Hey! This is AskYoSelf and this my first fanfic! I wanted it to be a Gorillaz story because it hardly has any and whatnot. . Well yeah, this a yaoi fic so if you don't like it DON'T READ IT.
Disclaimer: I DON'T own The Gorillaz and even less The Beatles…. T^T
Pairing:Murdocx2D
Warning: Bad language, man loving, beatings, angst, child abuse, and a funny little obsession XD
Summary: After a strange incident Between 2D and Murdoc, Murdoc acts stranger than usual towards 2D. Not knowing the consequences, 2D blindly tries to figure out why and finds out something that will change he course of their entire relationship. But what does a certain Beatles poster and songs have on 2D's perspective?
And now read my pathetic attempt at a story. XD
It was a raining at the headquarters of the Gorillaz's band. After rehearsal, the four had nothing to do since most of their plans were canceled due to the sudden change in weather. Noodle and Russell went to the living room and decided to challenge each other to a fighting game. Murdoc, the lovely Satanist and bassist, went back in his Winnebago for some unknown reason. All that was left was the zombie like and a bit strange 2D. He still hadn't found anything to take up his time. He thought about writing another song but that seemed a bit boring and he wasn't in the mood to do so.
For awhile all the singer did was walk around the building. For the most part he wasn't looking for anything in particular, just killing time. Then he saw the door to the attic. Looking around he decided to walk up the dusty and worn away stairs that led him to what seemed like another world. A world filled with spider webs and enveloped in dust. When he pushed to the door to open a whole layer of dust lifted and the azure haired singer coughed after inhaling. 2D could feel a migraine already forming and he just barely stepped in the dark room.
That's when he had his somewhat brilliant idea! He looked around the small room that was filled with so many antiques and things that had a connection to one of the band members. It was an absolute mess. 2D wouldn't be surprised if he found a dead body up there or something. He ran back downstairs and grabbed a broom and a wet rag. He decided he would kill time by doing something useful- cleaning and arranging the large mess called an attic. Ah yes, what an absolutely brilliant idea. Hell, maybe one of the best he'd have yet. Though we all know that's not true.
Before he left the kitchen he dry swallowed a couple of headache pills. That migraine wouldn't get the best of him and now it wouldn't for sure. On the way back up he stopped to see what the guitarist and the drummer were up to. They were still going at that fighting game with Noodle winning every single round. A bit frustrated, the African American drummer croaked out "Ok, ok. Best outta 10 and if you win this time I'll throw in those $10." A large yet devious grin stretched across Noodle's face as she replied, "Alright Russell-san I'll put in my $10 as well." They both put their money down on the table and began another intense game of what appear to be Tekken. 2D watched like he had been hypnotized by the T.V. screen, almost forgetting what he was doing.
Noodle, after about 10 minutes finally noticed 2D and quickly put the game on pause to ask him a simple question. "Is there something wrong 2D-san?" 2D's head snapped up as a pair of oriental eyes looked straight at two gapping holes called eyes. "Oh nofing love. Jus' spaced out a bit der." Without a further reply he continued up those moldy stairs and back into that dusty little room. He didn't know where to start sweeping as he scratched his head. He found a spot near the back of the room that looked like it had been hit with a dust storm or quite possibly millions of dust bunnies. Many, many dust bunnies. He swept up a large layers of dust off the ground. He swept until he could finally see the wooden floor again and continued on. Who knew such a tiny room could hold so much dust? He practically sneezed the whole way until he decided to open the door, the only ventilation of air.
After about a fair 3 hours the attic floor didn't have a single dust particle on it but the same couldn't be said for the stairs that now lay in mountains of dust. Looks like 2D had forgotten to bring a dust pan and 3 bags to go with it. Whoops. The floor looked nice but there was so many things and boxes in the room that were still buried in dust. 2D decided, since he thought it wouldn't bug any of the other band members, he could see what sort of things were in the boxes. He put the wet rag on a lonely table and lifted one of the boxes and put it on the ground. It was sealed with tape on the top and looked old, forgotten. Not wanting to ruin the box he went into his pocket and pulled out a butterfly knife. He made a neat line in between the tape and opened the box with 2 frail hands.
The box's flaps let out a wave of dust but 2D just brushed it aside. Inside where little devil and demonic looking statues. "Probably Muds' stuff…" he mumbled as he looked at the little things with fascination. Some of them looked brand new and shiny whilst others looked old and somewhat rusted. He put each of them back in carefully. Next he picked up to familiar looking objects. If he had to guess what they were he'd probably say they were teeth. Upon closer inspection he found out they really were teeth. Where had he seen them? He knew he had seen them somewhere but where. He decided to look even closer at them and he realized a horrible truth- those were his 2 front teeth! But what the hell where they doing in this box? He felt his face blush redder than a fire truck. He really did not want to know as he placed the familiar objects shakily into the box trying to forget about them as quickly as possible.
He'll admit that moment was really, really weird but he'd keep it to himself. He felt a bit sneaky but in a good way. He looked up to see 2 smaller boxes behind the larger one he just ventured into. It seemed like someone was trying to hide them behind the big box. They both looked beat up and even older than the larger one. Why would someone want to hide 2 little boxes? Where there a big secret in them? He immediately began to get all these crazy ideas about what could be in those tiny boxes as the curious got the better of him. He looked at the door that remained still and the little ray of artificial light that shined through. He got up and closed the door silently.
He wasn't exactly sure why he had done that of what he was doing was supposedly not wrong but it didn't hurt to be careful. He looked at both the boxes with the same accurate precision he had with his teeth. They both were faded on both their sides there was writing. On one of them it simply said 'Music' and the other one was entitled the name 'Murdoc'. He noticed the writing on the box labeled 'Music' had much neater and cleaner writing than the one labeled 'Murdoc'. In fact, the box called 'Murdoc' had the same writing as the bassist himself. He decided to open the one with the words music on it first. What he saw interested 2D a lot. It had C.D. albums from The Beatles and all this other fan stuff like flyers for their shows and pictures. He rummaged through it a bit more seeing the fab four again and again. Then at the bottom of the box there was this neat looking poster that had all 4 of them on it.
The poster was a little bent but still in good shape. He pulled it out carefully and began to observe it. It had the names Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Star, and John Lennon written right next to their belonging owners. Even though it was a black and white poster it was still quite nice. 2D made the decision to fold it and put it in his pocket. He just didn't want something like that to wither away or be forgotten in this landscape surrounded by dust. Another thing that caught his attention was a disc that wasn't an official Beatles C.D. It was a burned C.D. that was labeled 'The Beatles' in black ink. 2D looked around just to put away his suspicions and stuffed the C.D. in his other pocket.
Ah yes, The Beatles were certainly a great band. He had hear a couple of songs from them when he was younger and they were just brilliant. 2D figured taking 2 items out of this box wouldn't hurt anyone right? It's not like he was going to revolve his life around them….
And that's the intro chapter or whatever! LOL! But yeah, obviously it'll get much better than this but here's a little taste for you guys. :3 As you can tell, I was listening to The Beatles when I was typing this story up and yes, I'm a big fan of their music. XD I'm trying to have 2D speak like 2D and I'll try to real heard to keep the characters in character.
But yes I attempted but please, reviews are more than welcome and constructive criticism is welcome as well. :]
