he was always there, actually...............

mordaret <3

margaret served coffee to other customers for her daily routine. she sighed heavily. today, there was no laughs, no smiles, no greetings.

no happiness....

The robin walked up to an empty table and sat down on it, resting her head on the wooden table, thinking about her past relationship, and how her boyfriend cheated on her. which she hadnt found out until today.

"hopefully mordecai will make me laugh like he always does..." she mumbled into the laminated surface. As if his cue, the bell rung and footsteps we heard.

"hey margaret! you tired?" mordecai asked. margaret sighed heavily. she sniffled.
Mordecai raised an eyebrow and took a seat in the chair aside the scarlet avian.
"dude, whats going on. you dont look so good." Mordecai's tone was becoming more serious. he scooched his chair closer to her and placed his hand on her shoulder.

"just because im i guy doesnt mean im a jerk, you can talk to me, ya know." he said, trying to convince margaret to speak up. She looked up and tryed to smile, but she couldnt. her eyes were red and there were bags under her eyes, a look that mordecai found very pityful and suffering for him to see his love like this.
"what are you trying to say, mordecai?" she still had that recognizable honey in her voice, but her eyes narrowed in confusion. mordecai knew his words were chosen horribly.
"i- i uh, just mean, that, uh. your boyfriends always uh, end up like total jerks to you. and uh, um, sooner or later, you might not trust guys anymore because of it. like- like uh, me. i dunno." he shrugged. he didnt look in her eyes.
Margarets eyes widened. "wha.. dont be silly, its just that my boyfriends dont see eye to eye sometimes..."
mordecai looked at her with his eyebrow raised in disbelief. he grabbed her shoulders.
"no margaret, look at your past boyfriends; jeff, carl, jessi, mathew, nicholas, charles, micky, andrew, theyve all hurt you. i dont want that for you anymore."
he started not to care about his shyness, he was sick of all this romance shit, he wanted it over with. Margaret looked nto his eyes.
"you kept track of them...?-"
"yes, i did." mordecai concluded. margaret pondered as tears fell from her cheeks.
"w-why?"
"because... i, i uh, was l-looking for a pattern, i guess...." the shy blue jay was back to his normal state again, his confidence exiting his body. Margaret looked away, ignoring what he'd just said.
"ugh. im done with guys, mordecai. i just want them to dissapear from the earth for good. all of them are just huge jerks, they dont deserve any girl...'
"well, dont you think, that not all guys are jerks-?"
"no." the robin replied harshly. Mordecai's face turned to an expression of... hurt, for a second. Margaret saw it.
"oh, well not you of course, youre just too sweet."
mordecai shrugged.
"hey mordecai, can i ask you a question?"
the conversation wasnt getting any less akward. mordecai replied.
"sure, what?"
"how come you dont have a girlfriend?" she asked, a mild blush filled her cheeks. Mordecai was a bit shocked at that.
"oh, uhum. well, i guess im really shy when im around my crush..."
margarets eyes filled with curiosity. "oh! please tell me!" she squealed.
Mordecai was glad to see her enthusiasm back. he smiled sheepishly.
"well, its um, i dunno...... i, i shouldnt say..."
Margaret prodded him with her red wings.
"pleeeeeaaasseee? im really good at keeping secerets!"
mordecai blushed. "w-well, if you uh- uh-r -er... you."
Margaret tilted her head. mordecai looked away swiftly. this was it, it was time to confess.
"y-you." the azul avain managed to say with a huge lump in his shaking throat, still not looking any direction near his crush.


margaret stood there, shocked.

a few moments passed with no words, and mordecai got up out of the table, dissapointment rising in his chest.

"well, um, i hope you feel better soon, uhm, i should get going to work-"

immediatley, without warning, another's beak soon matched with his for a breif moment, but mordecai thought it lasted a whole lifetime. his eyes widened, his heart beated at a miraculous rate, but his arms wrapped around the kisser in pure, love. margarets released her grip.

"do you know, how long i waited to hear something lke that come outta your mouth?" she smirked, a newfound energy rose within her.

mordecai was still completley lovestruck.

"n-nn-n-no...."

she giggled.
