When you got out your door the next morning you turned and saw Riker smiling and holding a bouquet of flowers.
"May I ask what you're doing?" You smiled.
"Trying go be romantic" He said, smiling even more than he was.
"Ohhhhkayyyyyyy" You smiled back nervously and he smiled back even harder "You can stop smiling now..." You assured him.
"No..I can't" He said through another smile "Data is behind-OW" He said.
You raised an eyebrow and started to look behind Riker. You saw Data pinching the extra skin on Riker's back, forcing Riker to follow his command. As soon as Data saw you looking, he let go of Riker, and nodded at you.
Riker let out a sigh of relief and put his hand on his back. As Data was walking away you pushed him so he walked even faster.
"I am so sorry" You said.
"It's fine, it's cute" He laughed.
"What did he say to you?" You asked, taking the flowers and putting them inside in a vase, he followed.
"He told me that you're a huge old romantic and that this would make you happy, then he made me stand outside to make you happy until you came out" He explained.
"Oh my gosh....." You covered your mouth with your hands "How long did he make you stay out there?" You asked.
He stayed quite.
"Riker? Did you hear me?" You asked.
"Three hours.." He mumbled.
"Oh my gosh..." You groaned and covered your entire face with your hands out of embarrassment.
"It's fine, he just wants to see you happy" Riker smiled "and I do too"
You smiled back.
"We should get to the bridge" He said, grabbing your hand and walking out the door.
"Okay then" You laughed.
You both made it onto the bridge and you nodded at Riker before he went to his chair, next to Picard. You made your way to your station, next to Data and gave him a 'You are so dead' look. He gulped.
"Hey, Data?" You asked.
"Yes?"
"I need help picking out a juice"
"I am sorry?"
"Can you come help me?"
"Can you do it on you own?"
"No, I need help"
"Okay"
You both awkwardly walked out the door and as soon as the door shut behind you, you started yelling.
"Data! What the heck?!" You yelled, throwing your hands up in the air.
"I just wanted him to treat you well" Data said, shrugging.
"He's treating me fine already, Data!" You yelled, pacing back and forth.
Everyone on the bridge heard you and Data yelling at each other through the door, they were all looking at Riker, trying not to laugh.
