The day was almost over, and it was still hot. The boys and their co-workers had been laboring all day, and were exhausted. They lay in a circle in the grass, heads towards the middle. Benson even decided to join the group, just so he could watch the summer sun set off into the distance. Just as it was a bout to set, Rigby spoke up.
“Hey Mordecai?” he said really softly, almost as if he was trying to whisper.
“Hmph.” Mordecai continued to gaze off into the yellow and purple of the setting sun.
“Do you think I’m stupid?” It seemed as though everybody stopped breathing. Mordecai just sat there, as did everyone else, not knowing what he should say to his lover. He took his hand from behind his head and found Rigby’s. He held it tight. “Dude, just tell me. I wanna hear you say it.” Rigby’s voice was solemn now, almost as if he knew what Mordecai would say. “I’m a high school dropout! And not even because I was doing bad, just because I was lazy! Now I’m a park hand! . . . no offense Benson . . .” Benson snorted. “You can’t honestly look at my accomplishments, and say that I’m smart! Especially ‘cause there are none!” Mordecai turned over and looked at Rigby. He was good at hiding his tears in his voice, because he was sobbing.
“Rigby. You’re not stupid. You’ve just made some not so smart choices. Yea, sometimes you screw up, but we all do! I bet even Benson, Pops, and Skips do sometimes! And I definitely do . . . hell, I got kicked out at 18! I went to Art School for God’s sake! And my parents will never be happy with who I am, or what I’ve done! And after all that, I turn to alcohol to ease the pain. Rigby, we all have our faults, and even though some people may seem perfect, we all have our downfalls man! Right guys?!” Mordecai looked to the others for help. They all nodded or grunted, some sign of agreement escaped each one of them. “See Rigby, you’re not stupid . . . ‘cause if you were, you wouldn’t have chosen this place! . . . or me for that matter.”
Rigby wants to know if he's stupid.

Just a quickie for no good reason haha
