Me before I understand the joke

[girlmeetsworldismyeverything]

Yes! Let’s get into that.

Now I understand why Josh was the way he was. He was born when his siblings were already adults, or just way older than him, so he couldn’t relate to them, but he was older than Riley’s friend group, so he couldn’t relate to them either. And even though he couldn’t relate, he used his age to try to tell Maya and Riley what he thought of their situation, and because he’s older than them, they listened, plus he tried to use his psych class as gospel. I have a Bachelors in psychology, we never learned that lol.

When it comes to Josh and Maya, I understand that Josh liked that Maya admired him and (thought she liked him), but he should’ve stood his ground and really implement the age gap, because although 3 years isn’t that bad, the life experiences were. I don’t understand how a college freshman can have anything in common with a high school freshman. And let’s be clear, the only reason why Maya wanted to be with Josh so badly was because he was a Matthews, and she wanted to join the family and the only way she could, would be through Josh.

The reasoning behind why Josh said what he said about Maya “testing” Lucas to see if he was right for Riley makes sense. I know a lot of people think the writers are dumb or didn’t know what they were doing, but that’s not the case at all. I say this because Michael Jacobs (the creator) did an interview where the interviewer was worried that Riley and Lucas would be another Cory and Topanga. Michael made it VERY CLEAR that Riley and Lucas would never be. He then describes the two types of love that he believes in. the first type is cory and Topanga, two people who met each other and were together forever, despite all the hardships and trials they may face, they come out still in love. But there was another type, and this love consisted of two people, who liked each other, but they push each other as far as they can go together, and then move on to their forever person, aka, they prepare each other for their “soulmate”. In this case, we look at Shawn and Angela. Shawn and Angela were together and really liked each other, but fate had other plans for them. Angela moved away and we find out in girl meets hurricane that she married someone else. She tells Shawn that he prepared her for her husband, and we see that she prepared him for Katy.

Now let’s apply these different types of love to the core four. Riley and Lucas liked each other, helped each other grow, all of that. But fate didn’t plan for these two to be together forever, hence why their relationship was so stagnant. But which couple had that Cory and Topanga type love? Riley and Farkle. Riley and Farkle can relate because they’ve been friends since they were little (like Cory and Topanga), and they had deep, personal, and important conversations.  

Which couple had the comparison to Shawn and Angela? Riley and Lucas. They liked each other, and they help each other grow as much as they could and got them ready for the person they were supposed to be with. Farkle is that person for Riley, and who is that person for Lucas? Maya!

Lucas and Maya saw through the facades they both put up we also find out that maya and Lucas ad off screen conversations that are deep and personal as well (an example would be in girl meets rah rah), like Cory and Topanga. But their story can more so be compared to Cory and Lauren. Lauren was the girl Cory met at a ski lodge and he really liked her, like REALLY liked her. It got to a point to where he and Shawn used jellybeans to determine who Cory wanted to be with (and we saw that again in girl meets triangle). Cory ultimately realized that although he really liked Lauren, he had history with Topanga that he didn’t want to give up, therefore he made his choice. Did we see that in girl meets triangle? No. For everything Lucas had about Riley, he had something about Maya, they were both equal. The story of Cory and Lauren would be looked at as a road not taken. We never saw what could’ve happened with Cory and Lauren because of Topanga. Lauren was never going to be a main character; she was just an obstacle. Maya, however, is a main character, she’s not going anywhere. Now the road not taken is looking more like reality. Riley never thought that Lucas and Maya would like each other, and if this was a Lauren, Cory, and Topanga situation, she wouldn’t have anything to worry about, but it’s different, not only is Maya a main character, she’s Riley’s best friend, so whatever decision was made would affect all of them.

To sum this messy post up, Josh unconsciously veered everyone off course with his non explanation. He caused the kids to make the wrong decisions and the rest of season 3 is the effect of the wrong decisions being made. Riley and Lucas are together, but their relationship is barely shown, and we saw them alone ONCE (yet how many times did we see Riley and Farkle or Lucas and Maya alone? Ok). Maya and Lucas don’t even speak anymore, and Maya is stuck in a situationship with someone who isn’t around. The writers were showing the audience what happened because of bad decisions, but it needed to happen so that the right decisions would be made in the future (the future being season 4). But of course, we never got it, so we never go to see the road not taken. And to sum up what I said earlier, what Josh said made sense because that was the only way for the triangle to end the way it did. With maya believing that she didn’t want a nice guy, it made her think that she didn’t deserve Lucas and that he needed to be with Riley. It was the only way for the triangle to end, while still keeping Maya and Riley’s friendship intact.

what do you think of the whole maya having «turned in to» riley thing?? do u think there is truth in that, or do you think she just changed on her own and people started implying that her growth was just the copycat effect of being around riley so much?? ive never really been sure what i think of that whole thing!?! i feel like it might be a mix of both, but that they were wayyyyy to dramamtic about her not being «herself» anymore, like people change, thats what we do, it doesn’t always mean we have «lost ourselves» like they told maya she had. what do you think? 💖💖💖💖💖

Hello! Thank you for sending this, because there’s a lot to be said, so let’s get into it! 

 

To answer your question, it’s a mixture of yes and no. The reason why I say yes is because, if you can, rewatch girl meets world of terror 2. The scene where riley and maya empty their brains (that whole animation scene), it really tells a lot without explicitly saying it. Maya’s head was full of rileys, “don’t do this” “be like me”, and whatever else she said (it’s been a while since I’ve seen it). But that is why I say yes. This triangle situation was really taking an emotional toll on Maya, and she needed someone to just give her a little nudge back to who she was after girl meets hurricane. She just needs someone to restore the hope in her, and the hope that everything would turn out how it was supposed to. However, the only person who could do that (*cough* Lucas *cough*) was off figuring out his own feelings and he wasn’t able to see Maya’s crisis in time. By the time he realized what was happening, Maya was back in Mayaville and she wouldn’t listen to him, hence why she stepped back from him in girl meets true maya. The only person who was around was Riley and even though it was unintentional on her part, she pushed Maya back into who she’s always seen, which is a Maya who is upset with herself because she thinks she’s the reason why her father left, someone who didn’t have hope, and that’s not who Maya was anymore. Riley couldn’t see that because she wasn’t in a place where she could actually see that she and Lucas weren’t the end all, be all. That there was a chance that Lucas and Maya had something real, and that the feelings she thought she had for Lucas were actually for someone else (can you guess who? Lol).

The reason why I say no is because in girl meets triangle, when maya’s crisis is in full effect, she’s still thinking about the decision that has to be made and that they need to include Lucas because he’s a part of it. However, Riley doesn’t want to hear it because she’s not ready. I fully believe that the triangle dragged as long as it did because Riley wasn’t ready, Maya wanted to make sure Riley was happy, and Lucas didn’t want to hurt either of the girls, plus he was still figuring out his feelings for each of them. Like I said before, Maya was emotionally stuck, because she was worried about Riley, while also trying to deal with her deep feelings for Lucas. I don’t know if she realized how deep her feelings actually were, but we all could see that her feelings were very different from Riley’s. So, she was going through all of that, and trying to hang on to the hope she got since the middle-to end of season 2. That’s a lot to go through emotionally, so she did go a bit into rileytown, her hair and outfits say so. But she wasn’t as far in as Riley thinks she was. She never “became riley”, she was still very herself, just with hope and confidence (plus a new wardrobe, curtesy of Shawn). 

Michael Jacobs called season 3 the “season of feelings”. Seasons 1 and 2 were friendship and growth. Riley and Maya’s friendship wouldn’t have survived if Lucas and Maya got together before Riley was ready. Like Cory said, “feelings can tear apart friendship and growth”. At the end of the day, girl meets world was about Riley, Maya, and their friendship. Since Riley wasn’t near the level of growth Maya was at, it was unfortunately Maya’s growth that had to be diminished to save the friendship. But the best part about growth is that it can be restored, which we started to see in girl meets IDo. And who helped lead Maya down that path again? The same person who helped her gain hope, and if we would’ve gotten our season 4, we would’ve continued to see that growth. 

Also, if you realized it, Riley did start to grow during the back half of season 3. Because after ski lodge, what happened with Riley and Lucas’ relationship? Barely anything right? That’s because as Michael Jacobs said, in ski lodge part 2, the characters made the “wrong decisions”. That means that by Lucas choosing Riley, he made the wrong decision. Now how would we know how a character makes the right decision, look at girl meets goodbye. When Topanga was trying to figure out what to do about London, Eric told her to find her quiet place, which turned out to be Topanga’s. She sat there and made the right decision, which was to stay. Now, another character also sat in a quiet place to think about a decision. Can you guess who it was? 

Lucas! 

In girl meets upstate, he went to the bay window to wait for the girls to tell them his decision, and he sat there for quote “5 hours”. Who did he decide on? We never got to find out because maya didn’t give him the chance to, but given the context, the answer was Maya. Topanga was able to say what her decision was, Lucas didn’t, and in turn he wasn’t given the chance to say the right decision (Maya) and therefore made the wrong decision (Riley). 

Now getting back to what I had said earlier, in the back half of season 3, Riley and Lucas barely interacted. That was because (and remember, this is just based on my observation), since Lucas and Riley had pushed one another to the level of growth that they could, they couldn’t help each other anymore. They needed other people (Maya and Farkle respectively), to push them further. Riley didn’t realize it yet, but she was starting to outgrow Lucas and if we got our fourth season, we would’ve seen Riley realize that Lucas wasn’t who she made him to be, and she then would’ve looked back at everything and seen that while her intentions were good, she was wrong about a lot, and from there, would’ve been on her own journey of growth. 

I know this post got out of hand, but there is a lot of complexity to these characters. But I hope this helped answer your question, and please feel free to ask me again, if you need clarification on anything I’ve said!

just a quote from my book called “the texan side🌎— maxine m.” on wattpad

[solarwriting]

im about to spam you with farkle requests cause i miss my bby boi. could you do #12 (angst) with farkle when reader has a sucky week, but doesn't tell anyone cause she doesn't like telling anyone her feelings? thanks!

(Angst) 12. "Holding everything in doesn't help, you know."

Every time Y/n thought this week couldn't get worse, it did. When she thought the only bad thing would be the 50% she got on her last test she also had to deal with buy a new phone because hers was stolen, along with her wallet. At this point it was only Tuesday and she couldn't believe the week could get worse, but it did.

She got fired from her job on Wednesday. On Thursday, she spilled coffee all over her homework, effectively ruining it and the dog she was watching for her neighbor ran away (was later found but she didn't know that at the time). On Friday, with the dog still missing and posters up all around her apartments, she managed to fracture her wrist during PE and that's when Farkle notice.

"Hey," Farkle greeted softly as Y/n sat in the nurses office waiting to get picked up by her family.

"Hi." Y/n said sadly as keept her eyes directed at the ground.

Farkle sat next to her on the side of the bed, "Are you okay, besides the injured wrist."

He put is arm over her shoulder softly and waited for her response. He knew something was up, she had been distant with him and all of their friends and he wanted to know why.

"This week sucks!" Y/n said abruptly as her vision blurred, "I hate it!"

"What happened? Talk to me." Farkle softly urged.

"Okay, well I failed my test, my phone and wallet got stolen, I got fired, lost my neigbor's dog, ruined all my homework with coffee and now I hurt my stupid wrist!" As Y/n let it out she began crying and Farkle wrapped her up in a hug and rubbed her back softly, making sure to be careful of her wrist.

"Holding everything in doesn't help, you know."

Y/n sniffled and rubbed her eyes with her good hand, "I know, I just didn't want to bug anyone. It was stupid."

"It's not stupid, I love you and I want to help you when you're upset. Even if it's just to hug you while you cry."

"I love you, too." Y/n smiled, hugging Farkle once more.

"Y/n," The nurse called, "You're ride is here."

missing this hot lil duo right about now

[luckyheromongerrascal]

I think that josh wouldn’t be mayas first kiss or first boyfriend and I think that at times one would be single while the other was with someone or they would be ready for each other but the time wasn’t right but in the end they would find each other and it would happen for them

[1littleshippergirl1]

Girl meets world was okay-ish but one thing that bothered me was Topanga's exaggerated facial expressions during her scenes with Auggie. That just irritated me so much lol that's why I flash forwarded through those scenes most of the time

[sueniosrotosaunconilucion-world]

They give nothing to this couple and look at how hot they could have been. Ugh, they had so much potential. I miss GMW so damn much

[oxangejuice]

I had an silly idea! Farkle getting jealous when reader became friends with Chase 😂

very interesting indeed :)

♯. you belong with me — farkle minkus x reader x chase davenport

warning: none

slightly chase davenport he’s only mentioned by name

you/yours pronouns are used! fem terms are used!

FARKLE MINKUS had been the best thing about New York. Of course, the friends made along the way helped, but the relationship you had with Farkle meant everything.

You two would talk about anything and everything with each other; which included your pen pal, Chase Davenport.

You and Chase had been pen pals for almost a year ago and he somehow convinced Mr. Donald Davenport to let him come and visit you all the way in New York.

You talked about it for days, even Riley Matthews and Maya Hart were excited to see him.

“Is he cute?” Maya asked.

The group (including Lucas, Zay, and Smackle) all gathered in Topanga’s. Just a hang out of sorts.

“Yeah, is he?” Smackle asked with a smile.

You hands and been interlocked with Farkle as you smiled at your friends.

“I mean, he’s just some guy y’know?” You answered, “Kinda like Lucas.”

“What does that mean?” He asked.

“Look, he’ll be here tomorrow. You’ll all be able to hang out with him when he’s here.”

“How king is he staying?” Farkle asked.

“Though the weekend. My mom is going to take him to the airport on Monday.”

“I call dibs.” Maya said, “No one else can have him.”

“I think you’ll like him. All of you.” You smiled, “He’s super smart and—“

“You can have him Smackle.” Maya said.

You faced Farkle, “I think you two would get along?”

Farkle on the other hand didn’t think so. He hadn’t seen you talk so highly about some that he didn’t know. He didn’t know how to describe how he felt. He had been pretty bad at expressing himself and didn’t really know how to tell you how he actually felt.

“That’s great.” He smiled.

That’s when the day came. Chase Davenport had arrived in New York and all your friends seemed to adore Chase’s presence; even Maya.

But Farkle never showed. The group had all made it to Topanga’s but Farkle never came.

You excused yourself from everyone, apologize to Chase for your sudden departure.

You traveled to the Minkus residence and walked into Farkle’s bedroom, smiling at the train as it made its way around his bed.

There he sat, watching you with careful eyes.

“You never showed up at Topanga’s. I was getting worried.”

“Thought you’d been too busy with Chase to notice.”

“What?”

“Nothing.”

You held furrowed brows and joined Farkle’s side on the bed, “What are you talking about?”

Farkle sighed, “Is he smarter than me or—“

“Who?”

“Chase.”

The two of you sat in a silence. You had no idea that he’d felt this way nor how long he’d felt that way.

“Why does that matter?”

“You like him don’t you?”

“I like you Farkle. That’s why I’m with you.” You gently grabbed his hand and held a smile, “I left Chase’s side as soon as I realized you weren’t coming.”

“He’s just… you talk so highly about him.”

“I’m always talking to Chase about you.” You reassured, “You were part of the reason he wanted to come.”

“Really?”

“I thought it would be cool if you two talked about all your ideas and cool science stuff.” You smiled.

Farkle sighed, suckling down further into his bed, “I guess I let… my heh— get the best of me.”

“Talk to me next time Farkle.” You stood, “It’s you and me.”

“Wanted to marry you in first grade.”

“You also wanted to marry Maya and Riley.”

“Not anymore.” He smiled.

A Third Fake Business

Pairings: Riley Matthews x Lucas Friar

Summary: Based on Season 1, Episode 10 - Girl Meets Crazy Hat. A third fake business comes into operation but it's not The Matthews and Hart Umbrella Foundation.

Half the class was still rolling on the sugar high from Farkle's 'cupcakes'.

So the day after, when everyone was coming down from their sugar high. The fake businesses when from two to three, without anybody noticing.

Cory declared the fake companies lesson was finished (which Farkle wasn't happy about), and announced the winner.

Looking at where Farkle Minkus was currently sat in his chair. Riley stood behind him, with a raised eyebrow and a similar posture to Topanga, with Maya and Lucas stood by the desk, backs facing the window.

"In first place," Cory started with a surprising drumroll from the rest of the class. "Riley,"

Said youngest was proud of herself, as Farkle stood up from Mr. Matthews chair. "Farkle and Riley," he says.

"No, Farkle. Just me," Riley says. "Seeing as though you were too blind for money, I decided to take my business into my own hands. You can have two businesses, right daddy?"

"Whatever you say, sweetie," Cory replied.

Farkle was stumped for a moment. "What sells better than sugar?"

"Only one thing," Riley replied. "Oh, Auggie!" In came her 5-year-old brother, fresh out of his half day at school, and Riley picked him up. "Cuteness sells better than sugar."

Cory was impressed.

"That's against the rules!" Farkle declared.

"You never said anything about another business, Mr. Matthews," Maya chimes in, a smirk on her face. Clearly the blonde was rubbing off a bit on Riley.

Cory tried to find the words. "Who's funding this?"

"I went over your head," Riley says, putting Auggie down and stood next to her father.

"You went to grandma?" He asked.

Riley giggled, resting a hand on his shoulder. "No, I went to THE boss," she emphasised. "Mom!" Riley called, and in walked Topanga.

Riley's face brightened, as Topanga stood to the side of Auggie, proud of her daughter.

Lucas swapped places with Maya, so he was now stood next to Riley. "Impressive," he tells her.

"Sometimes he forget my mother is Topanga Matthews," Riley says, looking over her shoulder at her father.

There’s a Farkle Under Your Bed (Riarkle Future One-Shot)

Fandom: Girl Meets World

Pairing(s): Riarkle (Main), Corpanga

Characters: (Main) Riley Matthews, Farkle Minkus, and Cory Matthews, (Supporting) Topanga Lawerence-Matthews and Auggie Matthews

Rating: T for compromising positions and some shirtlessness…? Idk…the making out got a little out of hand, honestly. Lolz.

Description: It turns out Cory Matthews has been chasing the wrong boy out of his daughter’s bay window for years. But, the real threat is now clear… Or at least pretty clearly hiding under the girl’s bed.

Author’s Note: So, technically, this one-shot is a part of my canon future Riarkle one-shot collection. If you want, read the other pieces in that collection, if not… High school Riarkle is still always cute, am I right? Also, there isn’t any sex, but for real, this is an intense make out scene, so be aware because I don’t want to offend!

Riley felt absolutely lightheaded by the time her back connected with her mattress. Had she not already been utterly breathless, the landing might have knocked the air from her lungs.

Reaching up, she frantically pulled the boy hovering over her closer, drawing him in for another kiss between gasps for oxygen. Ironically, her radio, which she'd turned up to cover up any noises that might be made, played Into You by Ariana Grande at near full volume just as her boyfriend ducked his head to begin kissing a trail from her jaw to where her pulse beat erratically on her neck.

She shrieked before peeling into giggles as he nibbled that one spot that he knew damn well was ticklish.

Breaking from her skin to laugh, Farkle hushed her, "Quiet! Remember?"

Riley replied with only a whine, pulling his lips back up to her's. Farkle smirked into the kiss but didn't whisper any more orders, keeping his mouth busy with much more pleasurable activities.

Two months.

They'd only been dating two months and Riley was positive that this was the boy she was going to marry one day.

Because being with Farkle wasn't like being with Lucas. It never had been, not even when she and Farkle were just friends and Lucas was like her brother.

For one, Lucas didn't get her like Farkle.  

Lucas was always needing everything spelled out for him. Farkle was the Abigail Adams High School spelling bee champ two years running and he could read Riley like an open book. There was an intimacy between them that Riley couldn’t fathom sharing with Lucas.

And then there was the talking. 

Hours of conversation with Farkle passed like seconds when it had drug on for days with Lucas. She felt guilty, knowing the Texas boy really had given it his all but there had always been something so uncomfortable about the attempts. And sure, Lucas had put in an effort but Riley liked that Farkle didn't have to. He was just that at ease with her. 

Lastly, was this stuff. 

Lucas was cute and had made Riley's stomach twist and her palms sweat but that attraction seemed so childish and immature compared to this fire. Burning and all-consuming, she felt a need for more every time Farkle so much as brushed his hand against hers.

Then again, maybe that fire wasn't exactly good for her either.

It was definitely distracting. She'd figured that out one day in English when she'd snapped out of a daydream to find she'd written a whole page about Farkle's shoulder blades and his jawline at the desk in front of her. Absolutely humiliating.

In the present time, however, with Farkle's tall figure settled on top of her and his lips skimming the skin just underneath her earlobe, Riley couldn't care any less about that. About anything really.

"Up," She ordered, shoving him back.

Sitting back, Farkle gave her a confused look. 

She used his shoulders to put herself in a sitting position, gripping the hem of her boyfriend's t-shirt with darkened eyes, "Off."

Swallowing hard, the boy nodded frantically and clumsily raised his arms, nearly clocking himself in the face. In one easy sweep, Riley pulled the shirt detailing the periodic table off and tossed it aside. Jerking her hips to the side, she managed to roll them and leave Farkle staring up at her dumbfounded.

Hair spilling over her shoulder, she smiled down at him with that burning fire in her gaze and ran her hands down his shoulders to his chest.

They had made out a lot in their two months, but admittedly this was the first time any clothing had been removed. Riley just couldn't help it; she wanted more.

And Farkle, who wasn’t even sure he believed in God, was completely certain that she was an angel. Or maybe a goddess herself. A siren?

Leaning down, she pressed a searing kiss to his cheek, then another to the corner of his eye, both of which fluttered shut, and finally to his ear. He might know her best spots but she certainly knew his.

Lightly, she bit his ear. The pit of her stomach scorched in satisfaction as Farkle moaned beneath her, hands coming up to clutch her hips. His fingertips were almost painful against her bones but she welcomed the closeness, feeling the electrical current surge through her from the contact.

More.

Sitting up, Riley grasped the hem of her own long sleeve and battled with the skin tight fabric until it too was tossed aside, leaving her in only the bra with rainbow-colored cats she'd picked out that morning. It was totally not sexy and if she's thought about before she discarded her shirt she probably wouldn't have done it.

Farkle, however, looked up at her with some thrilling mix between complete dedication and blind admiration. Her eyes locked with his, cheeks turning a nervous pink as she weakly smiled, and she had no warning before he was sitting up and kissing her breathless all over again.

His hands slipped up her sides, leaving goosebumps and pure electricity in their wake.

Somewhere in the back of her mind, she recalled a booth in a cafe and a time when Farkle had said he hadn't even realized she or Maya was beautiful. He had loved them then despite looks and now he was making it very clear that, though he may love her differently now, she was still gorgeous to him.

Laying back down together, lips locked, Riley shifted off of her knees to lie completely on top of her boyfriend. So much of him had never been in direct contact with so much of her and Riley imagined that this, this collision of atoms and matter and energy, must have been how the Big Bang went down.

A love to create galaxies... Not that they’d said that aloud quite yet.

Farkle attempted to flip them back over to gain dominance, only to run out of bed and send them both crashing hard into the floorboards below.

Riley, landing on the bottom, giggled up at the ceiling, "Ow?"

"Oh my god! Are you okay?" Farkle asked while sitting up and resting a hand on her bare waist, looking her over.

Nodding, the girl continued to grin, finding his worry utterly adorable, "Yeah, I'm-"

"Riley! What was that noise?!" A voice yelled from some distance on the other side of her bedroom door.

Both teenagers froze for a second, staring at each other in horror, before snapping into the action. Farkle rolled across the floor, grabbing Riley's shirt and tossing it to her as she stood and rushed towards the radio to turn it down, "It was nothing, Daddy! I'm fine!"

Catching a glance at the mess her hair had become, she gasped and turned to give her boyfriend a glare, hissing, and pointing, "Seriously?"

Outside, footsteps were coming down the hallway, "Did you fall off the bed again? This is why your mother tells you not to jump on it, ya know?"

"What do I do?" Farkle whispered, looking around frantically for his t-shirt and coming up short.

Riley gave him a look of desperation as she yelled toward the bedroom door, "I know, Dad! I'm out of control!"

'Out of control?' Farkle mouthed, quirking an eyebrow. His girlfriend rolled her eyes and shoved him towards the bed, hissing, "Hide underneath and stay quiet!"

He had just managed to duck beneath when he heard Riley's door fly open without a single knock, classic Cory Matthews Style.

"Dad! I'm seventeen now, you really need to knock!" He heard Riley scold.

Cory scoffed, "I am your father, I'll knock when, if, I wanna," Farkle could only imagine the eye roll Mr. Matthews was getting for that little comeback. "Besides, I was concerned for your safety!"

"Well, like I said, I'm fine! So, you can-"

"Riley?"

"Hmm?"

"Why does there appear to be a person under your bed?"

Farkle's heart dropped. Feet away, he could hear Riley drowning as she tried to recover the situation, "A person? Under my bed?"

"Yes, Riley."

"Well, why on Earth would someone be there?"

Mr. Matthews sounded more panicked now, "That's what I'd like to know!"

"Well, me too!"

Suddenly hands were grasping Farkle's ankles and he was practically nose-to-nose with his girlfriend's father, who also happened to be his History teacher, without a shirt on. He swallowed hard, heart racing so fast he was probably seconds from cardiac arrest.

Over her father's shoulder, Farkle saw Riley fake a gasp, "Farkle! How did you get down-"

Cory, his face turning red, raised a hand to silence his daughter. She choked mid-sentence and looked down at her feet. Desperate to break the tense silence, Farkle spoke up, "Always nice to see you, Sir."

Riley face palmed.

"Farkle," Cory started low and dangerous, "You're in my daughter's room."

The teenage boy nodded slowly, "It would appear that way, Sir."

"You were under her bed."

"Again, a solid observation."

"You're shirtless."

"...It was very warm?"

That was not the right thing to say. Cory stood up, allowing Farkle scramble to his feet as the grown man pointed widely between the two teenagers.

"But-but you're Farkle! You're the one I didn't have to worry about! And it turns out this whole time, you've been sneaking in for one thing!" Cory whiled on Riley, pointing inches from her mortified face. "Sex!"

"Sir, I swear that isn't-" Farkle tried to fumble out some sentence to reassure the older man but he got the feeling that Cory wasn't going to be reassured by anything he had to say.

Luckily, Riley cut him off, exclaiming, "Dad! Oh my god! We weren't even having sex!"

But Cory was beyond listening, throwing his hands over his ears, "In my own house! Under my own roof!"

More footsteps came down the hallway and soon Topanga was in her daughter's doorway, taking in the scene before her, "What is going on?!"

Cory fell to his knees, hugging his wife around the middle and pointing back to the two blushing, humiliated teenagers, "Deflowering our little girl, Topanga! My own house! Shirtless!"

Riley mother looked Farkle over, standing there with no shirt, and then her daughter, with messy hair and a disbelieved shirt of her own, letting things click into place. Petting her husband's hair, she looked down at him, "Cory, get yourself together. We have a situation to deal with, not go into over dramatics over."

Ten minutes later, Riley and Farkle sat at either end of the Matthews' couch. The poor boy had finally recovered his t-shirt but not his pride.

Glancing over at her boyfriend, Riley wondered if this was it for them.

Sure, Farkle knew how crazy Cory was from their long friendship but it was different now. What if he decided she wasn't worth the trouble? If her crazy family really wasn't what he wanted?

Cory paced before them, finishing up his lecture, "And even if you two think it's just sex, sex can lead to babies! And babies are for life!"

She'd said it a million times in the last ten minutes, but again Riley prepared to repeat herself. We weren't even having sex! They'd only been dating two months, for god's sake! And Riley, well, she'd never... The point was they'd never even had sex!

Farkle, however, beat her to it, speaking for the first time since they'd been drug into the living room. 

"Excuse me, Mr. Matthews. I understand that you're upset about finding out about me and Riley but you seem to be under the impression that this," he gestured between himself and the brunette, "Is some sort of 'friends with benefits' relationship based on sex."

Clearing his throat and plucking up his courage, he turned to look right at Riley. Their eyes locked and he could see the uncertainty in those melting chocolate spheres. Shaking his head, he continued more softly, "It's not like that."

"Oh yeah? Then, please Farkle, enlighten us!" Cory exclaimed, sweeping his arm around the room to Topanga and a poorly hidden, eavesdropping Auggie.

"I- I, uh," Farkle reached over and took Riley's hand, running a thumb over her knuckles, "I love her, Sir. We're really together and I love her."

He'd said the words before, but this was a declaration in front of someone more than just her. A declaration that meant so much more. It melted her heart and she couldn't help but smile. 

Maybe he really did think she was worth the trouble after all...

"Riley?" Her mother's voice drew her back to the planet Earth and the living room.

She turned away from electric blue eyes and looked at Topanga, eyebrows furrowed.

Her mother continued, "Is this true?"

Riley didn't exactly know if her Mom meant the 'really together' part or the 'I love her' bit but either way, she was pretty sure she knew the answer. Slowly, surely, she nodded, "Yes, it's true. And I love him."

She still got grounded for a month and a lifelong ban on boyfriends in the bedroom...

But Farkle loved her and she loved him so it could have been worse.

Pretty such Riarkle is pure sweetness? Everyone agree? Okay, ANYWAY! Check out the other one-shots in this series. They are are based in the future and at canon compliant. AND SEND ME REQUESTS!!!
