Zoo (3 months, 12 weeks)

The day was warm, bright, and beautiful as for Jeremy who wanted to get away from school and spent more time with Rigby. He decided to visit an old friend and going another date. He had told Rigby where they were going, he wasn't happy but he go for Jeremy to see his buddy. Rigby knew it was important for bros to hang out once in a while.

The car drive to the zoo was only about an hour, but it didn't took long for Rigby taking a quick nap. Jeremy couldn't help to think, how he's allowing himself to get close to someone. He was only hoping to sleep with Rigby on that night he found him. But somehow he felt pity for him and here he was now with him. And here he was going to another date with this very emotional raccoon.

They finally arrive to the park, Jeremy shook the sleeping raccoon. Rigby had a good nap since the sun was beaming on his side of the car. It didn't take long for him to waking up and looking confused where he was.

"Hey man were here."

Rigby blink a couple times to remember where they where and clean out his eyes. He pulled his sweater from the back and tug it on. Jeremy grab his school backpack, he brought something for his friend and water bottles. Its been a while since Rigby had been to a zoo, his childhood zoo went out of business a long time ago. So coming to the zoo was nice, he did enjoy seeing the animals doing there own things. Jeremy and Rigby walked up to the ticket booth. Jeremy stop to see some signs, it seem it was going to be a busy day.

They began walking to the gates when Jeremy asked Rigby to wait. The raccoon looked around to see there were lots of people, with there families and friends in groups. And he even notice the restrooms, he look around for Jeremy and thought it be real quick.

Jeremy went up to one of the desks and asked for his friend's gift, the lady gave him a disdain expression and handed him two purple bracelets, free passes for the park and entertainment. He took the tickets and thank her but it didn't really help for the awkward situation. He made his way back to where he left Rigby standing.

Rigby saw there was a huge line for the restroom, he look around to see bushes. He look around if anyone was watching him or near by. He scurry his way in the bushes.

Jeremy came back to the spot where he left Rigby, but when he came back to the spot. It seem like the raccoon was no where to be seen. He look around, calling for his name, getting worried and a bit scared. what could have happen to him or where did go?

As he felt he had no choice in the end, he started to walk around to look for his missing child. But he didn't seem to go far, when he felt a tug on his jacket. Rigby was smiling at him saying he went to use the restroom before they go in. He notice the look on Jeremy's face and asked what up with him, but he didn't get an answer when Jeremy began walking away.

They continue walking back to why they came here in the first place. It didn't take long for Jeremy to see his friend. He was lending his back to a large metal pole, he was wearing blue plaid shirt with a white t-shirt under, and with black skinny jeans, but he wasn't wearing any shoes.

"Hey, Travis is that really you? Its been too long since I last saw you."

"Wow, you really did came Jeremy and I see you brought someone along too." looking at Rigby than back Jeremy, "you here for a date with him or moi?"

"I don't see any reason why else I would come here, I wanted to bring Rigby here to where you work. Plus I brought you want you wanted me to bring man."

Rigby was just watching the two men talk and talk, it seem they know each other very well. Jeremy was into his conversation but then notice Rigby was looking around.

"Rigby, I almost forgot to tell you, this is my old friend Travis, we been friends since high school and college."

"Yeah, we were also roommates in college but that year was sure something huh Jeremy."

"Besides us always getting really fuck up on the weekends, than I would say yes."

"Mmm Jeremy you always had good taste, this little guy here is a cutie here. I just didn't know you were into chubs now."

"Travis, you know I don't care about people by there looks but who they are, and what's wrong with chubby people."

"He-he nothing man, just keep forgetting you like to hook up with anyone."

The two felt there going to talk forever if they didn't started to walk. They began walking to the first route with Rigby close by to Jeremy. Rigby look over to Jeremy's hand, he somehow felt he wanted to hold his hand. But the thought of wanting to do that, made him feel sick to his stomach.

'What the hell am I thinking about that, get it together Rigby.'

He tried to keep his mind busy while looking at the cage animals. Rigby felt this date wasn't really much feeling like one, when he turn to see Jeremy was still talking to his old college friend, Travis. He shook his head and remember he told Jeremy, he would come for his friend. Like a date is for more boy goes out with a girl, right. But he did enjoy those dates that him and Jeremy go to, but he's not a girl. Rigby end up smacking his face with his hand, where the hell are these thoughts coming from, and why are there here. He turn to see Travis laughing about something before looking over to Rigby.

Rigby examine the strange the young man, he was pretty good looking for his age. But he wonder something about him too, did he knew about his situation. He was friends with Jeremy, and he always see him on his friend. There could be a small possibility that this man knows about his dark and cruel secret. Jeremy and Travis pulled Rigby from where he was standing and made there way to see more.

Half way on there walking trail, they found a rest stop. There was benches and food stands for people to rest. Rigby's stomach was growling loudly, he pull his sweater down. Jeremy hid his smile from him and poke him. Rigby turn to his head towards up to him with his checks booming red.

"Looks like your stomach is hungry, Rigby. How about I get us something to eat, you can sit here when I come back okay."

Jeremy patted Rigby on the head and walk over to the food stands. Rigby was left sitting with Travis, who look like he wanted to ask some questions. Rigby flew his eyes to the corners of his eyes, in all means avoiding anyway talking to this man. He snicker when he saw Rigby was playing hard to get with him.

"Heya cutie, its sure a nice day for a good walk at the zoo, huh."

"Look, I don't want you think I'm some creep, I'm a good old friend to Jeremy, so I pretty much know this guy back and front."

"He did tell me something that was pretty interesting about you, and I got to say this world can't stop surprising me. I'm not going to see any different, I just wanted you to know more about you that's all."

"...Why?"

"It's because I see your different from the others, I can tell Jeremy haven't with slept you yet;"

'Different?'

"I don't think his plans were to go out with you, that night he found you, he was just wanting to have a one night stand. But it seems he kept you around, your good company to him."

"He-he no kidding...I like his company too and he enjoys having me around. I mean, I'm even surprise he can deal with me right now. I'm not surprise he just wanted a one night stand with me."

"Jeremy is a patience man, just don't push his buttons. But you know Rigby, if you can change him then maybe he's opening himself from his walls. But you wanna why, because he's the type of person to really-."

Without a warning Travis felt a fist to his head, Jeremy came back with the food. Rigby was in shock when he saw him getting hit; he didn't see Jeremy coming back. Jeremy was sure enjoying his glory to shutting his friend up. There were things that he didn't want Rigby to know, well yet.

"I got your food Rigby, here is a pizza slice and soft drink."

Jeremy placed his food down and sat next to him too, the two were sharing the same drink, but with different straws. Travis took out a candy bar from his pocket, he wasn't feeling eating the food he ate everyday.

"So when are you two are going to do the dirty business."

Rigby spitted his food out what he just heard and Jeremy just gave him a death glare. Travis was just giving them a cocky smile, waiting for a yes or no, Jeremy wasn't surprise to see his friend would a ask a dumb question like that. always gotta be the pervert.

"Travis, I don't think that's something we want to talk about, plus it's none of your fucking business."

"Oh come on Jeremy, I get bored working here all day. I wanted to spend my week off with you guys. And it wouldn't hurt to know my man getting some, its never any harm to ask he-he."

"I tell if I do you idiot, but please don't bring it up again."

After the awkward silence of eating, Jeremy excuse himself to take a leak. Rigby was once again left alone with Travis, thought it was awkward. Travis felt that he did push Jeremy's buttons, he was hoping he lift up when he came back He look over to Rigby who was finishing up his pizza, he was stuffing his mouth quick as possible. But he waited till was done eating his lunch. Rigby washed down his mouth with the soda, he did wanted to ask the guy something.

"Hey Travis, when you ask if Jeremy had sex with me yet, well he almost try last time."

Travis didn't say anything but continue to listen.

"He and I went out to eat at this really fun place and things kind of got a little hot when we got back to his car. We were kissing for a while till his um hand start grabbing you know. He was groping me and I didn't allowed him to you know. I guess I shouldn't moan or pull his clothes when he kiss me…"

"Ha-ha, Jeremy is quickie type of person, I'm surprise he haven't left you because you haven't slept with him. Yeah, Jeremy likes to take his time and expects someone sleeping with him. He's a nice guy Rigby, I'm just hoping he doesn't feel pity for you, and then it would just sucks."

"You think so, maybe he does feels pity for me because the situation I'm in. Can't blame for anyone who doesn't…but I'm still wondering for myself what he sees in me or what I'm doing."

"Or Jeremy sees you different, like his feeling for you, Rigby. I can see there's a change in his face, your changing him. His eyes have this terrified look, he's afraid he will get attached to you and-"

"Hey Rigby do have to use the restrooms before we start walking again?"

Rigby turn his head around in surprise when he came behind him. He nodded to him, giving Jeremy the soda and walk himself to the restrooms. Jeremy watch Rigby going in the restroom and draw back his attention to his friend. His friend sure did had being a big mouth who was playing on thin ice with Jeremy.

"I hope you aren't getting cozy with him, Travis."

"Shouldn't I be the one telling you that Jeremy, I can see your feeling something for this guy."

"Who's to say I'm or not."

"Come on man, don't put your walls on people anymore. If you keep doing that you're never going to be happy. Try to find the bright side of being with somebody, this little guy feels different from the others and especially from that last one."

Jeremy didn't say anything to his last comment, he turn to see Rigby who was coming out. He walked up to Jeremy, grabbing the soda from him. Jeremy smiled at him and they continue their walk in the park.

After a couple hours of walking, they were only three hours before the park closes. Rigby was already falling asleep in his walk, he lean his body on a light pole. He was completely exhausted from the walking, Travis and Jeremy didn't even notice how much they walk. Jeremy eventually notices that Rigby was walking slower; he was hoping he didn't collapse.

"Hey Jeremy not wanting to scare you or nothing...but um where's your boyfriend?"

Jeremy stop in his tracks and turn to see Rigby had disappeared. This wasn't good, the park was so huge it be hard to find him. Travis said to just retract there own steps and hopefully they find him.

Thankfully they only walk for mile and half to find him sleeping on a bench. Jeremy walk over to him and saw he was out. He was going to wake him but just simply pick him up, it felt weird holding someone. It was cute how he was snuggling his face on his chest. It made his heart skip a beat, before remembering his friend was watching him.

They walk there way back to the car, Jeremy placed Rigby in the back seats. Travis was sitting in the front, he couldn't stop to think what Rigby told him today. He turns to see Jeremy was standing outside the car smoking, Travis step outside to join him.

"You stress out there bird boy."

"Just thinking what I got myself into, the guy is nice but I'm not sure if I can be perfect for him…"

"You still don't feel like your good enough for him huh, Jeremy try not to think that you aren't. Show yourself that you are better then you think."

"It's hard not too, when I'm close to him...my stomach feels funny and my heart races like crazy. I like the feeling but I'm scare it well feel like this for a while."

"Live in the moment with Rigby, ignore those selfish thoughts. For fuck sakes, I hope you aren't thinking about him anymore"

Travis stood by his side till he walked back in the car, leaving that thought for Jeremy to think. It was now his decision to think about his old memories.
