Chapter Text
Sunshine, sitting in the cool shade of a big tree, enjoying nature, good homemade food.
That was the idea.
Was.
With a frown, 2D flicked away another ant from his ham and cheese sandwich. Bloody bastards.
It was a rather nice day in hindsight. A bright sun covered by lazy clouds hung in the sky, so there was less heat to bare and they were able to go out for once without needing to hide desperately in what little shade where was.
It was Noodle's idea, no surprise as she always had good ones.
They had sat on the couch last night, the television playing the latest episode of "The Walking Dead", when Noodle, her phone in her hand, announced the plan.
"Let's go on a picnic tomorrow, you and me."
He had just kept staring at the TV, too distraught over the latest character death, and nodded absentmindedly.
So now here they were, sitting in the local park, away from everything else (at least as far as they could be), surrounded by bugs trying to steal their precious chomps. Noodle wasn’t particularly annoyed, as she could just pick them straight out of the air and squish them between her fingers, but 2D wasn’t nearly as skilled at the art of bug-slaying as she was.
“I didn’t put all this effort into our food so the stupid bugs can eat it all.”
"Effort from the local deli you mean."
“What are you talking about, I had to hand them my card, it counts."
“Keep telling that yourself,” she grinned.
2D grunted and swatted another fly in Noodle's direction.
It was easier to just send them all her way than just letting them have their way.
She was death in person, which was, especially in situations like these, a definite plus. At least sometimes.
There was one tiny fucker that just wouldn't kick the bucket and kept flying into his face, even attempting to dive into his open mouth several times.
“Fuckers. All of them. I’m outta here.”
He got up from the blanket, annoyed to find that the fly continued to persist, and gave a pitiful expression to Noodle.
"Noodle, why is it still following me?”
Her laugh was normally a source of happiness and joy, but right he could just scowl at her-
It touched his nose.
"Noodle. Help. Please."
He took a step, his foot entangling with the blanket, his abandoned plate went flying and he yelped as he crashed into the guitarist, sending them rolling down the grassy knoll in a heap of limbs.
His head knocked into her shoulder as they fell, his face tucked into her neck. The world slowly steadied itself as they came to a stop.
He wanted to cry.
The fly flew into his ear and he could feel it buzzing throughout his body.
Quickly, 2D looked up, hoping to dislodge the bug.
His eyes met Noodle's and he froze.
Her face was red and her eyes glinting, the tickling in his ear moved to his heart.
She pulled the fucker out of his ear and squashed it.
He loved her so much.
