RikerYou Oneshots

Restless Nights

Head mashed between two pillows you attempt to drowned out the sound. With each inhale and exhale he snores loudly. The rhythm is consistent and monotonous and it’s driving you insane.

You want to sleep and you need to sleep. You’re starting to doze off at work because of these sleepless nights.

Flipping over onto your other side you face your fast asleep husband Riker. His lips are slightly parted and one side of his face is all squished up. It’s actually quite adorable, but what’s not adorable is the horribly loud sounds he makes while sleeping.

Not able to take it any longer you slip out from under the covers trying not to wake him. Bringing a pillow and a spare blanket you lazily walk to the living room and plop down on the hard couch.

The couch is definitely not as comfortable but at least it’s quiet. Tossing and turning you eventually fall into a light shallow slumber.

Slowly opening your eyes you swear you feel something; something warm. Half asleep you grab your phone resting on the coffee table. You moan at the time. It’s only been twenty minutes since you’ve fallen asleep.

More awake now you notice the extra pair of arms wrapped around your middle. Riker is tightly snuggling close next to you practically sliding off the rough couch.

A small smirk reaches your lips. You brush a few locks of blond fringe out of his face caressing his soft cheek.

Apparently you wriggled to much because Riker’s warm hazel brown eyes slowly open and look down at you.

“Is it morning yet?” Riker questions rubbing his eyes.

“No, it’s only two in the morning. What are you doing out here?”

“Simple, I couldn’t sleep.” He gives you a light squeeze.

“I left our bedroom because I couldn’t sleep. You keep snoring way too loud.”

“I’m sorry, I can’t help it.” He nuzzles into the dip of your neck hugging you closer.

Combing your tired fingers though his hair you mumble against him, “It’s alright. Who needs sleep anyways.”

Riker sits up slightly looking through your fatigued eyes and lies. “Do you know what. Tomorrow I promise I’ll go to the doctor and get it checked out. Surly they can do something about it.”

“Thank you so much.”

“Anything for my little princess.” Riker bends down lightly kissing your lips.

“Now do you want to go back to the bedroom?”

“No, I kind of like it here.” You cuddle into his warm protecting arms. Quickly dozing off again. Surprisingly you get the most sleep you’ve had in weeks.
