Rorty fluff

Protective Rick

(cause who doesn't love protective Rick!?)

Morty being bullied

I was listening to Sh-Boom Sh-Boom by The Crew Cuts while writing this

Also if anyone read a story that's similar to this then I haven't read it and please give me the link so I can!

Ricks POV

I've noticed how Morty has been a nervous wreck when it's time for that idiotic waste of time priso-...School..

And though he tries to hide it through his whining and complaints every time I drag him off to another dimension/planet in the middle of class, I can practically see the relief in those big honey colored orbs of his.

I've acted like I don't notice, however that changed today after Morty got home from school and came to give me a hand in the garage, it was when he had to reach for the gordoble (gore-doe-bell) and some wires needed for my project.

I saw a large nasty purple/black bruise so contrasted against his skin it looked as if the morning sky still had a patch of night sky that won't fade away.

I would never had seen it hadn't I turned to him a moment before his shirt fell back into place like silk. I stared at the place that dark patch would be seen if that yellow shirt wasn't hiding it from the world in silence before taking a gulp from my trusty flask, letting out a sharp burp before calling him an idiot and getting the stuff myself and continued my work as if I hadn't seen it.

Taking another quick gulp from my flask and nuzzle it back into its rightful spot in my coats pocket, from the corner of my sharp sky blue eyes i see Morty looking slightly dejected and about to leave the garage.

I soften up as a little guilt from my words sinks into my bones, even though i know i dont mean them dosent mean i still dont feel bad for them

I pat Mortys silky brown curls with a curl of my lip as he immediately beams up at me with pure affection.

Slightly flustered I send him out of the garage with the promise of inter-dimensional cable ringing in the air before giving myself a moment to smile and breath, I shake my head and then get serious while going back to tinkering to give my hands something to do while I assess what I saw.

'it was a fresh bruise, there's no doubt about that, I've seen my fair share of them, especially on myself. The only thing is that we haven't been on an adventure for three days now since Beth wants him to catch up with his homework/schoolwork..'

My brow furrows and frown deepens the more since I know what's wrong but slightly hurt that he hasn't come to me about it yet, 'Though knowing him like I do he's likely anxious that I'll think he's weak' I let out a sigh before stopping what I was doing to lean back in my chair cracking my back and neck with a groan, rolling my shoulders and standing up

I look down pulling out my flask and shake it hearing only a small bit left inside and begin weighing the options of bringing it or finishing it and leaving it in here for now, a few seconds pass and I gulp the rest down smoothly and let out a hearty burp wiping away the spittle and setting the flask down on the rickety table before leaving the garage and making for the stairs to Mortys room, once there I stood in-front of the door wondering if I should knock or not.

Mortys POV

My eyes are closed as I nod my head to the song I'm listening to to keep my mind off of what happened today at school, I'm beginning to nod off when a faint knocking awoke me from my light doze and I paused the music.

"Yeah?" I call out lightly, the door knob jiggles and Rick walks in holding a glass of water with ice cubes making light Clink's when rattling against themselves and the glass while taking sips out of his own glass of water.

I have to struggle to keep most of the blush that's fighting to be known away but still end up a light dust of pink and for the first time today Morty was slightly great-full for Jerry always leaving the heat on when he left to do who-the-fuck-knows and the house being way too warm as a cause, at least he could play the blush off for the warmth if brought up, what he couldn't play off is the flutter of his heart and warmth of his chest so he was glad they had no physical manifestations or he'd be screwed.

"H-Hey Mort, y-y-you want to go down and w-watch television?" Rick asks as he hands me the glass, quirking my eyebrow and as I take the offering our fingers brush, my face gets warmer as my blush deepens and I take a long drink from the glass in hopes of cooling my face down, my eyes flutter open which I didn't realize I had closed and let out a sigh of relief, the cold water settling in my stomach felt heavenly through this heat and I smile wide up at Rick as I get up "s-s-sure Rick".

Once they made their way downstairs they settled into their normal spots on the couch though a little closer than normal and started flipping through the channels, throughout the hours they are laughing and cracking jokes with each other simply enjoying each other's gravity, every so often one of them will shift and there leg will bump the others, they'll lock eyes and blush before something from the current show with make them laugh again.

They didn't realize that as the shows went on they were subconsciously beginning to lean against one another.

Rick

As I am letting out a small I feel Morty press fully against me and I pause to look down at him only to realize the he fell asleep, an affectionate smile grew as I continued to stare at Morty's sleeping face, I begin contemplating carrying him to his room and heading off to mine to go to sleep but before the thought even has time to fully take refuge in my head My body has already shifted to take up the lions share of the sofa and curl Morty (if it autocorrects his name to Marty one more time I swear. XD) up against me, I wrap my arms around his waist and burrow my face into his soft hair and sigh warmly as my eyes flutter shut and I drift off to sleep.

(So I'm gonna make this a two shot(maybe more) and make a part two for this cause if I have the first part physically posted it might encourage me to continue writing instead of abandoning this like I did already *knocks on wood*)

so this has 1223 words, I'll de my best to make the next part of this to have more or less around that many as well :)
