You're My Medicine When You're Close To Me

2d got out of there,  tea was not worth it. He took off leaving the cup on the counter and Murdoc.

He scrambled up the stairs and ran into Noodle. "Toochie! Are you ok? You're all red! Russel! Call the doctor!-"

"No! Noodle!"

He grabbed her arm. "I'm fine. Murdoc was just being wierd."

"How wierd? Do I need to beat him up?"

He laughed. "No, hes just being himself. I fink he's just trying to cheer me up."

"Okay. But tell me if he tries anything."

She turned around to Russel's room. "Nevermind Russ.."

2d went into his room and flopped on the bed. He hit his head on the board and cried out. Stars pricked at his vision blinding him. Noodle ran into the room and grabbed him. "2d?!" Blood started to gush out of his nose. He wiped at it. "Just.. hit my head."

"But-"

"Call the doctor if ya.. want. I'm fine.." he closed his eyes and passed out. Noodle flew from the bed screaming like a mad woman.

Murdoc looked up. He could hear Noodle screaming hysterically and jumped out of his seat. These weren't playful screams.

Noodle was sobbing in Russel's arms and pointing to 2d's room her words running together and ending in high wails. "What happened?"

"She said 2d hit his head and his nose started bleeding. Noods calm down while I call the hospital. Please!" His harsh tone snapped her out of her hysterical state and reduced it to sniffling.

Murdoc took a deep breath and entered 2d's room.

He looked asleep outside of him looking sickly white and blood coasting out of his nose soaking his shirt. Murdoc held his hand and searched for a pulse. It was faint.
Russel entered the room talking quietly into the phone and asking Murdoc about 2d's condition.

He snapped the phone shut. "We need to take him right away."

Carefully they loaded 2d in the car and drove off.

Doctors swarmed 2d as soon as they hit the hospital. They started yelling and running around whisking 2d away with them. The three just looked at each other. Noodle looked she aged ten years Murdoc held a stoney look and Russel fidgeted around. They took a seat waiting on results. Noodle kept herself occupied on her phone while the other two chatted quietly.

"He's  fine just a little bump on the head. Blood was just a side affect from the aneurysm. Make sure he drinks plenty of water." The doctor spoke to them and smiled as a nurse pushed 2d in a wheelchair over to them. He was drowsy and hooked up to an IV that was pumping water into him. He nurse pulled it out and out a bandaid over it. She smiled at 2d and walked away.

"So he'll be fine until the operation?"

"Yep just keep an close eye on him to avoid any more bumps. It could affect something worse. With that I wish you a good day."

They spent the afternoon watching movies with 2d and constantly asking him if he was thirsty or hungry but he shrugged it off just asking for a hug which they all at once tried to give him.

"I'm squished." :3
They all apologized and moved to get off him. "I like it. Come back." Once they were just a mass of  tangled arms and legs 2d gave a content sigh. "Wish we could be like this all the time."

"We could if you and Murdoc just got along for once." Noodle glared at Murdoc.

"We'll try." 2d gave Murdoc a knowing look which he blushed and looked away from.
