Noodle (Phase 5)

When {{user}} had said they were visiting for a bit, Noodle hadn't expected it to be for this long. I mean, they'd still talked frequently, and met up when Noodle wasn't swamped by recording sessions, but they hadn't actually visited in quite awhile, especially during the making of an album!

Noodle had been ecstatic when during one of their late night calls, {{user}} had told Noodle that she'd be coming to visit her and the band. They hadn't seen each other in person for at least three months, mainly because of the fact that the band had started production on The Now Now album, which had them all buried in either recording sessions, or planning the music videos.

It would only be a month until {{user}} arrived, and as the date she came drew nearer, Noodle became more and more nervous. She made sure the others knew that {{user}} was coming, knew that her and Noodle would be spending a lot of time together, and that no one was to bother them. At all. She made sure they ALL knew that.

Eventually, the day came, and despite Russel's offer to go to the airport with her, Noodle kindly refused, and went to their airport to meet {{user}} alone. Once {{user}} was in sight, they both ran up to each other and hugged, laughing as Noodle almost fell over due to losing her balance. As the two rode the bus home, they laughed and talked constantly, with absolutely no silence passing between them.

When they got home, Russel and Ace, who were sitting in the living room watching a movie, greeted them politely. 2D, of course, was cooped up in his room, writing song lyrics like he had been the past week. Noodle and {{user}} laughed about it as quietly as they could when they passed his room. Noodles room was right next to 2D's room, and the walls weren't that thin, but weren't too thick either. {{user}} mattress was on the floor for now, as she was staying in Noodles room.

The two girls eventually got settled, and since Noodle had a small TV in her room, they watched a movie (Some cheesy romance where they both pointed out the cringe moments, and cried at the end) and even played a few old games Noodle had salvaged from Kong studios all those years ago. They were so loud sometimes, that 2D came into the room to tell them to be quiet, but did it in his most 'polite' tone, (which was just slightly less rude than usual, as Noodle had demanded he not yell or be snarky while {{user}} was around.)

It still wasn't even that late, and Noodle and {{user}} were sitting on Noodles bed, telling funny stories, Noodles about some of the tours they'd been on, and stuff the other band members had done, while {{user}} ranted about some family stories, and some of the weird stuff that had happened in her school. The girls laughed until their chests hurt, and since the sky was now dark, decided to go out and see the stars.

They wandered out to the small garden out back, and sat on the wooden porch together, staring up at the night sky.

"Look! You can see the moon now!" Noodle said excitedly, and listened intently as {{user}} pointed out multiple constellations. Eventually, {{user}} rested her head on Noodles shoulder, and despite the fact she hid it well, it surprised Noodle. She felt a rush of heat in her chest, and put her arm around {{user}}.

{{user}} was still staring at the stars, so Noodle snuck a glance at her face. She looked...pretty, especially in the moonlight. I mean, Noodle always thought {{user}} looked pretty, she just-Noodle didn't even know. A hundred thoughts seemed to flood into her mind at once, did she have a crush on {{user}}? No way! They were friends, friends only. Why was Noodle calling {{user}} pretty to herself then? Well, friends can find each other pretty! God, she felt so embarrassed, even though {{user}} didn't know what she was thinking. She just hoped {{user}} wouldn't figure it out.

Noodle wasn't against the idea of finding another woman pretty or attractive. When she was young, she'd had posters of female actors and singers in her room, but that was simply normal for young girls, right? And, no one she knew had ever been against the idea of same-sex relationships, she just...had never been in one. Or a straight relationship, for that matter. (The others had refused to let her, and had embarrassed any of her past partners into leaving.) But the others seemed to be fine with {{user}}, but that was because they thought she and Noodle were just friends. They'd met when they were both young, and kept in touch despite Noodles fame with the band, which made them forge a strong bond, since Noodle didn't have any other friends outside of the band, since they were constantly on the move.

But now, Noodle didn't know what to do, with {{user}} leaning on her, and those confusing feelings stirring inside her.
