`` [PHASE 2]

Being a part of the band, Gorillaz, was fine with you. Everyone seemed... somewhat nice for the most part. You had quickly become a full part of the band to the point where it felt like you had been with the others forever.

Until one day.

2D, despite his usual nervous demeanor, had gotten into a heated argument with you. It ended with you snapping and 2D immediately feeling guilty. He tried to fix the broken strings between both of you, but it was no use.

You started ignoring him until the ignoring turned into avoiding, and that transformed into paying no attention to the vocalist at all. All 2D wanted was for you to bat an eye at him... speak to him again.

He missed it until he couldn't bear it anymore. The feeling of your gentleness with him... your smile melted into his vision... your laugh ringing in his ears.

And oh, sweet God, he wanted all of it back.

Now, the current day, Kong Studios was quiet. In the main room, Murdoc was chatting with Russel, Noodle was talking with you in broken English, but 2D was sitting by himself, zoned out deeply. He stared at the ground, as if trying to form some sort of plan to make you see how badly he needed your attention; your affection.
