Mordecai's POV

"W-What?" I Blushed, trying to clean myself up a bit, I have some bed head. "Well, not like a real date, I mean like if you want to run some errands with me and get some coffee." Benson rubbed the back of his neck. "Sure, ill go take a shower." "Ok, ill come back in a bit." Benson blushed, slipping out of the room. "What's his problem?" Rigby sneered, scampering toward me. "He invited me to do some errands with him," "so?" "He called it a date." I smiled despite myself.

"Dont get your hopes up, ok?" He patted my head with a sad smile. "I know." I jumped out of bed, suddenly eager to start my day. I felt so happy i actually sang in the shower. I sang an old 80's song, The water drowning out my soft voice. I got out of the shower, drying myself and fixed my hair.

As I walked out of the shower I literally bumped into Benson. "Oh hey are you ready?" "Y-Yeah lets go." I followed him out to his truck, slipping into the passenger seat. "So what are we going to do?" I asked nervously. "Ah well, we have to pick up some flowers from the florist's for the parks new garden, red and white roses, and some wood for its fence, and we have to pick up some stuff for Skips, if we hurry we can get some coffee, I hear there's going to be alot of rain later."

The drive to the florists is a long one, but its awhile before I ask the question tha'ts been tugging at my brain. "H-Hey Benson? Why did you invite me here?" I stared at my lap with embaressment. "Well, I felt like I offended you, and I mean like, your a good guy Mordecai but I dont like you that way, but I know that anyone would be lucky to have just a little bit of your affection."

"T-Thanks Benson, that means alot." I blushed. We got to the florist's awhile later, Benson went to talk to the cashier while I browsed around. The store was filled with the most beautiful flowers. There were rows and rows of delicate orchids. But one particular Medley caught my eye.

It had red, purple and blue flowers. I picked it up and stared at the bouquet, they were wonderful, so I went to another cashier and bought the bunch. "H-Hey Mordecai, come help me with these boxes." Benson huffed, he strained to carry the box of flowers. "Oh of course!." I hurried over and helped him, still holding my own flowers.

We finished loading the flowers and I put my flowers in the truck, and helped put the wood in the back of the truck. "Ok, now to get Skips' stuff." Benson sighed, reving the truck up. "What did Skips need?" I asked, holding my flowers close to my chest. "He just needed some tea and herbs." Benson replied curtly. "After that were do you want to get coffee?" "Oh it doesnt matter." I blushed. My heart beat rapidly while I talked to him. "I know a good coffee shop a ways away, but it takes awhile to get there. So unless you dont mind getting caught in the rain." "Oh its ok, I like being in the rain."

My eyes widened, i'd never told anyone but Rigby that. I must really do Love Benson. "Yeah me too, I'm always stressed, but standing in the cooling rain helps." My heart skipped a beat,He had just explained the exact reason why I liked the rain as well. "I know right? Oh by the way those flowers were gorgeous, who picked them out?" I looked behind me at the flowers.

"Oh I did, Pops wanted more flowers but he let me pick them out." Benson explained. "Oh." "Those flowers you bought are pretty, those colors look familiar." "Yeah." I whispered fondly.It didnt take long to get to the store for Skips' things. "This will only take a few minutes so you can wait here if you want."

"Ok." I Finally relaxed, being near Benson when he wasn't yelling was nerve wracking, I slid down my seat. When Benson got in the truck I dont know, the mix of a summer breeze and the scent of sweet flowers lulled me to sleep. When I did wake up Benson was driving the truck in silence. I didnt want to startle him so I stayed quiet and kept my eyes slightly closed.

After awhile we came to a stop. "Hey Mordecai." He whispered, I continued to pretend, if I were really asleep, him whispering wouldn't have woken me up anyway. He unbuckled his seat. "Mordeca-" He went to shake me but he lost balance and kissed me square on the lips.

The only thing I could hear was the pitter patter of rain and my heart beating rapidly. Benson pulled away, only to lean over and kiss me again, his soft lips against mine. My heart soared. I had a small bit of hope. I expected him to pull away now, what I didnt expect was for him to kiss me again and a fourth time. It took everything I had not to kiss back. By the sixth kiss I needed to see what he'd do, so I slowly opened my eyes.

"B-Benson." I whispered shyly against his lips as he went for another kiss. He kissed me one last time before pulling back and getting out of the car. He went around and opened my door, and we walked into the coffee shop silently. We sat at a table and waited to be waited. "B-Benson I-I" "Mordecai i'm so sorry, I hurt you, tell you I dont like you but then I go around and kiss you, i'm sorry i'm not trying to mess with you." He blushed. "The first time I kissed you was an accident but then I saw you and you looked so beautful and you smelled like your flowers, I-I just couldn't help it.'" I blushed deeply.

"Its ok Benson, I guess, but please I have to know if it meant anything to you." I asked earnestly, my chest clenched tight, as well as my hands that were at my side. "I-I, I think so." He looked away, guilty. I slid my hand and cupped Benson's hand. He turned to face me and kissed me. This time I kissed back immediately, Though the moment was short lived. "Um Hi may I help you?" A girl had come to wait our table. "Oh, sorry, yeah ill just have a cup of coffee, pumpkin flavoured, Thank you." I smiled politely. "Ah just some plain coffee, please."

"Ok," She smiled brightly and left with our orders. my face was a deep red I was sure of it, I felt feverishly hot. I gulped down some water that was previously given to me by the girl, I hadn't noticed. "Are you ok Mordecai?" Benson looked at me with concern. "Yeah why?" "Because your face is all red."

"Um yeah im fine." I brushed it off. "Its pouring outside, do you want to relax a bit?" Benson asked this as our drinks came. "Um, but dont you want to drink your coffee?" "Well the only reason I wanted to come here was to talk with you, but we can talk later, you dont look so good." Benson slid out of his seat and pulled me up into him, he left money for the drinks and led me outside.

He leaned me against the wall of the shop, the rain poured over us like a blanket of cool silk. I sighed with relief, the cold water cooled me down. I kept my eyes closed, I felt Benson kiss my cheek, rainwater slid off his face. He put his forehead against mine.
