Nah, I pay attention...I just don't watch Talking Dead, read the comics or subscribe to any of the social media stuff

Michonne had taken on a role with Carl, not quite motherly, but it was there none the less. She wasn't doing that for the other kids in the town she wanted to love. Hell, she didn't even seem to like them. If you paid attention to the flashbacks she was a good mother and a good wife before TSHTF. She found a way to love Carl and that showed her love for Rick. She admired Rick, had his back 100% even when he didn't deserve it or it went against what she wanted. When she knocked him the fuck out for beating the shit out of porch dick she did it to save him.
By the same token, Rick had nothing but respect for her for doing that. He appreciated how she wanted to be Carl's friend, and help him through an awkward time. If I remember right Rick asked her to do it. He trusted her enough to ask her to get close to his son. That says a ton about how he felt towards her. He never said a cross word to her and always sought out her opinions even when he knew he might not like it. Since being in Alexandria they've been living in the same house and acting kind of like a family. More than most. Sure, they're both alphas but alphas need to fuck too and alpha females prefer alpha males. It just took a chill moment for Rick to realize she was there all along.
Only thing I'm afraid of is that one of two things has to happen. Either Michonne's days are numbered or they end up denying their feelings and move on. Now that Jesus has seen them he thinks it's all part of their way of life. He'll probably say something about them being a couple and the others will embrace it. My guess right now is that, in order to protect herself and her emotions, Michonne will downplay it, say it was just a hookup, maybe call it a mistake. Rick will have a hard time understanding why she is doing that and things will get weird between them.
If I'm right with this prediction it may be the first time. I'm always trying to figure out what they have in store next. The writers keep fucking with me.
