Rocky hadn't moved for a week. Neither had Riker. Rocky stared at Riker's flawless face and hair that stayed perfectly in place over the past week. Rocky brushed his fingers through Riker's hair and a tear slid down his cheek. "I love you Riker" Rocky whispered weakly and kissed Riker's pail lips. Rocky held Riker's limp hand and continued to admire Riker's flawless features while he hoped he would wake up soon.
Stormie stood in the doorway and sighed as she saw Rocky in the same spot he had been the previous seven days. "Rocky you need sleep or a shower at least" Stormie sighed "I do get sleep and I don't want to leave his side. I don't want him to wake up and me not be here" Rocky explained "sweetie he'll be ok, you don't need to worry. I'll stay here while you go home and freshen up" Stormie said "ok" Rocky sniffled and stood up. Stormie saw that he had been crying again and his eyes were glossy. "oh baby" Stormie sighed and hugged Rocky. "mom, I miss him, even though he's here it's his body not his smile and his perfect eyes, I need him" Rocky sobbed into his mother's shoulder. "I know, now go freshen up and I'll stay with Riker" Stormie told him so he nodded and walked outside to his car.
Rocky got home and went to the shower. After his shower he went to his room and got dressed. He spotted his picture of him and Riker he kept on his night stand and picked it up. He smiled slightly at when he went to the beach with Riker and the family when this picture was taken.
Flash back
Rocky and Riker got out of the van with the rest of the family and grabbed their stuff. They found a good spot then grabbed their surf boards. "I bet I can catch a wave faster than you" Riker smirked "you're on" Rocky smiled and they both grabbed their boards and ran into the water. Riker spotted a wave and paddled into it. The two caught the same wave and laughed at each other.
The two boys walked back on the beach and Riker hugged Rocky. "you cheated" Riker smiled "did not" Rocky argued and put sea weed in Riker's hair. "eww Rocky!" Riker squealed and grabbed the sea weed. Riker chased Rocky and threw the sea weed at Rocky. Rocky grabbed Riker from behind and smiled. "I love you" Rocky smiled and kissed Riker's temple "I love you too" Riker smiled and looked up. ROcky connected their lips and heard the rest of the family saying awe and shit. "mom, you took a picture?" Rocky whined "I want to keep memories of my sons' first boyfriend" Stormie said "how do you know Rocky is my first boyfriend?" Riker asked "well have you had a boyfriend before?" Rocky asked "no" Riker smiled and kissed Rocky's cheek.
End of flash back
Rocky slid down the wall and cried. He hit his head against the wall and stared at the ceiling while tears poured down his cheeks. Rydel walked into the room and saw Rocky. She sat next to him and rested her head on his shoulder and sighed.
"Delly?"
"Yeah?"
"what do I do?"
"about what?"
"everything, I need Riker. I just want him to wake up"
"just wait, pray and hope he wakes up"
Rocky sighed and stood up. "thanks Delly" Rocky sighed and grabbed his keys.
Rocky walked back into the hospital room and looked at Stormie who was smiling. "why are you smiling?" Rocky asked then he looked at Riker and saw his perfect hazel eyes for the first time in a week. "oh my god Riker you're awake!" Rocky smiled "kind of" The doctor said from behind Rocky. "what does that mean?" Rocky asked "he can see, hear and talk but his body still thinks he's in a coma so he can't move yet" The doctor explained so Rocky nodded. "Rocky?" Riker asked "hey babe" Rocky smiled "I love you" Riker smiled so Rocky walked over and connected their lips.
"damn I missed that" Rocky smiled "me too" Riker smiled. "so how's the past week been?" Rocky asked sarcastically "quite interesting. what's today's date?" Riker asked "May twenty third twenty fifteen" Rocky chuckled "really a week?" Riker asked "yup it was the worst week of my life" Rocky sighed and laced the two's finger's together. Rocky carefully turned Riker's head to the side so he could see him while he was sitting and smiled. "I missed looking into your perfect hazel eyes" Rocky smiled "I missed you" Riker smiled. "I wish we could just go home and cuddle" Rocky sighed "we will soon. I'm really trying to move but it's not working" Riker sighed. "it'll take time but now that I can talk to you and kiss you I think it's worth the wait" Rocky smiled "Rocky bear can you sing to me?" Riker asked "sure babe" Rocky smiled and started singing smile.
Rocky finished and smiled back at Riker who was sitting there smiling. "Rocky bear, am I gonna die?" Riker asked "no, you won't die. not for a long time, I promise" Rocky assured him "I love you" Riker smiled with tears in his eyes. "I love you too" Rocky smiled slightly and wiped the tear from Riker's cheek. "hey don't cry. it'll all going to get better in the end. think of all the good things that have happened. We are legally allowed to date now" Rocky smiled "you're right, we've had a perfect life up til now and nothing should stop us now" Riker smiled and suddenly Rocky felt a hand tighten around his. He looked down and saw Riker's hand squeezing his. Rocky jumped up and hugged Riker. Riker hugged back and smiled.
A week later Riker was home on the couch with Rocky. "out of all the bassist in the world I would say you are the sexiest" Rocky told Riker "out of all the guitar players in the world you are the sexiest" Riker smiled "you are perfect" Rocky smiled "so are you" Riker smiled "I love you Rikey" Rocky smiled "I love you too Rocky bear" Riker smiled and pecked Rocky's lips a few times. "you guys are weirder than Rydellington" Ross said "what ever, don't you have a girlfriend slash fuck buddy?" Riker asked "shut up and Courtney is busy" Ross grumbled "well as I remember, before we got arrested someone still owed me a taste of his chicken" Rocky smirked "go upstairs if you're going to shove each others dicks up your asses" Ross said so Riker dragged Rocky upstairs to his room.
The two laid in bed naked, tired from their session. Riker cuddled into Rocky's chest and closed his eyes. "I love you" Riker mumbled and kissed Rocky's chest. "I love you too" Rocky replied and held Riker close to him. The two drifted into a peaceful sleep within minutes.
Mark wanted to check on Riker to see how he was doing since he got out of the hospital. Mark walked into the band house and smiled at Rydellington on the couch. "where's your brothers?" Mark asked "Ross is out surfing and the other two are upstairs" Rydel told him "ok, I just wanted to see how Riker is doing since he got out of the hospital" Mark explained and went upstairs.
Mark walked into Riker's room and saw Riker asleep curled up in Rocky's chest. Mark smiled at the two boys asleep in Riker's bed. He debated whether to wake Riker up or not. He decided not to but took a picture for Stormie.
Mark got home and sat next to Stormie. "hey honey what's up?" Stormie asked "I'm just really proud of Riker and Rocky for standing up for what they believe in and staying strong together no matter what people say" Mark explained "It's amazing, I didn't think they would do this but them dating is amazing. I've never seen either one of them so happy. I'm super glad they got together" Stormie smiled "oh and look at this, I went over to check on Riker and I found the two like this" Mark smiled pulling up the picture of the two boys. "awe, Rocky was really worried about Riker and I'm glad they are both healthy and happy" Stormie smiled and went through her pictures of Riker and Rocky. "do you think they will get married?" Stormie asked "possibly, I think they are both really happy together and it could last forever" Mark replied then the door bell rang. Mark shrugged and answered the door to Rocky.
Rocky sat on the couch and looked at his parents "what's up Rocky?" Mark asked "I want to get married" Rocky sighed "ok, everyone does at one point" Mark smiled "to Riker" Rocky added "oh sweetie you totally should get married. you two are perfect to each other and I've never seen either one of you happier" Stormie smiled "I know but should I propose to him?" Rocky asked "to you see you and Riker together for the rest of your lives?" Mark asked "yeah, I love him more than anything and I can see us together for the rest of our lives" Rocky smiled "well plan an extremely special date, find a ring that he would like and figure out how you're going to ask" Mark explained "it's that simple?" Rocky asked "yup, that's the three steps to proposing, I followed them and got your mom and it's the best decision I ever made" Mark smiled "awesome thanks dad, I will see you later" Rocky smiled and left.
Rocky sat in his room writing down his plans for his date in a note book and figuring out his budget when Riker walked in. "hey Rocky bear what 'cha doing?" Riker asked "nothing" Rocky lied "what's in the notebook?" Riker asked "nothing" Rocky smiled "stop lying, what are you hiding?" Riker chuckled it's a surprise" Rocky smiled "can I see?" Riker asked "no, it would ruin the surprise, can you go make me a margarita?" Rocky asked sweetly "sure" Riker chuckled and pecked Rocky's lips before leaving. Rocky kept planning the perfect proposal and hoped Riker wouldn't find his plans. Rocky decided he'll get the ring tomorrow and have the date day after tomorrow.
Riker walked back in with two margaritas and smiled. "hey babe what happened to your skull ring?" Rocky asked looking at the scratched ring. "oh it got scratched I was planning on going to get it fixed tomorrow" Riker explained "I'll take it tomorrow I have a meeting to go to so I can get it fixed afterwards" Rocky smiled "you don't have to" Riker smiled "but I will because I love you and I don't want you wasting your life waiting on a scratch to be fixed" Rocky smiled and Kissed Riker. "ok let's go get some dinner" Rocky smiled and the two went downstairs to eat.
