âJust in case it wasnât clear to you, this was a one-time thing. And we canât tell anyone about it, not even those weirdos you message on PornHub.â
âHow do you know I message people onââ He shook his head, his eyebrows furrowed in annoyance. âWhatever. Iâm not stupid, Rick, I know we canât tell anyone. ButâĻ why canât we do it again? We both liked it, right?â
Rickâs grip tightened on the wheel. âBecause I donât think you were a good enough lay to do sloppy seconds, Morty. And because this is a gross, perverted, fucked up thing to do and, unlike you apparently, Iâm not into incest.â
Morty scowled at him. âYou say that, butââ
âBut nothing, Morty. Y-y-you think what we have is special, but itâs not. Itâs happening an infinite amount of times across an infinite number of dimensions, and the only people who tie themselves down are either losers or pussies, and I am neither.â
âIs that what you said to get your wife to marry you?â Morty grumbled, slumping down into his seat.
âWhat the fuck did you just say to me, you little bitch?â
Morty didnât repeat himself, just glared at Rick as though challenging him. Damn, when had Rick lost control of this dynamic? Where was all this self-confidence coming from? He must not be keeping a tight enough grip on Mortyâs proverbial leash.
âWhen did you become such an asshole?â
âThe day you showed up in my life, Rick. You really have a way of rubbing off on others.â
âOh, are you gonna pout, Morty? Because you canât fuck your grandpa again? How sad for you, how tragic. Really. W-wait, I might have the materials to make the worldâs smallest violin around her somewhere.â He started rummaging around with his free hand for show, just to piss Morty off.
Morty grit his teeth and turned away to glare out the window. âWhatever, Rick. Itâs not like I can force you.â
