Morby FanFic Pt. 2 Desperate Measures

It was around 2:30 when the two decided to head back to the park. They walked paw in wing. Holding Mordecai's hand made Rigby's heart flutter. As they walked people would shoot a nasty look here and there. This made Rigby lower his head and frown. Mordecai just sent a nasty look back. "I'm sorry dude" Rigby chimed. "What? Why are you apologizing"? the blue jay cocked an eyebrow.

(R)"I'm just embarrassing you". The raccoon looked to the frowned and kicked a small rock letting out a sigh.

Mordecai stopped and swiftly placed himself knelt eye level to Rigby in front of him. He gazed into Rigby's eyes. Rigby became lost in the blue jay's eyes. They glistened in the afternoon sun a soft, ocean blue. "I have held this in for so long. I see that it was a mistake. Now that it has been said, I don't care what other people think". The blue jay spoke softly reassuring Rigby. The coon smiled a big, silly smile. "Are you sure"? Rigby asked. "I've never been more sure". Mordecai replied

When Mordecai confessed his love, it was like a dream come true. Rigby has had growing feelings for Mordecai for years. Since they were kids he always felt, 'weird' around him. Often Rigby would think that Mordecai was better off without him.

Rigby threw tantrums all the time over little things. He would run off to his mound of clothes and think to himself ~I did it this time. Now he's gonna leave me~ Every morning that he woke up to Mordecai coaxing him into consciousness he would sigh with relief just to know he was still there. But though Mordecai had just confessed such deep feelings for Rigby, he himself had no idea how to tell Mordecai how he has always felt. Mordecai was always so brave. That was one of the things that he admired most about him.

The couple were nearing the park entrance. Rigby's heart began to pound as he grew anxious. He had something on his mind. "Hey... Mordecai"? he uttered low. "Hmmm"? Mordecai hummed. "So, what are we gonna do about, us"? Mordecai looked down to the raccoon. "What do you mean"? He asked with concern heavy in his voice.

(R)"I mean, what about everyone at the park? Benson, Skips, Pops, Muscleman and High Fives"?

As the pair got closer to the archway leading into the park they first approached a bench. Mordecai picked Rigby up and sat him down kneeling down eye level again. This time, closer and more intimately. "Like I said before, I have held this in for so long. Now that I can call you mine, I want everyone to know". Rigby sat in shock at the depth of Mordecai's response and how easily the words flew out of his beak. ~Was he always this poetic?~ Rigby began to shed a few tears of joy. Mordecai wiped them away as they came. After a moment of silence the two get up and continue on.

The park was beautiful in fall. Gold, rust, and brown leaves littered the walkway and let out a crisp crunch as people tread over them. A cool breeze was nipping at their necks. Some people would give a disgusted look at the couple as if their love affected their lives. Most people didn't seem to care. Rigby would glance up here and there at his long time friend, and new boyfriend. ~Boyfriend~ Played over in Rigby's head. It seemed childish, yet cute to use that title.

As the two were walking along in a silent calm, a rough and obnoxious voice broke in. "Ah sick. What are you two gay"? Mordecai and Rigby turn to see Muscleman and High Fives looking at the two with a look of disdain. The couple grip each other's hand tightly and scowl. "Maybe we are. What's it to you"? Mordecai snapped at the smelly green man and floating specter. "Dude that's gross. So you two into taking it up the bum"? Muscleman blurted crudely. This just pissed Mordecai and Rigby. "Shut up already! No one cares what you think"! Rigby exclaims as he begins to move towards Muscleman. Mordecai picks Rigby up and throws him over his shoulder. "Forget it dude, he's not worth it".

"You're just gonna let him get away with that"? Rigby thrashed about over Mordecai's shoulder.

(M)"Dude, he's just trying to get you worked up".

(R)"Well it worked"! The angry coon shouted.

Mordecai was trying to think of a way to quiet the feisty raccoon. His eyes are drawn to Rigby's butt that wigled near his face. ~What a cute butt~ Mordecai places a firm slap on Rigby's behind. Rigby jolts and blushes nearly neon red. He could not believed what happened. When Mordecai slapped his hind-end it sent a shiver up his spine. It caused him to widen his eyes. "Good boy". Mordecai remarked with a smirk.

Mordecai opened the door to the house that sat centered in the entire park. He set Rigby down on the couch and sat next to him. "So you wanna watch a movie"? Mordecai asked. "Yeah sounds awesome. Let's watch a scary one". Mordecai gave Rigby a stern look. "Dude, you always get scared when we watch one".

(R)"No I don't"!

(M)"Oh yeah? Don't you remember how you couldn't handle looking at any kind of taxi after we watched 'Ello Gov'ner'"?

(R)"Stop talking! I won't get scared this time".

(M)"You're right. Cause I'll be here to protect you".

Rigby blushed and fell silent without argument. When Mordecai was sweet like that he always wound up speechless. He wanted to tell the avian how much he felt but he was too nervous. Rigby felt bad because Mordecai had said so much to him about his feelings and was even brave enough to be the one to share them first. Rigby had the same feelings for years and never managed to tell Mordecai. Now that it's been said he wants to do what Mordecai has done for him.

So the couple decide on a scary movie. It was a generic horror flic about psycho clowns. Mordecai wasn't phased by the movie, but Rigby was shaking 10 minutes in. When the movie got to the really scary parts he would let out light whimpers and shrieks. Mordecai placed his wing around him and pulled him into his side. Rigby was yet again dumbfounded by how affectionate Mordecai was and loved it.

After the movie had finished it was around 10:00 pm. They had walked around the park earlier (avoiding Muscleman and High Fives) enjoying the scenery and each other. "Well, I think we should go to bed. We have work tomorrow". Mordecai said with a yawn. "Awwwww man. I don't want to work". Rigby huffed as he crossed his arms. "I know but we have to". Mordecai grinned and pet the raccoon's head. Rigby began to softly purr but caught himself and stopped before Mordecai could hear it.

The couple shut off the TV, brushed their teeth, and made their ways to their bedroom. Mordecai plopped on his comfy bed. RIgby began to shuffle over to his trampoline. "No way dude". Mordecai said. Rigby looked back a bit confused.

(R)"What man"?

(M)"There is no way I am leting my boyfriend sleep on that". He said while patting the empty space on his bed. Rigby began to glow red in the dark room. Rigby walks timidly over and crawls into Mordecai's bed and lays with his back to the blue jay. He jumps a bit when he feels Mordecai's wing slide over his side and wrap around onto his belly. "Good night dude". Mordecai said with satisfaction in his voice. Rigby was unable t respond.

After about an hour of laying in the dark feeling Mordecai's warm breathing on the nape of his neck (which sent shivers down his spine every time) Rigby still couldn't sleep. He still felt like crap for not being able to be as open as Mordecai. He listend to Mordecai's breathing for a moment then tried to roll slowly to face the sleeping avian without waking him. He managed to turn successfully until the end with one final jolt he caused Mordecai to stir, then open his eyes only a sliver.

(M)"What's wrong dude"?

(R)"I can't sleep".

(M)"Are you okay"?

Mordecai pulled his torso up and sat next to Rigby looking down at the sad raccoon. He could see that Rigby was holding something in and wanted to help him. Rigby took a deep breath trying to work up the courage to say what he was feeling.

(R)"You are really brave and... I'm just a wuss".

(M)"What? Don't talk like that. It makes me sad to hear you say that".

Rigby looked away from Mordecai. He didn't want to upset Mordecai. He wanted him to always smile.

(R)"I feel like a turd. You have been able to tell me so easily how you feel and I still can't..." Rigby trailed off.

Mordecai put a single feather under Rigby's chin and lifted his head to bring his gaze to his.

"Dude, I don't want you to be uncomfortable. If you don't like me then just say so. I will understand". Rigby was astonished. He knew he wasn't communicating well but now Mordecai thinks he doesn't like him.

(R)"I didn't mean it like "!

(M)"Dude it's cool. I'll back off".

Mordecai started moving away. Rigby started to freak out. He wasn't about to let him slip away as fast as he gets him. Out of nowhere in a desperate attempt to stop this from falling through, Rigby launches his small self at Mordecai and kisses him deeply. Mordecai's eyes shot open. He did not see that coming from this normally shy raccoon. But it felt... right. He embraced Rigby in his wings while the kiss finished. Rigby was redder than he had ever been.

"I guess I was wrong". He said smiling and actually blushing a bit himself. "Dude are you alright"? Mordecai asked pointing out that Rigby had a bloody nose. Rigby touched his nose and saw a drop of blood on his paw. "Damn it"! He exclaimed rushing to the bathroom and getting some tp to plug his nostril. Mordecai walked in. "You okay"? he asked approaching behind Rigby who stood on a stool making him about chest height. "Yeah I'm fine". Rigby was a bit upset. ~Damn this nose. I'm such a loser~ As Rigby was thinking this he felt Rigby wrap his wings around his waist and quickly kiss the top of his head. "You're adorable". Rigby began to smile. His feelings were known.
