so as the hermit I am I have a lot of free time in between uploadin my other fics and I get bored and my mind just wanders off to ideas for other fics and I decided that I'll start a collection of one shots to pass the time, I'll be uploading a new one everyday and if people really like them I'll continue enjoy xoxox
Theis first one shot is of the missing year.
The missing year.
The outlaw walked slowly but confidently towards the queens chambers. He doubted she'd let him in after he'd found her alone in the gardens crying, nobody should be alone when they are hurt and just because she was a queen it didn't mean she should have to suffer in silence she needed comfort and robins aim was to provide that comfort.
He knocked loudly 3 times no answer. He knocked again and again until his knuckles hurt "Regina I know your in there and I know your sad but please let me in I want to help." He said sincerely he waited a few moments and when he could hear no movement on the other side of the door he sighed solemnly to himself why must she be so difficult he thought as he turned to leave.
He took roughly about 3 steps away from the door before he heard a click that would have been impossible to notice if it hadn't been so quiet. He approached her door and turned the door handle slowly and what he saw shocked him to no end, the normally so well put together queen, lying in bed with tears rolling uncontrollably down her cheeks her eyes puffy and red from crying. He shut her door fast knowing that it was hard to let him "a thief" in her words see her like this let alone anybody else.
"What is it?" He asked stroking her back as he sat beside her on the bed she didn't answer but then again she didn't need to he knew exactly what was wrong when he saw what she was clutching so close to her "it's your son isn't it?" She nodded slowly as he clutched a picture of Henry closer to her. "He's forgotten me completely, he doesn't ever remember who I am." She said simply and he knew what he was about to do next would have her tearing his head off if she was in her right mind but he held her close to him and rubbed soothing patterns on her back.
"I'm so sorry Milady I can't even begin to understand what your feeling." He said honestly and she sighed loudly before relaxing in his hold. "I lost him, he was every thing to me" she chocked out.
"Hey" he said before placing a hand under her chin coaxing her to look at him "where's the regina I know hmm? The one with bite in everything she says and an annoying yet admittedly hot fiery attitude?" He asked softly and she looked away before replying quietly "It seems my fire has gone out". It broke his heart to see her admitting defeat so easily, he's seen so many different sides of her, the regal side, the fun side, the sarcastic side but never had he eer witnessed her so broken.
"Your wrong, that fire inside you may be just embers now but I guarantee you it will rise into a flame and you'll be bouncing back bigger and stronger than ever and do you know how I know that?" She shook her head.
"Because I believe in you." He said before kissing her gently.
