3 - Power Outage
You were hanging out in Riker's room during a storm. All of a sudden, the lights went out during your movie.
"No! I need to know what happens!" Riker shouted next to you.
You looked at Riker, kind of annoyed about him shouting right in your ear.
"Oh... Oops... Sorry," Riker said, giggling like a goofball.
You playfully push his shoulder, making him laugh even more. He throws his arms around you, hugging you to him.
"Riker. I'm bored," you said, leaning your head on his chest.
"Well... Let's go downstairs. I have an idea."
Riker leads you downstairs, holding your hand the whole time. He'd never admit it, but you knew he was a little scared of the dark.
You sat in a chair in the kitchen, watching Riker. He went in a cabinet, and got out a bunch of candles. He put them on the table and lit them.
"Alright. We can see now, but I'm still bored," you say.
"I know. I'm not done yet."
He goes into another cabinet, and takes out something you can't see. He sets down a covered bowl in the middle of the table, and sits down across from you.
"It's not much of anything, but we can have a mini date!" Riker says happily.
"What's in the bowl?"
He uncovers it, revealing a bunch of cookies. You laugh at his idea. He's been addicted to eating cookies lately.
"What? They're just cookies!" Riker says, trying to hide his smile.
You sigh, shaking your head at him.
"What?"
"Sugar freak."
"I am not! I just love cookies!"
You roll your eyes at him, thinking...
"How much do you love cookies, Riker?"
"Um a lot!"
"Let's see how much!"
You grab the bowl of cookies, and take off. You quickly run up to his room, being careful not to trip in the dark. You hide behind his door.
"Come back with my cookies!" You hear Riker yell.
You can hear his slight giggles, and you have to try hard not to laugh and give yourself away.
All of a sudden, you hear his footsteps enter the room.
"BOO!"
"AH!"
You turn on the flashlight on your phone, and shine it on Riker, who is now on the ground, looking up at you with a slightly scared expression.
"Can I have my cookies now?" Riker asked, giving you puppy dog eyes.
You laugh, grab his hand, and help him up. You walk back downstairs, and sit at the kitchen table. Riker is still pleading with his eyes for his cookies.
"Now can I have them?" Riker asked.
"Only on one condition."
"What?"
"You have to kiss me first."
"Deal!"
He carefully leaned over, making sure not to get close to the candles, and his lips meet yours. You feel slight butterflies just like you do every time you kiss him. Finally, he pulls back.
"Cookies please."
You laugh, and hand over the bowl after taking a cookie for yourself. Riker held the bowl in his lap, and picked a cookie.
"What are you doing?" You ask.
"You're not coming anywhere near these... Cookie thief..."
"Riker!"
"WHAT!? Don't shout! It scares me!"
You laugh at his reaction.
"If I'm the cookie thief, then you're the cookie thief's boyfriend."
You get up, and make your way to Riker. He takes your hands, pulls you close, and kisses you again.
"I'll be your boyfriend any day."
"I love you," you mumble, looking into his eyes.
"I love you too... But stay away from my cookies!"
