It had been a few days since Rick and Morty went on that adventure with the giants and Mr. Jellybean but Morty had one problem. "Rick… I can't sleep…" Moty sheepishly said as he peered through the door that leads to the garage where rick was tinkering. Rick sighed and looked to the boy then back at the gadget, then proceeding to put the Phillips Head screwdriver down and getting out of the chair at the desk. Rick lied down on his bed, patting down the bed next to him.
Morty awkwardly walked away from the door, shutting it behind self and sitting next to Rick. "What's going on…?" Rick asked looking to Morty then back at the roof. Rick really wanted to help Morty, but being Rick meant it was kinda hard. "T-That… Rick… That jellybean guy… I… Am I just a tease…? Was he right…?!" Morty asks, his voice breaking as tears stream down his face and his back begins to shudder. "Morty…" Rick's voice cracks and he can't think of anything else to do by lay him down gently and hug him protectively, Morty's face to his chest and his chin on Morty's head. Rick rubbed the shuddering teenagers back, small circles.
After about ten minutes, Moty's shuddering had stopped and Rick was just hugging Morty. "You aren't a tease… it's okay… can I tell you a secret…?" Rick's deep words made his chest vibrate and Morty noded. "I killed him… after you walked through the portal I shot him… He's gone now… I promise Morty…" Rick swears and hugs Morty close. "Really…? You did…?" Morty asked, looking up at Rick who just nodded at the boy. "Thank you Rick…!" Morty smiled hugging rick tightly. "It's okay.. Now get some sleep… you can sleep here but I don't want this to become a regular thing. This bed's small enough without you in it." Rick chuckled closing his eyes. Morty nodded and fell asleep, not to have a nightmare.
The next morning Rick woke up, surprisingly squished against the wall and he opened his eyes to see Morty still asleep in his bed. Rick didn't care but he got up avoiding Morty, in an effort to not wake him. "Good… The kid's finally getting sleep.." Rick smiled going back to his work. 'Back to Dick Rick, ey?" He heard someone in his head say. "Yeah fuck off dick." Rick mumbled, picking up his Phillips Head Screwdriver. And picking up the gadget, getting up and looking to the sleeping boy, he had kicked the sheets off of himself. Rick sighed and took his lab coat off and layed it over Morty. "He needs something to keep of mine… that's not this science garbage…" Rick laughed slightly to himself, aiming the device at his head and pulling the trigger, and he was gone.
Morty woke up a few minutes later to an empty garage and he looked down at the lab coat over him. "Rick?" He said feeling tears yank at his eyes. He looked at the lab coat and there was a small note on it saying, "Do better than I did Morty, I love you. -Grandpa Rick" Morty was crying now and he held the lab coat close to him and sobbed into it. But after about an hour he wiped his eyes and put it on. "I-I am now… Morty Sanchez… I will focus on Science for my Grandpa Rick…" He said, disowning his own last name and sitting at the desk and beginning to make things that no one could ever imagine.
