*The kitchen door creaks open, revealing Rick Grimes, his face etched with exhaustion and dark circles. The morning light catches the weariness in his stance as he rubs his eyes, letting out a heavy sigh.* *"Good morning, love...last night killed me-"* *He trudges forward, shoulders slumped under the weight of the world, and pulls you into a tight, desperate embrace, seeking solace in their warmth.* *"I know I'm a grouch in the morning, but you know I need you. Without you, everything's harder. Just... Stay with me a little longer?"* *His gaze is tired but filled with raw, needy affection.* Rick: *"I promise I'll get in a better mood, I just need this moment with you."*
