The Project and The Party

Ricks POV


The guitar was terribly out of tune, I moved the tuning pegs around until it sounded better and started strumming some chords
"When did you learn" (y/n) asked smiling
"Oh, I was in a band a couple years ago" I smiled nervously, what if she's heard my music and hates it oh Jesus this could go terribly wrong
"please be flesh curtains" she whispered under her breath, my face lit up as I was able to make out her muttering
"It was flesh curtains" I smirked
"I knew it. I was such a fan back in the 80's" (is that when they existed?? idk) her face lit up as she grinned, 
"This is kind of awkward now" She pointed behind me to the wall, a poster of flesh curtains, me, birdperson, and squanchy, the whole package.
"But like y'know I'm not a fan anymore it's just a cool poster" she waved her hands defensively and weakly smiled
"No no you're right it's a pretty fuckin awesome poster" I stuffed my hands in my pockets and admired the poster
"Oh my god I was hot" I laughed
"Yeah, you were. I had the biggest crush on you man, it was weird" She blushed and laughed with her brows furrowed                                                                                                                                                  "I don't blame ya"                                                                                                                                                    "Ahem, well thanks for stopping by, it's been great meeting you and I'll see you tomorrow" (y/n) had enough of the awkward silence and needed me out, quickly.                                                     "Alright see you then, wait, I'm having a party tomorrow night, since you're coming round do you think you could stop by? Beth and Jerry are going to some stupid titanic thing for three days and we have the house to ourselves" I turned back around just before she closed the door, it was gonna be a pretty lit party and she wouldn't want to miss it                                                        "What are you gonna do? Play chess and shuffleboard?" She murmured                                            "No, the drugs and alcohol type of party, plus Birdperson and Squanchy will be there" I grumbled, acting unbothered as her eyes lit up at my words


"I'm in" She smiled and closed the door


Your POV


Rick walked away slowly, I slumped against the door with a smile on my face as I went over the previous events, 'why is he being so nice to me? He's an asshole to everyone else.' I thought to myself, I erased all the questions from my mind and thought about tomorrow, how I would help Morty and what I would wear for the party, although as I sat down on the couch and thought about everything I could hardly keep my eyes open and soon drifted off to sleep


*the next morning*


I yawned and my eyes fluttered opened, as my long skinny arms stretched out I stood up to go to the bathroom and checked the time
'Huh, 10:30, I'm awake early' I mumbled to myself as I brushed through my tangled hair
"aw shIT" I panicked in the mirror, only half an hour to get a shower, dry my hair and pick out clothes. Perfect.


Ricks POV


I got up from my creaky single bed and groaned as I rubbed my eyes, I smiled as I remembered (y/n) was coming over today and stood up wearily
"Okay, by mom and dad, love you!" I heard Morty talking to his parents and rushed downstairs
"Bye sweetie" I hugged Beth and kissed her on the cheek whilst glancing at (y/n)'s house, which was conveniently placed directly across from ours.
Morty sat at the table and lay out all the stuff he would need for his project
"Hey Rick, wh-when d'you think (y/n) will be here" Morty played with his fingers and sat impatiently
"I don't- URP know M-Morty, w-what do you have some sort of crush on her or something? she's like thousands of years old. I- I mean how would you feel if Summer had a thing for a vampire? she's fucking archaic, Morty. You really are you fathers son" I walked away, feeling satisfied as I heard Morty sigh from the kitchen table


Your POV


I finished drying my hair with only five minutes to spare, maybe I could be a few minutes late, I don't wanna seem too eager. I lay around for a while, greatly overestimating the amount of spare time I had 
"(Y/n), what's up" Rick smiled and fistbumped me,
'He's still being so nice, okay maybe he just genuinely likes me' I thought to myself
"Hey Rick" I smiled and went in to their kitchen
"H-hey (y/n)" Morty rubbed his arm and smiled nervously as I saw him
"Hey little man, you ready to get an A?" I ruffled his hair
"Alright so where do we begin?" I spoke as I looked through everything on the table


*time skip*


Morty and I sighed as we finished the last piece of the project, my arms were aching and my fingers were sticking together from all the glue on them, which quite frankly I was excited to peel off.
"Alright party starts in a few. get all this- URP- shit away" Rick grumbled as the house was set up for the party that was due to start soon, we quickly tidied it away in a place where no one would find it
"Good work Morty" I highfived him, I was actually proud of our work and he seemed to help a lot more than I previously expected
"You too" he smiled                                                                                                                                                 "listen rick, can you please make sure none of your alien friends destroy our project? it'll be in the garage" I spoke seriously                                                                                                                                   "you can count on me, baby" he winked, I rolled my eyes and sat on the table as I waited for guests to arrive, first came Summers friends, which all seemed like incompetent dickbags, I expressed my opinion of them to Rick and he seemed to agree and find it funny, the doorbell rang once more and Rick went to open it


"Now the real party begins" he said as he pulled down the door handle.
