~Killian and Emma both still in front of Granny's before they go back inside at the end of 3x22~
"Do you know what else I missed?" She pulled away from his kiss, forehead resting gently against his.
"What's that, Swan?" He breathed, eyes half moons, hazy with love lust.
"This." She kissed him again, softly. "When I was kissing you – past you – it was like being with you but not really. Just like with my parents. At first it was easy to pretend I wasn't me and it was a different you." She stroked the back of his head, fingers playing with the tufts of his hair at the base of his neck. "But I knew it wasn't really you.And that hopefully you wouldn't remember that bar wench. But then I hated that you didn't know me and that it wasn't us." Emma held his gaze as a small smile tugged at his lips.
"But everything else in the Enchanted Forest – the real us – working together and just, all of it – it was so easy."
"Well I wouldn't say it was all easy." He chuckled, "We met a few obstacles."
"That's not what I mean. I mean being with you was easy."
"I told you, Love, we make a quite the team."His hand stroked her jaw, twirling the strands of hair in his fingers.
"But we're not just a team, Killian." She smiled and leaned into him again, pressing her lips against his because now she finally could without anything holding her back, mostly herself.
It was everything she always wanted and had been too afraid to let herself have. And it was easy, they just fit perfectly together. She remembered him comforting her after she thought her mother just died, him leading her around the dance floor, and just being by her side every step of the way. Always there to hold her and catch her and even try to rescue her. But he'd always been by her side. Ever since he came back to Storybrooke to help them go after Pan, he'd been at her side dutifully.
She pulled away again and looked into his beautiful blue eyes that she could finally admit to herself make her more than a little yearn.
"We're home," she breathed, lightly brushing his exposed chest, placing her hand just over his heart.
