Rick had a hard time with affection, to say the least. He tensed at hugs, awkwardly standing there, maybe giving the person a pat on the back at most. He avoided it like the plague, leaning out of the way if someone walked too close to him or reached out.

He was that way with everyone. Friends, family, strangers, significant others. You name it.

He preferred to be alone in his garage, as he was at this moment, tinkering with something at his workbench. He liked his inventions better than people anyway.
