'Rei, hmm. I love it.'
'You do?!'
'Yeah, I do.'
'Well then. . . I'm glad I finally got to meet you, Rei.'
'I'm glad to have finally met you too, Rigby.'
I smiled and held the pendant in my hand with a warm smile on my face. I knew he had one too.
So this is you, Rei?
Now...
The day went off as usual. Nothing exciting happened, I just talked with my brother the entire day asking questions and getting to know each other better. I worked more then I normally do and I didn't talk with Mordecai and i knew that was troubling him with how much he was looking at me with concern.
I didn't want to talk to him, not after what he said that night. It hurt but I knew he didn't mean it, that's what hurt. Its that he had to say all that just to get to be wit someone i know will hurt him. She doesn't love as much as he thinks she does, otherwise she would have noticed him long ago when he took care of her and tried to keep her out of harms way. All that she is after are his looks, his attention, his heart just to end up tearing it and dumping it in the trash. I didn't want that to happen o him, but he's too deep in love with her, I can't do anything.
I planned on not talking to him the entire day but I can't not talk to him when he talks to me first. I was deep in thought that ii didn't notice he was right beside me until he cleared his throat to get my attention. I jumped back a little when I noticed him.
"Hey, Rigby are you okay? I noticed you've been very quiet all day. Is there something wrong?" He asked concern taking over this face
'Yeah somethings wrong, the fact that i'm in love with my best friend but he doesn't feel the same and It's tearing me apart that I have to see him be with someone else!!!' I thought. Of course I could never tell him that.
"I'm fine, j-just think. . . that's all. SO, what's up dude?" I said. I was being honest, I was thinking. Maybe thinking too much is bad for me. Shit, thinking is defiantly too bad for me. I should never be alone with my thoughts, they always have such colorful things to say. Too colorful they hurt and choke me.
'Hey, Riggs. Its okay i'm here, they can't hurt you if i'm with you'
I smiled wider after hearing that.
"Okay, I-If you say so. Anyway, I was hoping that. . . if you could maybe. . . do the rest of the. . . w-work? PLEASE! I have something. . . that I have to do. . .please?" He asked with such nervousness that I've only seen that had to do with Margaret. I knew what this is about now. He had a date with Margaret.
"Sure but you owe me bro!" I said in a playful tone in an attempt to hide my. . . pain. I felt something in me tug and ache and I realized, Rei was feeling my pain. He was feeling my pain and he was trying to take it all so that I wouldn't feel it.
"Thanks dude! You're the best, i'll make it up to you! Thanks again!" He said before turning around and running inside to get ready for his date. I smiled until I was sure he was inside and when he was out of sight I let my smile fall and i looked to the floor. I wanted to cry but held on to them. I looked up and noticed that Skips was looking at me in the distance with a sympathetic look. He must have seen the entire thing.
I looked at him and gave him a sad smile. No point in hiding what was clearly there. He started to walk closer and when he was in front of me, he looked at me and smiled extending his arms. I gave in and hugged him. I hugged him tight and let a couple tears fall. He just hugged me and patted my back. I pulled back and smiled big as a sort of thank you. He smiled back and ruffled my hair in a playful way.
Even if I had a younger brother, even if I had and twin that I just me, I had Skips to fill in the role of big bro. He was very protective and in a way he was also a father figure, and I also kinda made Benson the mother figure. I had accidentally caught him and Benson going at it in his office. It was disturbing but I secretly shipped it. Pop's is the only one in this park that is straight. In fact he's the only one that doesn't have someone they like or is fucking.
I giggle at that and I can hear my brother snort before I hear him laugh hard. It makes me laugh hard too. I look at Skips and he just looks at me with an amused smile and a raised eyebrow before he asks why i'm laughing.
"Oh nothing, by the way did you know that Benson's got a lover? Yep, it's true I heard them going at it in his office. Man I never thought Benson swung that way. Whoever they are they where good, he was loud and after that day he seemed less tense." I said looking to side a bit with a small evil smirk on my face. I turned to look at Skips and he was blushing so hard and I could have sworn I saw sweat rolling down his forehead. "Well, who ever they were I think they were more then good. He was all calm for longer then a week. Thank the man who made our lives easy and Benson's pleasurable!" When I looked over at Skips again He was even more red.
"Huh yeah, well glad you're back to normal. I'm gonna go now!" He said in a hurry as he was turning around to head back inside, no doubt to talk to Benson, I spoke up again.
"Oh are you going to see Benson again, next time do it a little more quieter or do it when no one is home." That froze him in his spot. He slowly turned around to look at me with a face of horror . He was choked up in his words he couldn't say anything. I only laughed and smiled at him."Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. Plus you guys are so cute together. I ship it! This will be our secret and do make him happy, he's better when he's got you." I smiled at him again and he relaxed and smiled back.
"Thanks, and . . . i'm sorry. . . about Mordeca-" he said but was interrupted by that person.
"Well i'm off. Thanks again for helping me out Riggs. I owe you one! Bye, see you later !!!" Mordecai said as he walked out of the house and towards the golf park. I turned to him and nodded and waved. Once he was a good distance away I turned back to Skips and again like before he was looking at me with the same look as before.
"Rigby, I'm so sorry. . . I don't. . . It will. . .I'm sorry" It was all he said, It was all he could say. I didn't expect him to say something that I hadn't already heard or known. I looked at him as a rush of cold air swept by smiled at him with a face that said nothing but showed it all. I lone tear fell down my face and I just smiled at him with eyes closed and nodded.
He sighed and was going to open his mouth to say something but I just shook my head and still with eyes closed put a finger to my lips in a shushing manner and said in a soft voice, "This will be our secret" He sighed again and looked down with eyes closed and nodded. He then walked inside and i was left standing in the cold all alone with Rei.
'Hey, It's okay. I'm here for -'
'No. It's okay, you don't have to say any of that. I know i have you. So don't worry. Lets just finish this work and be done for the day.' and that is exactly what we did.
Hey, look another chapter done. Oh but look at the time! It's too early for this or is it lat e. . . Idk the point is I didn't sleep at all! All I did was wright this . . . and watch movies, and kpop, and anime raps, and SnK videos, okay maybe that was all my fault but they were all so funny and some were sad.
