UNTOLD FEELINGS
My first Morby story is back. I've decided to fix some errors and polish up so it can be an average story for people to read. This story was the story that really...began my shippage of these two cute cartoonish animals.
I hope you all enjoy reading, and I hope all of the people who read this before, enjoy reading it again.
Saturday 3:21AM
Rain pelted against the window of a small house in the centre of a large park. Inside the house, lived two friends, by the names of Mordecai and Rigby. Mordecai was a blue-jay, while Rigby was a brown raccoon. The blue jay was sleeping on a relatively comfortable bed, while the raccoon was resting on an extremely uncomfortable trampoline, that was littered with dirty clothes that he'd never worn.
Though Rigby never seemed to mind sleeping on there, his friends and colleagues found it quite odd. However, nobody questioned why he'd been sleeping on there.
Rigby laid awake and stared at the ceiling. He had a lot of things on his mind, these things included his job at the park, and how his life was going.
He knew that his parents wouldn't be impressed with him being a groundskeeper, but Rigby didn't care what they thought. He pushed those thoughts away and focused on what he thought mattered the most; his best friend.
His best friend being the blue jay sleeping on the other side of the room. Rigby bit his lip and turned away from his friend's bed. He hadn't had the courage to look his friend in the eye for quite some time, as he'd developed a crush on that blue bird over a long period of time.
The raccoon had no clue where it came from, and where it would go. All he knew is that he began having feelings for his best friend ever since they left high-school.
Rigby thought about how his life meant without Mordecai, before he even met the blue-jay. He sighed when he knew that his life didn't matter without his friend there.
His mind drifted to how many failed relationships with other girls he'd endured. He hadn't had a girlfriend since he left high-school, and he wanted to keep it that way.
However, the thought of him and Mordecai being together didn't stray too far from it either.
Rigby's eyes wandered over to Mordecai for the second time in a few minutes. Rigby noticed that Mordecai seemed to be shifting in his sleep a lot more than normal.
Rigby wished he could just go up there and hug him, and tell his friend that it was okay. But that would remain in his dreams, until he would get the courage to speak his mind to his friend.
Though the raccoon couldn't help but smile at the sleeping bird. He adored his best friend, and thought that the blue-jay was pretty cute. He kept it to himself though.
Rigby frowned and sighed. He knew that Mordecai would never feel the same way to him, but Rigby would cling to hope. The raccoon grabbed a nearby jacket and tossed it over his body, covering himself from the cold.
He shivered and closed his eyes, eventually falling asleep.
Mordecai's alarm clock went off early the next morning. The blue-jay woke up suddenly. He panted and rested a wing on his forehead. He wiped some sweat off and slammed his fist on the alarm-clock, knocking it to the ground.
Mordecai glanced over at the rusty trampoline and noticed his friend lying beneath it. Mordecai grinned and got up off the bed. The bird approached the trampoline and eyed the raccoon's sleeping form.
Rigby was reaching for something that seemed to be out of his reach, while he was sleeping.
Cute. Mordecai thought, a smile creeping onto his face. The day had only just begun, but he had a good feeling that today would be a good one.
Mordecai felt himself heat up pretty quickly after he woke up. Something was telling him that today was going to be a real warm day.
The blue-jay approached the window beside his bed and saw some dried rain-drops that had pelted the window pane the night before. He looked outside and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it wasn't raining outside.
Working in the rain is never good, especially if you are a groundskeeper.
Mordecai walked over to the door and slowly creeped out. He bit his lip and closed the door softly behind him, so he didn't wake his sleeping friend.
The blue-jay ruffled his hair and sniffed his arm-pits, "Damn, I need a shower..." He muttered to himself.
The bird stepped into the bathroom and approached the shower. He opened the shower door and stepped inside. Mordecai switched on the faucet and stood under the shower head. He exhaled as he felt the water sink into his feathers.
The bird stood under the shower for a few minutes before he began washing himself. He loved taking showers, if he didn't have a job, he could've showered all day and not have a care in the world.
He stepped out of the shower with a towel wrapped around his waist and approached the mirror. The blue-jay opened one of the drawers and grabbed a toothbrush, toothpaste and his comb.
He put his supplies on the counter and ran the comb through his hair. After his hair was back to it's normal self, he put down the comb and picked up his toothbrush and toothpaste.
He squeezed the toothpaste bottle onto the toothbrush and started to brush his teeth. The blue-jay spent the next few minutes brushing his teeth before he spat out what was left in his mouth. Mordecai grinned and put his stuff back in the drawer, after he washed his comb and toothbrush.
He took off his towel and proceeded to dry himself.
Rigby woke up suddenly. His head smashed into the bottom of the trampoline, he grunted and laid back down on the ground. The raccoon rubbed his head and opened his eyes again.
He'd awoken from one of the worst dreams he'd experienced in a very long time.
J-Just a dream…Rigby thought to himself. He calmed down and surveyed his surroundings.
Must've fallen off my trampoline again... He crawled out from under the trampoline and stood up.
He glanced over at Mordecai's bed and wasn't surprised to find it empty. He's probably downstairs...Rigby assumed.
Rigby walked over to the door and jumped up so he could reach the door-knob. He gripped it and opened the door. The raccoon walked out of the bedroom and shut the door behind him. His nose was met with a beautiful scent.
Hmm, what's that smell…? Rigby ran downstairs.
The raccoon got on all fours and ran into the kitchen. He stood up on two legs and saw his friend hunched over the counter. Mordecai turned around and grinned at Rigby.
He was holding one meatball sub on each of his wings.
"Oh, dude! Meatball subs!?" Rigby exclaimed. He was practically drooling over the over-indulging food.
"I figured you'd want something awesome to eat, so yeah." Mordecai explained, smiling a bit.
"Oh yeah-yuh!" Rigby exclaimed. Mordecai handed one of the large subs to his friend and laughed a little.
"A meatball sub for breakfast..."Rigby grinned, "We need one of these every mornin'." He said, while he stuffed his face with the meatball sub.
After a few minutes of talking with each other and eating their meatball subs, the two friends went outside, and they both began enjoying every second of their day off.
"Wanna go to the video game store?" Mordecai asked.
"Ah, you know it." Rigby replied, fist bumping his friend.
The two friends walked out of the park and along a footpath. Mordecai folded his wings and looked around the bustling city.
Why had he come here? He wondered. He never really liked the town, but he had an idea of why he came back.
Rigby still lived there by the time Mordecai returned to Twin Peaks. Mordecai originally returned just to visit his parents, but he soon changed his mind when he met his friend at the local coffee shop.
"There's the store." Rigby pointed to a nearby 'GameShop' store.
They entered the store and looked around the interior. Mordecai went into the blue section of the building and soon came into contact with some of the newest game consoles.
"Playstation three..." He gasped. The price had been marked down from a hundred, to less than fifty dollars.
And it also had the choice of getting two games for only a few extra dollars.
"Oh yeah..." Mordecai whispered. He knew what he'd be getting for his friend's birthday. The question was, did he have enough money to purchase it?
"What?" Rigby peered around a nearby shelf and gave Mordecai an odd look.
"Nevermind!" The blue-jay responded.
"Uhm, okay?" Rigby rolled his eyes and went back to the other side of the store.
Mordecai used this opportunity to speak to the store's cashier about the console he'd had his eyes on.
"Hey man," Mordecai greeted, "Are ya willin' to sell that PS3 ya got over there?" Mordecai asked, pointing to the PS3 on the shelf.
"Why the hell not?" The cashier shrugged, "Do you want to purchase it?" The cashier asked.
"Yes please." Mordecai replied.
"Fifty eight bucks." The cashier got the PS3 off the shelf.
"Alright, here you go." Mordecai said, as he handed over the cash.
"Okay, what two games do you want?" The cashier asked.
"Surprise me." Mordecai bit his lip and looked behind him for a second, checking to make sure that Rigby wasn't watching.
"Ugh...I hate it when people say that..." The cashier groaned and picked two random games off a nearby shelf, before shoving them in the box with the PS3.
"There, thanks for shopping at GameShop, please come again!" The man replied, passing over the PS3 inside a plastic bag. Mordecai picked up the bag and thanked the cashier.
I hope he likes this.. Mordecai thought to himself.
Mordecai felt relieved. He was worried about what he would get his friend for his birthday. Unlike him, Rigby was extremely hard to buy for.
Though, he deserved something awesome for his birthday, as he'd bought Mordecai a brand new bed, worth over two hundred bucks.
Needless to say, Mordecai's reaction was priceless.
Mordecai told Rigby it was time to go and the two anthros walked outside.
"Okay, we headin' home?" Rigby asked.
"Yea" Mordecai answered, hiding the plastic bag behind his back.
"We should've brought the cart," Rigby groaned, "Raccoon's aren't meant to exercise..."
"Yeah, they are," Mordecai scoffed, "You're just extremely lazy."
Rigby rolled his eyes and began walking back to the park, "Hmph, lazy? You're dreamin'..."
Rigby threw himself onto the couch once they got back, while Mordecai walked upstairs. The blue-jay hid the bag in the closet and walked downstairs to where his friend was resting on the couch.
Rigby appeared to be enthralled in what he was watching, as he seemed to not want to take his eyes off it.
"Hey dude, what're you watching?" Mordecai sat down beside the raccoon.
"Just a cartoon." Rigby replied, simply.
"What's the cartoon?" Mordecai asked.
"Just a regular show." Rigby shrugged, "I dunno the name."
"Wanna play video games?" Mordecai replied.
"You know I do!" Rigby laughed, and switched on the gaming console. Rigby's smile turned into a frown as he turned on the console, Mordecai noticed this and commented.
"Dude, what's wrong?" Mordecai asked. He was confused, was Rigby unhappy with the television?
"I'm just a little sick of these games..." Rigby shrugged, "And plus, this console is like, three decades old. When we get the money, can we buy a newer console?" Rigby looked over at his friend.
Mordecai chuckled a bit to the irony of what Rigby just said, "Sure bro." Mordecai smiled.
"Duh, Duh, Duh, Dig Champs!" Two voices on the television exclaimed.
"Oh yeah! I'm gonna be player one!" Rigby laughed, choosing player one.
Mordecai glanced at the raccoon and smiled a bit. Rigby glanced at Mordecai and looked away, before looking back at the television. He's got a cute smile...Mordecai and Rigby both thought, at the same time.
Neither of them commented further, they picked up their controllers and began playing their game.
