Anyone else ever think about how, in the season 3 finale, Rick is fighting the weird, feral, presidential children, and he just weirdly has a bunch of candy to throw at them to distract them?
Well. Headcanon incoming.

Rick was turning to yell at Morty about picking up the pace when he paused to take in his
appearance. Morty had a sheen of sweat across his face, and was visibly shaking as he reached out his hands to look beneath a large purple leaf. He seemed to be concentrating on his breathing, inhaling and exhaling with as much measure as he could instill while also trembling
with each exhalation. Rickâs cybernetic eye scanned his temperature and vitals to make sure the little idiot hadnât gotten stung by an alien insect or stuck his dick in something poisonous. The nanobots in his bloodstream reported all areas were normal, with the exception of a
somewhat significant drop in blood sugar levels.
Oh.
âMorty, when did you last eat something?â
Morty startled at the sudden question, and dropped the leaf he was holding as he turned.
âUm... I guess last night? I didnât have a chance to eat breakfast, and you pulled me out

of school before lunch...â
Morty trailed off and avoided looking directly at Rick, uncomfortable with the level of scrutiny his grandpa seemed to be looking at him with.

Rick processed this information, and patted his coat pockets, half searching out his flask with one hand,
as the other continued searching. Finally, he managed to scrounge up a couple of wafer cookies and a grape lollipop. Rick didnât tend to keep food on him, as his diet tended to be more liquid based, but he did have something of a sweet tooth.

Morty. âItâs not much, but something simple and sugary is going to be quickest way to feel better.â
Morty blinked down at the collection of sweets in his hands as though he wasnât sure what he was supposed to do with them. Rick cleared his throat and took a pull from his flask.

âWell, wh-what are you waiting for? A fucking wine menu? Get - eat that shit fast so your hands stop shaking like youâre Michael J Fox, and you can help - you can get back to what I need you for.â

Morty didnât say
anything about the incident on the way home. When heâd tried to thank Rick during the walk back to the ship, heâd been met with a response that was more belch than word, so heâd assumed Rick didnât want to linger on the topic.

After that, Rick seemed to notice a lot.
