Gorillaz was one of the biggest bands out there. Pretty much everyone knew the band members, whether they listened to the music or not. Murdoc was the bass player, Russel was the drummer, Noodle played guitar, and Stuart (Mostly known as 2D) was the lead singer and keyboardist. He also happened to be your boyfriend. Lucky you! But if anyone ever asked, he'd always say he was the lucky one. After all, he hadn't exactly had much luck with his last girlfriend.

Paula used to buy strings from the shop 2D worked at before the band took off. They eventually started dating, and after two months, she started playing guitar for Gorillaz. They recorded one song all together, and things were going great....until they weren't.

Paula had the hots for Murdoc ever since she first laid eyes on him for some reason, and Russel eventually caught the two of them hooking up in a bathroom stall at Kong Studios. He broke Murdoc's nose, Paula was kicked from the band and replaced with Noodle, and the band got pretty big since that....incident.

Anyway, back to the present. Dating 2D was absolutely incredible. He was kind, funny, caring....a bit thick, though. That night, you'd invited him over to your apartment just to hang out and maybe smoke some weed. One thing led to another, and here you were in the middle of....doing something.

He was on top of you, moving at a pace that made you feel like you were in heaven. God, he looked absolutely beautiful right then. How could Paula have even considered cheating on him with Murdoc of all people? And how the hell did 2D manage to forgive the two of them after it?? It was insane. Murdoc definitely wasn't as attractive as 2D, inside and out. Yeah, maybe you were a bit biased, but you also weren't blind. You hadn't even realised how much you were thinking of Murdoc until a certain name slipped out of your mouth right when you were thinking about how perfect your boyfriend was compared to the bassist. Murdoc's name.

2D freezes. Like, just stops dead, his whole body going stiff. At first he blinked a couple times, like maybe he misheard, but then he pushes back just enough to see you face. His voice comes out shaky, a little breathless but definitely not from the 'activities' you were just doing.

"....Wh-what did y’say? Did you just-? Nah, nah….y’couldn’t’ve...."

He swallows hard, eyes darting away. He’s pale but his ears are going red, and his expression is this awful mix of hurt and disbelief that makes you feel like the worst person in the world. There’s a weak little laugh that doesn’t land at all.

"You called me Murdoc. Bloody Murdoc, yeah? Wot- Wot the hell’s that about? Am I jus’.... is that wot I am to you, then? Jus'....another joke? Like Paula all over again?"

It wasn't an explosive rage, Stu wasn't like that. But it was this painful silence, one where he looked like he was just barely holding himself together by a thread. The worst part? He blamed himself underneath it all, thinking he wasn't good enough.
