You tried to go over to Morty's house more often. You tried to see his grandpa as much as you could. Whenever you were around Rick you just felt... different.
"Y/n? Y/n!" Morty yelled, shocking you out of your thoughts. "What's up with you lately? You seem out of it all the time." Morty asked, a concerned look on his face.
"Don't worry about me, Morty! I'm fine. What were we talking about again?" You asked.
"I-I was asking you if you could stay the night? I talked for like, 5 minutes. H-how didn't you catch any of that?" Morty said, seeming a little annoyed.
"Sorry Morty. I'll call my mom." You said. He followed you to the kitchen and you picked up the house phone. Your mom let you stay the night but you and Morty had to bike down to your house to get PJs and clothes for tomorrow.

As you biked back up to Morty's, you biked in silence. Both you and Morty were kinda soft spoken, and you went a lot of the time in silence. Although, when you got giggly together, there was NO stopping you two.
"Y/n, I wanna know why you're so dreamy lately." Morty said, still staring straight ahead.
"Morty, i said it's fine. I've just been thinking. I'll try not to be so out of it anymore."
"Alright, okay." Morty said. You could tell he wanted to say more, but it's not like you could just tell him, 'oh yeah, and i have a crush on your grandpa.'

  /time skip, you're at the house/

You and Morty were up in his room, laughing at funny videos on his laptop. It was getting kinda late, and eventually Morty fell asleep on your shoulder. You smiled and then moved slowly so that you wouldn't stir him and took the warm laptop off of his lap. You shut the laptop and put it down on his desk and then crept downstairs to get a glass of water.
You were pouring water into a glass for yourself in the dark kitchen when someone grabbed your shoulder.
"M-Morty!" Rick started.
"AAH! Oh my God, Rick?! You-"
"Morty, shut your mouth! You're gonna wake up your parents!" Rick scolded.
"But I-"
"We're going on an adventure! Come on!"
Rick grabs your arm and drags you to the garage. You shiver slightly at his touch.
He climbs into his spacecraft frantically and turns the key in the ignition.
"Come on!" He yells, without looking back. You decide to comply and hop into his ship.
He flies out of the garage and by the time he's out of earth's atmosphere he looks over at you and jumps in his seat.
"You're not Morty!"
"I've been trying to tell you that!" You yell.
"For fuck's sake, y/n! Y-you can't just let people walk all *eeeugh* over you like that!"
"Rick, you wouldn't let me talk!"
"Whatever, I'll have to make do with you." Rick sighs, exasperated. "We're going to another planet to steal a crystal I need for my next project. It's purple and sparkly. If you see it, let me know. Okay?"
"Okay." You said. It was so cute how Rick was facing you to talk to you and making sure you understood every little bit. It was almost... endearing.
