Warm air filled up the car you were seated in. Outside the skies became a lightish grey and it continued to get colder. Murdoc's attention was currently focused on the road ahead and nothing else. After Russel drove like a mad man into space, Murdoc has been a little scared of going fast. His knuckles were white from clenching the steering wheel his eyes pinned on the back of the car in-front of you.

     "Mur.. Murdoc?" You whispered quietly hoping not to give him a heart attack.

     "Huh?" His head whipped over to the side to face you.

     "Oh.. nothing I just wanted to break the silence I guess" the corner of your lips turned upwards shyly. Your left hand trailed upwards onto the steering wheel and calmly landing on his hand.  His hand was cold and rough but it slowly started to warm up.

     "I'm sorry luv, really" his face relaxed and for a moment he wasn't scared of driving anymore. You silently treasured this moment before he turned back to the road and seemed to almost shut down.

     You decided to turn on the radio since this wasn't really the best time to talk to him. Turning the dial you couldn't find a good station to listen to. Every month you bugged him about getting a new car something nice and well.. expensive! He had the money but the man was too invested in his antiques. Sure the car worked fine but you always felt that a dial or two would fall off one day.

     As the outside started to get colder and colder the car couldn't keep up anymore. You had tried turning the heat up but it did NOTHING. You tapped on the button forcefully hoping that the car would sense your pain and turn on. Though of course it didn't mostly because it's a sad broken car. Murdoc's right hand left the cold steering wheel and dug underneath your thigh. It laid there trying to retain some heat.

     "Hey! What are you doing?" You grabbed his hand interlocking fingers.

     "I'm cold~" he peered over at you for a second with large puppy dog eyes.

     "I can tell~" you took one of your hands and ran it down his face before lightly pushing it so that his eyes were on the road again. You would have loved to share a cute moment with him, but you honestly were more worried about your safety. You watched as his chest rose and fell lightly as though this driving thing wasn't so hard anymore.

     Once more you tried your luck at the radio. Turning the dial really slowly a familiar tune filled the air. You stopped everything for a second just to awe at the tune.

     It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas..

     Murdoc payed no attention to the song until you snapped out of your trance and begun to sing along. He loved to listen to you sing, if he could make you the lead singer of Gorillaz he would. It wasn't necessarily about power is more about how the fans would react to it. Slowly but surely Murdoc joined in to the fun by humming. The cold broken car all of a sudden didn't feel so empty and cold anymore.

     You turned your head to look out the window and admire the snow. It had fallen so quickly but left such a ton of snow. The flurries had become distant by now and Murdoc had taken a notice to it. The car drifted off to the side and Murdoc parked it on the side of the road.

     "What.. what are you doing?"

     "Cmon get out! It'll be fun!"

     "What?" You sighed and opened the door of the car and slid out. Your feet sunk into the snow, the boots you were wearing becoming soaked. Looking around you noticed Murdoc bending over by a pile of snow. He grabbed at it and tossed it in between his hands. A perfect white ball had been formed relatively instantly. You didn't have time to process anything as it came at you.

     "HAHAHAHAHA" Murdoc lost it he was going to have to much fun.

     You bent down and formed a couple snowballs.

     G A M E  O N

     Pelting the snowballs at Murdoc he fell down into the snow. He didn't move for a couple of seconds, just shocked that you were able to get him. Just then he sprung up from his snowy grave and came at you with more snow. You dodged it well and ran at him full force. Bouncing off the ground and onto his back you wrapped your arms around him. He chuckled trying to push you off into the snow, just to win. Not being able to contain your laughter you laughed too hard and fell off yourself.

     "Oh no! Now that's sad!" Murdoc turned around and looked at you buried in a snow grave. He bent down and playfully checked to see if you were okay. At that moment you jumped up and tackled him to into the snow.

     "You're done now mister!" You giggled bending your head down to kiss him. It was magical and surreal for a few seconds. Murdoc got up slowly and lifted you into his arms.

     "Let's go before you freeze to death luv" he brushed the snow out of your hair and placed you into the car. You snuggled up to the side of the car trying to take in the warm sunlight. With Christmas music filling your hair and the slightly warm sun beating down on you, you drifted away.

     Murdoc looked over at you and smiled, taken aback by your adorableness.
