Author's Note: They have given me the feels yet again. Thank you to those who follow and stick around. You are much appreciated.

Killian Jones didn't think he had ever run as fast as he was running now. He had to get to her before she did something he was certain she would regret.

He was running on fumes, but he wouldn't stop. Panting, he began to see a striking blue light working its way into the sky.

No.

"Swan!" he yelled as he approached the clearing. She was on her knees, her hands thrown up towards the sky, her head thrown back as blue wisps of magic left her fingertips.

He ran towards her. "Swan!" he yelled, grabbing her attention. "Stay away Killian! I have to do this!" she yelled, tears streaming down her cheeks as she turned to look at him. "I could have hurt Henry!" She gasped for air, her tears choking her. She shook her head at him as he walked even closer to her. "I said stay away!" she yelled. "I don't want to hurt you too! Please!" she yelled.

He grabbed her shoulder and as he did so, the wind around them became stronger. "Don't do this!" he yelled, her blue magic now being pulled from her in larger waves. "Please! Don't listen to whatever the Snow Queen said! Can't you see this is what she wants?! She wants you to doubt yourself!"

Emma's tears began to stream freely now as she shook her head and started to shake the more her magic left her body.

It was a sight Killian couldn't bear. He shook his head as tears began to well in his eyes. Grabbing her shoulders, he turned her towards him. "Emma! You and I, we understand each other right?! Listen to me!" he howled as the wind grew louder around them.

Emma tried to wriggle free. "No!" she yelled. "Please let go! I don't want to hurt you! Please! I can't hurt you Killian!" she yelled. "I'm a monster! She was right! How could anyone love me?!" Killian held on to her tight, screaming as loud as he could. "Look at me!" he yelled.

As Emma looked into his eyes, filled with tears just as hers were, he sighed and swallowed. "I love you." he said. Emma's tear-filled eyes widened and suddenly her blue magic began to circle around them instead.

He grabbed her hand, interlocking his fingers with hers. As soon as he did so, the blue wisps of magic from her fingertips ceased. Her blue magic was circled around them still, but faintly disappearing into beautiful tiny particles of bright blue.

She stared at him, silent tears streaming down her face. He caressed her cheek. "You are not a monster. Monsters don't save people. You have not only saved your loved ones on numerous occasions, but you have saved me. Before you came into my life, I thought I was a monster. But you handed me a bean and suddenly I saw more in myself, a man I thought long gone. You saved me, Emma, and I love you for that. Please know that you are loved. I love you. I love you. I love you." he whispered, resting his forehead against hers.

Emma closed her eyes, a single tear escaping as she reached up to touch Killian's cheek. She took a deep breath, willing him to look into her eyes.

"I love you too." she whispered.

Killian Jones and Emma's Swan's lips met, and as they did, the blue magic particles around them shimmered into the brightest blue you could imagine.
