My Commander~ ? x Reader story

He's proud

(Disclaimer: this might turn into a Data x reader or even a freaking Picard x reader for all I know, I've just given up any logic with this crackfic)

At had been few weeks since the fallout with you, Data and Riker. Seeing them on the bridge was getting easier and easier each day, seeing Riker the way he was was hard, but he had turned into such a jerk that you didn't care anymore. You had started talking with your mom more, every other day you two talked. She was helping you find yourself again, and you were getting better. One day, as you were packing stuff up to give back to Riker, old photos, clothes, gifts and such, you got a knock on your door.

"Enter" You said.

It was Data, he came in, and your heart stopped.

"Hey..." You said, quietly.

"Hello, y/k" He greeted you.

"How have you been?" You asked, trying to avoid the awkwardness that was so obviously there.

"I have been good" He answered "I would like to clarify something with you" He said after a short pause.

"Um..yeah, of course" You shrugged "What can I do for you?" You asked.

"I would like to go back to our friendship" Data exclaimed.

"Oh.." You said, you didn't know what you expected to come out of his mouth but you didn't expect that. It's not like you weren't relived, you were but it was just unexpected.

"Unless you do not want to" He added.

"No, no" You assured him "I want to"

"Okay" He said "Good" He nodded on his way out. "And y/k?" He asked, pausing just before he got outside the door.

"Yeah?" You asked, looking back up at him.

"I am..." He paused to debate with himself whether or not he should say it, but he did "I am proud of you" He smiled just a little.

You grinned ear to ear.

"Thank you" You said.

He nodded, then left. You knew the reason he was proud of you was because you were healing. You weren't in your right mind for a long time until a few weeks ago, when you looked in the mirror, and told yourself you needed to change. And when you realized Data acknowledged that change, it felt better than anything could ever make you feel.

When you were done collecting Riker's stuff in your box, you picked it up and carried it into the hallway, to give it to him. When you spotted him in the hallway, he was in a worse mood than usual. This didn't stop you, you just rolled your eyes and went up to him.

"Commander Riker!" You called out.

"What?" He asked, rolling his eyes and turning around.

"Here" You said, holding the box out for him to take.

"What is this?" He asked, not taking the box yet.

"Old stuff" You told him and he was digging around in the box "Photos, your clothing, gifts that you have given me, etcetera" You explained.

"You don't even want our memories?" He laughed, putting on a mocking face.

"However much I wish you weren't, you are my first" You said, he sighed "With this you will always be in my mind, forever" You assured him.

It was quiet for a minute.

"Go fuck yourself, y/k" He snapped, snatching the box and walking away.

You watched him walk away like dude..I was trying to be nice..wtf..Well, that's what you thought anyway.

You went back to your quarters, changed into your uniform because your shift started in fifteen minutes. By the time you were ready it was time for you to begin making your way to the bridge. You were working, next to Worf for some odd reason but that's where Picard stationed you. You were wearing a new perfume that you didn't really like. Doctor Crusher gave it to you. She liked the smell, and you had never tried it until that day. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't the right scent for you. But, you put too much of it on and you didn't have time to shower so you smelled like artificial flowers.
