2:43 The clock read as you were awakened to a bright green glow that seemed to flood the room from the hallway. A sound, something between a buzz and a hum that you'd grown to know as Ricks portal gun. You pulled back your blanket and immediately felt a shiver run up your spine as the bitter winter air caressed your exposed skin.
"Rick" you called out in a hushed tone. Nothing. Nothing but silence till you heard the loud crash of something in the living room followed by incoherent cursing. Your heart skipped a beat. You swung your legs over the side of your bed and delicately placed your feet on the hardwood floorboards. If there was an intruder at least you wanted to remain somewhat decent, the thigh length blue lacey nightdress that currently adorned your body , was far from best for defending yourself from intruders. Just as you began to slide yourself off the bed towards the draws , a dark shadow looms in the entrance to your room.
You'd recognise that silhouette anywhere, a flowing lab coat, tall , slender frame and a wild mass of spiked hair like it had been zapped onto his skull. A flood of relief washes over your body as you release the breath you didn't realise you'd been holding in your throat the entire time.
You part your lips to say his name once again but before you can he collapses in a heap on the floor. Fearing for the worst you rush over to him. This wouldn't be the first time he had come to you covered in blood with broken bones, before meeting rick you had been training to become a doctor. He always knew you would be quick, professional and discreet.
"H-hey baby" he slurred out. He was only drunk thank god. This was drunker than you'd ever seen him in the short year you'd been together
and that said A lot. You crouched down on the floor beside him , your knees a few inches away from his face. Gingerly you reach down to his face, you fingers softly brushing along his jaw line , down his neck and along his collar bone.
His hand darts up and he twists his fingers around your wrist , placing several soft but sloppy kisses on your hand. "Rick , No. We sorted this remember" you whimper out. Deciding to leave Rick was one of the hardest things you'd had to do but you knew in the long run it was for the best. He had shown you new worlds, the birth of stars and the ends of whole systems at the hands of a black hole. Every moment you were with this man it was like a hit of ecstasy and for all you knew, with all the strange alien foods and drinks he let you try, you might have been on some kind of space drug. The problem with rick was it always ended the same. You, alone in some dark , cheap motel room. The blankets pulled up to your face as tears streamed down. The next few days you would be sore and bruised but come the end of the week you were ready to go again.
"I really fucked up here" Rick mumbles which snaps you back to the moment . You look down at Rick, he had moved his head to rest on your lap now. You couldn't help feel sorry for him, his eyes had always been so lonely, his brilliant mind being held back by his aging body and the constant disappointment in everyone around him as no one could keep up with him.
"What do you mean" you inquire just as much as he could be referring to the messy end to your relationship he could also be talking about the state he was in or just as likely he could be referring to some bomb which would explode this entire demmention with him inside it. By now he is out of it again, lids half closed and lips slightly parted.
You realized you weren't going to get much more out of him tonight and decide it's just best to prop him up somewhere till the morning. You reached under his arms and attempted to heave him over to the bed. You were far from strong and despite him being fairly light you still only managed to drag him across the floor.
Throwing him onto the bed was harder than anticipated and you end up launching yourself over him as you do. "So desperate to get into B-urrpp-bed with me" you glared up at him ready to defend yourself and intentions but despite his recently acquired smirk ,his eyes were still firmly shut. Either you falling on him had indeed woken him up for a second or Rick fucking Sanchez was capable of making quips in his sleep, neither would suppose you.
You lift yourself back up and readdress your night dress which had risen dangerously high up your thigh. Leaning over you pull the blanket over him before turning on your heels to spend a night on the sofa. His hand grasps tightly at your wrist, holding you in place. You glanced over your shoulder to him, one eye partly cracked open a needy expression on his face. You let out a gentle sigh and crawl over him to the other side of the bed. Before you can get under the covers you feel his arm pull you closer to him.
This was new , something you'd never been allowed to do during your time with him, as he had put it "No need to make things weird" and you had just come to accept it but this...well this was nice. It was the intamncy you had craved when you had been together, nothing but listening to his heart beat and watch the gentle rise and fall of his chest. The reek of alcohol was something you could have done without but it wouldn't be Rick if it wasn't there. You wanted this moment to last a lifetime but found your eyes slowly drifting shut, your whole body comfortable and relaxed against him.
You awoke again as sunlight filtered through the blinds of your room with a warm glow touching everything in the room but yet somehow the bed felt cold. You cracked open your eyes and with hazy vision saw the empty spot beside you where rick had laid last night. You knew expecting him to stay was too much but somehow you'd deluded yourself into the idea of waking up together and having breakfast like two normal people
You slid out of bed and made your way to the bathroom. The shower had recently been used, maybe with in the last 10 minutes, you had literally missed him by moments. You let out an wearisome sigh and lean back against the wall only just now catching something written on the mirror in the steam. 'We need to chat, see you tonight'
A/N so after season 3 ep 4 I wanted to do something with really drunk Rick. Its not really fluffy because Rick isnt a very fluffy guy (well not sure about that hair though.) but I hope you enjoy. Im also toying with this being more than a one shot kinda thing and maybe have them test the waters again, I dont know, if you want more of this story then feel free to comment or sometning.
