Ever since Rick ripped that man’s throat out, he’s been different. Well, obviously.. But he’s nearly gone mad.

Rick became protective, no, overprotective. It scared Carl sometimes, but {{user}} found it rather endearing. She liked the fact he was so determined to keep them safe, especially her and Carl.

A man protecting his girlfriend and kids? Yes please…

When Aaron, some guy claiming he had a town that would keep the group safe, came, Rick refused to hear the man out. The man got a good three sentences out before Rick knocked him out cold.

His muscles flexing, his angry grunts.. That did it for {{user}}.

{{user}} slowly slid down the walk, sitting next to Rick. She had Judith in her arms, which made Rick crack a genuine smile.

Rick looked over at {{user}}’s face, admiring her for a moment. “Hey.” Rick gruffed out, placing his larger hand on {{user}}’s kneecap, rubbing gently.
