"(y/n).". You were propped up against something, blood pooling around you from the stab wound.

It was disorienting but you looked forward, Rick now kneeling in front of you. "R-rick..".

Though it was hard to focus properly. "..hey..".

The man took your hands in his, a soft smile on his lips. "Are you- are you alright?".

The pain makes you groan once more but you push through it.

"I am, but you're not..".

His eyes flash from the stab wound, back to you. "...I'm going to need you to wake up (y/n)..".

'What?' "What are you talking about? I'm already awake.".

Rick shook his head, his hands not leaving yours. "You're not awake, that's why i'm going to need you to wake up.".

"Rick..".

This was all confusing for you. Why was he saying these things?.

"Wake up (y/n)-.".

"I am awake...". You reply, though the pain makes you groan once more.

"Wake up.". He says once more, "WAKE UP!".

//

*Beeping* *Beeping*.

You gasped, body jolting awake. You started to cough violently, your hands clutching the soft blankets surrounding you.

The machines start beeping like crazy but you don't hear them. You're too focused on what the fuck just happened, the words 'wake up.', filling your thoughts.

"What- what the fuck?".

Your eyes darted around the room but when you realised you were in a completely different room things just became all the more confusing.  "What the hell...?".

"(y/n)?".

Your head snaps in the direction of the door...and that's when you see Rick. He looks completely drained, his eyes red though you're not sure why, and it looks like relief just washed over him. "Rick..".

...that's when you slowly start to remember. Jotunheim, the lab, all those fucked up experiments and the fight between him and Chrstopher. It's still a bit blurry but you remember jumping in front of Rick before he could get stabbed, and Rick picking you up and leaving the room to get you to help. Though the rest is still pretty blurry.

He looks frozen, not really believing that he was seeing you awake. Fine. He had thought you wouldn't be coming back to him. There was a lot of blood and the doctors said it would be a miracle if you made it. Turns out you did.

"Thank god.". These are the only words he mutters before running over to you, and sitting on an empty spot of the bed. His hands grab onto yours, but his hands are shaking like crazy.

"Rick, I...".

"I thought I lost you..".

Up close you can see the tear stains, and the oncoming tears. "...I really thought I lost you..".

Over the months you've known Rick, you found out how much he's lost. He's lost so many people on the job, and the amount of pain he's been through is horrible.

"..I...". You scootch closer to him, "I'm sorry.. I know you've lost so much, but saving you was the only thought I had in that moment.". You let out a soft sigh, trying to come up with other words.
