... where was he... is he okay? Russ had contacted the authorities and they still have no lead. I'm more than upset.

Murdoc's POV
SWEET SATAN! I'D DONE SOMETHING I NEVER THOUGH I'D DO! I KILLED HIM! I ACTUALLY KILLED HIM!
My heart was racing in my chest as I quickly grabbed his thin, broken body. He smelled horrid, but that was all my fault of course. I raced him up the stairs, stumbling a few times. "Stuart!" I shouted, "Please! Please! Stay with me, blue bird..." I sobbed out as I placed him down on my torn up, Leather sofa.
     Sweat trickled from my paled green face as I shook his light body. "C'mon Stuart! This isn't funny!" I panicked, placing two shaking fingers to his cold throat.
     I held my breath as I tried to find a pulse. There...there it is!
He had a pulse! It was slow and weak, but it was there!
     I swallowed weakly, putting my shaking hands to his hollow chest. I began to do chest compressions, "Stu... Please..." I begged, tears and sweat staining my face.
     I used more force, panting weakly. "Don't leave me..." I sobbed, shivering was I hovered above the sickly man.

Stuart's POV
     I let out a gasp, the world coming back to me. My eyes opened wide to look at the green man sobbing above me. He grabbed onto my skeletal body and held me close. "Stu... Oh... Fuck.." he bawled as he held me close to him.
     I shivered and whined out in pain. My entire body ached so badly I could scream. "Ey... You stay right here. I'm fixing you water and a meal. "
     He stood and quickly rushed off to the small kitchen that was connected to the living space. He started to cook, clearly unsure of what he was doing. I just smiled tiredly and closed my eyes. My head throbbed and my entire body quivered from the pain.
I don't know how long I can make it...

Murdoc's POV
     I rushed to fix up a simple meal for my blue-haired beauty. It was nothing extravagant but it would do. I set the meal on the rotting table, pulling up a plastic lawn chair. The meal was a cooked fish, some instant noodles and instant mashed potatoes.
     "Lunch is served, Stu.." I called, walking to him... He looked so peaceful.
     I shook him gently, "Get up.." The food smelled strongly, but anything would do.
     He groaned and sat up, his joints popped and crunched which made me flinch. "Are you alright Stu...?"
That...was the dumbest question I could have possibly asked.

Stuart's POV
     He woke me to feed me... That's the first act of kindness he'd ever shown to me.
      "Yeah... I'm fine..." I sighed as I stood and went to the table to eat.
     He watched me closely, smiling every time I swallowed...
That's pretty creepy.
     I finished up soon enough and downed a plastic water bottle he'd given me. I wasn't too sure where he'd gotten it... But truly it didn't matter. Water is water.
     I licked my lips gently as he took away my dishes and cleaned up the table. "Ya need a shower, mate." he nodded to me as he picked me up.
     I blushed lightly and blinked, "yeah... An' a haircut..."
     He nodded with a chuckle, "yep. Let's start with a shower. We can shave off that ratty beard you've got going on.."
     I sighed and nodded softly, "okay..."
I know I should be mad at him... But I have other things to worry about.. Like getting home to my family /Noodle and Russel/.

Murdoc's POV
     I brought the skeleton of a man to the bathroom, sitting him on the edge of the grimy tub so I could shut the door and help him undress. He looked so fragile and weak... It hurt to look at 'em.
     After he is as nude, I helped him into the shower and he adjusted the temperature of the water. Granted... It was only warm or cold, there was no hot water. My eyes wondered over his thin body as he washed off, I caught myself chewing at my bottom lip as I watched. My heart was racing quickly and I felt my body heat up.
Not now, Murdoc. Maybe later...

     Soon enough he was out of the shower and clean. I helped him dry off and dress in a pair of my boxer shorts and a t-shirt... Those were the only clothes I had that were clean, so I happily gave them to Stu. I got out the razor blade and helped him shave his face. After he looked clean and nice, with a fresh haircut as well... it was becoming dark outside.
     There was no way in hell I was letting him sleep in that basement ever again. I needed to treat him much better. "Stu... you can sleep in my bed. " I offered, I needed to watch him.. just in case.
     He nodded sleepily, yawning out. "Follow me.." I led him upstairs and to my messy bed.
     "Ah... sorry bout the mess..." I rubbed my neck as I walked to straighten it up.
      "A bed is a bed... " Stuart laid down and stretched, moaning out in pleasure which made my cheeks heat.
     "That's... true.." I nod, laying next to him.
     He curled up, holding himself. He fell asleep so fast it left me in shock. Granted... he hadn't slept on a bed in months. I smiled softly as he slept peacefully.
He was so cute...
     I gently pulled him close to my chest, wrapping my arms around him. He quickly held onto me, nuzzling into my chest. He was so eager for affection.. it made me frown. "Rest well, Blue bird..." I purred softly, kissing his head gently.
     My own eyes closed as he snuggled, and I felt myself slowly drift off. I felt so content holding the other man, it was a feeling I'd never felt before.
True love.
