State of Dreaming (Rick Sanchez x Reader)

Shadowing

"What. The. Fuck."

You're wide eyed at what you see.

Huge, brightly colored sky scrapers towered over you. Hundreds of miscellaneous creatures were walking around as if everything is completely normal.

You gulp and try to get up, still shocked by all this. [I.. never knew... this could be possible..]

Still staring at everything like a tourist, you got up and reached for your bag.

Suddenly, the gravity of the situation hit you. You were on an alien planet, possibly trillions of light-years away from your home. And you didn't know how to get back.

You whip around, only to see that the portal has disappeared. [Shit!]

You look around, trying desperately to find the only other humans on.. wherever you are.

You see a shadow and a lab coat turn the corner and you sprint after it, not caring about bumping in to anyone/thing.

When you turn, you see them closing the door of some weird looking building. It kinda looked like a little Chinese shop. But.. you know... alien.

You cautiously made your way toward the door and slid it open quietly, trying your best not to draw their attention.

"Don't be such a du-UU-mbass m-morty"

The old man said, a little annoyed.

"T-the orange one morty! How difficult is it to do that!?"

"S-s-sorry Rick.."

[Rick huh..]

The kid scratched the back of his neck and looked at his shoes.

"-UU-whatever, ill get it myself"

'Rick' took out a flask and chugged a bit of... whatever that was, and walked over to a shelf. Meanwhile, morty was still looking down and you were trying to think of what the fuck to do.

[Should I just talk to them?]

You thought about it for half a second.

[No way. What would I say anyway? 'Hi, you don't know me but I followed you through a weird portal and um.. idk where I am. Help. ']

You roll your eyes

[So what then? Keep following them? I mean... what else can I do?]

You think about it.

[I guess... eventually they'll make another portal back to earth right? Ill just keep following them until then.]

You sighed as you realized what that meant.

[If I do that I'll just go back to my normal BORING life..]

You really didn't want that.

But you didn't have anymore time to think about it, Rick got what he needed.

"Come on m-morty, lets g-OO-o"

Rick said as he walked out the door.

"C-coming!"

Morty ran after him.

You followed, but you swear as he left you saw him glance at you.

After a few more errands, Rick made another portal and went through it, Morty following behind.

Not taking any chances, you quickly jumped through as well, fearing it would close before you could get there.

You successfully made it through but lost your balance and fall flat on your face. You groaned and tried to get up, but before you could do anything you felt something cold on your temple.

"Why are you following me"

[Shitshitshit-]

You couldn't move.

"Answer"

You gulped as he said that in the coldest voice you've ever heard.

You slowed your breathing and tried to be calm.

"Get up" he said in the same cold uncaring voice.

You, slowly, got up and looked at the man who was pointing the gun at you.

Rick.

"Put the bag down"

He gestured at your backpack and you obediently put it on the floor.

"Hands"

You put your hands up and look around, trying to find something to occupy your mind to keep from worrying.

You see morty near the door, staring at you like he'd seen a ghost.

It looked like you were in a garage. Boxes of random stuff filled the corners and some tables

"H-h-hey that's the girl I s-saw earlier!" Morty said as rick looked through my bag.

"Uhuh, yeah r-EAA-l interesting Morty" Rick replied, not looking up.

Finished with my bag, he looked at me and furrowed his eyebrow. If you didn't know better, you'd say he looked confused.

"Sit"

He gestured to a chair next to him.

You frowned and reluctantly obeyed.
When you sat down rick moved in front of you. You looked up at him, he was taller than you thought, especially up close. His long slim body stood perfectly straight and his expression didn't waver.

He looked at you almost as if he didn't care, his dead eyes piercing into your soul. But you knew this was a facade​. The way his face would sometimes break to show even the slightest bit of emotion, you could tell he was trying to play you.

But you wouldn't let him.

[Two can play at this game]

You grinned but quickly your face turned emotionless, expressionless.

He raised his eyebrow again, then went back to normal.

[.. is he examining me?]

He keeps staring at you.

[He's trying to break me.]

You keep staring.

After what seems like hours, Morty chimes in. "Umm o-okay... im gonna to watch TV I guess.."

Morty leaves, but Rick still doesn't look away.

[Okay enough of this]

You break the silence,

"If this is an interrogation -which I'm pretty sure it is- then why didn't you tie me up?"

You know it probably wasn't important but you just needed something to talk about.

He narrows his eyes and you swear, for a second you could see him smile.

"Well, if you are a threat to me, you'd know I'd kill you if you are smart enough to escape me."

You scoffed.

[Smart enough? Who does he think he is!?]

"To the same end, if you're just a random student who followed me for no reason, you wouldn't be able to escape anyway. So, either way there's no point in tying yo-OO-u up."

You flinched back as you started to smell the alcohol in his breath.

[Seems like he's thought this through... well he did travel through portals to different planets. I'd imagine you'd have to be pretty smart to do that.]

"So. What're you gonna do to me?"

He opened his mouth to talk, but before he could, you heard someone yell

"Dad!"

He rolled his eyes and got up, walking out of the room, leaving me alone.
