i woke up to a crashing noise coming from downstairs. i checked my clock. 3:50am
i must be delusional, i just need sleep.
the crashing noise struck again and fear filled up my stomach which turned into adrenaline.
i carefully walked downstairs to find 3 men in balaclavas and armed weapons. i froze.
shit shit shit, they saw me.
one of the men started walking towards me and i was still frozen in place, at least my voice wasn't.
"rick." i whispered.
"don't." the man said getting closer. "you're gonna regret it."
"rick, rick r-rick! rick!! RICK!" i starting shouting. the man swiftly grabbed me around my neck.
a half asleep rick ran through.
"what?!" he said sleepily but then fully woke up when he saw the men. all of them pointed their guns at him.
"who are you, why are you here?" rick said reaching for his pocket.
"you killed my brother." said the man holding me, he was almost choking me at this point. i was clutching on his arm hoping he would loosen his grip.
"brother? the guy that? well he kidnapped her!" rick said pulling his blaster out of his pocket.
"look, you don't wanna fuck with me okay? you're making a mistake." rick said pointing his gun.
the man tightened his grip even more. i was desperately gasping for air.
"let her go now or i'm gonna have to blow your brains out." rick threatened.
the man holding me scoffed.
"you hear this guy?-" the man said but was cut off by a shot fired. his arm around my neck loosed and fell to the ground.
i turned around to see the man on the ground with half of his brains on the floor. i gaged. rick ran over to me.
he held my shoulder and pulled me close to his chest so i was turned away from the chaos.
"hey, hey, hey don't look. close your eyes, everything's fine." rick whispered.
"no, you've made a big mistake now. you've killed 2 of us. you're gonna pay double." one of the other men snapped.
"wanna make it triple? get the fuck out!" rick said holding me tighter.
even though i was surrounded by criminals, i felt safe with rick, even though he was a criminal himself. the most dangerous one.
i closed my eyes and buried my head into his chest trying to block out my hearing of chaos and argument. the smell of fresh cologne and alcohol put me at ease.
"it's not just her. it's all of you. you better hide that other one, that winey boy in that yellow shirt." the men threatened.
"bla bla bla, why are you still here? next time i'm not gonna say anything i'll let my gun talk." rick shouted.
"just you wait." one man said then finally left.
"what happened? ar-are you okay?" morty said running down the stairs.
"ah!! aw- geez! fuck!" morty said at the view of the dead body.
rick pulled me off him and held both of my arms, looking deep into my eyes. i think he was expecting me to be crying, i actually had no emotion.
"you're brave." rick said proudly.
"don't you guys worry, those mafia wannabes are always all mouth. i've tackled worse."
"aw geez man." morty sighed.
"get some sleep... or whatever." rick said probably realised he was being to caring. he slowly stood up and went to the kitchen to get some beer.
"it's crazy isn't it." morty said.
"we better get some sleep." i said slightly smiling at morty. he smiled back.

(# start playing music)
4:30am
i'm not gonna get any sleep tonight. these are the cons of living with the smartest man in the universe i guess.
i left my bed again, i didn't want to be alone right now. i knocked on mortys door.
he opened it almost straight away. he had blood shot eyes and messy hair.
"can't sleep?" he said.
i nodded. he opened the door wider so i could come in.
i sat down next to morty on his bed and sighed.
"i kn-know how you feel (y/n), this stuff i'm used to now." morty said, moonlight strobes reflecting on his face.
"how does he deal with this? all the pressure, violence, constant danger?" i asked.
"i ask myself the same question everyday. he's just smart which makes him a bit crazy. actually not a bit, he's fucking insane and it's hard to cope with sometimes." morty said.
"i know he said there's nothing to worry about but did you hear what those guys said? they're coming after us." i said. my emotions were catching up to me again.
"yeah i know. i know. just try not to think about it, it will be better in the morning." morty said reassuringly.
"i don't wanna sleep alone, can i sleep with you please?" i quietly asked. i think morty was hoping i'd ask that since i could imagine he didn't want to be alone either.
"yeah, come on. let's get some sleep."
we both laid down on the bed facing each other, morty pulled the covers over us both.
"i'm scared." i whispered.
"me too." morty said.
i felt his arms wrap around me and pull me closer too him. this made me feel way better. i did the same and wrapped my arms around his torso, burying my face into his chest. the scent of clean soap and pine cones was refreshing.
pov : morty
all of this is so fucked up, but at least we have each other. i felt 100000 better being with (y/n). then it hit me, she won't be here soon.
i tried to ignore it and get some sleep. besides nothing matters.
