[Good morning and welcome to Radio 62-news. Again have catholic extremists protested in front of the capitol against the marriage of gay couples...]
The sound of the radio abruptly stopped when a blue wing had hit the snooze button, Mordecai yawned and sat up in his bed, he stopped when he felt something warm and furry on his lap. He uncovered it and revealed Rigby who was snoring a little -He's so cute- Mordecai thought and smiled.
He began to softly stroke Rigbys soft side, he began to move and purr in his sleep, from a ball stretching out and back to a ball. Mordecai chuckled slightly when he heard his friend squirming quietly, after a few more minutes Mordecai remembered that they still had to do their chore from yesterday, the Blue Jay sighed and began to shake Rigby a little and said "Hey dude, wake up."
Rigby moaned "Wha-what? Duuuude, isn't today Saturday?", "Well yeah, but we still got to cut the branches... we can have breakfast at the coffee shop if you like to." Mordecai replied. It didn't take long for Rigby to make a decision, he nodded and smiled to his friend. Mordecai got up and left the room with the words "Hey, I gonna take a shower, you should probably too.", "Yeah, I guess yore right..." Rigby said still in a sleepy tone.
The water felt good when it began to spread all over Mordecais body, he grabbed a small blue shampoo bottle which laid in the corner of the shower. He flipped the lid open and squeezed some of the blue gel on his hand and massaged it all over his head. Mordecai rinsed himself off and turned the water off. He reached for a towel which would normally hang right next to the shower, but all he felt was nothing and he peeked around the curtain "Aww come on! Rigby!" He yelled.
The door opened with a click and Rigby peeked inside the bathroom and began "Yeah?", "Dude, could you get me a towel please?" Mordecai asked smiled to his friend. "Of course, just gimme a sec." Rigby said running off, Mordecai began to shake a little because he got cold -where is he?- the wet and cold Bird asked himself, he then felt the need to check on Rigby and left the shower and at the exact moment the door opened and Rigby came in, "I got you re towel and-" Both, Rigby froze and Mordecai had a de-ja-vu moment.
The exact same scene with The Blue Jay and Pops coming out of the shower happened again! Except that Rigby was now running into Mordecai. Mordecai blushed and covered himself with the shower curtain "Oh shit! I - I - I'm sorry Mordecai!" Rigby stumbled and was about to close the door, but before he could Mordecai said something Rigby never thought he would do, "Hey, its okay! You know we are like all the time naked and yeah ... Wh...why don't you join me?" Of course the Blue Jay encouraged Rigby to kiss, hug and such but Rigby never thought Mordecai would actually make the first move in "that" direction.
Rigby opened the door and stepped inside the quite large, old green-blueish bathroom, which had a bathtub with a curtain in front of it, a small cupboard on the left wall and a sink on the right side with a toilet next to it. "Y-y
You mean like... Sh-showering?" Rigby asked unsure of the whole situation, but then Mordecai assured him to join him "Yeah dude, why not?" Rigby then expressed his unsureness on his face and Mordecai realized what Rigby meant and said chuckling "He He, I see how this looks like. You think that I wanna get "physical" and that's not what I meant, what I meant was just, ya know, chillin in the shower." Mordecai could´ve slapped his forehead for this -Now Rigby thinks I´m pervert- he thought.
Then Rigby walked smirking towards Bathtub, Mordecai grabbed his hand and helped him inside the tub. Mordecai turned the water on and sat down and looked at Rigby, he laid his wing on Rigbys shoulder and pulled him over to a quick peck on his cheek. Rigby giggled and fell his friend around the neck hugging him, they began a conversation about this and that and kept on hugging and snuggling until Rigby managed to slip over a pice of soap and hit his head in the tub, "Owwww, Shit!" Rigby whined while rubbing his head and Mordecai turned the water off while helping his friend up, "Dude are you okay?" the Blue Jay asked, "Nah, I guess its fine. Lets get breakfast!"
Mordecai smiled and grabbed the towels Rigby had brought and they began to dry off, they then both headed downstairs to the kitchen. There was a small piece of paper on the dining table, Mordecai reached for it and said "Whats that?", Rigby pulled out a chair and climbed it up, "Dude, Benson gave us a list of shit to do! Fuck that Bastard!" Mordecai yelled and handed it to Rigby who's said in a "Aww come on! Is he serious, we still gotta do those stupid branches!".
Mordecai sighed and said "C'mon lets go to the coffee ´shop!", Rigby smiled and got of the chair and followed his friend out of the house. Mordecai locked the house with his key and then they both walked into town. Rigby grabbed his friends hand and smiled at him, Mordecai felt awkward holding hands in public, not that he didn't like it but it felt strange. They both soon earned a evil stare here and there, but they didn't care and just ignored them. The friends soon reached the coffee shop and entered it.
Margaret greeted them "Hi Mordecai and Rigby!", "Oh, hey Margaret!" Mordecai smiled and walked with Rigby over to their usual table. "Hey, you guys want the usual?" the red bird asked, both of them nodded and Mordecai said "Add a breakfast for both of us please." Margaret nodded and left towards kitchen. She soon came back with two mugs filled with hot steaming black coffee, she sat the mugs down in front of Mordecai and Rigby, "So, here you go, black with sugar." Once again she left and the friends found the selves alone in the coffee shop, it was yellow-white themed with bright oak wood interior.
Finally Eileen came out of the backdoor and greeted them "Hey guys!", Hi Eileen!" Mordecai and Rigby said simultaneously, "Ummm, Eileen, could I - we talk to you?" Rigby said in a serious tone, Mordecai looked a little amazed and Eileen said "Of course you can.", Rigby took a big breath and began to explain "Mordecai, I talked a few days ago with Eileen about how I felt for you and she gave me pretty good advice. So I guess its time to reveal our Relationship to our friends but I think we both agree that we have no Idea how to... you know... come out...", Mordecai was a bit... surprised about Rigbys quick decision to come out and didn't say anything and looked at Eileen with a questioning look in his eyes. Eileen then smiled and said"Ohhh, I'm glad things have worked out for you. Hmmmm so you want my advice... I guess its like just telling everybody the truth... you know, its hard to give advice on something I have no experience with, hehe", "Yeah, thank you anyways Eileen." Rigby said and Mordecai still was a bit stunned.
Margaret came out of the kitchen with two plates filled with scrambled eggs, bacon and a beagle. She sat the plates infront of Mordecai and Rigby and said "I hope it tastes, anyways, Mordecai, would you... uhmm come with me to a party of a friends tonight, ya know like a ...date?"
That's the moment, the moment Mordecai waited now for years but he gave up on getting closer to Margaret and began a Relationship to Rigby. "Margaret, I...umm-" Mordecai was cut of by Rigby who said fast "Mordecai and I are a couple...". Margarets beak dropped open and her eyes all of a sudden showed an expression of disbelief and sadness. (That´s where the rewrite begins) -D...did he just... really say... that?-, She tried to tell herself that it was a joke and said "He he, good Joke guys but-" she stopped as she saw the looks in Mordecais and Rigbys faces, she buried her face in in her wings and cried a little .Mordecai pulled himself together after the quick statement of his friend and said in a soft voice "Margaret, I tried to get... closer to you now for years and I gave up because you didn't recognize me, so I moved on and found out Rigby loved me upright, I'm sorry, but we still can be friends, okay?"
Rigby walked over to Margaret and laid a paw on her arm, she turned her head and looked at the Raccoon who smiled at her. She said sobbing a little "Mo...Mordecai, I...I loved you too but, I couldn't get over my fears to finally ask you so I compensated with one-night stands and tried to pretend I didn't feel for you that way." Morecai felt, guilty, he shrugged it off and smiled at her.
Margaret was raised that male and female belong together and never the other way, she also was sent to a catholic school which of course thought the ways of the Bible and what a big sin it was to be gay. Her bigger brother, after he stated to be gay, got kicked out of home thirteen years ago, made her upset and question what she was taught. After Margaret was 17 she ran away from home and found a job in the city she now works and lives in, she made up her own mind about the Bible and what is right and wrong and came to the conclusion that gay or bi-sexual people aren't so bad at all, they aren't different, they are the same just wit a difference in their interests.
Margaret never really supported or were against homosexuality, she was neutral but now she had to decide, whether to stay friends with Mordecai and Rigby or cancel their friendship. She was tending to keep them as friends because she didn't want to give up on her dream, being with Mordecai. They chatted a few more minutes until Rigby said "Dude! Whats about the branches?", "Right, I totally forgot about that!" Mordecai said slapping his forehead.
They exchanged goodbyes and then headed home to get done with their duty. On their way home Mordecai noticed a crowd of older looking peoples in front of a club, "Whats goin on there? Lets. Check it out." He said and changed course, as he and Rigby came closer they could hear word chunks, such as "We don't want fags!", "Stop the Gay-sins!". The Blue Jay stopped promptly and observed how a small group people ca?e out of the building. Mordecai realized it was a gay-club when he sighted a few same sex couples and rainbow bracelets and other rainbow accessories, "Dude! They are like raging against gays!" Rigby complained in a pissed off tone.
Before Mordecai could respond a tall man in white clothes yelled louder then the protestants "WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU THINK YOURE DOING?!", the crowd of old people got silent and a old woman said "Stopping the sins! May the Demons that have you possessed release you!", the "conversation" between the two group continued and the number of observers increased. "Lets get out of here dude! Those old ass bastards cant let people be them selves!" Rigby said now in a really angry way and Mordecai agreed by hmmm-ing.
They left the crowd and soon they couldn't hear the insults and yells of the groups anymore but had the Park in sight. Mordecai and Rigby reached the Park at the southern entrance, the tools they used yesterday laid behind a tree and Mordecai grabbed the saw and began to cut branches.
Sometimes Mordecai held Rigby up to cut a branch and they both soon laid flattered by the work on the soft and cool Grass when Mordecai said still a little panting "Hey dude, I heard Benson will hire an intern." Rigby looked a little surprised at his friend and said "Realy? I hope he wont fire us...", "Nah, I don't think so, he would had hired two interns..." Mordecai said in a light tone of fear because he knew why Benson hired an Intern...
