When He Loved Me
Author's Note: I know, this chapter's pathetically short and I'm a hack. But I just wanted to get a start and will post more soon. Inspired by "When He Loved Me" by Audrey Werner. Hope you enjoy anyway.
Rick knew something was up when Morty said no to the adventure.
"Hey Morty, I need more mega seeds. S'go." Rick poked his head into Morty's ajar door and leaned against the frame, swinging his ship keys around his finger.
"Rick, I have homework." Morty responded, looking up from a notebook and textbook. The teen and his items were lying on his neatly made bed. "Can't you get them yourself?"
"D-do you really think -uuurp!- anyone'll care if your homework gets done? This is reeeal, Morty. You're not gonna find anything like it in a stupid geometry book."
"Um, I-I just-I just need to get this one assignment done. And I've already gone with you before." Morty concluded, returning his attention to his geometry textbook. "I'll come with next time."
"Well, when you get your head out of y-uuurp!-your school's ass, I'll be in the garage." Rick left the room, closing the door behind him.
The fuck's up with the kid, Rick thought to himself. He'd always be enthusiastic about an adventure, but now he's doing homework? That idiot Jerry or something probably forced him to do it. Morty was always submissive, but that made Rick question his grandson's behavior even more, as that obedience applied to him too. Most of the time, anyway.
Bah, kid's probably just being a whiny shit. He'd always had been, and always will. Rick didn't pay too much attention to it.
He sauntered into the garage, swiped the portal gun from his workbench, and produced a green hole which would take him to the dimension with his desired resource.
