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

15

Noodle was the first one awake pulling the two men out of near comatose and failing around in excitement.

Murdoc groaned groggily and tried to roll over but yanked himself away when he felt Russel's large hand wrap itself around his ankle and start pulling.

The two wore a crooked grin as he got up yawning. He smacked his lips mumbling about coffee making Noodle bound off like she did almost every morning ever since she came into thier care.

Murdoc rolled his neck around and popped it as Russel made the beds and gathered thier stuff.

Noodle came back with two cups of coffee in each hand and a doctor holding an additional two. She put one in Murdoc's hand and sipped on her's as Russel took his from the doctor. "So how's he doing?"

"He made surgery and will make a full recovery. I suggest you go home for the day and come back later tonight to pick him up."

"He's fine?"

"Yes.. he just needs some sleep," he took a drink of his coffee. "You all do. You look like zombies. Go set up a welcome home party, hangout, something. Just get out of my hospital before I ban you from here." He joked pointing a finger at Murdoc as if knowing knowing he was the worst of the bunch.

They thanked him and hauled Murdoc out before he could actually start some trouble and put the child locks on the car as they got him inside the back. He growled and yanked on the door as the other two laughed in relief that he was being normal.
"Let me out!! I gotta say bye to Dentz!! Noodle! Now! I'll take your DS!"

"I don't even play on that thing anymore old man! Gave it to toochie."

Murdoc let out a roar of exasperation and flopped himself on the seats. He stuffed his face into his jacket and wailed into it like a girl who just got dumped. Russel laughed and got in the driver's seat. "Poor baby. You'll see him tonight."

"I can't go home knowing he's here! It won't feel right."

"True, but he'll be home sooner than you think. We'll take you to town to get your mind off it."

Noodle looked at him. "I don't think that's a good idea with the way he's acting."

"I think he needs to terrorize some people for a bit. Haven't done it in forever."

The day whirled and welcomed nightfall much sooner than expected. Murdoc panted for breath, hands on his knees gasping as Noodle and Russel stood in front of him hearing the shouts of an angry storekeeper in the distance. She looked at her phone and put a hand out for Murdoc who took it and trudged to the car.

Murdoc jittered with excitement as they drove making Russel turn around and threaten to hit him if he kicked his seat one more time.

Murdoc scowled and stared out the window nearly flying through it as they pulled into the parking lot.

He forgot the locks and let out a yell as they pretended to leave him there.

He threw his body at the door until Noodle came and let him out.

He ran ahead and practically rolled through the doors as they slid open. "Sup bitches! I want my singer! Let's go!!" Noodle ran and tackled him to the floor as people gasped.

She clamped hand around his mouth which he tried to bite and proceeded use his last resort and licked at it. She grimaced and kept it there.

Russel came in pried each other off and slung the man over his shoulder.

A crew of staff were laughing hysterically at the whole thing and beckoned them over.

The head doctor bemused led them to 2d's room chatting quietly with Noodle who was picking up Murdoc's high and urgency.

The doctor stopped as if recalling something and mumbled. "Oh, I'm sorry. We had him moved to the other wing with recovering patients. Its just straight down this hall and the last door on the left. " they nodded and took off.

They scanned the room for 2d's head of blue hair and cursed remembering he cut it so picked thier way through the room.

A few patients huddled around a piano listening to someone play.

Murdoc squirmed around. "That's him! To the piano!!" The player stopped and turned around.

"Murdoc?"

"Yes! Over here love!"

Russel released him no longer able to keep him still and watched as the two ran to each other. Murdoc went at him full force knocking him over.

"Oof!"

"Oww. Hiya Mudz."

"Shaddup n kiss me ya like ya miss me."

He pulled 2d into a rough kiss oblivious to the room full of people.

Noodle squealed like the fangirl she was jumping around.

2d's nails bit at Murdoc's shoulder which got the opposite reaction he was asking for and whined when something poked him. He pushed Murdoc off and scrambled to his feet before the man could do something they'd all regret seeing and bounded over to Noodle and Russel who pulled him into a hug.

"Let's get you home D."

"M'kay."

"I missed you toochie!"

"But yew saw me last night?"

She laughed and picked him up twirling around with him.

Murdoc put a hand on Noodle's shoulder giving her the stink eye which she took too personally and set him down. Murdoc picked him up liking that 2d immediately wrapped his limbs around him and buried his face in the crook of his neck like a small child.

They retrieved his clothes and promised to get him something that matched his new haircut which he tried to shake off but relented as they persisted.

They piled into the car, Murdoc trying to get him to sit in his lap but 2d swatted at him knowing he was up to no good.

"Yer so mean to me!"he complained as 2d laid down putting his feet in Murdoc's lap instead. Murdoc huffed and obliged rubbing them making 2d hum in pleasure.

They approached the house almost desperate to get him inside and comfortable which he gladly accepted. They argued over whether or not he should go to his room or stay on the couch. He raised his hand like a school kid and told him he'd like to watch a few movies with them. They all nodded in agreement and set the livingroom up for a movie binge while Murdoc made food.
