Serenade To Spring

The icicle cried the first drop of water. The cold days and nights were over. It was time for a new, different chapter.

The sun was slowly rising from the mountain and the daffodils were blossoming as soon as they felt the sweet touch of the sun light. The wind was gentle and soft on the skin of every being who walked passed natures creations, having a good will towards the beauty around them.

It was the 21st of March. The first day of spring.

Rigby and Eileen were sitting on the bench, observing the two love birds who couldn't keep their eyes off one another. The love birds, also known as Mordecai and Margaret, were having their moments on the blanket which was placed on the green grass.

Rigby bent a little towards Eileen's ear and she twitched.

"I'm gonna go up to them and tell them they have a crush on one another," he whispered.

The mole didn't have any intentions on speaking quietly, "That's not a very good idea Rigby, you should let them express their love on their own."

Rigby moved and started speaking in the same tone, there was no chance they would hear them anyway. Firstly, they were too far away and secondly - even if they were at a reasonable distance, they still wouldn't hear them because they were only paying attention on what the other bird had to say. "Eileen, I've known Mordecai since I was 4 years old, " he acknowledged," I know he will never do it."

Eileen wondered how to let him know why it would be wrong in a way he would understand. "Look at it this way: Would you want someone else to tell your crush how you feel?"

Rigby felt his cheek burning. He turned so she wouldn't notice. "I don't have a crush."

Eileen's lips curved down. "If you had a crush..."

"Maybe." Rigby successfully put himself in Mordecai's shoes but he loathed to admit that what he was about to do was not the most acceptable thing in this situation.

"Maybe?"

Rigby sighed. "Ugh," he crossed his arms, frowning, "Fine. I wouldn't want Mordecai or anyone else to tell."

Eileen smiled. "See?"

The raccoon looked at her. He looked into her eyes. Those eyes of hers..the color, the shape...they were perfect. He gulped as he felt the butterflies waving their wings right in his stomach. "Eileen I..."

Eileen's stomach flipped. This was it. She thought to herself. He's going to kiss her to avoid saying how much she really means to him.

She moved closer to him while keeping eye contact, "You.."

"...I..."

Eileen's mouth was almost touching his at this point. She closed her eyes and waited for him to make his move, but she felt his lips moving because he started talking.

"I feel like nachos. Do you want some nachos?"

Eileen opened her eyes and moved away, disappointed, "Sure. Sounds cool."

Rigby felt a bit like a jerk for turning her down like that. But he just didn't feel the same... or at least...he didn't want to.

He shook his head, got off the bench and grabbed Eileen's arm. He was going to make it up for rejecting her at that very moment. "Come on! I know a really cheap place where they serve you nachos with cheese,vegetables and everything!"

Eileen grinned and got up as well. She let him lead her through the path.

How she loved his childish cheerfulness. She loved everything about him, actually. The way he smiled, the way he looked at her, the way he always made her laugh... Maybe he was just that special in general. Or maybe he was special because of the way she felt whenever he was around.

Once they got in front of the restaurant, Rigby set on a table for two. Eileen sat in the other chair.

As seconds passed, they just kept looking at each other, completely forgetting the words they wanted to let out. Maybe it was too much of an unpleasant position of the chairs, but they were forced to face each other.

There was an awkward silence which made Rigby let out a short nervous laugh, "So...", he dropped his elbows on the table.

Eileen was trying to avoid his eyes,"Yeah so...um..."

"Can I get your order?"

Eileen turned to the waiter, "YES! I mean...yeah."

"We'll have some nachos with all the extras," ordered Rigby.

The waiter wrote it down then went back inside.

Rigby started thinking of what may be going on back at the place where they hung out a few moments ago. He decided to share his funny opinion with Eileen. "Mordecai and Margaret are probably still just laying there thinking about making a move," he chuckled.

Eileen pushed her glasses back on their place,"Lets not talk about Mordecai and Margaret."

Rigby wondered why she would request that. They were her friends too, so why not talk about them? It's not like him and Eileen were dating and it would be upsetting if he kept talking about some other people who were kind of in a relationship.

He turned and stared blankly. Him and Eileen...dating? No, no...that will never happen. They were just...friends.

"Rigby?"

Rigby looked back at her, "Hm?" Before she could say another word he apologized, "Sorry, I was just in a bit of a ...deep thought."

Eileen opened her mouth to ask him what he was thinking about but the waiter was faster, "Here's your order!" He placed one huge plate of nachos on the table. "Bon appetite!"

"Thanks," said Eileen then took one of the nachos off the plate.

"Nachos.." Rigby had a full plate of nachos in front of her and he stared at the one Eileen was holding. Maybe he just thought it was better because it now belonged to someone else?

Eileen smiled at him, getting an idea. She brought her hand closer to his mouth, "Do you want me to feed you?" She curved her toes after asking that. She didn't show any discomfort, but she was beating herself up on the inside, thinking what a dumb question it was.

Rigby stood up on his chair, "THE PIZZA KING HAS RETURNED!" Everyone looked at Rigby ,who was making a scene. He narrowed his eyes, smirking, "As the nacho king. Ooooohhhh!"

Eileen grinned. She didn't care about the people who were gossiping at that very moment. She let Rigby bite into the nacho from her hand.

"Nacho king want more," spoke the full-mouthed raccoon.

Eileen giggled and dipped the nacho into some cheese. Rigby opened his mouth again, bending, and Eileen placed what was left of the nacho on his tounge. The raccoon felt the touch of her skin which made him back away and sit back on his chair. His heart was racing at an abnormal speed and he wasn't sure how to deal with it.

He swallowed the nacho then started staring at the ground. That made Eileen worried. "Are you okay Rigby?"

"I'm feeling kinda dizzy," he answered.

Eileen placed her hand on his forehead which made him look back at her. Eileen took a deep breath in and out. She started having those strange feelings again, the same feelings Rigby had. Rigby stared back at her, having the urge to get up and let their lips press against each other. "You don't...have a fever." Eileen removed her hand. Their hearts slowly went back to their normal state. Eileen smiled at him and he smiled back.

It was alright.
