This is a sequel to Eyes Like Stars. This whole series will be what comes after Rigby coming out of the closet. If you haven't read Eyes Like Stars, go read it right now. This chapter is VERY short. Sorry about that. Future chapters will be longer. I'm gonna try for at least 1,000 words per chapter. I don't know how often I'll be updating when I have so many ideas for other stories I still need to write out. Spring Break is almost finished for me. I only have three days left before I have school. I'll try to write everyday.


The smaller, much weaker boy grunted, watching the taller one as he pinned him to the wall. He couldn't say he was surprised;he saw this coming. Now he stood there, tense, waiting for a punch to the face. But the punch never came.

Lips.

Lips were placed against his own. Mordecai's lips. What was happening? He was being kissed! Kissed by Mordecai! Mordecai was kissing him! And it felt oddly good. The kiss was gentle, sweet. His heart was pounding hard. But this time it was good. He liked it. For once, he enjoyed the butterflies in his stomach.

Mordecai seperated his lips from Rigby's, finally looking at him and into his eyes. There was love there. Stars even. Stars in those beautiful blue eyes. Mordecai's lips curved into a smile. "You don't know how long I've been waiting for you to say that..."

Rigby felt as if he could die of a heart attack any minute now. He had no idea what to say. What could he say? I've loved you since seventh grade and even wrote shitty poetry about you? "Eh.. Uh..." He tried saying something. Anything. But nothing came out. He was too busy smiling and focusing on how close Mordecai was to his face to know how to speak at the moment so all that came out was incoherent babbling.

Mordecai laughed, both from Rigby's response and from nervousness. He let go of the smaller adult and rubbed the back of his neck. "Sorry bout that-"

"No! I mean- dude you scared the shit out of me but-" He immediately shut himself up, afraid of saying something dumb.

"But what?"

Rigby let out a breathe. "I... mayhavehadacrushonyousinceforever."

"Wait. What was that? I didn't hear you." Mordecai smirked, crossing his arms.

"Gr.. okay fine! I've had a crush on you for a while now."

"Since when?"

"Just a little while.." Rigby lied. He was NOT going to tell Mordecai he's been crushing on him since Jr. High. "What about you? Hm, Mr. Margret's my dream girl?"

"Well..." Mordecai walked over at sat on his bed, soon being followed by Rigby. "I've always kinda thought you were cute and cool and stuff... at least since tenth grade. But I don't think I had a real crush on you until you started getting along with Eileen better."

A few months back, Rigby had given up on Mordecai, thinking he would always be straight, and thought maybe he would give Eileen a try. She was pretty cool and super nice. But once when she had been flirting with him he couldn't take it anymore and blurted out that he was gay. Women never interested Rigby romantically, or sexually for that matter. She was a little disappointed, but she was cool with it in the end. It kinda strengthened their friendship and they began hanging out more often.

"Right..." he said, staring at the floorboards. "Well.. she knows I'm gay-"

"Wait! When did you tell her?"

"A while ago! I didn't mean to! It just sorta slipped out. But anyways, she's cool with it that's why we hang out so often now."

"Oh..."

"Wait. What does that make you?"

"What do you mean?"

"Are you straight or.."

"Bi. I've been bi since like 5th grade, dude."

"What!?"

"I guess that means we've both been in the closet."

"Duuude. That's so dumb."

"Heh. Yeah it is." Mordecai smiled slightly. This entire time he thought Rigby would see him differently for being bi. Turns out Rigby was gayer than he was.

Both of them sat there for a moment, quiet, lost in their own thoughts until Mordecai spoke up.

"So..."

"So does this make us..."

"Boyfriends?" Mordecai asked.

Boyfriends. It almost felt funny calling each other that. But at the same time... It kinda felt right.

"...Boyfriends." Rigby answered.

They both smiled at each other for a moment before Mordecai yawned. "I'm exhausted." He took a look at his alarm clock. "Dude. It's past 1"

"Really?" Rigby stood.

"Yeah dude. We've been talking for longer than I thought. I don't know about you, but I'm ready to hit the hay."

"Yeah.." Rigby smiled slightly. "Tomorrow's Sunday. Benson will probably make us do something."

"Yeah." Mordecai yawned, pulling off his jacket, before his shirt.

Rigby took that as his queue to return to his side of the room and get ready. He was not about to be caught watching Mordecai getting undressed after the discussion they just had. He had his back turned to Mordecai so he couldn't watch him, but of course, this meant Mordecai could watch him without him knowing.

Mordecai smirked, watching Rigby undress. Rigby pulled off his shirt, revealing his bare back. Rigby had a pretty average sized body. Not too skinny, not too chubby, but somewhere in between. Rigby pulled picked up a band tee from the floor, catching a glimpse of Mordecai watching him. He quickly pulled the shirt on, blushing heavily. Mordecai didn't miss this.

Why the hell does he have to stare at me like that?! Rigby took his raccoon tail off, placing it beside his trampoline, and pulled off his pants, having greyish-blue boxers on. He pulled a blanket out from under his "bed" and placed it over.

"What are you doing over there?"

"Huh?" Rigby looked back at Mordecai, to see he was completely undressed besides his blue-striped boxers.

"You're my boyfriend now. So you're sleeping with me. ... Uh.. but not like that."

"..." Rigby smiled sweetly. "Okay." he walked over to Mordecai who was getting into his bed. When he was close enough, Mordecai pulled him down and into the sheets, making them both laugh.

"Night" Rigby sighed.

"Night." Mordecai replied, kissing the other's forehead and pulling him closer.

Rigby's insomnia disappeared instantly.
