A Different Kind of Devotion (R5 Fanfiction)

Hanaa's POV

I have been with Riker for a week now. I've been spending a lot of time at the Lynch house. Livvie and Rocky are there a lot too.

One day we were all sitting around the house, doing nothing. Then Ross had an idea.

"Let's play Seven Minutes in Heaven," he suggested.

Everyone agreed.

"Who are we gonna go with?" I asked.

"Well, why don't we pick names?" Ry said. "You go first Hanaa."

I gulped and picked a name.

I read it, looking uneasy.

"Who'd you get babe?" Riker asked.

"Um... Rocky..." I said hoarsley.

"Ah-Okay," Riker stammered.

Ry led us to a guest room and locked the door. Rocky was unusually silent.

"Uhh Hanaa?" he said.

"Yeah?" I answered.

"This won't mean anything, right?"

"Right," I said. "I'm dating Riker and you're dating Livvie."

He nodded.

"We better start or everyone else will get mad we didn't play by the rules," Rocky said.

Rocky's POV

I kissed Hanaa, my arms around her back. She kissed back her arms looped around my neck. We were 4 minutes in, 3 to go.

She pulled back. "You're an amazing kisser," she said. "Livvie is a lucky girl."

"I've never actually kissed her..." I faltered.

Hanaa gasped. "You've never kissed your girlfriend and you're making out with me?!"

"It's just a game..." I trailed off.

"Well why did you agree then?"

"I was just going along with everyone else."

Hanaa's POV

Suddenly we hear the sound of footsteps on the stairs. Riker unlocks the door and comes in.

"Everything OK babe?" he asked me, worry creasing his face.

"No," I pouted, turning away from Rocky.

Riker scooched closer to me, his arm around my shoulders. "What did he do?" he asked softly.

"I don't wanna talk about it," I said stubbornly, crossing my arms.

"Maybe you should leave," Riker said to Rocky.

Rocky's POV

Riker told me I should leave. I nodded and crept out of the room, closing the door behind me.

I met Ry, Delly, Ell, and Ross on the stairs.

"What's going on?" Ross asked.

"We heard yelling," Rydel cut in.

"Nothing," I said. "Let's go downstairs."

Hanaa's POV

By this time I had started to cry.

"Shh babe, it's okay, it's all over now," Riker said quietly, rocking me back and forth on his lap. "Why don't you tell me what happened."

I sniffled. "Well we started playing the game, and about 4 minutes in, I told him he was an amazing kisser. But you're better," I interjected, noticing the hurt look on Riker's face. "I told him Livvie is a lucky girl to have him as a boyfriend. Then he told me he had never kissed Livvie! He was making out with me and he never even kissed his own girlfriend!" I burst into tears again. Riker calmed me down and i finished telling the story.

"I know it's just a game, but he agreed, I didn't really wanna play but you guys were all saying yes so I agreed-"

Riker cut me off. "I never agreed. After you guys left, I asked Ross why he did it. He just smirked. Then I looked at the hat we drew names from. There were about 5 slips with Rocky's name, and none of anyone else. I wasn't even in there. So it's not your fault. It's Ross'. There was no way you could've picked me."

I was gulping for air now, and I felt better.

Riker kissed my nose. "I'll leave you to calm down a bit. Just come down when you're ready."

I sat there breathing a little bit longer, then decided to go down by Riker. I walked down the stairs to the living room, where they were all sitting watching TV. I went and curled up in Riker's lap. He started rubbing my arm with the hand he was protectively holding around me. I soon fell into a deep sleep on Riker's chest.
