Mordecai's POV

We had only sat on the floor for a few minutes when Rigby had finished crying and fell asleep in my arms.

I looked down at him and stroked his hair. Rigby shifted a little in his sleep and nuzzled his head deeper into my chest.

Why do bad things always happen to Rigby? I thought.

I stood up slowly to not wake Rigby and carried him upstairs to our bedroom.

I closed the door quietly with one hand then sat on my bed.

I stroked his hair as what Rick Robin said floated around in my head.

I'm sorry to inform you that Don has died in a car crash.

I clutched Rigby at the end of the thought as though he would fade away. Rigby shifted and I realized I was holding him too tight.

I loosened my grip on him a little and he relaxed.

Suddenly, the door flew open with a bang, causing Rigby to snap awake and his ears perked up.

He would have jumped at the noise if I wasn't holding him. Rigby relaxed when he saw it was only Benson but cowered as he walked over to us, his face red.

"What have you two been doing?! Work started 15 minutes ago!" Benson yelled.

Tears welled up in Rigby's eyes.

I knew he was thinking about Don.

"No, no. Don't cry, Rigby. It's ok," I quickly said, wiping the tears from his eyes as they fell.

I glared at Benson as Rigby started crying into my chest.

Benson just stood there, unsure of what to do.

"I'm sorry," he said, walking out.

"Shh, everything will be ok."

Tears came to my eyes as Rigby cried.

I wiped them away then hugged him tightly.

Rigby slowly stopped crying and looked up at me, more tears threatening to pour down his face.

He opened his mouth then shut it and closed his eyes.

Rigby leaned into me and sniffled. I stroked his hair and held him tightly as we sat in silence.

Thanks to joeyverri1015 for the idea for Don to die in a car crash. Next chapter soon!
