R5 + Ryland Preferences

Preference #54- you make him sleep on the couch (part 2)

Riker: “Get out.” You shoved him roughly towards the door. “Babe can we please talk about this??” he pleaded, trying to push his way back into the room. You shook your head and continued shoving him. “I don’t want to talk to you right now.” You said coldly. A few minutes ago Riker had informed you that you would not be joining them on their five week mini-tour towards the end of the year. That wasn’t what had upset you. He’d also informed you that you were being left at home per his request. He claimed that you would be a ‘distraction’ and he wanted to be at the top of his game for the tour. “(Y/n)-” he tried again. You gave him one final shove and finally pushed him out into the hallway. You snatched a pillow off of the bed and threw it at him roughly. “You can go sleep in the living room. I don’t want to DISTRACT you from getting your rest tonight.” you snapped. Before he could speak again you slammed the door.

A few hours later you were still tossing and turning in your bed. You hadn’t spent a night apart from Riker in months. It felt weird not having him beside you. You finally gave up and tiptoed quietly out of your bedroom and down the hall to the living room. Riker was lying on the couch, still awake as well. He looked over when he heard you approaching. “Can I help you?” he asked snippily. You sighed. “Riker look, I’m still not happy but I can’t sleep and apparently neither can you. Will you please come to bed?” you asked. He stared at you for a few moments before finally standing up. He walked past you wordlessly and made his way into the bedroom. You followed behind slowly. He was already lying in bed by the time you made your way into the room. You crawled in next to him and pulled the comforter up around you. He immediately pulled you closer to him. “I love you.” he whispered. You rested you head on his chest. “I love you too.”

Ratliff: “(Y/n) open this door right now!” Ellington called, pounding on the locked bedroom door. You sat stubbornly on the bed, your legs crossed. You shook your head, though you knew he couldn’t see you. “No!” you called back. The two of you had been going back and forth at each other all day long. Ever since you’d woken up that morning it had been nothing but constant bickering. Finally the fight had escalated about an hour ago; Ellington had snapped and called you a few less-than-kind names. You’d locked yourself in the bedroom and refused to come out. “Baby please.” He tried again. You crossed your arms and stayed silent. You heard him sit down outside in the hallway. You pulled your pillow closer to you and stretched out on the bed.

A few hours later you groggily rolled over and looked at your alarm clock. It was 2:00 in the morning. You sat up and walked out of your bedroom and down the stairs to the kitchen. As you passed the living room you looked onto the couch; Ellington was sound asleep. You walked over and knelt down beside him. His eyes were red-rimmed, clearly he’d been crying. You brushed his brown hair out of his face. He stirred and woke up. “(Y/n).” he mumbled. You smiled and continued running your fingers through his hair. “Hey El.” You said quietly. He shook his head. “I’m sorry.” He whispered. You shook your head as well. “It’s ok.” He scooted over on the couch to make room for you. You slid in next to him and threw the blanket over both of you. “Goodnight.” He mumbled quietly, already falling back asleep.
