For the song, you have to skip ahead a little

Your POV 

Grabbing Rick's hand I pulled him into his room, helping him get his lab coat and shoes off he laid down. Looking over I sat on the side of the bed as he turned to look at me. Sleep was finally catching up with him. He was going to sleep for about 12 hours and I knew it. Looking at him I smiled gently as he looked at him. 

"Are you going to be here when I wake up? I'm scared I fell asleep and you'll be gone when I wake up" 

Grabbing his hand gently I sighed a little. "I'm not going anywhere, I'll be right over in that chair when you wake up" 

He nodded and I leaned down to kiss his forehead as if he was a child that didn't want to go to bed. He looked up at me before he smiled a little. Closing his eyes I stood up and closed the door as I clicked the light for the lamp that was on the opposite wall to his bed on. Turning off the light for the room I looked at him and sat down to read some of the books that were on his bookshelf. 

Flipping the book open I heard him start to snore. Glancing over to him I watched him roll over as he pulled the blanket closer to him. 

~6 hours later~ 

I jumped as I heard Rick scream as he sat up. Practically throwing the book onto the floor I got up and sat on the bed next to him. Grabbing his hand he looked over to me as he breathed heavily, beads of sweat across his forehead. He calmed down as he looked at me before he pulled me closer to him. 

"What happened?" I asked as I leaned into his chest. He wrapped his arms around me as he crossed his legs. Pulling me over he shook his head. I put my hands on his arm and looked up at him. As he was staring off into space I poked his nose. He looked down at me and tilted his head. 

"Tell me what happened" 

Nodding he started to explain. "You had just left to go visit your aunt and whatever. It was when we had that fight and I went into the living room and watched some TV. I didn't seem to care that you were mad at me. Grabbing my flask again I started to drink more than I used to. You came home early and found me drinking in the garage and that was when you told me that you didn't want to see me ever again and I didn't stop you. We got the call at about midnight that you had. killed yourself." 

Feeling some drops of water on my arm I looked up to see him crying. Rick Sanchez was crying. Sitting up I grabbed his hands as I sat on my legs. He looked up to me and sniffed a little. 

"I'm not going anywhere, I've already told you that. Your subconcious is only trying to trick you." I said as he looked at me and nodded. "What do you feel?" 

"It fucking hurts." he said as his right hand clutched his shirt that was above his heart. Moving closer to him I reached up to cup his face. He looked at me and blinked the tears away as much as he could. Before I could say anything his hands grabbed my hips and pulled me onto his lap as he wrapped his arms around my waist tightly. Wrapping my arms around his shoulders I rubbed his back as his sobs slowly turned to sniffles. 

"How do you feel now?" I asked as I pulled away from him and wiped the tears away with my thumbs. He leaned into my hands as I did before his hands grabbed my wrists lightly. "Better, I just. I just don't know how I would live without you in my life. These past couple of years have been the best ones of my life. Going with you on adventures and getting your help in the garage. They've been worth coming back. I don't want to lose you" 

Pulling him back over I hugged him tightly. I leaned into his hold as he buried his face in my neck. I stayed like that until he pulled away again. Sighing he looked at me. "Will you stay with me?" I tilted my head as i nodded. "I'll be in the chair again" He shook his head as he looked down for a second. "No I mean't in the bed next to me. I would sleep better if you were" he said. Smiling gently I nodded as he turned a light shade of pink. Standing up he moved over and let me under the covers with him. He wrapped his arms around me slowly before he pulled me closer to him. I turned onto my side so he could pull me into his chest while he put his chin on my head. I heard him sniff a couple times before I kissed his chest a little. 

Feeling his heart race a little under my touch I hummed gently. He moved as he wrapped his arms around me a little more and pulled me even closer. Resting my hand on his chest I laid there until I heard him fall asleep. His snoring was the only sound in the room besides the clicking of the clock that was on his wall. Closing my eyes I fell asleep slowly.
