A/N: Ok so, this is my first fanfiction, so I decided to do it on Mordecai x Rigby. So if you don't like gay fanfiction then leave now. Also there will be yaoi later on, so be warned now. Other than that, I don't own Regular Show or its characters, I don't know how long this story will end up being, and credit to my anonymous friend for helping and critiquing me on the story (You know who you are). So enjoy.
Also as reference, words between quotes "" is dialogue, words in parenthesis () or in bold are author's notes, italicized words are character thoughts, underlined words are songs and whatnot, like when a radio is playing.
One more note, it's not entirely canon, as you can tell by this pairing, and it's largely based on the show, though I will add things to make it more of an AU. Hope you don't mind.
It was a hot, summer day in the park. Benson had already assigned the chores for the day. Mordecai and Rigby were stuck with mowing the park lawn.
"Duuuuuuude. Why do we always gotta do the shitty jobs? Why can't we just run the snack bar, like Muscle Man and Fives?" The short raccoon complained.
"Cuz Benson thinks we're a bunch of lazy-ass slackers… which we are of course" The taller blue avian replied with a grin.
"Well yeah, but we still get our shit done. So I don't see why he can't trust us." Rigby defended.
Mordecai sighed, and replied. "I dunno man. I dunno. Now let's hurry this up, I can't stand being out here in this heat. I'm sweating a waterfall dude."
Rigby chuckled and got an idea. "Haha yeah. And, Mordecai?"
Mordecai looked back at his friend "Yeah dude?"
"You're hot" Rigby teased.
Mordecai laughed and replied "Yeah well, you're super hot. We're both super hot. Now c'mon, let's finish mowing the damn lawn"
Rigby stared at his blue jay companion and got lost in his thoughts.
Well I may have been joking around, but I do think he is hot. He has such a toned figure, nice athletic physique even with all the video games we play, and such a loveable everything. Ugh, I have a crush on my best friend, but he's straight. He's been trying to ask out Margaret for forever now. There's no way he'd wanna be with someone like me. But it's still nice to dream.
"Hey, Rigby, you wanna stand there and stare or you wanna actually help?" Mordecai asked.
Rigby snapped out of his daydreaming and tried to give a nonchalant answer "Uh yeah man, I'll help. Was just… thinking, is all"
Mordecai raised his brows and questioned "About what?"
"Uh, n-nothing. Nothing, really" Rigby replied.
"Uhh, sure dude, just finish up" Mordecai said with a shrug and returned to mowing the lawn.
Rigby started to push his mower and after a little over an hour the two were able to finish mowing.
"Fiiiiiinally dude. We're done. You wanna go play videogames now?" The raccoon asked.
"But dude we always do that. I actually wanted to go down to the Coffee Shop to see Margaret." The avian replied.
Rigby groaned loudly at his remark "Uuuuuggggh but come ooooon maaaaaan. You're always going down there to see her, and you still can't ask her out." Rigby justified.
Mordecai got defensive from that "Hey shut up dude, it's not easy to ask a girl out. It's nerve-wracking, and it's risky. Cuz like, what if she says no? What if our friendship gets awkward? What if she doesn't wanna see me again, what if-"
"Dude, shut the hell up. You're overthinking this WAY out of proportion." Rigby replied.
Mordecai calmed down and looked down at his best friend "Yeah, yeah. Sorry." He replied sheepishly.
"If you wanna go to the Coffee Shop so bad you gotta make your move then" Rigby told him, a small bit of sadness in his voice.
"That's the plan at least" Mordecai joked and walked off to the cart, Rigby tailing behind him.
The drive was quiet between the two, the sound of the radio the only thing breaking the silence.
When it's time to live and then die. And you can't get another try. Something inside this heart has died. You're in ruins. 1, 21 guns. Lay down your arms, give up the fight. 1, 21 guns. Throw up your hands, into the sky. You and I.
They finally arrived at the Coffee Shop, Mordecai with more of a pep in his step as Rigby was not as eager to be there. Mordecai greeted to the robin as he entered.
"Hey Margaret! What's up?"
She looked back at the duo with a smile "Oh hey Mordecai, nothing much. Hi Rigby" she greeted.
"Hi" Rigby mumbled, shuffling by and taking a seat, pulling out the one beside him for his friend.
Mordecai sat down beside him and looked at him "Ordered the coffees dude."
"Alright, cool" Rigby said, staring back at him.
Ugh, I can't get over him. He's just perfect in my eyes. That Blue Oyster Cult song 'Burnin for you' really describes this. I want him to see I care about him, more than a friend. But what if he doesn't feel the same way? What if he rejects me? I can't risk it and lose my best friend.
Mordecai snapped his fingers in front of the raccoon's face "Yo, earth to Rigby, you there dude? You're zoning out again"
Rigby snapped out of it and jumped in his seat slightly "Yeah, yeah I'm here, just daydreaming again"
"You've been doing that a bit lately. You sure you don't wanna talk to me about it?" He questioned.
"If you'd noticed the signs a bit more you'd probably know what I'm thinking about" Rigby answered and looked away. Before Mordecai could retort, Margaret came to the table with their coffees. "Here you guys go. Need anything else?" She asked.
Mordecai spoke up "Yeah, uh. Margaret, I was w-wondering if you maybe w-wanted t-t-to go to t-t-the movies with me?" He asked nervously, his face flushed with red, even beginning to sweat with anxiety.
Margaret giggled at his stuttering and replied "Yeah sure dude. My shift ends at 6:30, you can come pick me up around 8 o'clock, that sound good?"
"Y-yeah, s-sounds great. See you at eight." He said, and she turned to resume working.
Mordecai turned to face Rigby so fast he almost got whiplash "DUDE, Did you hear that?! She said yes!" He beamed with excitement. Rigby didn't want to show his sadness so he put on a fake smile and replied back "That's awesome dude, you finally did it." He was happy that his friend was happy, but Rigby would have preferred if he were in Margaret's place instead of her. He looked away and faced the TV to hide his face from Mordecai.
After they finished their coffee, the duo left the Coffee Shop and hopped back in the cart, and drove back to the park. Mordecai, giddy with excitement, kept chattering to Rigby about his plans for his date later that night, though Rigby zoned out and kept to his own thoughts, his own sadness overcoming him.
