Just Friends (Mordecai x Reader)

Chapter 10 - She's Working Here?!

Mordecai's Point Of View
"Come on, everyone! It's time for a park meeting!" Me and Rigby both groaned loudly because of Benson's screaming from outside.

"Dude, you've gotta be kidding me," I said in a very unmotivated, tired, and annoyed tone.

"Uuuggh, why's he doing this to us?! I just want to sleeeeep," Rigby complained.

I looked over towards Rigby as I saw him sleeping in between the pile of clothes on his trampoline. I just yawned and went back to bed, pulling my blanket over my head.

"COME ON, EVERYONE! DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW OR YOU'RE ALL FIRED!!"

"I'm really starting to get tired of this guy..." I said, slowly sitting up. I, reluctantly, got out of bed and the second the blanket was off me completely, the cold air hit me like a brick, "why's it so cold?"

Rigby groaned some more and tried to stand, only to get his foot caught on a shirt and fall.

"Ow...man, this sucks, but you are right about the air being cold. I hope Pops didn't mess with the thermostat again."

"He probably did. Now, we have to change it back but for now dude, let's just go downstairs before Benson blows a fuse," he nodded as his big raccoon eyes were filled with sleepiness, "it'll be over before you know it."

"I sure hope so, man. I'm so tired, I feel like my eyelids are being forced shut by some sort of sleep monster," he mumbled as his eyes were literally closing. Next thing I know, I see him walking into the door, "Ow..again.."

"You're an idiot," I opened the door and we both walked out and into the hallway.

"I'm not an idiot. Benson's the idiot for waking us up so early. "

We went downstairs and through the front door where everyone one else was already sitting on the front steps. Me and Rigby sat in the middle. Benson glared at us.

"You two are always the last one to come on time to anything," I didn't respond because I just wanted to go back to bed but Rigby never knows when to shut his mouth.

"Hey man, it's your fault for making get up this early! We wouldn't be this tired if you woke us up later in the day!" I sighed in aggravation.

"Rigby shut up or you're fired!" Benson yelled as he started to turn a little pink.

I could tell Rigby wasn't going to go down without a little fight so before he could say anything else, I elbowed him in his side, "shut up, seriously or we'll be here forever."

He said a quiet, "ow," and rubbed his side. He looked straight ahead and Benson started with his meeting.

"Alright. We understand that this place is a place where everyone does their part to make everybody feel like a part of our team. Our family," I yawned and started to zone out through it.

My mind started to wonder. Margaret and her beautiful red feathers came into my thoughts and I smiled softly to myself. I hummed quietly. Suddenly, (Y/N), pushed through my thoughts of Margaret and occupied it. I felt weird when she came into my head, but I didn't mind.

I actually liked it.

"Welcome our newest member...(Y/N) (L/N)!!"

My eyes shot open as heard her name ring through my ears. When I looked besides Benson I saw the black, blue, and white bird in front of me. My heart started to race as our eyes met. Her (e/c) shined in the morning sun and she smiled at me.

Her smiled really brought a warm feeling into me. I smiled back and waved a little. I heard everyone clap furiously. I'm guessing they all know who she was.

I felt Rigby nudge my arm. I looked over at him and scoffed, "stop it."

"Why? We both know you have a thing for her. Man, it was obvious from day one," he laughed and gave one of his stupid smirks.

"I said stop or you're going to regret it," I gave him a glare and lifted my fist. He immediately covered his mouth and look forward with an annoyed face expression.

I looked forward as well and saw her staring at me, but right when our eyes met, she looked away with a flushed look on her face.

Adorable...

Working with her wouldn't be so bad but I wonder why she got so upset that day. Why she just stormed out of the coffee shop. Eileen was the only one there with her and she just said that she "doesn't know".

Benson went to talk to get and he came back and explained to me and Rigby that she was very sick and needed some space. Of course, all we could do was give her that but I wanted to see her. Now, she's working at the park and I can see her everyday.

Thinking that really puts a smile on my face.

What in Earth am I thinking? I mean, I've been in love with Margaret for years and I could never confess. She probably doesn't even like me.

So, why do I feel weird about this?

Muscle Man stands up and rips his shirt off, "whoooo! When got ourselves a new worker!"

Both me and Rigby gag in our mouths as we see Muscle Man's "flabs" moving around. Not only that but his sweat was already falling from his body. How did he even become sweaty? He wasn't even doing anything.

"Sit down, Muscle Man. Everyone, I hope you welcome (Y/N) with open arms and don't mess with me because I know her father," he said chuckling while wrapping an arm around her shoulders.

Everyone clapped once more and she smiled a little weirdly with bright cheeks. Clearly, flustered about Benson making such a big deal about it.

"Alright, you all can go back to sleep, but make sure to be up by this afternoon. We have stuff to do. I have to show (Y/N) to the-"

Rigby interrupted Benson by raising his hand, "hey, Benson! Can Mordecai show her to the extra room!? He said that you work too much and you should be able to sleep more."

My eyes widened as Benson looked over at me, "is this true, Mordecai? Do you actually want to help out and not just trying to bother (y/n)?"

I rubbed the back of my neck and looked away, "uh, yeah. I want to help out a little early because I know you work a lot and..." I trailed off because I didn't know what to say. Stupid Rigby for getting me in this situation!

Benson rose an eyebrow and leaned over to (y/n). As he whispered in her ear she looked up at me, blushing. She nodded as he finished and pat his shoulder.

"Alright, I'll leave (y/n) with you. I'm going home to get some rest but if you decide to go to sleep make sure you get up before 1:30. As I said before, we have a lot of things to do. I'll see you guys later and if anything happens (y/n), let me know," he glared at me and I felt a little uneasy. He waved and went into his car.

I looked over at Rigby and he was already up the stairs, "Rigby!?"

"Hey man, thank me later," he shrugged and went into the house. I looked down at (y/n) and she was just looking around, playing with tail feathers.

Oh man, this probably won't end well...

Hello! I made this chapter a little longer for my absence. I've been dealing with a bit of stuff, so I'll be posting a little late. Forgive me, please!
