Rigby bolted up from his seat as the heard the bell sound.
Yes! This day is finally over! Time to go find Mordecai.
Rigby was the first one out the door as he ran down the hall to the science room.
He waited by the door, impatiently tapping his foot as his friend soon walked up to him.
Mordecai blinked in confusion as he looked around, seeing other kids just now leaving their classrooms.
"How did you get here so fast?" he asked as he and Rigby walked down the hall toward the exit.
"I ran, duh," Rigby replied as the two left the building and headed toward the bus loop.
Mordecai chuckled. "Of course you did, dude. Come on, we'll miss our buses if we don't hurry."
Rigby then saw Don walking over to them and he grabbed Mordecai's arm to stop him.
"Wait," the small raccoon said as Mordecai looked down at him, "Follow my lead."
Mordecai's eyebrows rose in question until he saw Don approaching them.
He rolled his eyes. "Fine, but don't be mean to him."
"Yeah, yeah," Rigby whispered as Don stopped in front of them.
"Hey, how were your last two classes?" the tall raccoon asked his brother.
Rigby forced a smile as he glanced up at his younger brother. "Great, great. Me and Mordecai are gonna walk home. You go ahead and get on the bus."
"Can I come with you guys?" Don asked taking a step toward them.
Rigby pulled on Mordecai's sleeve and took a few steps back. "That's okay. I'm sure your friends wanna see you."
Don just smiled and nodded before turning around to get on the bus.
"God, he's an idiot," Rigby muttered as he dragged Mordecai behind him on the sidewalk.
Mordecai sighed as he let the frustrated raccoon pull him along. "You're not much better, dude."
Rigby let go of Mordecai's arm and turned around to glare up at the bird. "I just can't stand him! He follows me around like I'm the only person in the world."
"That's how you act around me, Rigby," Mordecai said with a small smile.
Rigby threw his arms in the air and scowled. "No I don't!"
Mordecai's smile turned to a smirk. "Yes it is, man. You cling to me exactly the way Don does to you."
Mordecai tried not to laugh as Rigby blushed and crossed his arms. "H-hey! I'm not clingy like Don!" Rigby yelled.
"Yeah you are. You can't go anywhere without me and you never leave my side," Mordecai said.
Rigby's ears lowered and he looked at the ground. "Shut up," he mumbled. "I don't act like Don."
Mordecai grinned before kneeling down. "You act nothing like Don.." Rigby finally looked up when he heard this.
"Minus the fact that you're both clingy," Mordecai finished. Rigby's blush deepened and he turned around to walk away.
Mordecai hid his smile as he stopped Rigby from walking away and turned him around. "Hey, no need to be upset. I'm just messing with you."
"Yeah, well I don't like you messing with me," Rigby grumbled.
"I'm sorry, dude. Let's go home," Mordecai said before standing up.
Rigby said nothing as he followed Mordecai in silence.
"But seriously, Rigby," Mordecai said after a few minutes as the raccoon looked up at him, "It's amusing how much you depend on me."
Rigby growled and punched Mordecai in the shoulder. "Shut up! You take that back!"
Mordecai laughed before ruffling Rigby's hair. "Nope."
Rigby then proceeded to punch the bird the whole walk home.
