Secret boyfriend (3 months, 9weeks)
Another day was another day to work at the park. Mordecai had fallen asleep on the couch from last night. He was waiting for Rigby to come back home from his date, but he got a text message last night. To give him a reason to not picking his buddy up.
'Dude, I won't need a ride back home, later.'
Mordecai first thought Rigby actual got lucky, but never got a text message after that text. He heard the front door opening, Rigby walked inside, closing the front door slowly, and quickly climb back upstairs.
Mordecai flop off the couch and walk over to the stairs. Rigby was already in the bedroom. He made his way back into his room. Rigby was pulling off his shirt and shorts, he saw Mordecai coming in the room giving him a caught you look. Mordecai walk passed him to sit on his own bed.
"Dude, how was your date last night?"
"Oh um. . . it was alright, I guess you know."
"I can't believe you went to second base with her already."
Rigby finally got his shirt pull off and drop it on the ground. He walk back to his small bed, and explain what really happen.
"She kind of ditch me at the coffee shop, all because I didn't want to kiss her."
"Wha? That's weird, who kisses someone you hardly know them."
"Exactly! I mean she was hot but I just thought that was too fast. Ugh maybe I shouldn't have kiss her, man."
"Dude it's cool, you just probably find another one and take that chance when it comes around."
Mordecai then notice on how if Rigby didn't go to her house. Where did he go last night?
"Where were you last night if you didn't went to her house?"
Rigby pause and pull his blanket closer to his face. He then gave him an answer.
"I found someone else at the coffee shop and um spent the night over this someone place."
"What's this persons name? If it's a dude I'm not going to judge you man."
"Well...he's nice and understood me...I find him to be okay person."
"That's great Rigby, um what's his name?"
Rigby retreat back in his pile of clothes and didn't feel like speaking. Mordecai was waiting for his answer, but it sounded like he was sleeping. Knowing he probably won't get an answer, he pull himself to work outside.
He came to the morning meeting about 10 minutes early. Even Benson was surprise that he came early, but began putting up the white board. Writing down the chores of today and later for the week. Finally minutes had passed and everyone began to show up. Everyone expect Rigby.
"Okay I know were one man down short on the job, we all know why. But I have things for you guys to do today. I just got another event coming up. So this park needs to look it's best."
Back in the house Rigby was struggle sleeping, since last night he had an amazing night. He could remember he was talking for the entire night and never felt any better since last night. But as he was finally getting himself comfortable in bed; his phone began buzzing. He turn to see it was him again. Rigby slouch to the side and read the text message.
'I'm free today around 3pm, do you wanna hang out?'
Rigby pause for bit to remember the night before and a soft blushed appear on his checks, he return his attention to his phone. He texted him back saying sure.
He replied back 'I pick you at the parking lot then. And make sure not to eat, I want to take you eat first.'
Rigby wasn't sure if his stomach even allowed him to eat anything today. Not like other days where he couldn't keep anything in for a second.
As the morning was falling into the afternoon it was already 12pm. Rigby was having a small walk around the park, mostly picking up random objects or throwing stones in the pond. He went back inside the house for a lunch break. As Rigby enter the kitchen he felt his body was warming up and decided to just lay on the cool kitchen flood.
"Uh what are you doing Rigby?" a familiar voice spoke out to Rigby.
Rigby open an eye, seeing his best buddy standing above him but cover with some dirt on his face.
"Hmmm my body feels hot for some reason. I mean it's only 72 degrees outside, but I feel so hot ugh."
"Ohhhh okay, do you want me to make you something dude?"
"Um, I'm good I have a date with that guy around 3pm, he's going to take me out to eat somewhere."
"That's like in 3 hours man, you gotta have something at least."
"Fine, can you make me a smoothie? I want something that won't fill me up so quickly."
Mordecai began taking out the fruits from the fridge and dumping them into the blander. After the fruits were turn into slush, he then grab a green cup to pour the fruity drink and. And handing it to Rigby.
"So anywhere else you guys are going after the bite?"
"Hmmm I'm not sure, but probably somewhere simple"
"How about here at the park, who doesn't like coming to a park haha"
"So you guys can spy on me, yea no"
Rigby began drinking his smoothie while Mordecai made himself a sandwich. As things were quite clam, in came Muscle Man and HFG. The two coming inside very loud and smelling like a sweaty sock.
"Hey, look it's Rigby baby ha-ha"
"Shut up Muscle Man, if you were in my situation you probably uh um just shut up!
"Ha-ha-ha can't even make a come back move, how lame"
"Lay off Muscle Man, Rigby is just going through something that's I don't know weird"
"Look Mordecai, I know what's he's going through, but come on man it's something hard not to make a joke ha-ha"
Rigby looked annoyed how Muscle Man continue making more jokes about his appearance. His phone began buzzing in his pocket, he pick his phone and saw it was him texting.
'My class was cancel today, so you want me to come over?'
Rigby hoped off from his chair before leaving the kitchen Muscle Man was asking why Rigby was in a rush for. Rigby quickly walk upstairs, to grab one of his extra large red shirt and pulling it on. He then texted back saying, 'yea, I'm ready to go'
Mordecai walked back upstairs to check on his friend. When upon opening the door, Rigby was already out of the door.
"Dude where are you going?"
"Um well plans change and he's coming over earlier, so I catch you later"
Mordecai aw on the situation but ask an his last-minute question.
"So what's the guy name Rigby? I mean if he has the name as me then were going to have a problem ha-ha. . ."
"Wha-wha? No man, it's totally not and it's uh-"
The phone was vibrating again in his hand. Rigby look up and gave a blissful grin. He slowly made his way downstairs; along with Mordecai following right behind him. As Rigby was reaching the door knob it open first. Benson came inside and grab a hold on Mordecai.
"Mordecai I need to ask a big favor, if that is alright with you"
"Later bro!"
Rigby left the house as quick as he can and had a good reason. He was hoping his wobbling to the park lot was fast enough. As for Mordecai who was caught in a bundle.
"Look I got a doctor's appointment in 30 minutes and will be gone for a couple of hours" He handed Mordecai his clipboard and fanny pack, "So your going to be in charge of the park for next couple of hours" He patted Mordecai on the back, "I be back one hour before work is over"
By the time Benson had finish, Mordecai rush his way to the door. To only catch Rigby jumping in the car. The car did a three-point turn and left. No point finding out who this dude was now. Benson asked what was he looking for outside. Mordecai explain how he wanted to catch a gimps of Rigby's secret boyfriend. From this day Rigby had been going out lately a lot. On his first date they went to talk a walk around a large lake where cranes would appear. The second date they went to North Hollywood to walk around the city and enjoy having a dinner at a diner. By the third date Rigby was getting somewhat comfortable with this guy, they went to the aquarium with the biggest fish in state. By their fourth date they order a take out and went to his place for the night.
Rigby was learning more and more on how to be comfortable with somebody else. In his situation it was a bit hard to understand. But he was surprise his partner understood what happen to him, a little weird out. Sooner or later it became water under the bridge. The two enjoyed being around one another. Rigby could be considered a walking heater to him. They were laying together on the couch shoulder to shoulder, while munching on their Chinese take out. Rigby glance at him,
"So um Jeremy what do you want to do tomorrow?"
His partner looked over at him and shrug his shoulders replying, "I was wondering we could Dave & Bobby: Arcade and Dinner" he didn't need to hear an answer from Rigby. Hearing him gasp in pure excitement. Everything about him was really unexpected, Jeremy embrace him closer pulling his arm around Rigby.

It was Tuesday foggy morning you can see the sun peaking from the morning dew clouds. Mordecai got up from his bed, he rub his eye's. Looking over to Rigby's bedside, expect his friend wasn't there. He's been staying over this guys house. It was last week he had seen Rigby. He sigh and remember the last conversation he had with him.
"Rigby where have you been? you been gone for like half of the week."
"Dude, I was just chilling you know with him."
"I don't know who's this him, why won't you tell me his name or anything about him."
"If you keep asking me I won't tell you naturally, I am feeling a bit over pressure with you."
Mordecai watch him grabbing his backpack and throwing random shirts in and zipping it up. He gave one more look at Mordecai and left.
Mordecai was staring his hands that were place on his lap. He wish he didn't upset him. He knew he was because he haven't answer his text messages. Well at least it's a new day, so probably he come back to the park today.
Downstairs Benson, Skips, and Pops were enjoying their morning coffee. Benson was making one if his adult jokes with Skips. Pops was just laughing along unknowing what they were talking about.
"Ha-ha. oh Benson that joke never gets old"
"Skips if you think that was a joke wait till you hear this one ha-ha"
Benson was cupping his mouth to control his laughter.
Mordecai was standing close to the kitchen. He didn't want to bring his sad vibes bring everyone down. He walked himself outside to sit on the porch. And what luck he actual saw the person he was waiting.
Rigby hop out of the car and giving a hug to his 'boyfriend'. Mordecai couldn't believe his own eyes, out of everyone in this city he chooses him. He didn't move an inch and wanted Rigby to get to the door. As the car drift its way out of the park. Rigby was munching on a biscuit, but almost choke on it.
"Ah! Mordecai what are you doing outside so early ha-ha-ha. . ."
"Rigby really? Out of everyone you could possibly find, it's him!"
Rigby finish his breakfast and walked over to the porch "I know it was the last person you think I will be with, but he's a really great person."
"Don't you remember how he and his other friend tried to take our jobs?"
"Yes I do, but that's long gone forgotten and plus he apologize about it."
Mordecai wasn't sure if the guy was for real or faking it. He just doesn't want to see Rigby get hurt. Since Rigby always cared about him and Margaret's relationship, its only fair if he cares about his bro too.
The two walk back inside, Rigby dropping his backpack on the floor and flop onto the couch. He was happy to be back, but he mostly just miss his video games.
Mordecai walked over to the couch and jumping on too. He asked if Rigby wanted to play some games, his raccoon friend nodded his head. As the game was turning on, Benson walked into the room with a cup of coffee in his hand.
"Well, well someone's back from who knows where."
"Oh hey Benson, you notice I was gone?"
"Yeah, no one was eating the food in the fridge for a whole week."
Rigby gave a soft smile, he was happy that he was missed. But he was more happy that he got great partner. It just be a bit awkward for him because Mordecai now knows who the special guy was.
They were playing for a while before Benson entering the room again. He was asking everyone to meet him in the front of house for a meeting. The two groan and move their way outside. When everyone was outside, Benson was standing outside with his clipboard.
"Now that everyone is here, I have some news to say, I'm not sure how to say this" he look again at his clipboard, "Since were down with one guy, I was thinking hiring another one"
There was mutters and chatter with the group. They were somewhat okay, but wanted to know if the new guy can be okay with them.
"This guy isn't going to be a dork or worse a nerd" asked Muscle Man.
"I think it will be a good thing having another helping hand, Mordecai is working on his own for two." said Skips.
"It was just a suggest guys, we don't have the money to paid someone else. But if something comes up well you be seeing someone working with you guys."
Rigby slouch on his back, since him and Mordecai were sitting on the top of the stairs. He laid his back and have himself a good stretch. These meetings don't really matter to him anymore, he can't work anymore or for a while.
He closed his eyes and started to remember his date on Sunday. It was him and Jeremy, they were enjoying their food well poking one another. Jeremy won Rigby a glow in the dark bracelet. And Rigby got him a candy bracelet. The two were happy playing the games, everything was going so well that night. It was till Rigby was feeling tired close to 1a.m.
As they were walking back to the car, Jeremy got in first to warm up the car. Rigby enter in the car feeling a bit cold but soon felt the warmth of the hot air blowing on his face. He turn his face towards Jeremy's direction but end up seeing Jeremy lending over to kiss him. But Rigby push him away, he didn't want to kiss him.
'What?Why was he going to kiss me? I-I don't understand.'
The white ostrich look at him and shifted his eyes away, he felt a bit hurt and place his hands on the wheel. He felt awkward what just happen, he wanted to show him, he care for Rigby and wasn't just using him. The smaller raccoon place his hands on Jeremy's arm, yanking his sweater strings to face him. Rigby couldn't control the colors of his face were changing to, all he knew it felt too hot. He grab Jeremy by the face, what he didn't knew tears were running down his face. He was scared. Rigby had an haunted expression, too terrified to move from the stare the other one was giving him. Jeremy gently grab his small arms and brought his face close to Rigbys. As now their noses now were inches away one another, their lips were close but barely touching close, Jeremy could feel the warmth of Rigby's face was radiating from his checks.
"If you don't feel comfortable about this, I'm okay waiting . . ."
A small pause from the white ostrich and next thing happen. He felt the lips of the other one crushing on the side of his own lips. His small brown hands grip tightly on the others arms. Tears sliding down on his face, he was thinking to himself. What the hell I'm doing, why I'm feeling like this. The kiss was short and soft, but delighted.
Rigby had his eyes tightly closed shut, he was wishing he was dreaming so he could wake up. But it didn't stop right there.
Jeremy came in closer and place his hands into his shoulders, he kissed him back. He tried to push his tongue into the other one's mouth, it took a few seconds for Rigby opening his mouth. The raccoon grip his hands tighter on the red sweater, yanking it towards him. Whatever this hot feeling that's happening in his stomach is getting hotter. Jeremy suddenly just push himself on top of Rigby, his breathing was getting heavier and his stomach was on fire. This feeling in his stomach was just more than butterflies. Rigby remain where he was seating, a bit confused on what's going on.
But, it soon came to clear he felt a hand groping his crotch. Rigby eyes widen, he let out a some squeak, and push Jeremy a bit off. He cover himself with his hoodie and his now embarrassed face. Jeremy sat back on his own seat, he place his face on his shoulder.
". . . I'm sorry. . . um got carry away. . ."
"It's okay, I didn't mean to do that. . . I think it's um you know early to do that. . ."
Jeremy was a bit too embarrassed to say anything, his actions were little mischievous. He thought Rigby was asking for it, since he was yanking his sweater and all, but all he was doing enjoying the kissing. He grab a blanket from the back and gave it to Rigby. The ride back to his place was about two hours. Rigby asked to hold his hand, their fingers intertwine. Jeremy felt it was nice for the first time he had a relationship that was actual slow. He wanted to get to third base but waiting for it, he wanted to see how long can he wait. The drive back was quiet, with the radio on low volume, and Rigby by his side, and sleeping while holding his hand.
GOING TO SAY THIS FIRST, Jeremy was NOT going to "rape" Rigby.
If it felt like a trig then tell me. I take trigs serious and I will change it.
If these upcoming chapters sound short to you, then it's a whole lot easier for me.
I feel like when I make the chapter long I tend to get a writer's block.
But I will probably make a few a bit long, but that's later on so yeah.
Next chapter coming soon!
