(OLD)More Than Just A Scientist

~What. The. Actual. Fuck.~

Rick's P.o.V.
I had taken Jared to a secret room I had that could only be accessed through my room. I had not-so-carefully cut his head open to poke around in his brain. Literally. I poked at the squishy stuff that was in his head. It was pretty fucking disgusting, but I've seen much worse. I wanted to find what snapped in his brain that made him practically rape (Y/N), so I hooked his brain up to a device that would allow me to insert a mini robot to go around and look at his brain cells.
It was strange. He seemed pretty stable before and he suddenly snaps?
I couldn't find anything, which was pretty frustrating.
But that doesn't bother me anymore. Right now, I'm in my room with (Y/N) and she's curled up against the wall on my bed, clutching my flask in one hand while she stares at the semi-wrinkled sheets with a frown and red, puffy eyes. I don't know what to do. Comforting someone isn't something I'm good at, so I just handed her my flask. I'm pretty sure she finished whatever was left in it. I wanted to pull her into a hug, but she seemed like she wanted some space to herself.

"(Y-Y/N)- I-"
"Stop. Don't apologize anymore. What's done is done. Jared turned out to be a dick, just like every guy I've ever met."

Her voice seemed so tired. Like she wanted everything to be over. Boy did I know how that felt.

I sighed and nodded, expecting her to ask me to leave. What surprised me was that she placed her hand around my arm and tugged a little.

"But.... that doesn't mean I don't need a snuggle right now."

I smiled, scooting next to her and pulling her onto my lap. I wrapped my arms around her a bit awkwardly, finally getting into a comfortable position for both of us. It felt amazing having her close to me again.

"Rick... what you did.. it really hurt me. I had never loved a man or a woman as much as I've loved you, and seeing you with that big-tit-bimbo.. it just hurt me in ways I can't explain. I don't want you to apologize, but I do want an explanation."

Her voice was strong and steady, even though she had just been crying. She was so strong. My tough little (Y/N).
I opened my mouth and began to explain.

"(Y/N).. I w-want to give y-you a good reason like 'I-I was forced to bec-because someone was threatening y-you' but I can't. I don't know why I thought it was okay to e-even have sexual feelings t-urp-towards her, but I did. We got d-drunk, we fucked... I don't know. I'm-" I paused as I almost apologized, remember she didn't want me to.

Your P.o.V.

I didn't know what to do. I just stared at him, doing my best to keep the tears from flowing. Being so close to him... it just felt natural. He stared back into my eyes, not moving an inch. God, this is so annoying. I dropped his flask and grabbed his face with my hands, pulling him in to press my lips against his. I stayed there for a bit, waiting for his reaction. After a few seconds, he kissed me back. Our tongues danced, a feeling that I missed so much. I missed being wrapped in his arms, being able to smell the heavy smell of alcohol on his breath. He was flawed, extremely flawed, but he loved me. He loved me and that's what mattered to me.

After what seemed like hours, we pulled away, both panting with flushed cheeks. Rick smiled, and I could tell I was smiling too.

"I love you."
"Love you too, darling."
