My Commander~ ? x Reader story

19

It had now been two months since Deanna told you about how sorry Riker was. Since then, you and Riker had been making small talk every other day. Your visits with Lore had stopped, and you and Data were now strangers. You went from colleagues, to friends, to best friends, to lovers, to ex's and then to strangers. You were still colleagues of course but you two never talked. Not even for work.

It was Wednesday night and you were getting ready for bed when you got a knock on your door. It was Riker. You furrowed your brows in confusion.

"What are you doing here?" You asked, closing the door but leaving a little space for you. You were in no mood to invite him in or even give him the impression.

"I'm hungry" He said, making him eyes droopy and his bottom lip come out in a kiddish begging way.

"Ohhhhhhh noooooo" You chuckled, shaking your head and closing the door.

He kept the door open.

"Please?" Riker asked, serious this time.

You looked at him, then at your slippers, then back at him again and sighed. When you two were walking down the hall, you had a bathrobe on that you kept holding on to, keeping it shut. He had this smug smile on his face as he was walking the signature Riker walk on the way to the kitchen.

"If you're going to make your disgusting cottage cheese onion thing, I am going to smack you" You said, sitting down on the table.

With your words he smiled, he opened the refrigerator, still looking at you as he slowly pulled out the onions and the cottage cheese. All while holding the same stupid face and locking eyes with yours, he slowly chopped up the onions, scooped them up and onto a plate, then he took a huge glob of cottage cheese and smacked it on the same plate. He walked over to you, as you were looking at him in disgust. When he took the bite, you over dramatically, started gagging.

"I'm going to eat this even if you do gag" Riker shrugged, taking another bite.

When you finally got over it, you turned back and you thought about how weird this was.

"This is so weird..." You said, shaking your head.

"What is?" Riker asked.

"This" You exclaimed "Us. Being here. Now. Alone"

"Oh..." Riker sighed.

"Except last time...we were under different circumstances" You sighed too.

"About how I treated you..." He addresses the thought in the back of your head "I am so sorry" He said, you could see the sorry in his eyes "I was so bad to you...I was so terrible, it really wasn't fair of me to treat you the way I did" He said.

You shrugged "We all do stuff we regret" You said, looking down at your feet.

"Mm" He hummed, in agreement to you.

About two minutes later, you were both walking to your quarters, he dropped you off and the goodbye was one of the most awkward situations you have ever been in.

"So....I'll see you later" Riker said, bobbing his head.

"Yeah.." You confirmed, bobbing your head back.

Then you two just stood there, bobbing your heads for what seemed like forever.

"So...bye" Riker said, bobbing his head even more now.

"Bye.." You added, bobbing your head more too.

About a minute later you finally went into your quarters, and you threw yourself on your bed and groaned.
