brick was at the mall looking for baby clothes to buy for the baby. He still wasn't sure if it was a boy and or a girl-Doctor Zed siad he could tell him but he and mordevai agreed they wanted the baby's gender to be a surprise, so he only bought strictly gender-nitrate clothing like pure white diapers, because blue would be too masculine for their little agnes and pink would be two sissy for any smurf respecting son. brick shuttered at the thought of any son of his becoming a little bitch. he would not have it in his house and his famiyl, and he was sure that Mordecai would ain't not have none of any of that neither.

he looked at all the baby things in the baby store with his eyes at the mall and felt self conches and judged as all the mothers to be to shotted glares at him. what was so wrong with someone like himself being a mother!? "they shell keep their eyes turned towards themselves"Brick thought bitterly as a pregnant blond bimbo shot him a DIRTY glare. she were probably a cheerleader in highschoo

"Excuse me ma'am do you have something to say to me?"Brick say glaring back to woman the. she put her hands on her hips and huffed and walk away without a word because she did't have the guts to back up her snooty looks with bitchy words. just from her looks brick thought she was probably some washed-up cheerleader or something and that was probably true but he wasn't sure anyway even though he was almost posiotive that he knew. In any case Brick wasn't about to be pushed around by some bimbo bitch even if he was pregnant no one messes with this man, baby.

Relaly though Brick were shopping to try to take his mind off things. Thing were gotten really weird lately what his his surprise pregnancy and Mordecai's motherly fetishes and Mordecai's murderings and now the lie he was about to tell raikou…tonight…he had resolved a resolution to tell Raikou that he and the feline alien were through with their intimate physical relations if you know what I mean and I think you do. It pained him to think of the it but it was for the best…he loved mordecai and raikou but he knew deep down in his broken and bruised heart that he could never have both and it killed him inside with the feelings and he just wanted to bury his heart deep in the ground in a coffin and forget about love but that's just not how love works boys and girls we all have to make decisions and they can't be cutting out your heart because that's suicide in this world, our world.

Brick was shocked to discover that his eyes were crying without his knowledge until the tear dripped down his face and then he was surprised. HIM? HE? HE WAS CRYING IN PUBLIC DOMAIN? It hadn't occurred to him quite how much this affair was eating him apart. He felt cold and tired and if his organs could cry they would. he wiped away his tears. He had to be strong, for the baby, his baby, his sweet little Lester and or Agnes. He clenched his hand in a tight fist in resolution that he would be STRONG, for his chrilden! he would break up with Raikou after securing child support and he would RAISE HIS CHILD with his TRUE LOVE Mordecai.

But he couldn't help but have his heart BREAK at the thought of leaving Raikou. Raikou COMFORTED him in his TIME OF NEED. A mighty sob rippled through his muscled body like a kid jumping into a pool of water not knowing how many tears and other bodily fluids had been spilled into the public pool. The naiveté was degrading.

his wishes were SPLIT DOWN THE MIDDLE.

on one hand there was MORDECAI, his lover of many years and his soul mate
on the other hand there was RAIKOU, who comfort him in his time of need and fulfilled him in the ways of the body.

He was sure for a second that he heard his heart audibly rip in two with his ears but that was ridiculous because no one man's hearing is that good. brick burst out of tears and ran into the little boy's room to collect themselves.

"It keeps happening again, all over, and then it repeats and goes on. Why is my heart like a pecan in the shell when the casing is cracked and my life becomes hell and i get really sick and it makes a bad smell and the pizza is here 'cause i heard the doorbell?" Brick wiped his eyes and tried to clam down. He was making rhymes, not a good sign.

-

back at the home the mordecai walkeda way from the door with the pizza and began to eat it he always got the munchies when he was drugging it up and it made him ravenous like a voracious guppy feasting upon it's young pups. Once he woke up in a cold sweat with torn flesh marks on his arm the size of his mouth on his own arm's and blood on the tips of his teeth…u8230 after that brick left him money so he could order pizza during his drug binge's, just so he wouldn't hurt himself again like the last time. The pizza tastey cheesey and pheasant wave of meaty tastes waved over mordecai's beach of a tongue like a whale coasting along the coast until it reaches the deep end sending waves of cheese and pepperoni like some sort of yellow and brown orgy of flavor's causing the sun to burst into fevering song. the lapping wavering twisting tongue melodies songed into the sky of mordecia's taste bugs and the taste bugs crawled everywhere covering every inch of every square foot of mordecai's vision and he freaked out but then he remembered he was hiugh so it was all ok and he was just freaking out. The bugs waved and smiles. "Get out of here you the bugs I am trying to enjoy this great pot."He yelled and then the bugs ascended to another realm.

suddenly the univorse tore asunder and twelve decaying civets danced over to Mordecai's view. The civets danced and giggled, exchanging tophats, before shedding their flesh's and giving way to seven dik-diks which danced a dance uncomprehensible to man. The dik-diks used their mighty scythe-like mandibles to carve a doorway into the virginal wall. the doorway shrieked and bled mightily, like a gored babe in the horror movies with the skin peeling off like a bana peel as the dik dik's continued enacting their lust for carnage. It begged for mercy but the vicious dik-diks with their gleaming carapaces sawed away at the wall's flesh without any regard for the wall's pain and suffering as some sort of poetic metaphor for the bandit that mordecor killed but the subtlety went right over mordeple's head because he didn't give a fuck at this point he was too busy not paying attention. The dik-dik's finished their dirty dead and left the doorway for deed, cackling and chirping all the while like satin's little helper's.

The doorway then bursted open in a rainbow of many colors but not too many colors and a petite soda bottle, scarcely less than ten feet tall, sauntered through the gaping wall wound like he was just the cat's meow! the sense of pompous showsmanship underwhelmed mordecai's high standards.

"Mordecai, I am home."rang the empty glass container in a hollow voice. Mordecai recognized the bottle's voice instantly.

"Brick? Why the hell are you a soda botdle?"Mordecai questioned inquisitively.

The bottle sighed a whistling sigh, almost musical in it's sorrow. "Mordecai I am not a soda bottle. You are just high again."The bottle sounded almost angry, but that couldn't'be so, because soda bottle sdon't feel emotions so Mordecai disregaurded the bottle's feelings and emotions. "I thought you promised to stop doing the drugs, so much."

"I know I say that for the babe, the baby, the child, the kid, the grub…but Brick my dear wife you have to understand recovery is a long road and I have to go down it carefully or I could die with withdrawls or whatever"siad mordecai lighting up a joint and taking a drag from the drug cigarette and getting higher. stars spinning upwards, he went higher than a kite and a cloud and even higher than the sun and the moon and the always spinning, like a hool a hoop he spun, like a record, like an air plane turbine, breaking through space itself he was spinning so high heavenwards, the pieces of space shattered with a loud crash and the shrapnel flew every which way, because of the spinning, the shards rained down throughout the universe making twelve galaxies into pin cushions and yet surprisingly only orphaning two children in the aftermath of the damages, and then when Mordecai had broken through space he knew he wasn't done so he continued to escargot, soaring right through the the space barriers into heaven, not even stopping at the gates for identification, past god himself and onwards and upwards, his height continued to heightened until his high existed in all dimensions during the past, preasant, and future, it was like he was high enough to change a lightbulb goddamn was he high.

Back on earth bricks watches as mordecei convulsed on the couch and vomited over himself from the drugs. he slowly and surely came too covered in his own filth, not from falling out of the sky and getting covered in dirt like he had hoped but because he had physically soiled himself and now he was covered in gross bodily filth. the smell was bad but the stench was worse. brick heart just broke watching him in his tragic struggle against the drugs and wandered why noone ever warns kids about the drugs because of all this could be avoided if just one parent sat their son down and siad "mordy, don't do drugs because they will ruin your life and stuff."Tears came to brick's eye blue eyes as he held mordecia, frail and filthy, in his arms. he had forgot how tiny and petite his lover was as it had been many a time since they had had much contact because things were so rough for them latelty. it fell right to him in brick's opinion with mordecai safe and his body pressed to his even if he stank of rank smells and was sick as the dickens.

"i couldn't help it, i was under the influenza of drugs..." siad mordecopter telepathetically to brick, who stopped angering at him. he couldn't be maid with someone who was so shamful, it was just not how he did things. He lowered his fits "i'm sorry, your write. it was the durgs which got you, i am angry at them instead."

"i don't want to do drugs anymore"say mordecai horsely as he reached up and touched brick's jawlines. His voice shook and wavered like it was made of tears. brick stroked mordecai's face back and caressed his airplane guy mask tenderly. mordecai then uttered out a whisper between his crusted tortured mouth lips. "but I can't face the world without the drugs. it's like I depend on them."

Brick looked across at the nodded. "I understand mrodecai. it is like gravy for the shoes, meaning it makes the shoes alot easier to be eaten. without gravy? there's just not much doing it unless you are a scag. because then with the gravy you are just asking questions about why it was necessary in the first place as you eat the shoe like you would have anyway. so the scag in this case is like the universe because it just doesn't care and the shoe is like your hopes and dreams, which you have to eat in order to survive. guns and bullets are the new shoes of your existence. you had better get used to wearing them on your feet. because that is life. that is what you got when they pulled you out of your parent's womb."

"wow brick, I never knew you were so articulate in your thinkings. in all the year's I've known you this is the first time I head you talk like that about the things."siad Mordacei. "i just have to put these on shoes on my feet and deal with them. i'm sick of thegravy giving me blisters as I run away from the problems and from now on i'm going to say no to drugs."

brick cry happy tear, and mordecai caress his face. "and ill stop fucking around. as sure as nikoa tesla invented the internet, i will be fatheful to you brick, so don't worry" said mordecouldn't. brick thought about it and since nikoa tesla probably invented the internet he was pretty sure there was nothing to worry about
