Bloody Family Reunions

Chapter One

So I was reading another fanfiction surrounding this very topic and I found it very interesting. Soooo I decided I would toss in my two cents. Oh and this takes place during phase 4 and the band is living in saturnz house, because I believe that's their new base or something...?

Also Noodle and 2D are already a couple in this story.

Disclaimer: I do not own Gorillaz because if I did, 2D and Noodle would be together.

Chapter One
A child with bright blue hair sat in the living room of his uncle's house, swinging his feet against the soft cushions of the chair, watching the newest zombie movie that had come out almost a few months ago.

Yes, Stuart Pot was absolutely mesmerized by the interesting concept of the walking dead. It was one of the few things that didn't make him jump ten feet in the air.

"Well hey there Stu-Pot," an elderly man with a large bald spot said, taking a seat next to the small boy. "Whatcha watching?"

"Sex and Violence," Stuart replied, never taking his eyes away from the television set. His uncle Louis nodded, reclining and managed to drape his arm around Stuart's shoulders.

The two stayed like that for awhile, the only noise was the blood curtailing screams of a woman being eaten by a zombie in the background. That is, until Stuart's uncle placed a hand on his arm.

"You not scared, kiddo?"

Stuart viciously shook his head. "Nah, it's cool!"

The kid's brain was to preoccupied with the movie to see Louis's hand move down to rest on Stuart's hip, bringing him in closer.

"Well I think they're pretty scary," Louis said, brushing his fingers along Stuart's thigh. This caused the small boy to shiver, finally taking note of his uncle's closeness.

"Yeh, I guess..."

2D murmured something along the lines of 'nhuu' before flipping in his bed again, only to fall face first onto the cold floor boards.

"Ugh, damn," 2D slurred, peeling his face of the floor, seeing a few droplets of blood leaking out from his nostrils. He tried to wipe it away on his arm, but only succeeded in smearing the blood along his face.

"Bloody 'ell!"

Throwing on a pair of blue jeans and an old shirt he found lying around on the floor, 2D made his way into the kitchen, bumping against a few things before leaning against a wall.

From his place, 2D could see Noodle sitting at the table eating a few waffles while Russel busied himself around the stove. Both were talking about the restaurant they discovered about a mile down west, all smiles and laughs.

It wasn't until Noodle looked up that 2D realized he had been staring. Taking a napkin to his face, 2D took a seat on the counter, swinging his long legs.

"Ello, luv," he greeted.

Noodle smiled, waving her hand with a mouth full of waffle. Russel smacked 2D upside the head, earning a somewhat girlish squeal from the vocalist.

"What am I. Chop liver."

"Mornin' Russ," 2D managed out, scratching his head. During their little tiff, Noodle strode over, took the napkin from 2D's hands and threw it into the trash.

"Tilt your head back," she ordered softly, taking a napkin to cold water before applying it to his nose while also pinching the bridge it. Smiling when she heard 2D gurgle out a replay, waving his arms around like a lunatic.

"Oh calm down Toochi," Noodle giggled, tilting her glasses up her nose with her arm. "I'm almost done, how did you even get a bloody nose anyway?"

"Knowin' 'D, he probably fell outta his bed," Russel said, standing behind Noodle with a shit eating smirk.

2D could only watch in embarrassment as Noodle seemed to contemplate the very true fact, nodding after what seemed like forever.

"Man, you more danger prone then a child."

Noodle bit her lip, inching closer to inspect 2D's nose and if it was still bleeding. When she could confirm that it wasn't, she threw the wet napkin into the trash and wiped the excess water that had collected around 2D's nose and cheeks off with her fingers.

Meanwhile, Russel crossed his arms and watched 2D's face grow to match the shade of a ripe tomato when Noodle's lips were almost inches from the vocalist's chin.

"All done," Noodle said, patting 2D's cheek before moving to put her dish away and while her back was turned, Russel jabbed 2D in the ribs.

"Fanks luv," the vocalist slurred out, scratching his neck. Noodle smiled in replay.

Suddenly, a clanging noise was heard from the hallway and soon after Murdoc emerged, sleepy eyed and holding a phone.

It took a moment but Murdoc ended up shoving the cordless phone into 2D's clumsy hands.

"For you," Murdoc groaned, stocking into the kitchen for his morning rum, leaving a dumbfounded vocalist.

For a moment, 2D just stared at the phone, wondering who in the world could be calling him, but eventually put it up to his ear.

"Ello?"

"Stuart, why didn't you pick up sooner! Don't you love your mother at all?!"

2D winced. "Wot, no, no I dun'- so why yew callin'"

"Oh don't act like you don't know. Honey, our family reunion is a week from now."

"Yah..."

"And you've missed so many in the past that I refuse to go another reunion without seeing my baby boy."

In the background, 2D could hear both Russel and Murdoc chuckle.

"Erm, mum I-"

"Oh don't you dare make up an excuse to skip out. Now, I expect you to be here at my house by this time tomorrow and if that means bringing that band of yours then so be it. Is that understood."

2D gulped. "Yessh, ma'am."

"Good. Oh I just can't wait to see my big rock star."

2D groaned when the line finally went dead, and rubbed his forehead, feeling a migraine coming on. It wasn't like he didn't want to go to his family reunions, the opposed, in fact. It was just... his uncle was there and 2D had enough functioning brain cells to stay away.

"Toochi, you alright?"

2D jumped when he felt Noodle's soft finger brush against his arm and sighed.

"I 'ave a favur to ask."
