"Killian," Emma sighs as her boyfriend takes her by the hand and drags her across a meadow. "Where are we going?"
"If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise date, now would it?" Killian pulls Emma to a big tree with an impressive picnic spread across it.
"Killian, this is insane!" Emma cries. "You got all my favorites!" And so he had. The one-handed pirate had set out the perfect spread of grilled-cheese sandwiches and lasagna with rum and cocoa to drink. After Killian and Emma sit down and serve themselves some food, Emma looks around a bit.
"What are you looking for, love?" Killian asks.
"It looks like you may have forgotten…" Emma starts.
"Cinnamon?" Killian produces a little bottle of cinnamon and sugar from his vest pocket.
"You even remembered cinnamon for the cocoa!" Emma says. "Killian, you're the best."
"Tell me something I don't already know, love," Killian teases. He takes a swig of rum and a bite of grilled cheese. After a moment, Killian asks Emma a question.
"What do you want, Swan?" He asks.
"Well some more of that lasagna would be perfect right about now," Emma replies.
"No love, I mean in life," Killian says with a small smirk.
"Oh," Emma sighs. "Oh I don't know, I suppose I want what a lot of people do."
"What is that?"
"A home. A loving family. I'd like to put all of this insane fairytale stuff behind us one day and just settle down, you know?"
"Life could be sweet," Killian replies. He pours some rum for Emma and himself. "To the future." Emma nods, smiles, and taps her tumbler to Killian's.
"What did you pack for dessert?" Emma asks.
"I save the best for last," Killian sets his glass down and moves Emma's face to his with his hand. "I love you Swan." Emma kisses Killian and presses him up against the tree next to their picnic blanket.
"This was a really nice time Killian," Emma says.
"We're not done yet," Killian presses his lips to Emma's once more. After a moment Emma breaks away and smiles.
"You scoundrel," she teases. Killian smiles as well. "Never go anywhere, okay?"
"Never, Swan," Killian puts his arm around Emma and pulls her close.
