Forever and Always - A Noah Centineo Imagine

A/N: Hey Everyone! I’m finally back with a new Noah imagine. I’m sorry it took me so long to post this prompt, which was requested a while ago. I actually finished it a few weeks ago but just didn’t have the chance to put it up, but now I do, so here it is! I hope you like it and thank you for your request. I had a lot of fun writing this and I hope you guys enjoy it too! Let me know what y’all think, any feedback is appreciated! 

Prompt request:

#4 “You look amazing.”

#10 “You know I never wanted to lie to you.”

****

Being in love is the most beautiful thing in the world, especially when the person you love, loves you back. (Y/N) was currently in love with someone and was lucky enough to call him her boyfriend. She met Noah through a mutual friend at a dinner party and immediately had a strong connection to him. They spent most of that party with each other and became super close, super fast. Even though everyone knew that they were clearly head over heels for each other, it was oblivious to the both of them, which was the reason why they didn't date for quite a while. Luckily Noah did have the courage to confess his feelings to (Y/N) one day which led to them going on their first date just about six months ago.

They've been inseparable ever since and spent almost every day together. Even though it wasn't always easy dating a young, hot-shot actor like Noah, especially with him being so busy with his tight schedule most of the time, they wouldn't trade each other for the world. Ever since his two movies on Netflix released, Noah's life had drastically changed. He gained millions of followers overnight and quickly made himself a name as the 'Internet's boyfriend'. (Y/N) was proud of her boyfriend and of how far he'd come and supported him all the way, which wasn't something Noah took for granted. A lot of his relationships had failed due to his job, but (Y/N) knew how hard the entertainment business was because she was a part of it too.

(Y/N) was a blogger and also had her own YouTube channel where she made fashion and lifestyle videos as well as vlogs where she shared her daily life online with her audience. She loved her job and was very grateful for everything that came out of it, but of course it was also very hard sometimes and required a lot of effort and time. While (Y/N) mostly worked from home, where she had her own little office, Noah was always on the road, filming and doing promo's for new movies and projects he was working on, just like he was doing right now.

He was filming the sequel to 'To All The Boys I've Loved Before' in Vancouver and even though (Y/N) was really excited for him, she couldn't help but feel a little sad about it too. They were supposed to celebrate (Y/N)'s birthday together next week, but unfortunately Noah couldn't clear his schedule from filming, which meant that he couldn't be with her like they'd originally planned. (Y/N) usually didn't make a big fuss about her birthdays, but this year was different. It was her first birthday with Noah as her boyfriend and she was really excited to spend that day with him. Of course she understood that Noah couldn't just take a day off whenever he wanted, no matter how much she'd love to have him there.

****

It was (Y/N)'s 23rd birthday today and she was getting ready for the day, when she got a Facetime call from Noah. (Y/N) couldn't help but smile as she answered the call. She waited for it to connect and when it did, she saw a wide grinning Noah staring back at her.  

“Happy birthday, baby.” He greeted her before making a kissing face into the camera.

“Thank you, sweetie. I wish you were here with me, though.” (Y/N) answered, pouting a little at him.

“Yeah, me too. I hate that I couldn't clear my schedule for you. I swear I'm gonna be grumpy all day and let everyone know how upset I am about not being able to be with my girlfriend on her special day.” He said, looking at (Y/N).

“You're so sweet, Noah, but you don't have to do that. We'll just celebrate my birthday when you're back from shooting, okay?” She said, looking back at Noah with a small smile on her face. He nodded and smiled back at her.

“Anwaay, where are you right now?” (Y/N) asked, noticing a different, unfamiliar looking background behind Noah.

He quickly answered, “I'm just in my trailer, waiting to be called back on set.” (Y/N) noticed his sudden nervousness, but didn't ask any further and chose to believe him instead. The two of them spoke for another half hour until it was time for Noah to leave again.

“Shoot, looks like I gotta go, babe. I miss you so much and wish I was there to celebrate you, but I hope you have an amazing day, nevertheless.”

(Y/N) smiled at that, “I miss you too, honey. This day won't be the same without you, but I'll still try to have some fun. I love you, Noah.”

“I love you too, baby. I talk to you soon, okay? Bye.” He blew a few kisses at (Y/N) and she returned the favor, her heart aching at the thought of spending her birthday without him. They hung up and (Y/N) sighed quietly, before she finished getting ready for the day.

Once (Y/N) was ready for the day, her best friend Emma came over to spend the day with her.

“Happy birthday, bestie. I know you're sad that Noah can't be here, but I promise we'll still make the most of this day. I have everything planned out for us already and it's gonna be freaking amazing!” Emma said enthusiastically as she hugged (Y/N).

“Thanks, Em, but I don't really feel like celebrating today. I'd rather just stay in and watch Netflix or something.” (Y/N) told her, missing Noah like crazy already and not wanting to have fun without him. She hated that she felt so attached to him and how her mood mostly depended on him, but she didn't have any contol over the way she felt about him. Everything with Noah was still so new and yet she was head over heels in love with him already. Even though they spent most of their time together, she still missed him whenever they weren't. (Y/N) knew that today was supposed to be all about her, and she appreciated that Emma was there to be with her, but for some reason it felt wrong to celebrate her birthday without Noah.

“No, there's no way you're staying here. Don't be one of those girls that can't have fun without their boyfriends around, especially on a day that's supposed to be all about you. I know that Noah would want you to enjoy yourself today so, c'mon, (Y/N). I promise, it'll be fun.” Emma gave (Y/N) a pleading look as she waited for her to say something.

She sighed, knowing Emma was right. “Okay, fine, I'll go with you. But please promise me it's just gonna be me and you today, and that you didn't make a big fuss about my birthday because you know how much I hate that.”

Emma squeaked a little before hugging (Y/N) again. “Well all I can promise is that you're gonna have a birthday you'll never forget.”

(Y/N) raised her brows suspiciously, “What's that supposed to mean, Em?”

“You'll see. Now, come on, let's get you ready for your special day.” Emma said, pulling (Y/N) towards her closet.

“But I am ready. What's wrong with what I'm wearing right now?” (Y/N) asked, looking down at herself. She was wearing her favorite denim skirt and a cute little white blouse on top as well as some golden earrings. She loved her outfit and didn't understand why she needed to change for whatever Emma had planned for them.

“Nothing's wrong with your outfit, (Y/N), you look great. But you don't just want to look great for whatever I've got planned for us, you want to look your very best, so let's go and see what you've got in here.”

(Y/N) sighed again before she followed Emma, who was already looking for an outfit in (Y/N)'s walk-in-closet. For the next hour or so, the both of them worked on (Y/N)'s new outfit and even changed up her hair and make-up.

Once they were ready with everything, (Y/N) finally looked at herself in the full-length mirror to see the end result. She was now wearing a burgundy colored dress with no sleeves that perfectly showed of (Y/N)'s curves and it also had an open back, which was probably her favorite part about the whole outfit. She paired the dress with silver stilettos and a matching clutch and perfected her look with some silver hoop earrings and a beautiful heart shaped necklace that Noah had given her for their six month anniversary a few weeks ago. (Y/N)'s usual, long, straight hair was curly and pulled up into a half bun, which she wore in honor of Noah since that was his favorite hairstyle on her. Her make up was rather light and sweet while her red lips that matched the color of the dress, complimented the rest of her look perfectly.

“Damn, you were right, Em, I do look great in this dress. In fact this whole outfit makes the other one look boring and out of style. I'm so glad I listened to you and put this on.” (Y/N) said as she smoothed the dress over her body.

“Of course I was right. Now come on, pose for the camera. I'm gonna snap some sweet pictures for your Instagram because you need to share this look with the world, girl.” Emma said before taking a few pictures of (Y/N)'s look.

“Wow, these are some great shots, Em.” (Y/N) said as she scrolled through her phone to look at the pictures her best friend had taken of her.

Emma just shrugged and answered, “Don't forget to tag me, babe.”

(Y/N) laughed and quickly made her post on Instagram before she put her phone away and looked back at her best friend.

“Okay, now that I look the part, can you finally tell me what you've got planned for us and why I had to dress up like a Hollywood star that's going to a red carpet event?” She asked, raising her brows at Emma.

“Well, I can't tell you anything, besides that we're going somewhere else. So put on this blindfold and then we're ready to go.” Emma pulled out a blindfold and walked behind (Y/N) to put it on her but (Y/N) just shook her head at that.

“A blindfold, are you serious, Em? There's no way I'm putting that on.” (Y/N) protested, shaking her head.

Emma gave her a pleading look and said, “Please?”

“Uggh, fine.” (Y/N) sighed and turned around so Emma could put the blindfold on her.

“Yes, I promise you're going to love what I've got planned for us.” Emma responded with a smile as she put the blindfold on.

(Y/N) answered, “Well, let's hope you're right about that.”

Emma turned (Y/N) around and took her hand in hers, guiding her outside to her car. Once they were both safely in the car, Emma turned on the engine and made her way over to a secret location, where she'd planned to surprise (Y/N).

****

Half an hour later they arrived at the secret destination where Emma parked her car before getting out of the car and opening the door for (Y/N).  

“Here, take my hand again. We're almost there.” Emma carefully took (Y/N)'s hand and helped her out of the car. She then led (Y/N) inside the cabin that she'd rented for the day, where (Y/N)'s surprise was already waiting for them.

“Okay, you can take your blindfold off now.” Emma told (Y/N) when they made it inside the cabin. (Y/N) let out a small breath before she removed her blindfold. It took her a second to adjust her eyes to the brightness of the room, but once she did, she saw all of her closest friends and family staring at her in anticipation.

“SURPRISE!” They all yelled with big smiles on their faces and a couple of them were even filming the situation to capture (Y/N)'s reaction.

“What the hell?” (Y/N) asked confused as she stared back at everyone.

Emma turned to (Y/N) and smiled. She took both of (Y/N)'s hands in hers before she said, “Happy Birthday, (Y/N). I know you don't like to make a big fuss out of your birthdays, but I just wanted to give back to you for everything you've done for me over the last couple of years, because I love you so much. You're my best friend in the entire world and deserve to have the best day ever, which is why I planned all this just for you.”

(Y/N) felt tears stinging in her eyes as she looked back at her best friend. She wrapped her arms around Emma, pulling her in for a tight hug.

“Wow, I don't even know what to say, Em. I can't believe you did all of this for me.” (Y/N) whispered to her, her voice shaking a little.

“You don't need to say anything. All I want you to do is have fun today and let us celebrate you on your special day.” Emma answered as they pulled apart from the hug, smiling back at (Y/N).

(Y/N) nodded with teary eyes before she turned her attention towards her guests. “Hi everyone! I don't know what to say because I'm still in shock, but I'm very grateful to have you all here. I can't believe you're all here to celebrate my birthday with me. Thank you so much you, guys.” (Y/N) smiled at all her guests who all started clapping after her little speech.

(Y/N) then took the time to look around the room for the first time and saw lots of balloons scattered around the floor and the ceiling. There was a huge banner on the wall that read: 'Happy 23rd Birthday (Y/N)!' and a big table with different snacks and drinks was set up in the corner of the room. The highlight of the party though was the karaoke booth that was set up on the other side of the room where music was currently playing out of the boxes. It was the perfect party and (Y/N) couldn't help but tear up again as she let it all sink in.

“Wow, everything looks so amazing. Thank you so much for setting this up, Em.” (Y/N) said, making Emma smile.

“Of course. Now, come on, let's go and say hi to everybody.” (Y/N) nodded and mingled with her guests for a while, saying hello and catching up with them.

After (Y/N) made her rounds and talked to everyone it was time to open gifts. Everyone gathered around her as she sat down at the table with all the gifts and presents.

“Wow, you guys. This is too much. You really didn't have to do all this for me.” (Y/N) said as she stared at all the gifts in front of her.

“Hey, it's no big deal, (Y/N), really. If someone deserve a great birthday with great presents, it's you. So, stop thanking us and start open your presents. I'm dying to see your reaction to mine.” Lauren, one of (Y/N)'s friends, who was also a fellow YouTuber, said to her as she handed her present over first.

(Y/N) laughed before she started opening her presents. For the next few minutes (Y/N) unwrapped the rest of her gifts which she all loved. She couldn't believe that all of her friends went above and beyond just for her, and even though she was incredibly grateful for all the effort and time they've put in for this party, (Y/N) still felt a little sad about not having Noah with her today. She tried not to think about him though and put a smile on her face, allowing herself to enjoy the rest of the party with her friends.

“Shoot, I just realized that I left my present in the car. I'll be right back, okay?” Emma suddenly said before she rushed over to the door to get to her car.

“No, it's okay, Em. I don't need a present from you. You already-” But before (Y/N) could finish her sentence Emma was already out the door.

(Y/N) looked at her friends and asked, “Do you guys know what she's up to again?” but all of them just shrugged nonchalantly. (Y/N) sighed and turned her attention back towards the door. A few minutes later Emma walked back in, but there was no present in her hands. (Y/N) looked at her confused but before she could ask her what was going on, Emma spoke up.

“Okay, (Y/N), your present is right outside, but I didn't have time to wrap it which is why I need you to close your eyes for a second.” Emma announced, grinning at her. She felt everyone's eyes on her and saw them smiling weirdly at her as if they all knew something she didn't.

“What is going on here?” She asked confused, looking back at everyone.

“Will you just close your eyes please? Or do I need to put on the blindfold again?” Emma asked, pulling out the blindfold again.

(Y/N) quickly shook her head at that and closed her eyes. “Alright, my eyes are closed, now.”

“Okay, just give me a second.” Emma answered as she walked back outside to grab the present.

“Can I open my eyes now?” (Y/N) asked after a while, getting a little impatient.

“Yeah, you can open them now. I hope you like my present, (Y/N).” She heard her best friend say. (Y/N) opened her eyes and when she saw what her present was, she instantly felt her eyes fill with tears again.

“Surprise! You didn't really think that I would miss your birthday, did you, babe?” Her boyfriend Noah asked, as he stood in front of her, with a wide smile on his face and a beautiful bouquet of flowers in his hands.

“Oh my gosh, Noah!” (Y/N) exclaimed in disbelief as she rushed over to him. Noah handed the flowers over to Emma just in time for his girlfriend to jump into his arms. (Y/N)'s friends all watched the scene with tears in their eyes, some of them capturing the surprise with their phones.

“I don't understand how you're here, right now. Didn't you say that you couldn't clear your schedule for today?” (Y/N) held on to her boyfriend and sobbed into his neck, smudging Noah's white shirt with her tears and make up.

Noah pulled back from (Y/N) to look at her, his eyes also filled with tears. “I've known for a while that I was available for your birthday, but I wanted to suprise you, which is why I didn't say anything to you. I obviously needed some help to plan everything, so I called Emma and once I told her about my plans, she immediately agreed to help me out and set this whole surprise party up. I know I basically lied to you when I said I couldn't come, and I hope you're not mad about that. You know I never wanted to lie to you, but I had to in order to surprise you and for everything to work out.”

(Y/N) put both of her hands on each side of Noah's face and smiled, “Don't worry about that, I'm not mad at all. How could I be, when you flew all the way from Vancouver just to surprise me for my birthday? I can't believe you did that for me.” She started to tear up again as she looked at him and Noah immediately wrapped his arms around her.

“Please don't cry, baby, you're gonna make me cry too.” Noah said as he gently wiped at a tear that was rolling down her cheek.  

“You're already crying.” (Y/N) said, pointing at his face.

“What? No, I'm not, I mean, I wasn't crying. I just had something in my eyes.” He wiped at his eyes and laughed a little before he said, “I would do anything for you, (Y/N). I'd fly to the end of the world and beyond just to be with you.”

(Y/N) smiled and leaned in, kissing him for the first time in weeks. She knew that her friends were all watching, but she didn't care about that. She only cared about this moment with Noah and to finally be reunited with him.

“I missed you so much, Noah. I can't believe you're actually here right now. I'm so happy, it feels like I'm dreaming.” She said, once they pulled apart from each other.

Noah poked at her nose and smiled, “You're not dreaming, (Y/N), I'm really here and I'll be here for the rest of the week. Happy birthday, baby.”

“Thank you, sweetie. This is the best birthday I've ever had and you're the best present I've ever gotten.” (Y/N) stared at her boyfriend again, before pulling him close to her again.

“You're welcome, baby. But I don't think I'm the only one you should be thanking here. I couldn't have pulled this surprise off without Emma's amazing help. You're really lucky to have a best friend like her, (Y/N).” Noah said, nodding towards Emma, who was smiling from ear to ear as she watched the two of them.

(Y/N) nodded, “You're right. I'm lucky to have such amazing people in my life and feel so incredibly grateful for everything today.” She then walked over to her best friend Emma and pulled her in for another hug.

“I love you so much, Em. Thank you for doing this. You're the best friend anyone could ever ask for.” (Y/N) kissed Emma on the cheek before looking at her with teary eyes.

Emma just shrugged, a huge grin on her face. “Anything for you, (Y/N).”

(Y/N) hugged her one more time before she turned her attention back to Noah. “So you're here for an entire week?”

Noah nodded. “Yeah, I am. I already cleared my schedule weeks ago just so I could be with you. Sorry again for lying to you, baby. But the look on your face when you saw me was worth all the trouble. I kinda wish I'd caught it on camera.”

“Well, you two are lucky then, because I did catch (Y/N)'s face on camera. I actually filmed the whole surprise, because I knew you'd want to see it. Maybe you can even share it on your channel later.” Emma chimed in, looking at (Y/N).

“I don't have a video for this week yet, so that's actually a great idea, Em.” (Y/N) agreed, giving her best friend a grateful smile.

Emma just shrugged, “Of course it is. All my idea's are great, including throwing this party.”

“Speaking of party. I think it's time we actually start celebrating now. So let's get this party started everyone!” (Y/N) announced, looking at all the guests.

“It's not a real birthday party without a proper birthday cake, so let's have the birthday girl blow out some candles first.” Emma said, before she went over to the food table to grab the cake.

“Can someone grab the candles, please? They're in my bag over there.” Emma nodded towards her bag in the corner of the room.

“Sure, I've got this.” Noah said, before he grabbed the candles out of Emma's bag. He then helped to place the candles on the cake and lit them before everyone started singing “Happy Birthday” for (Y/N). After she blew out the candles they all ate some cake before officially starting the party.

****

It was a little while later and everyone was enjoying (Y/N)'s birthday party. A few people were singing karaoke over by the karaoke booth, another group was on the dance floor while Emma, Noah and (Y/N) were chatting by the snack and food table.

They were in the middle of a conversation, when a slow song came on and a few people started leaving the dance floor.

“I really hate to interrupt your heated discussion about who the best Chris' is, but I would like to ask my girlfriend something, if that's okay.” Noah said, looking at Emma and (Y/N).

(Y/N) nodded, “Of course that's okay. What do you want to ask me, baby?”

“Well... I was wondering if I could have this dance with you?” Noah asked, as he held out his hand for her. (Y/N) smiled and took his hand before they walked onto the dance floor together. Noah pulled her close and rested his hands on her waist while (Y/N) wrapped hers around his shoulders. They slowly swayed to the music together. The both of them enjoyed this little moment together, the comfortable silence between them making this moment even more perfect.

After a while Noah locked his eyes with hers and said, “In case you didn't know or haven't heard it yet, you look amazing, baby.”

(Y/N) couldn't help but blush at his compliment. “Thank you, honey. You look so handsome yourself.”

“You're so beautiful inside and out, I don't even know how I got so lucky to have you as my girlfriend. I'm so crazy about you, (Y/N).” Noah put one hand on her face, caressing it gently with his thumb while the other one remained on her waist.

“I'm the lucky one, Noah. Sometimes I still can't believe you're mine and I ask myself every day how, out of all the women in the world, you chose me to be yours.” (Y/N) answered, looking into his golden brown eyes.

“I chose you, (Y/N), because I love you. Only you. Forever and always.” Noah said, before he kissed her softly. (Y/N) kissed him back, smiling into the kiss.

“I love you too, Noah Centineo, and I can't wait to spend the rest of the week with you.” (Y/N) whispered back after they pulled away from the kiss.

“We're gonna make the most of it, I promise.” Noah said and (Y/N) nodded, running her hand down his chest.

“And I promise to enjoy every single minute of it.” She answered before kissing him again.

The End.

Richonne in Retrospect

#27: The Gift (5x09)

Alright, so I’m excited to talk about this next Richonne moment cuz it’s super special and cuz I need some positivity rn since This Is Us has me super emotional and Walking Dead has me super emotional. 😭😭😭

And now these two shows are about to air their most emotional episodes in February and I’m just so not ready. 😢 Like these shows really want to break my heart into a million pieces. 💔

So this Richonne moment couldn’t have come at a better time cuz it really is one of Rick and Michonne’s sweetest and most important moments, in that it shows how much these two really do love each other. 😊😌

But first, I’m here for the couple vibes as they collect bags of things they can use and Michonne makes the hopeful suggestion about how they can try and make this place livable. 

And then when she sees that Rick and Glenn aren’t sold she ardently says, “It can work.”

I love that Rick is so gentle and patient as he brings up the valid point about how there’s no sight lines since this place is surrounded by forest. Like he’s trying to say “it won’t work” as compassionately as possible cuz he knows how important this is to her and he doesn’t want to just insensitively shut the idea down.

Michonne suggests that they could start taking down the trees and put a wall up cuz Sis is the type of person who stays strategizing and trying to find a way.

And you literally see Rick respond like such a husband that knows this is a dead end, but he’s going to at least consider it for her. I really don’t think he’d be this accommodating for too many others, but Homegirl has this man’s heart. 

Michonne can tell Rick and Glenn still aren’t fully on board so she says “Look” and then she stays gesturing for that added emphasis lol.

You can just feel her desperation to find a place to call home for her family. And as she walks towards the opening of course they follow, cuz Rick is always willing to at least go and see for Michonne.

But then they all see that a full on massacre has occurred, with all those body parts sadistically severed, which sort of puts a damper on the possibility of making this place home.

Seeing this brutal aftermath for herself, confirms to Michonne that this place really won’t work and that it’s clearly susceptible to unforeseen attacks.

And you can see just how visibly devastated and deeply disappointed Michonne is to get this confirmation.

And we’re not the only ones who can see she’s upset cuz Rick can clearly see it and feel it too.

I love that when they stumble upon this gory scene, Rick’s attention immediately turns to Michonne and how she’s taking this. Like they were not kidding about the whole I’m okay/You’re okay thing, cuz you can tell that in her not being okay, he’s not either.

Now, you know how I like to say that Rick and Michonne are magnets? It’s not even a joke, y’all. 🙌���

And to prove it lemme just present some solid evidence real quick that these two are very much magnetically connected. 😋

See I wasn’t even playing lol. These two are magnets! And I adore this gif and this moment. The fact that as she walks forward, Rick just instinctually walks towards her. Mag-to-the-nets, y’all. 😊👏🏽

This in-sync movement so accurately paints the picture that they’re one and how where she goes, he follows.

Also, in seeing her broken up, you can tell he wants to find a way to fix it. I appreciate that her disappointment and sadness matters so much to him, to the point that he even follows after her without even fully realizing it.

And Homeboy’s eyes are only on her. Even when Glenn speaks, Rick still stays looking at her at first. #entranced.

Glenn says it doesn’t matter if Rick had killed Dawn of if he would’ve or if Daryl did, none of it matters. And it’s a pretty somber outlook.

(Side note: Re-watching this moment with Rick, Michonne, and Glenn makes Rick and Michonne’s conversation about Glenn in “Say Yes” even sadder, cuz Glenn was present for a lot of there little Richonne landmarks. 😭)

(Other side note: This show is wrong for having Glenn hold a bat in this episode. 😭)

So then Michonne brings up Washington and how, even tho Eugene lied, there might have been a legit reason he thought of Washington.

She looks at Rick when she says “We’re close” and asks “What if there are people there. What if it’s a place where we can be safe.”

I love that you see Rick really hearing her out. And every day their without a home is a day they know will be riddled with danger and, while finding a home base doesn’t end the danger, it at least makes it so that they can rest a little and not be so on edge all the time cuz they’d be somewhere somewhat safe. And you know their family being safe is really important to both Michonne and Rick.

She then says, “We’re 100 miles away. It’s a possibility. It’s a chance.” and similar to when Michonne told Rick they should try and fight back against Negan even with the odds against them in season 7, we’re again seeing her remind Rick that they have to take a chance for the possibility that their family will be better because of it.

Then she gets more passionate as she says “Instead of just being out here. Instead of just making it. Cuz right now this is what making it looks like.” And y’all, Rick is all ears. Like you can tell seeing her bare her heart out is resonating with him in the deepest possible way.

It’s a big deal that Michonne feels like she can be this vulnerable with him. Like she’s not hiding how she feels cuz she’s come to trust Rick enough to be this candid. 

And this clearly means something to him. I know I keep saying it, but this episode really is so telling of how much he prioritizes her happiness and how much it matters to him. 😊 

She then poses the question, “Don’t you want one more day with a chance?” and, like everything else she’s said, you see this question resonate with him as well, cuz that really is what Rick wants.

And what’s sweet is that in being together these two give each other that very thing; a chance for more than just making it. 🙌🏾

It’s also important too that Rick’s repsonse suggests that having one more day with a chance is something that’s important to him cuz in Michonne’s last relationship she had to watch as her man and her community stopped trying to have that and then that’s when everything fell apart. So for Rick and Michonne to be on the same page about this just helps confirm why they’re really right for each other. 

And y’all, you know how sometimes Husband’s like to surprise their wife with a gift? I feel like that’s what happens next. 😋 

Cuz they see some walkers approaching and Rick says “We should go”. And Glenn and Michonne both turn away thinking he means they should leave this community and head back.

It’s tough seeing Michonne turn away feeling like her words fell on deaf ears, but see Rick just wanted to grant Michonne’s request in a surprise sort of way lol, which makes it all the more special. 😊😋 

Cuz then he says “It’s a hundred miles away.” which lets her know he’s talking about more than just leaving this area.

I love that he starts with saying it’s 100 miles away cuz it shows that Rick heard her mention the distance and is now essentially telling her “I’m willing to go the distance for you.” 😊

Both Glenn and Michonne turn to Rick when they realize what he’s saying. And then Rick says, “We should go to Washington” looking straight at Michonne. Like Glenn is not exactly there rn cuz R&M are definitely having a moment. 😋

And I love that it’s crystal clear that this is about Rick wanting to make her happy and trust her instinct. 😊

There was a woman named Lori who once said Rick would never just up and move on a hunch...But she thought. Cuz Rick just demonstrated how he would be willing to do that for Michonne cuz soul mates. 👌🏽

And then when Michonne hears this, she legit looks at Rick like he’s the one. And Homeboy’s giving the same look back.

It’s cute seeing that they have seriously caught all the feelings and this moment between them is just really precious. 💯😊

Like to know he not only heard her and considered it, but just off that one pitch he’s willing to make this big decision. Whipped Rick is alive and well, y’all. Here for it. 🙌🏾😋

Again it reminds me of their cell moment in season 7, where Rick was motivated to take a chance and make a big decision for the group once Michonne poured her heart out to him. 

Seeing that this has been their dynamic for the longest it really throws those “Richonne came out of nowhere” arguments out the window imo. 

The way they’re interacting with each other just makes it so clear that falling in love was inevitable. 😌 Like the relationship between these characters couldn’t have just stayed platonic cuz their love goes too deep.

And seeing Rick be such a real one, by taking Michonne’s words to heart and deciding to take this big step for her, really had me like…

You can almost visibly see both their hearts grow two sizes for each other and I’m too here for it.

And then the world goes back to screaming at them pretty much immediately so this major stride in the relationship doesn’t get to be expounded upon as much in this moment.

As they rush to find Noah and Tyreese, they’re taking out walkers and often times Michonne is the life saver but we get to see Rick come to her rescue when she struggles against a walker with a metal thing in his neck.

As they head out of the community, we see that even with the emergency seat change Rick and Michonne still sit together. I’m just saying, those magnets are at work ‪24/7‬ and I’m not mad at it. 😁

So this episode really helped to establish the serious love that’s forming between Rick and Michonne. And to me, this episode showed us two things in particular and that’s that Michonne has the gift of being able to really win Rick over and Rick enjoys being able to give these kinds of gifts to her. ☺️

And episodes like this, that show us why Richonne is something special, really are nice gifts for us. So if this episode was a gift then this upcoming Richonne centric episode is like Christmas morning. 👌🏽😋
