I will be the first to say that Riker haters are so valid but when it comes to me. I LOVE the Troi-Riker relationship. Every moment between them is like, I love you more deeply and passionately than anyone I have ever known or loved before and I want you to leave me alone about it. I'm excited when you get laid. People ask me for permission to date you. Every day we sit on either side of the capital-C Captain and we pretend that we are complete, confident professionals, and have never had our faces in each other's genitals. My mom tried to marry you. I had to stand watch when you gave birth because I couldn't bear to lose you. You are the only person that I can cry in front of. You know my mind as well as you know your own. We will never talk about it and we will never know what we could be but I love you I love you I love you.
