Chapter 10: Coffee and Doughnuts
Hey everyone! By the looks of it, you guys actually tolerated the last chapter and yes..I would make a horrible doctor. In other words, the official pairings are Eileen x Chad, Rigby x Eileen , and of course, Jeremy x Mordecai. Enjoy!
Mordecai woke up to a slight numbing sensation on his cheek. "Ow..what happened?" The bluejay also found that he could barely move.Panicked, Mordecai began to squirm, push , kick at whatever was holding him down.
"Stop moving." The bluejay froze and looked up to see Jeremy scowling at him with one eye closed. How come he can do it, but I can't. Mordecai pouted and put his hands on the ostrich's chest to push himself up, but, was instead, pulled down again into a strong embrace.
"Stay here." Mordecai, a bit caught off guard, lifted his head to see Jeremy give him a tender smile. "It's only 7:00. Stay." The bluejay blushed and turned his face away to observe the apartment. It was bigger than Margaret's, a lot more expensive as well.
As Mordecai took in his surroundings, he felt Jeremy plant a kiss on his wounded cheek. He blushed and quickly put his hand over the bandage.
"It's still tender. you know!" The bluejay exclaimed, blushing madly. Jeremy chuckled and rested his forehead against Mordecai's. They stayed that way for a while before Mordecai spoke up. "I...don't think you cleaned it right." Jeremy opened his eyes and pulled his head back, to the slight dismay of the bluejay.
"You think so?" He cocked his head, vividly remembering all the steps that he took.
"Yeah. I mean, it still hurts." Mordecai rubbed his cheek, remembering all that had transpired the night before. Jeremy reached out and grabbed Mordecai's hand.
"Let me see." The bluejay blinked before putting his hand down and resting it on his lap. As Jeremy began to pull back the bandage, Mordecai could already see a look of disgust on his face.
''I-Is it bad?" The bluejay began to feel nervous as Jeremy removed the entire band-aid. The ostrich stared in worry and guilt.
"It's...it's.. well n-not..that bad." Mordecai could see by the look on Jeremy's face that it WAS that bad. He got up and made a dash for the bathroom. "W-Wait! Mordecai, it's fine!" Jeremy got up and tried to stop Mordecai, but the bluejay ignored him and steadied himself in front of the mirror to see the awful sight.
"What the hell?! What did you do?!" Jeremy winced at Mordecai's screams and walked to the bathroom to find the blue avian examining his wound. The ostrich began to feel guilty and tried to think of what he did wrong. He looked back at Mordecai and wrapped his arms around the bluejay's waist to rest his chin on the avian's shoulder.
"It...could be worse." Mordecai continued to ignore the other and focused on the vile cut. The area had swelled up and was beginning to emit a green substance. The cut had only seemed to get bigger and had red streaks extending from it. To make matters worse, the entire area had turned a dark blue. '' I..think it might be infected."
"You think?!" Jeremy once again winced at avian's screeching.
''Well, yes, either that or your body reacts badly to tender loving care." Jeremy tried to lighten the mood, but only received a glare through the mirror. "Nevermind." He cleared his throat,"Maybe we should take you to the hospital."
"What are you guys doing?" Both fowl turned around to see Rigby holding a box of doughnuts and three cups of coffee. Mordecai quickly realizing the position they were in, pushed Jeremy away and covered his wound.
"N-Nothing." Rigby raised an eyebrow, but shrugged and continued to make his way down to the kitchen.
"Nice to know you embrace our relationship." Mordecai turned to Jeremy, who had his arms crossed over his chest. The bluejay did the same.
"Well, I wasn't even aware that we were dating!" He turned away from the ostrich, "Besides, we have more important things to focus on!" Jeremy took a step towards Mordecai.
"Like what?'' The bluejay stepped back.
"Well, we have to find Chad and Eileen! For Rigby, remember?''
"They're at the Park, by the water fountain" Rigby poked his head out of the kitchen.
"Really?! That's where they've been the entire time?!" The racoon was both shocked and angry that they had been closer than he thought.
"Why didn't you say anything sooner?!" Mordecai got in Jeremy's face, trying to intimidate the larger avian, but once again failed. The ostrich kissed the top of Mordecai's beak. The bluejay jumped back.
"Because I was too busy taking care of you." Mordecai's face flushed in anger and embarrassment.
"Well you obviously didn't do a very good job! Look at my face!" As the two continued to bicker, Rigby searched for the keys to the cart.
"Mordecai! Where are the keys?!" The bluejay stopped and looked at his friend.
"They're on top of the coffee table. Just leave without us," Mordecai shot a glare at the ostrich,"we're gonna go to the hospital to fix the mess Jeremy made." The white avian winked at his companion and turned to Rigby.
"And if you're gonna tear Chad to bits, make sure you bring me his phone, that thing wasn't cheap!" The racoon nodded and hurried out of the apartment, leaving a ominous ostrich and a blushing bluejay.
Yayyy. People don't hate me! One more chapter to go! I'm glad people like this as much as I do, it motivates me to write. I know it is short, I kinda got tired and my eyes started to hurt. I just wanted to say a special thank you to those who love Jerecai as much as I do! You guys are awesome!
