Chapter 5: Unbreakable Love/Romance to the Core

Mordecai was just laying on his bed, staring up at the ceiling, thinking of his new relationship with his ex-friend, now boyfriend, Rigby.

"Sigh, hey Rigby?"

"Yes hun?" replied the raccoon, staring up to see the mismatched eyes of his blue-jay mate.

"Do you think we re going to last? I mean, we only had one kiss and now..." Mordecai was cut off by the soft feel of his beloved's lips on his own, entwining their tongues slowly, and they each enjoyed every second of it. 3 minutes passed by, or maybe it was 5, but they had lost track of time when Rigby pulled away, breathing slightly faster than normal.

"Make that two." Mordecai said, smiling brightly and blushing a deep reddish-purple you would only be able to see at sunset.

"Mordecai, I love you so much. I have for so long and now... You ve made my greatest dreams come true." Rigby smiled.

A tear rolled down Mordecai's cheek at these romantic words, said with such smoothness that one could not tell the difference between Rigby's expression and silk. Mordecai choked back the lump in his throat and made an attempt to respond.

"You ve a-always treated me like I m the best guy you'd ever meet... Knowing you're beside me gives me a feeling Margaret never gave me. I guess you could call it l-lo-love..." He began sobbing, overwhelmed by everything he was feeling. His heart felt like it was racing as fast as a racecar in the Indy 500.

Rigby immediately pulled his small body up around his newfound lover's neck and hugged him close. "Mordy, sweetheart, please don't cry, I'll always be here with you. And I treat you so good because I'm in love with you. You're always so sweet and doing anything you can for the one you love, like with CJ and, before, Margaret."

"Rigby... I didn't love them. I feel something for you that they never got out of me." He hugged Rigby back and kissed his small black nose.

"I love you, Mordecai."

"I love you too, Rigby."

"God," Mordecai thought, "I can t believe this whole time I was gay and din t know it. And to my cute best friend!"

The two seemed like a perfect couple. Tall and short, so one could hold the other, fur and feathers for maximum comfort while cuddling. Everything looked perfect for the two.

Until the letter arrived.
