An Unnecessary, yet Lengthy Dissertation of Richonne's First Love Scene
Okay, so I just HAVE to talk about this scene in any and every way. There is not a single frame of this glorious, one of a kind scene that doesn't drive me up the wall so I just need to speak about it before I explode. This does contain sexual matter (obviously) so please be aware of that going in. Without further adieu, here is my very amateur dissertation.
The scene starts out with our beloveds barely making it out of a near death situation where Michonne gets stuck under a chandelier right as a huge horde closes in on them. Despite Michonne telling Rick to go multiple times, he risks his life to get her out of there and successfully manages to do so before it's too late. She genuinely thanks him for it while he tells her that she never has to thank him ever. Her existence is enough of a thank you to him. Anyway, they make it back to the safety of their apartment with emotions running high. The two of them are happy to be out of harm's way. Rick slowly inches closer to Michonne, as if testing out the waters. That incident could have been the last time he ever saw her. He almost lost her (again) and needs to feel her comfort.
Michonne, still very much angry with him for the way weird, uncharacteristic way he's been acting, tries not to give in. But what can she do? She missed that man more than anything. He's her safe place. She needs his comfort, too.
He kisses her once. Twice. Thrice. And then the kiss deepens! And with moans and groans emitting from both of them, he swiftly picks her up and they get to business.
We miss the very beginning of it all, but pick up right as things are getting going. On a bed the two are slowly and rhythmically going at it. As they very intimately kiss one another, Rick uses Michonne's ass as leverage for a deep stroke while Michonne holds on to him for support.
Michonne continues to ride him as he leaves his mouth open waiting for her tongue to lick his leaving a string of saliva connected to each of their lips.
Rick's tongue reaches out for her again as she pulls him in for another kiss, this time continuously. It must feel good. Really good. Almost like a dream. This sends poor Rick into a panic attack. He fears he's about to lose her again. Like she's about to go up in flames right before his very eyes. Michonne stares at him, worried and confused. This is where she realizes that he has been through something so painful that he literally cannot articulate it. She sees how deep his hurt goes. "Hey. Hey. Hey. Look at me. Baby, hey. Hey." she says, softly turning his face towards hers. He's still freaking out so to comfort him, she very lovingly puts his hand over her heart and interlocks his fingers with hers.
And this works. It calms him down immediately. He realizes that she is there. He realizes that she's not going anywhere. His breath hitches as she starts riding him again. Their kissing resumes and things pick back up. Michonne grips his curls for support as her moans grow louder and louder. Very quickly, he takes back control and flips her on her back all the while staying inside of her.
Michonne couldn't be happier. She has her man back.
Rick smiles and let's out a slight laugh as he looks down her body.
He closes his eyes in ecstasy.
Michonne holds him tight as he continues riding her.
And with a fade to black, thats the end of the love scene. And I'm calling it a love scene because that's what it is to me. This goes deeper than just sex. These two were making LOVE. This scene is just beyond beautiful to me. The tenderness of it all. The vulnerability of it all. The intimacy of it all. It's crazy!!! It's almost too much for me to bare. It's so so so devastatingly beautiful and definitely a one of a kind scene. You can see perfectly here how Michonne is Rick's anchor. How Rick is Michonne's safe place. To me they truly have the greatest love story of all time and this scene is a perfect depiction of it. Imagine something being this intimate and vulnerable and beautiful and tender and sexy and sweet without even showing literally any body parts??? Like that's crazy. It wasn't gratuitous at all, it was very very loving and even served a narrative purpose. No one else is doing it like them! Richonne is most certainly the couple of all time. And I'm so beyond grateful we got this scene. And I'm sorry, but I won't ever shut up about it. Richonne, I love you forever!
