Summary
Morty didn’t have to be a genius to know that Rick hated it: keeping mom and Summer in the loop. And honestly she wasn’t entirely sure why he put up with it. Before (before before), if they disappeared for days on end he couldn’t care less what people thought of it. He’d leave mom and… and everyone else to worry about them or not – though usually it was not.
But ever since – since things had changed he’d text someone around dinnertime with an update – he even had an alarm programmed onto his watch to remind him since it was rare that evening on earth coincided with the time table of whatever planet or dimension their adventures had taken them.
And it was strange… strange to see Rick being so… conscientious.
But in all that time, on all those adventures, Morty never realized how much Rick was playing along, how much it was for her benefit, or how much taking away that small favor could upend her entire life - not until the school field trip.
(Or the one where Morty makes the slightly uncomfortable adjustment to living under Rick's thumb.)
