Preference - He Makes You Cry. Part 1: Riker

A/N: if you're confused about these, check Chapter 'Thank You!' On my preference book (:

Riker had been in the studio every

day for the past week or so, and you missed him. You would always ask him to take a day off so you two could spend some time together, but he would always get frustrated and say no. His work seemed more important than you at the moment. You decided to surprise him in the studio one day, when you got off early from work. Once you got there, Rydel let you in while he was recording. You walked in, and when Riker saw you, he stopped singing and his face turned angry. He stepped out of the booth so you could hear him. "Why did you guys let her in?! Y/N I told you to stop bothering me when I'm at work!" It definitely wasn't the reaction you were looking for. You stood frozen for a few seconds, before turning to Rydel and whispering 'thanks for trying to help.' Then you walked out the door letting the tears spill over your eyes. You didn't want to drive home in your current state, so you sat on a bench outside the studio. You placed your head in your hands, questioning everything. Then you heard voices from the studio.

"Why the hell would you say that?!" It sounded like Rocky. Then Ross chimed in.

"Seriously man, did you really think that wouldn't make her upset?!" Then Ellington.

"If I were you I'd apologize because she probably feels awful." Then Rydel.

"I've always looked up to you, but I don't know after that Riker." she sounded really upset. She was your best friend. Even Stormie said something.

"Riker Anthony Lynch.. I'm so disappointed in you. I thought you were better than that."

He didn't say anything. Not that you could hear at least. That caused more tears to pour out of your red puffy eyes. It had been a minute or so, and you heard the door handle moving. You looked up to find Ross, who was like an older brother to you.

"Y/N..." was all he could say. He felt awful, and was even angrier at his brother. He leaned down and pulled you to your feet, wrapping you in a hug. You were thankful that at least somebody cared for you. After a minute or so, you picked your head up, glancing in the studio since Ross left the door open. Everyone was quiet; Riker had his head in his hands. "Thanks Ross." You say, thinking it was quiet enough that only he would hear. But it wasn't. Riker picked his head up, looking over at you. His eyes were slightly red too.

When you saw him, you automatically put your head back down on Ross' shoulder. Then you heard footsteps, praying it wasn't Riker. But it was.

"Go away." You mumble when you see him.

"Ross, please let me talk to her. Please." He said quietly.

Ross' loosed his arms on the hug, and whispered something in your ear. "Just listen to him. I'm right there if you need me." He kissed the top of your head, like a protective brother, and stepped into the studio, closing the door.

"What do you want Riker?" You tried to avoid his eyes.

"Y/N I'm so sorry. I don't know why I said any of that. I didn't mean a single word, and.. and I'm just so sorry. I can't believe I've been such a jerk to you these past few days. I'm such an awful boyfriend, oh my god. Y/N I didn't mean any of it... I-I love you.." then he stopped talking. You took it as a chance to look up, and he was leaning against the wall, his head in his hands. You knew that even though he said what he did, you still loved him. You got up, walking over to him and wrapped your arms around his neck, standing on your tippy-toes. He jumped, not expecting you to come over.

"I love you too.." You whisper.

The second you say that, his arms wrap around you so tightly you almost couldn't breathe. He leans his head on yours. "Thank you, thank you, thank you.." he keeps saying. "I love you, I love you, I love you."

He picks his head up, looking into your eyes.

"This weekend, I'm all yours. We can do whatever you want. No work, no distractions, nothing. Just us." he smiles at you.

"That sounds perfect." You wipe your eyes, before leaning in and pressing your lips to his.

After a while, you hear something from the studio.

"Don't screw up again Riker!"
