Chapter Text
It’s been 3 months now, yet he’s at the same place , where he lost his wife and daughter , now drunk and all alone in his garage.
He never dared to clean the place , his heart couldn’t allow him
After all this is what left of them .. literally just shadows and dust.
Rick knew whoever looked like him cracked the code to portal travel , came through a portal and , and then threw a bomb few hours later.
at the start he was filled with vengeance.
Oh the thought of holding his throat , snapping his neck , Cutting his jugular veins
Slicing him opentearinghimapartand—…
Rick sighs as he chugs on his beer , what’s the use of revenge? Killing him wont bring his family back
Won’t make him happier.
Killing himself is out of the question, he can’t imagine her looking all disappointed in him , not only failing to protect them and failing to keep living all by himself , and he can never be sure that after death they would be together at all..
The thought gave him bad taste on his tongue.
Rick stood up from his half broken chair ,
Wearing only his light blue striped shorts and lab coat
Usually at this time he would be blackout drunk on his workbench or the couch but this time he’s sober enough to barely walk to his bed this time.
Swaying from left to right, not seeing what infront of him , only relying on his memory of the house .
whilst walking head down and failing to see the man infront of him.
Thump!
His head hit the chest of whoever is infront of him , he recoiled a bit but fall into his butt
Rick lifted his eyes a bit to see who did he bump into but his vision was double and the darkness in his garage is not helping at all.
Rick tries to stand up by putting planting both of his palms on the ground , knees down and tries to sit up but fails and falls to the side in a pathetic attempt.
The portal closes
Prime stands and watch Rick
Miserable , dirty clothes , over grown messy beard , and reeks of alcohol
“You are so pathetic”
But it seems Rick is too out of it to realize the reason of his suffering is standing in-front of him
Prime looks around the garage , and thought to himself he must’ve had multiple emotional breakdowns and trashed the place lol
Prime turned and saw Rick fast asleep on the floor
*sighs* “I thought you’d invent the Portal gun by now , not gonna lie I did not expect that to happen”
He walks through the garage to Rick’s work bench, seeing blue prints scattered on the walls and on the ground “huh.. it seems like you’re half way there , why the fuck are taking so long “
But his words falls to deaf ears
He walks back next to Rick , crouched and poke his cheek with his index finger
“I guess we improvise , come on up we go Hhup”
He sat Ricks unconscious body and hoist him up on his shoulder
Then he shot a portal and walks through it
Ignoring the mumbling mess on his shoulder
Prime walks through the other side of the portal and looks around his own place.
Rick is still completely knocked out , his head hanging down his back as Prime carries him.
“Yeesh.. how much did you drink?”
No answer.
Prime shifts Rick a little higher on his shoulder , annoyed by how heavy he suddenly feels. And smack his ass playfully
Rick mumbles something.
Prime pauses.
“What?”
Rick mumbles again , something completely incoherent.
Prime sighs.
“Yeah , sure , whatever you say.”
He continues walking.
He was expecting Rick to at least wake up when he went through the portal , maybe scream , maybe punch him , maybe try to kill him.
Anything really.
Instead he’s carrying a drunk version of himself who can barely keep his eyes open.
“You know , I was expecting more from you
To be the second person to invent the portal gun” said Prime as he pat Rick back/ass
