~Murdoc's Point of View~

There were often times where I was upset how I couldn't fall in love. True love at least, as sappy as it sounds. Maybe because I didn't want to feel the pain of falling out of it. Besides, if I was interested in someone I would just screw them and leave, but not this one.

Sitting at the bar while Noodle and Faceache were flailing around on the dance floor they walked in. Wearing a nice and simple devil costume, they looked quite nice in it, but I bet they'd look even better without it on. "Sweet Satan" I muttered once they had sat down next to me I wondered how to make conversation with them. "Murdoc Niccals." I introduced "Y/N L/N." They responded "Say, can I buy you a drink?" They looked at me in confusion before resulting with "That'd be nice." They gave me an amused sort of smirk, this is going to be a fun little game, eh?

Y/N and I had started to become friends over the course of a week. I'd flirt with them and they'd jokingly flirt back, if only they knew I wasn't kidding when I said I wanted to bend them over and have my way the entire night. "What would you say to a nice dinner in my kitchen and dessert in my bedroom?" I asked them while they placed a finger on their chin as if thinking it over "I'll have to pass for today Mudzy, I'm flooded with work." Mudzy, oh how I despised that name unless they were the one saying it.

I knew they didn't see me in that way. For once I didn't want them just for their body, I needed them. I decided I'd do what I could, even if it meant changing myself for Y/N.

I was surprised they hadn't gotten tired of me yet, I couldn't help but ask them every chance I got. I felt sick every time I would, like they'd suddenly just say they didn't like me anymore and leave. Every night I laid awake thinking of just how I could be with Y/N, wondering just what the f*ck I had to do to be with them.

I poorly chopped off my hair, styling it so it at least looked decent and wearing better, but casual, clothes to catch Y/N's eye. The rest of the band noticed my change in behavior, I stopped sleeping around and drank more, smoking less, I got less and less sleep and I just couldn't focus on anything that wasn't Y/N.

I was in what they called a 'depression' I was too upset to focus on my own health, chasing after someone who had no idea if my feelings. I was told to just confess, but I was too scared, for once I was scared.

Noodle had gotten frustrated with how I was being fixed my hair up, and sent me out of the Studio. She said I wasn't allowed back in until I confessed and fixed my mood. I guess she didn't think too far ahead because if I was rejected I might just end up worse.

Sighing I walked around to feed the ducks at the pond by the bench, sitting on the dock, bread in hand. Taking a bite of the slice of bread I ripped pieces off and chucked them at the ducks, hitting one right in the forehead but it just ruffled it's feathers and ate it. A small family of ducks swam by, and my mind went straight to Y/N. I thought to myself what if we had a family? But the thought disappeared as fast as it had arrived once I heard soft footfalls behind me and a body sitting next to mine.

"Hey Mudzy" they said as they grabbed a slice of bread from the entire loaf I had with me. "Hey Y/N?" I pushed out "Hm?" They hummed as their mouth was full of bread "I- uh.. Bass isn't the only thing my fingers are good with." I smacked my hand on my face and tried to clear up what I meant as Y/N laughed. Oh how I love that laugh... "That's a new one" they said but before I could get another word out the ducks had gotten angry with us not feeding them anymore and flew down to steal the entire loaf from between us.

Having succeeded in stealing our bread and leaving us covered in crumbs and feathers I turned back to Y/N "You know I like you right? You're some pop melody that hooked it's way into my head. I wanted- I though I had to change myself for you." I stared at the water beneath me after I got it all out. Feeling a pair of arms wrap around my shoulders and a pair of lips on my cheek. "I love you too Mudzy." They said. "I've never actually flirted until I met you." Y/N chuckled, it seemed like we both thought the same thing about each other.

I pulled them into a kiss, only to be interrupted by those bloody ducks quaking for more food. "Sod off, they're mine" I held Y/N by their shoulders as I glared at the ducks. How childish.

Strangely, I felt at home in this place. In Y/N's arms on a dock in front of angry, impatient, and hungry ducks.

I was finally Home.
