Welcome Home//Rick Sanchez X Reader

7) Don't you know I'm no good for you?

(flash back)

You sigh, reading Romeo and Juliet as you sit in a tree outside yours and BirdPerson's house.

It's been a year and a half since you've met Rick and a month or so since you and BP moved out.

You let out a heavy, long sigh, throwing your head back slightly. You've read this book about 3 times now, but you've got nothing to do and you're reeeaaally bored.

"Hey." you look down and see Rick standing underneath the branch you sit on, his hands in his jacket pockets, looking up at you with a smirk "May I join you?"

You blush slightly and nod, smiling a little. Rick chuckles softly and climbs up the tree. He sits on the branch you sit on, sitting without even caring if he would fall or not.

"What you reading, nerd?" Rick asks, smiling. You blush a little more, brushing a strand of hair behind your ear.

"Romeo and Juliet..." you mumble, looking down at the book "Again..."

"I think I had to read that for school. It sucks." you look up at Rick with a sigh, nodding slowly.

"It is quite stupid to me, but I kind of enjoy the end." you sigh again "I love how Romeo loves Juliet so much that he'd kill himself to be with her."

"Then she woke up and killed herself to be with him." Rick adds. You give him a light smile, closing the book. You pull your knees to your chest as you hug the book in your arms.

"What's your favorite quote from the book?" you ask Rick, who slightly blushes. He clears his throat and slides a bit closer to you.

"L-love is heavy and light, bright and dark, hot and cold, sick and healthy, asleep and awake~" Rick looks you in the eyes, smiling sweetly "It's everything except what it is." Rick says in a soft tone.

"Do you really believe that?" you ask tilting your head slightly as you feel your cheeks flush.

"Yeah." Rick nods his head slowly "I might not really believe in a lot of things, but I know that love is an amazing thing." you smile at Rick and push your glasses back up your nose bridge.

"You seem to know a lot about love." you drop your legs over the branch as you place the book on your lap.

"I know that love doesn't know age and that it's patient..." Rick sighs and looks away "And that true love isn't really when two people touch each other, it's when two people touch each other's souls."

"That's beautiful, Rick." you say with a smile. Rick blushes when he looks at you. He shyly scratches the back of his neck, smiling at you.

"Th-thanks..." you scoot a little closer to Rick, without him even noticing since he's looking around to see if BP is near. Rick looks back at you, his cheeks still kind of pink "S-so, um, what's your favorite quote?"

"Um..." you mumble, looking down at the book cover "Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs." you say softly, looking up at Rick.

"Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers’ eyes." Rick continues, scooting a bit closer to you.

"Being vex’d a sea nourish’d with lovers’ tears." you both say together. Rick leans down to you, slowly. Your heart races as you move closer to him, closing your eyes.

Rick gently brushes his lips to yours before closing his eyes, moving his hand to your cheek. You blush, pushing yourself a bit closer to Rick.

After a few moments, Rick pulls away from you, opening his eyes. You open yours, blushing even more once you see Rick's pink cheeks.
