A/N: Some fluffy, smutty fun written for the RichonneFics Richonne 6 Month Anniversary Writing Challenge on Tumblr: Day One Forget me Not. Enjoy!
This would be the last time he took the two o'clock until dawn sentry watch, Rick decided as he climbed into bed behind Michonne. Shuffling closer, he wrapped his arm about her waste and breathed in the scent of her hair. He felt her hand cover his as she stroked it gently with her thumb; she did that most mornings when the two of them lay in bed together. He knew it was probably almost time for her to get up and face the day as he pressed a kiss to her bare shoulder. Michonne rolled over to face Rick.
"Hey," she said softly, running her fingers through his hair.
"Hey," he replied with a sleepy smile on his face.
"I'm gonna get up with Judy, but you get some rest, okay?" she said, stroking his face.
"Okay," he replied before leaning in to kiss her, but she pulled away and shook her head.
"No, Rick," she said, not in any way harsh but much to his disappointment. "I haven't brushed my teeth yet."
She kissed his forehead and he groaned as she climbed out of their bed. He watched her pull on some pants before turning and winking at him; she then made her way into the upstairs bathroom. Sighing, he rolled to his back and tried to get some much needed sleep.
…..
Showered and ready for the day, Rick made his way down the stairs and into the dining area of their home. Carl had already left, but Michonne and Judith were still there; the baby was seated on the floor in the living room playing with her red cups as Michonne stood at the sink and dried their bowls from breakfast. Rick crept over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist; he kissed her elegant neck, smiling against her skin.
Michonne turned so that they were face-to-face and offered him a chaste kiss before wriggling free from his embrace; "Can't stick around," she said to Rick before he could protest. "We've got some errands to run, don't we Baby Girl?"
Judith walked over to Michonne who was now standing in front of her as Rick sighed once more, eager for some physical interaction between himself and Michonne.
"Where are y'all off to today?" he asked while searching for something to eat since he could not devour his wife at the present moment.
"Around the community. I'll be helping with the new recruits later, but the morning is for me and Judy," she said with a smile.
Rick walked over and helped to fasten Judith into her stroller, planted a kiss on top of her head before asking Michonne, "Will I get to see you at all later?"
She offered him a sweet smile, "Maybe. If you're good and learn to remember a few things we spoke about."
Rick looked at her questioningly, unsure of what she was referring to.
"What?" asked Rick.
Michonne shrugged, shook her head and then uttered, "Nevermind."
…..
The warmth of the sun beat down on Rick and Daryl as they sat near the RV; both men had grease covering their hands as they took a break from working on the engine of the trusty vehicle. Rick's eyes scanned the area while he watched the people going about their daily activities. Just like countless times before, his gaze found Michonne. She and Judith were leaving the community garden with a string bag full of vegetables. Once she saw them, she changed the direction she was walking in and approached.
"Hey, we're just gonna drop this stuff off at home and then I'll need you to take the baby until I'm done with the new people," said Michonne to Rick after she nodded in greeting to Daryl.
"Of course," Rick replied. "What time will you be done?"
"I don't know, after dinner time," she offered as she began to walk away with Judith in the stroller. "But I'll see you at home later."
"Okay," he called after her before looking to Daryl and saying quietly, "I think she's annoyed with me."
"Why?" murmured Daryl, not too interested in people's love lives.
"She's been a little distant today," he offered.
"How? She just came over here to see ya," Daryl said as he inhaled the smoke from his cigarette.
Rick sighed, knowing he was probably going to need to explain it to Daryl.
"Not like that," he said, rubbing his soiled hands together. "Physically. Like she barely touched me this mornin'…"
"Nah, man," said Daryl. "I ain't havin' this conversation with you. I ain't wanna know about that."
"I ain't givin' you any details," said Rick. "Just needed to talk to someone about it."
"Well I ain't the one," replied Daryl.
"Okay, sorry," said Rick as they fell silent again.
After a moment, Daryl spoke once more; "Look, maybe ya done somethin' to upset her. Or forgot to do somethin'. I dunno, man. Try to remember."
Rick nodded his head, "I think you might have a point."
Daryl grunted in response.
"Our anniversary," said Rick. "It has to be our anniversary. I knew it was comin' up soon, but I could have sworn I had another week."
"Well, what're ya gonna do?" asked Daryl, intrigued and amused by how romantic Rick was.
"The only thing I can do at this point," Rick explained. "Make it up to her."
…..
The sun had long set by the time Michonne had trudged through the door; training the new people and talking to them about what it means to be part of their community always ended in a communal meal. Michonne, being one of the senior members of the Council was part of the dinner. Rick did not need to attend it because he was busy with Judith and it gave him no time at all to plan something to make it up to Michonne. He had just gotten Judith settled into bed by the time Michonne got home. She drank a glass of water and then called out to Rick.
"Hey, I'm home," she said, not waiting for him to answer. "Just gonna have a shower."
Rick heard the shower running as he checked on Carl; the boy had his earbuds in as he watched a movie on the portable DVD player. They bid each other goodnight as Rick went to his and Michonne's bedroom. He lit the candles that sat on the nightstand and turned the CD player on softly. Just as he removed his boots and jeans, Michonne entered the room wearing her robe; she smiled at Rick and gave him a questioning look. He unbuttoned his shirt and then stepped closer to her.
"Don't say anything," he said as he reached for the straps of her dressing gown. "Just let me make it up to you."
Rick opened the garment and let it fall to the floor, leaving Michonne standing there in all her naked glory; he cupped her face and then kissed her mouth deeply as his hands searched her form. After a moment, they breathlessly broke their kiss and she smiled at him in a way that showed him she was as hungry for him as he was for her. Rick took her by the hand and led her to the bed before lifting her up and laying her down. He trailed slow, teasing kisses all over the naked skin of her abdomen and up to her pert breasts. After twirling his tongue around each perfect brown nipple, he kissed his way back down her body.
"I'm sorry that I sometimes forget, but I'm gonna be better in the future," he said while kneeling on the bed and positioning himself between her legs; he ran his hands along her inner thighs and dipped his head before whispering. "I wanna show you how sorry I am."
As soon as his lips pressed against her warm center, Michonne threaded her fingers through his hair. She let out a delicious moan as Rick's eager tongue worked over her slit and up to her nub; he sucked gently and held her hips in place.
"Oh, god, Rick," she breathed as his ministrations caused her juices to flow; her head rolled back as she felt herself become slick from his cares.
Rick shifted one hand from her hip and brought it to her mound; he used his thumb to rub her clit while he sucked her engorged lips. He then dipped two fingers inside of Michonne while he flicked his tongue over her sensitive bud again and yet again. Michonne felt the heat in her core intensifying and gripped his hair tighter as he keenly alternated between rubbing his nose into her most sacred spot and lapping at it.
Michonne was even more turned on when she would hear moans coming from Rick as he tasted her; her nipples were still hard from his mouth and she rolled them between her fingers, adding more pleasuring sensations. He knew exactly how to touch her to make her come undone and this time was no different. Taking her clit into his mouth, he sucked harder and faster to bring Michonne to the apex of her pleasure as his own dripping sex, set hard in his boxer shorts, ached for her attentions. A moment later, Michonne found her release; the sensation pulsed through her entire body as her center throbbed and Rick cleaned her with is tongue.
Once he was done, and while she was still catching her breath, Rick lay next to Michonne and ran his fingers over her warm skin. She leaned over and kissed his mouth, tasting her muskiness on his lips; she placed her hand into his boxers and found his hardness. Kissing him once more as she worked her hand up and down his length; Rick closed his eyes and moaned.
She sucked his earlobe into her mouth before whispering, "I love when you do it but was that for?"
Trying to focus as she rubbed his erection, Rick turned to face Michonne.
"I was making it up to you 'cause you were distant with me when I forgot," he said as Michonne stopped her strokes and then looked at him questioningly.
"I wasn't distant," she said as she ran her hand over his stomach and chest before straddling him; she leaned down and kissed him again.
"I don't blame you, I shouldn't have forgotten our anniversary," he explained as she rolled her hips, grinding against him; the heat of her arousal set against his flushed skin.
Suddenly, Michonne stopped what she was doing and laughed.
"What are you talkin' about?" she asked, as he sat up.
"This mornin'," said Rick. "You didn't have time to fool around with me after you said I needed to remember stuff and things. I thought you were upset because I forgot our anniversary."
Michonne broke out into laughter and pulled Rick closer so she could hug him.
"What am I gonna do with you, Grimes?" she asked. "Our anniversary is next week."
"What? Then why were you upset with me?" Rick queried.
"I wasn't," she explained, as she kissed his face. "I was really busy today; just didn't have the time."
"Then what did you mean when you said I needed to remember things?" said Rick as Michonne reached between them to rub his hardness again.
"You forgot to put the toilet seat down again, and you know it annoys me," she said as she kissed his mouth again and slid her tight wetness down his length; she began to grind on top of Rick as he laughed at the misunderstanding. Soon, his laughter gave way to heavy breathing and deep moans as he and Michonne made love.
