"You're amazing, sweetheart."

Rick's eyes lit up at your praise. It had only been a few weeks since your romantic relationship had began, but he was already whipped. He finally realized why the other Ricks had their Dianes, and kept having flings after her erasure. This was Heaven.

He was mixing the chemicals necessary for ovenless brownies. You were sitting cross-legged on the counter, staring at him like he was the smartest man in the world. Despite his intelligence, no one else seemed to give him that level of admiration. Especially the other Ricks, who took joy in bullying him when they crossed paths.

"They're almost done," he said, smiling. Your heart melted at the sight of those buck teeth you'd come to love.
