Love isn't a chemical. (Rick x O.C.) (Rick and Morty fanfic) [Hold/maybe ended]

Ten

Lily woke up, hearing beeping and a TV going. She coughed and looked around, recognizing it as the Citadel's hospital wing. 

'How did I get here?' She thought to herself, but then she remembered Rick and Morty managed to escape from Evil Rick somehow. She tried to sit up and winced. 

"Guess I'm not fully healed yet...." She mumbled. "But that hasn't stopped me before." She kept trying to sit up. As Lily kept trying, a Rick walked right in.

"Jesus, Lily, stop!" He made her lay down. She glared at him and realized it was her Rick.

"You're here? In the Citadel? None the less, the Citadel's hospital?" Lily questioned. She looked at her IV bag. "What kind of drugs are they giving me?" Rick chuckled and shook his head. 

"It's just fluid to keep you hydrated." He said, sitting in a chair next to her bed. "Glad to see you're awake though." Lily used her bed to help her sit up slightly.

"How did you and Morty escape Evil Rick? Is Morty alright? Where is he?" Lily asked right off rip.

"Morty managed to escape from wherever he was with a whole army of angry Mortys and they killed Evil Rick. Morty is fine and at home. I already told everyone you and I will be home in a few days." 

"What makes you think I want to go back with you after what you said to Morty and me?" Lily asked, crossing her arms. Rick opened his mouth in response but then shut it. Lily rolled her eyes and watched the TV. 

"Lily, I know this doesn't mean much, but I'm sorry. I was stressed and worried. Worried about what was going to happen, worried about if I was even right or if it was a trick of the Citadel's." Rick apologized, finally breaking the silence. 

"Rick, you always say you're sorry, but you never mean it. You never show it or show you improving that you are. That's why we aren't back together. That's why I can't trust you with my heart again." Lily said. Rick looked down.

"Yeah, I know, but maybe this can help show that I truly am sorry." Rick set a rectangle box on her bed. She raised an eyebrow and picked it up, looking at it. She looked at him. 

"Open it. It's safe. I promise." 

"That's reassuring." She rolled her eyes and opened the box. It was a necklace that looked like a fire opal.

"Where did you find this?" Lily asked, looking at him.

"Birdperson found it for me. I told him how badly I screwed up, especially with throwing your necklace. He told me this would protect you better than the old one. I made the necklace part myself." Rick blushed slightly.

"You're blushing!!" Lily gasped. "You never blush!!" He blushed more.

"Shut up," Rick mumbled, drinking from his flask. Lily giggled. She put the necklace on and smiled slightly.
