@mcltiples sent: "I’m in love with you." { To Evil Rick from Weird Rick // i guess he felt the need to say this xD } Send "I’m in love with you." to see how my muse reacts.

The words had been spoken out of the blue, with no warning or preamble. Nothing in the current circumstances could have suggested that such an admission could come, especially not when they had spent the last half an hour in almost complete silence.
Rick was sitting in one of the chairs, absorbed in the book he was leafing through, while his partner was sprawled on the couch, watching what he assumed being some kind of TV show. Perhaps if he had paid more attention to what was happening on the screen, he might have gotten an inkling that a declaration might be coming, but he had hardly spared it a glance when he had stepped in the living room.
His hand froze mid-gesture, the half-turned page firmly held in his fingers. Grey blue eyes left the written words to land on his alternate's figure, as a hint of confusion curled his lips in a brief frown. This wasn't the first time the other had made that claim, and yet it always caught him off guard. He still wasn't used to it, just as he wasn't used to the puzzling mix of emotions that it elicited inside him.
Not to mention that it always left him feeling lacking since he was unable to return those feelings. That last thought, however, was something he didn't allow himself to linger on. After all, his partner had made it clear since the start that he didn't care if he was biologically unable to feel the same. He didn't need it because in his opinion Rick made up for it in plenty of other ways.

"Y-Yes, you made me aware of that, Rick," he spoke up after a few moments of silence. "An-And I treasure it like the unique gift it is."
Setting the book down on the table, Rick silently stood up, making his way to the couch and moving to take a seat in the spot that was still unoccupied. There hadn't been a request for him to do so, not even an implicit one, but his researches had taught him that this sort of talks required intimacy. Something that was hard to achieve with a several feet separating them.
His gaze touched the TV with evident disinterest that, however, quickly turned into sharp focus as he moved it on his partner.
"C-Can I ask what brought it up?"
