~VAAAAAAT? TWO CHAPTERS IN ONE DAY?! HOLY FUCK IT'S MAGIC! *poof* HERE'S YOUR NEW CHAPTER MY LOVELIES :)))))~

Rick's POV (I know we've been doing Rick's POV a lot but I'll stop when I think someone else's POV is more important >:v)

I haven't left my garage in a week, I haven't left Y/N in a week, I haven't eaten in a week, I haven't drank in a week-well, except for those couple of days Morty would bring in some water to make sure I survive, I haven't let go of her hand in a week, and sometimes my grip on her hand gets so hard my knuckles turn white. I never thought I'd love again until I met her, and I'm close to accepting the fact that she's gone, that the love of my life is gone, but my heart won't let me. My brain wants to go down the path of acceptance, but my heart wants to go down the path of hope and determination. Sometimes, if I concentrate, I can feel her grip back-wait...

She is gripping back.

Your POV

You're floating in the darkness that swallowed you up, the rope bruising on your neck, your soul waiting to be accepted into the underworld. You hear a faint voice as a vision of your body appeared. You see something, no, someone holding your hand. Grayish skin, long fingers entangled with yours, could it be...

Rick?

You ran/swam to your body to see your vision clear up a bit. It was Rick. He was... Crying? You hear the voice grow clearer. It was raspy and low, it was Rick's.

"Y/N, please, don't do this to us. Don't leave us. Don't leave... Me. Y/N... I love you." He lied his head in his arms on the table, still holding your hand. You tried your best to get to him, but something was holding you back. It was like the chains of the reaper wanting to take your soul.

"No, no, no, no, no! I changed my mind! I don't want to die yet! RICK!!!" You saw him look up at you, not at your body, but at you, and looked back down after he realized it was nothing. You groaned and continued to try and get to him. You continued to struggle, and you finally broke free after a week of struggling. You felt your feet land on the floor of the garage as you ran back to your body and placed your hand into your body again to squeeze back.

"Rick... I love you too."

You wake up on the table in Rick's garage. You turn your head to see Rick holding your hand, but when he saw you were awake, his face lit up slightly. He quickly let go of your hand and ran to the garage door as you sat up.

"GUYS! SHE'S AWAKE!"

You saw everyone practically push each other over as they stumbled into the garage, wrapping their arms around you. It was one big group hug that you hesitated to join, but you were in the middle of it, so you smiled and hugged back. Rick was standing off to the side while everyone let go and walked out, except for Beth, who whispered in your ear during the hug, "Rick saved you. He didn't leave the garage for a week, until you woke up."

The events of the week before come crashing down on you. Wait, what? Rick saved you? Once beth left, you got up and walked to the tall, slender man, wondering why on earth a man like him would stay with you until you woke up, let alone save you. "Hey, Rick?" He snapped out of his thoughts as he jumped a little. "Sorry for startling you, I just wanted to ask," He looked at you with a calm and somewhat caring face and made a noise, telling you to continue with what you were saying.

"Why did you save me and stay with me?" (oh darling staaaaaaay with meeee I'm not sorry) His expression changed to a more nervous one as his face turned red and he started rubbing the back of his neck. "W-w-well, uh... Th-the family would be... Sad, yeah, a-a-and... I don't want the sadness to interrupt my work, Y-y-you know?"

You rolled your eyes, cupped his cheeks in your hands, stood on your toes, and pushed your lips into his. His eyes widen as his face somehow went redder and hesitated for a moment, but eventually, his eyes closed and he kissed back, grabbing your waist and pulling you closer to him as you wrapped your arms around his neck. You pulled away to tell him "I heard you last week. I love you too, Rick." He immediately pulled you back in for another kiss, this one lasting longer.

You guys didn't notice someone had opened the door to the garage until you heard Summer let out a fangirl squeal and the snap of a camera shutter. Rick immediately pulled away and let go to scold Summer, causing you to internally whine at the loss. What you found amusing, was the whole time Rick was yelling at Summer, she was basically teasing him and her answer to almost every question he asked was "because I ship it" followed by an evil smirk. He eventually got fed up with Summer and told her to get out and slammed the door in her face. You could still hear her snickering on the other side of the door before you heard her footsteps walk away from the door. He walked back over to you and immediately pulled you closer to him again.

"Now, where were we?~"
