Mordecai's POV

Rigby and I left Benson's office soon and headed for our bedroom.

Benson had given us the day off even though Rigby protested.

Just as we reached the door, Rigby stepped in front of me.

"Dude," he said. "What are we gonna do for the whole day?"

"I don't know about the whole day, but I know what we can do for now," I replied, a big grin on my face.

Rigby's POV

I looked up at Mordecai suspiciously.

I knew that look on his face all too well.

It meant he was planning on messing with me.

"What?" I asked backing up slowly. There was no way of knowing what he would do when he had that expression.

Mordecai grinned even wider. I was getting worried.

"Morde-"

Mordecai's POV

I picked Rigby up and set him on my shoulders and held onto him.

I ran down the hallway and down the stairs.

Rigby started laughing and raised his arms above his head.

I glanced at him confused.

Usually if I did something like this, he'd be angry and start yelling at me.

I smiled and continued running around the house.

"Go outside, dude. There's more room," Rigby said, a huge smile on his face.

"Alright," I replied, walking into the hallway and opening the door to outside.

I ran down the steps and across the park, Rigby shouting joyfully.

We passed Pops, who waved to us. Rigby waved back to him as we sprinted.

It was a little darker and we were lying on the grass, catching our breath.

Rigby was panting, but not as much as me.

He turned his head toward me and grinned at me. I smiled back.

"Thanks, Mordecai. That was really fun."

"No problem, man," I said, glad that Rigby had fun.

I sat up and saw that were all the way on the other side of the park.

"Look how far we are from the house, Rigby," I said, pointing to the house.

Rigby followed my finger and laughed. "I'll never make it back," he said.

I chuckled. "Oh yes you will." I stood up and picked him up.

He nuzzled his head into my chest and wrapped his arms around my neck.

I started walking with Rigby in my arms. As we were nearing the house, Rigby smiled up at me. "You're a great friend, Mordecai."

I ruffled his hair. "Thanks," I said and went up the front steps.

I set Rigby down and opened the door. I chuckled as Rigby scampered in.

I closed the door and followed him into the living room where Skips, Pops, Muscle Man, and Hi-Five Ghost were all sitting on the couch.

"Hey, guys. What's going on?" I asked.

"We all just wanted to talk to Rigby," Skips said, getting off the couch and coming over to us.

He put his hand on RIgby's shoulder. "I'm sorry about Don. I just want you to know we're all here for you, Rigby."

Rigby smiled up at him. "Thanks, Skips."

Pops jumped off the couch and ran over to Rigby, giving him a tight hug.

"I'm so sorry, Rigby. Are you alright?" Rigby chuckled and pat Pops on the back. "Yeah, I'm alright. Thanks, Pops."

Pops let go of him as Muscle Man and Fives came over.

Muscle Man rubbed his neck, trying to think of what to say while Fives came straight over and hugged Rigby.

"I'm sorry, Rigby," he said quietly.

Rigby hugged Fives back and smiled. "Thanks, Fives."

I looked at Muscle Man, who still didn't know what to say.

I nodded toward Rigby and he finally spoke.

"I know I'm not the nicest guy to you, bro, but I do care about you. I'm here for you." Rigby smiled at him.

"Thanks, Muscle Man."

Everyone smiled at Rigby and went their own ways.

I gently picked Rigby up and tilted his chin where I was looking in his eyes.

"I'm here for you too, Rigby. I always will be."

He smiled at me and nuzzled his head into my chest.

"Thanks," he said. I rested my chin on his head and carried him to our room.

Rigby yawned and fell asleep in my arms.

I laid on my bed, hugging Rigby close.

I knew Rigby would never stop missing Don, but I did know he would be okay.

Thanks to AnimeToonz19 for the idea for everyone to comfort Rigby. I'm so sorry for the long wait! I couldn't come up with anything for a while. I hope you all enjoyed this story!
