"Hey Emma, do you want to build a snowman?"
Emma rolled her eyes in mock annoyance but couldn't fight the smile that tugged at her lips. Ever since Snow had dragged her and the girls to see Frozen the pixie haired beauty had been singing the songs nonstop. Like, went and bought the soundtrack the same day and had playing it on constant replay nonstop. It had been cute, at first, but as day three rolled by Emma was about ready to hijack the circular disk and smash it into a million pieces.
Today, though, Snow wasn't exactly singing along to the lyrics but in fact asking if she really wanted to build a snowman. Last night when they had all been sleeping a good snow fall had started and was still going on. Of course it would happen on Saturday just to avoid the hope of classes getting cancelled.
"Well do you?" Snow grinned, bumping playfully into her shoulder.
"I hate the snow." Emma grumbled back and to make her point snuggled deeper into the couch and gripped her quilt tighter. "It's cold."
Ruby snickered from her spot down the couch. "Nice observation there genius."
At the moment Aurora bounced into the room, her thin body hidden under what looked like layers nod layers of clothing. A bright lilac beanie placed on her head and the white puffed coat that gave her at least five more pounds made her look on the border of cute and ridiculous. But, considering this was Aurora, it was definitely cute. "You guys aren't ready!" She pouted.
"I never said yes!" Emma argued.
Snow gripped her hand and gave her a sharp tug. "Oh come on don't be a party pooper! The boys aren't coming over just to watch you vegetate."
Oh great. The boys were coming over. She didn't bother asking who invited them, it was usually always Snow or Aurora since they were dating two of men currently renting out the house two blocks away from them. Sometimes no one invited them over, they just showed up. Especially Victor since he was trying to woo Ruby as of late. Not that Emma minded their company so much but they'd undoubtedly would try and drag her outside just like Snow and Aurora. Literally, though, they would drag her out kicking and screaming and dump her ass right in the frigid white powder pajamas and all. Killian would probably lead the whole endeavor with utter glee.
The image of her cold and dripping in her pajamas as Killian looked on smirking promptly got her on her feet and towards the bedroom.
By the time Emma made it outside to the backyard(with just as many layers intact as Aurora and her own fluffy beanie to top it off) the party was already in full swing. With a wiry grin she noted the box of beers can placed firmly into the snow. College.
Snow was finally building her snowman, David helping her roll a big ball of it for the stomach with adoring grin on his face. Ariel (when did she wake up?) was watching the whole process with excitement and was already tugging at Eric's hand to bring him to barren spot and make their own creation.
On the porch Ruby was perched on a lawn chair, cuddling under a blanket and sipping at a steaming cup of hot chocolate. Naturally, Victor was sitting right beside her talking off her ear and making sickening bedroom eyes. Poor guy. Ruby was interested, she had admitted the fact after ingesting about six shots of tequila one night, but enjoyed the attention way too much and wanted to make him work for it. All that was missing was…
"Swan, don't you look ravishing?"
Emma playfully narrowed her eyes as Killian approached her, two beers cans in hand. "Why thank you Jones. I almost wore the pink fluffy ear muffs but I thought I'd keep those bad boys for a really special day." She accepted the can with a nod of the head.
"Pink eh? I would love to see those on you. Preferably the only thing on you if I could be so bold."
She rolled her eyes. "In your dreams."
Killian gave a wink. "Now they will be."
"Emma I'm in need of another refreshment. Be a dear?" Ruby called.
The blonde eyed her steaming cup with an odd look. "But you're drinking hot chocolate!"
"And your point is…?"
Aurora made a disgruntled sound as she came out the back door with Philip right behind her, another box of beer in his arms. "That's probably the most disgusting thing I've ever heard of Ruby. And you've made some pretty whacky concoctions before."
Ruby shrugged. "Don't knock it till you try it."
"I'd like to!" Victor piped up with a smile. Grudgingly (because Ruby hated sharing drinks with just about anyone) she gave her cup over to him and allowed him a sip. The small sacrifice was worth it when he promptly made a gagging noise and had to slap his hand to his mouth as his skin paled.
"Real manly there Vic." Killian chuckled. "Big bad chocolate almost made you puke. If I ever needed the evidence to challenge your supposed drinking tolerance…"
Victor swallowed thickly and sent him a deathly glare. "Oh shut up. All you drink is rum and beer, how do we know if you could even stand anything else?"
"That a challenge mate?"
"And what if it is? I got a big bottle of some stuff from Romania my brother brought back with your name on it under my bed, if you're man enough that is."
Emma rolled her eyes as she took a long swing of her beer. Their pissing contests were way too frequent to be endearing or even entertaining anymore. And Killian was usually always in the middle of it. That boy had the ego the size of elephant.
"Children play nice." David called as he stuck a carrot into the face of the almost done snowman. "Or you won't get to play outside anymore."
The two both quickly snapped their mouths shut and let out a grumbled "Yes Dad". Their group of friends had a lot of prideful hot heads in it, Emma included, but if anyone could keep them inc check it was David.
"I called Bae." Philip annouced, effectively changing the conversation, "He said he'd come over but you know how far the walk is from the dorms. Don't know why he didn't move in with us when he had the chance." He plopped down into a chair and cracked open a can.
"Did he mention Tink?" Aurora inquired as she dropped into his lap.
"No, I don't think so."
"Stop pushing it Aurora. You know he's not interested." Snow said. Snowman completed (and looking expectedly perfect) she walked over and wiped some powder from her pants. "You're only giving her false hope."
Suddenly, Emma felt very very uncomfortable. She could already tell where this conversation was heading and didn't like it one bit. She hastily reached for another can and cracked it open, praying silently they would just drop it. Of course she'd never had such luck.
"He's single and so is she." Aurora protested. "They live across the hall from each other and hang out all the time. I think there's a little hope."
Ruby smirked evilly as a familiar glint shown in her eye. "As long as Emma keeps leading him on there isn't."
Emma should have known better to answer her but she couldn't stop the protest that bubbled up from her throat. "I am not leading him on!" It wasn't a secret Bae had a crush on her, everyone knew. It had begun almost instantly the first time they met freshman year in a dark dingy club all the freshman hung out in. Emma had to admit it was partly her fault, she had been really drunk that night and would have hooked up just about anyone who had started dancing with her. It just so happened that guy turned out to be Bae. It quickly became their thing, getting wasted out of their minds and ending up in each other's arms, but as sophomore year rolled around Emma became very over it. It was obvious Bae was head over heels for her but never did anything about. It was almost as if he was scared to take the next step. He never asked her out or tried to talk about his feelings and Emma soon gotten tired of waiting. So she ended it, whatever it was, but Bae never quite got over her like she did him. He'd still flirt and try to rekindle the flame but Emma remained strong and never fell into old habits, no matter how hard he tried. "He knows I don't want to be with him."
"And yet he keeps trying." Ruby smirked.
Emma took a long swig of her drink. "His problem, not mine. If he'd get over me then he'd probably notice someone who actually does want him, like Tink."
"Sounding pretty high and might there princess." Killian quipped as he grabbed another refreshment. "God forbid anyone have feelings for the Ice Queen here."
Now that was not a nice thing to say. And it came out of friggin nowhere too. Killian and Bae weren't even friends, not after Killian had almost-almost-got into a sticky situation with Bae's mother Milah. She had been Killian's sociology professor and had flirted shamelessly with him. Being Killian, he flirted right back and after one fateful class meeting the lines got blurred and someone (no one knew for sure) made a move. One, she was a professor and he was a student. Two, she was married and her husband was the dean. And three, her son went to the same college and was in the same group as friends as Killian. Suffice to say, this was defiantly not okay.
Killian never really talked about it with anyone save Emma and the way he put it, no matter how much he wanted to have an affair with Milah he wasn't willing to risk his full ride scholarship if things went south (which undoubtedly would). So he ended it before it even really began (Emma never learned what happened during that meeting) but Milah had not gone quietly. The rumors ran rampant when she quit her job and left her husband that same week. It had somehow gotten out it she did it because of a student which then made everyone look to Killian but because nothing could be proved there were no harmful repercussions. Killian never even heard from Milah again since she left town to pursue some new and better life. One, unfortunately, that didn't include Bae. And just like everyone else he suspected Killian was the cause of all the mayhem but, just like everyone else, never had enough evidence to know for certain. He was just one of the reasons he hadn't moved into the house with the rest of the guys.
Ever since then the two never really got along . Which brings us back to the present situation because why the hell was Killian defending Bae?
"What the hell is your problem?" Emma didn't even bother to hide her anger. She was already annoyed she had to hang out with everyone in freezing temperature but she sure as hell didn't need to be attacked while it happened.
Killian turned his back to her and gave a gruff "Nothing" as reply.
What the hell was this about? He was completely fine with her a couple minutes before. Emma starred at his back incredulously as a awkward silence befell everyone.
Aurora, the poor little thing, looked absolutely crestfallen. "Sorry I mentioned it" She mumbled sadly.
Immediately, Philip went into protective boyfriend mode. He cradled Aurora to his chest as he gave everyone else a terrible scowl. "It's not your fault Beauty, you didn't do anything."
Ruby gave a yawn, not amused as to where the conversation had led to. "My ass is starting to freeze, let's move this party inside."
The warmer temperature did the trick.
Someone plugged their ipod in, a table was set up, a pong game began, and Ruby's shitty hot chocolate/beer concoction spread around to everyone. While Killian and Emma avoided each other (the reason still not apparent) no other issues popped up. Bae finally came by, Tink right behind him, along with two new friends who had just moved into their hallway Will and Alice, and two hours in everyone was drunk off their asses.
The fact it was five in the afternoon didn't dawn on anyone, college after all.
"Your hair is so pretty," Tink cooed as she twirled a lock of Emma's hair with her finger. "It's just so-so yellow."
Emma giggled (something she only did drunk) and swatted her away. "You're blond too if you didn't notice."
"Dirty blonde" She corrected. "You're blonde blonde."
The new girl, Alice, laughed. "Blonde blonde? Is that even a thing?"
Tink took a shot of vodka, compliments of Will, and nodded her head. "Yup, blonde blonde."
Speaking of the devil Will came over, looking to refill his now empty tumbler. "Oi! Share some of that will you?" He snatched the bottle from Tink and filled up his glass. "I didn't know you could hold your bloody liquor this well."
"She can't" Emma informed. "One more shot and she'll be face down on the floor, trust me."
He grinned. "That so? Well then here you go Tink, compliments of the house."
"Will!" Alice exclaimed as Emma burst into a fit of laughter. She liked this guy, Alice too. They were quite funny and not awkward to be hanging out with the lot of them for the first time. They weren't the easiest group to be comfortable with so early in.
Shouts from the next room drew her attention away from the other three. David and Snow looked glum as hell as Ariel and Erica where high fiving each other with victorious whoops. This was the fifth game in a row they've won at beer pong.
"NEXT!" Ariel yelled at the top of her lungs. "WHOSE NEXT BITHCES?!"
"Ariel!" Eric exclaimed in shock.
Emma let out another snort of laughter. Oh yea, she was drunk.
"I'll take a go!" Bae announced walking over. "I just need a partner."
Aurora, who had been snuggling on the couch with Philip, immediately perked up and began waving her hands madly. "Tink! Tink will play! She told me she wanted to play! Right Tink? Tink!"
Philip groaned and leant his head back on the cushion. "You're not exactly being subtle there Beauty."
Will scratched at the back of his head. "Uh, I guess I really shouldn't have given her that extra shot." He looked down guilty at a now passed out Tinkerbell. Alice growled and whacked him in the back of the head. "Oi! What was that for?"
Emma missed the impending argument when someone suddenly grabbed at her elbow and began pulling her along.
"Come on Ems, come play with me." Bae whispered close to her ear.
Not wanting to cause a scene, Emma grudgingly agreed. She stayed quiet when Bae sent her a flirt and subtly moved away when his hand found the bottom of her back and she defiantly bit her lip when he even gave her a peck on the cheek after getting four cups in a row. Just ignore it Emma. It's just one game.
As Eric called an island and landed it with ease, he leaned over the table and whispered not so subtly. "Hey Emma, are Will and Alice dating? I can't tell and I don't want to ask."
"Oh, um, you know I actually don't know." She looked back to the living room to see the two of them sitting close together, talking with small smiles on their faces. They might be but they also could just be friends as well.
"They're not." Bae informed, posing to make his next shot. "But I'd bet a hundred bucks they will be. See, Alice had this boyfriend all four years of high school. Cyrus I think his name was? Anyways, he was a transfer student from somewhere over seas and his visa ran out after graduation. She was really torn up about and apparently still is. Will went to high school with her too, they're best friends or something. Now with Cyrus out of the way, well, we'll see what happens."
Emma rose her eyebrows with interest. Poor girl, it must be rough to lose your high school sweetheart. But Bae was right, there was obviously something brewing between her and Will. It was only a matter of time.
"Now let's focus back on the game shall we?" Bae asked just as he threw his pong ball.
Said game, thank God, went by rather quickly. Embarrassingly quickly actually. Even though Emma wanted it over as soon as possible she was a little embarrassed at how bad Ariel and Eric kicked their asses. She almost demanded a rematch if Killian hadn't caught her eye.
He had been watching the whole thing, barely paying attention to whatever conversation he, David and Snow where in. Emma had noticed but had blatantly ignored him, still angry over his rudeness earlier before. The game was uncomfortable enough with Bae but now she had to endure his hot stare. What was up his ass that he was acting this way toward her?
Wanting to get away from both him and Bae, Emma held her tongue and made her way to the kitchen to get a refill. She was not near drunk enough to be cool with those two jerks floating around her.
"Another coca beer hm?"
Emma glanced over her shoulder to see David come into the room. "What did you just say?"
"Coca beer. It's was Ruby named her "masterpiece" right before she disappeared upstairs with Victor." He cringed at the thought. "I really hope they passed out. Her room is right next to Snow's."
"Nothing you haven't heard before I'm sure." Emma winked. "I really hope they start dating already. It's a bit ridiculous at this point."
David's brown furrowed before he hesitantly began, "You know, she'd probably say the same about you and Bae."
A groan escaped Emma's lips. "Not you two. You know I don't like him like that." Emma and David were quite close as they were both criminal justice majors and had almost every class together. Back in freshman year she was the one to had introduced him and Snow together and the rest, as they say, were history. They had that kind of friendship that wasn't weird or had any romantic inclination at all and one Snow never got threatened by. If there were anyone Emma could pour her heart to (or at least as much as she was capable of) it would be him and Snow. If she wasn't so mad at Killian she'd probably include him in that category too.
"I know, I know." He leant on the counter next to him. "If you recall I never liked you and him together to begin with."
"May I ask where this conversation is leading then?"
The annoyance wasn't lost on David. "I'm actually here to talk about Killian."
Oh great. Emma swallowed down a mouthful of cocoa beer. "One, why? Two, what's he have to do with Bae? And three, why?" Okay, maybe she was whining. But just a little. "You saw what a ass he was to me!"
"Yea I know but he's just…frustrated I guess you could call it."
"Frustrated about what?"
David let out a laugh. "You don't make things easy Emma, I'll give you that. Let me try to explain this the best I can. I don't think you notice the whole Bae thing as much as the rest of us do. We can see how much he likes you but you don't."
"David-"
"Just let me finish. I don't think you're in denial or being cruel, it's just that you simply don't notice. When you guys "broke up" I think you expected him to get over you like you did him and it's obvious he hasn't. On that note, you don't notice a lot when a guy is really into you."
"I know Bae likes me." Emma huffed, suddenly in a very sour mood. "I don't know how much more clear I can be that the feeling isn't mutual."
"He just doesn't like you Emma he's in love with you."
"I-what?" Her green eyes grew wide. "No he's not."
David placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "He hasn't hooked up with another girl in two years Emma. He's so into you that he doesn't even know Tink is head over heels in love with him. Simply ignoring his advances isn't going to deter him, not with how far deep he's in."
Emma couldn't think. Bae hadn't hookup with another girl since her? That…that was impossible. It had to be. Sure, she never saw him with someone else but she had assumed. It was college after all, how had he not hooked up with anyone else but her? It couldn't be true. He couldn't be in love with her…he just couldn't. "What's this have to do with Killian?"
"You have walls Emma. Among other things they don't allow you to even fathom the idea someone could love you. What you're ignoring with Bae, well, I think you're doing the same with Killian."
…..what?
"What the hell are you saying David?"
He raised his hands up in surrender. "Hey, I come in peace. I just want to see you happy Emma and you can't be that way if you don't let yourself. Killian is one of my best friends and he'd probably kill me for this but, he's really into you."
"N-No he's not. We're friends! Just friends, he doesn't-"
"He does. He's good at hiding it but I can see past the façade he puts on. I think if you looked hard enough you could see too. He got so annoyed today because I think he can sympathize with Bae, despite their differences. They're both trying to show you how they feel and you don't even notice."
Oh God her head was hurting. And it wasn't because of the booze. This was way too much to process. She didn't even want to process it. "I need air." She announced, pushing past him and aiming for the back door. "I need air."
Thank God for the booze or she'd be freezing right now. Her hasty exit made her forget a coat but Emma wasn't about to go back and find one. She didn't want to run into David again or worse, Killian or Bae.
Was she really that oblivious? Did they both care for her that much? Emma tried to think back to every interaction and conversation they shared but her mind kept getting blurry. Sure she had walls but who didn't? She was just being cautious like any other rational girl. And Killian was her friend. One of her closest friends. They were both cautious of love, tough as nails, sarcastic as hell, and –what did he say that one time? Kindred spirits?
Emma let out a sigh. Maybe she was an idiot. Sure, she thought of him that way from time to time. He was sexy as hell, what girl wouldn't? But they were friends and she didn't want to ruin it. No matter how hot or witty or charming or-"Oh stop it Emma!" She yelled out into the cold air.
"Talking to yourself love? They say it's the first sign of the mind leaving you."
Speak of the sexy devil.
Emma immediately straightened and spared him a short glance. "I thought I was alone."
"Obviously." He replied drolly coming to stand beside her. "I couldn't help but notice your rushed escape from the house. Did David scare you off with one of his sappy love stories?"
"No" She snapped and took a sip of her drink.
He smiled wirily. "Talkative I see."
"Not with the way you're acting." Emma said before she could stop herself. If what David said was true she was going the totally wrong way about it. But she couldn't stop herself. She was drunk and mad and he sure as hell was going to know about it.
"Aye, I suppose you're right." Killian ducked his head down. "I came to apologize Emma. It was bad form what I did before."
Well, at least he said sorry. That was something. But not enough, not yet. "Care to share why you were being more an ass then usual?"
"Not particularly."
"Then we have nothing left to talk about."
Killian sighed. "You don't make things easy Emma." Weird, David had just said the same thing before but he couldn't have known that. "I…I could honestly care less about Bae. You know what I think of him and that the two of you together is a terrible idea."
"You were defending him Killian."
"I-not really. I know it sounded that way. I just-God lass I don't know what to say."
Normally, Emma would have found his flustering adorable. She still kinda did but was trying to ignore it. Trying and failing. As as she couldn't stop but notice how friggin cute he was she couldn't stop David's words ringing in her ears. "We're friends, right Killian?"
His big blue eyes looked up at her. "Uh-yes?"
Oh those eyes. It was one of the first things she noticed about him when David had introduced them so long ago. "Just friends?" She asked, taking a small step forward. Did her voice sound a little breathier?
He noticed the movement and the sound of her voice suddenly looked very nervous. Another adorable feature on him. "What do you mean?"
Emma was close enough now that their chests were almost touching and the hot clouds of air they blew out of their mouths now fanned the each other's face. "You called me Ice Queen. Why?"
"I…I don't know. It was mean and uncalled for and-"
"Shh" She whispered placing a finger to his lips. Yea, she was drunk. Defiantly drunk or there's no way she'd being doing this. But that was something to worry about tomorrow, right now there was a sexy blue eyed boy who may have feelings for her to attend to. "Was it because you think I ignore you?"
Killian's shock over their close proximity and her finger on his lips washed away with confusion. "Why would you say that?" His eyebrows scrunched together in thought as he tried to reason her sudden questioning. "I never said…you…David." His eyes widened with clarity then narrowed in anger. "That traitorous bastard. I'm going to knock him on his bloody ass-"
"Killian" Emma whispered insistently, leaning up towards his face. "Is that really what you want to do right now?"
The question caused his face to soften and his eyes to dart down to her lips. "Emma, you're drunk."
Her hands slid up his chest to clasp around his neck, Killian's eyes fluttering at the action. "So is everyone else hooking up in there, I don't see them complaining."
His hands found her hips, gently squeezing them. "Everyone else in there is dating. Besides, you're angry with me."
Emma found herself letting out a breathless laugh. Feeling daring she rubbed her nose against his, relishing in the shudder that racked through his body. "I'm trying to be proactive with how I channel it."
"Emma" Killian growled and then her body was roughly pushed up against the front door, a gasp escaping her as her back collided against the wood.
Then they were kissing. Her and Killian were kissing. Oh my God we're kissing.
Emma moaned when Killian bit at her bottom and he took advantage of it to plunder her mouth with his tongue. It was hungry, desperate, and sloppy as hell but Emma wouldn't have given it up for anything in the world. She arched into his body and Killian bucked his hips against her, making it evident how much he was being affected by her.
All too quickly he pulled back, Emma whimpering at the loss of warmth. "We have to stop." He gasped.
"Why?" She breathed and began to pepper kisses down his neck. "We could go upstairs right now."
"Emma, no." Killian gripped her shoulders and pushed her back. "Not like this. I want to, God I want to so badly, but not like this."
She blinked a couple times, trying to make sense at what was happening. If this had been Bae she was sure they'd be on her bed already. "Not like what?"
As if reading her thoughts he gave her a sad looking smile. "I'm not him Emma. I want you but I want all you. That's where you and Bae failed, it was all physical but not emotional. And I don't know what exactly David said to you but…but I really care for you Emma. I want to do this right."
"You're being way too rational for me right now." Emma sighed, rubbing at her head as another headache came on. "When did this all happen Killian? When did you start feeling this way?"
"Honestly, I don't know. It's, I don't know, I think it's always been there. But then you were with Bae and all that hell with Milah happened and it just got complicated. But it's nice to know you're interested as well. More than interested by the, ahem, enthusiasm you just showed." That stupid smirk was back on his face.
Emma slapped him on the chest. "Asshole."
"Aye but you love it."
Maybe he was right. Maybe. Emma looked into his eyes, her heart pounding loudly in her ears. "Maybe a little."
The smirk turned into a genuine smile and Killian grabbed at her hand, raising it to his lips. He began to kiss at every knuckle, making her flutter every time his lips grazed her skin. "Love, tomorrow when you're sober I know you're going to be a hell of a lot more difficult to talk to. But just know that this, right here, was not because of any amount of alcohol. I meant it, everything I did and every word I said. And I really, really, hope tomorrow you'll be willing to hear me out."
God, if he kept talking to her like that she was going to pounce him. "Well I guess it all depends on how bad of a hangover this cocoa beer gives me."
He chuckled and tugged her along back inside. "That's makes two of us. Considering it was Ruby who made it, I say we're in for a hell of a morning."
And as they walked in everyone was naturally passed out, the repercussions of drinking in the wee early hours of the day having taken its toll. Aurora was the only one to not have made it to her own bedroom, her and Philip snuggled tightly together on the corner of the couch as Tinkerbell took up the majority of it. Snoring like a bear to top it off. Alice was leaning onto Will's shoulder on the loveseat and Bae was…where was Bae?
"If he's in my bed I'm going to kill him." Emma growled.
"I'll kill him for you." Killian mumbled darkly.
"He's not." A voice answered amidst the unmoving bodies. Philip shifted a little in his seat, obviously trying to get more comfortable, and cracked open an eye to look at them. "He left a little whiles ago, said he had to meet his Dad for dinner so he had to sober up a little. Now if you don't mind." His eye closed and he yawned lazily.
"Well I guess if you can't beat 'em join 'em." Emma let out her own yawn and turned toward the stairwell, making her way up without another word.
"Um, love, if you hadn't noticed there seems to be a lack of sleeping space." Killian called after her.
She stopped on the top step, tipping her head innocently at him. "Well you do live literally two minutes away and Aurora's bed is open…" His face fell and Emma couldn't bear to torture him anymore. Maybe she'd regret it in the morning but hey, that was tomorrows problem. Or whatever time she woke up later. "Oh come on. But no funny business."
The grin that broke on his face nearly split his face in half. "Wouldn't dream of it love."
As they both disappeared upstairs in a fit of soft laughter , Alice smiled and nuzzled Will's shoulder. "Told you they were into each other." She whispered into his ear.
"Alice I'm sleeping" Will groaned.
"Well maybe if you move over a little I could be doing that to."
He let out another groan but nonetheless moved over as best he could, allowing Alice a few more inches of space. She let out a content sigh and threw her legs over his lap.
Will grunted slightly but the smile on his face said otherwise. "You'll be the death of me."
"But you love it."
Yes, that he did.
Author's Note: Hey everyone! Hope you liked this! This is going to be a series of oneshots and I hope I'd made it apparent what the whole couple situation is going to be (Still up in the air of what Im going to do with Bae and Tink but we shall see!).I saw in another story someone throw Will and Alice into the mix and I couldn't stop myself, I love those two! This will be a prominently Captain Swan fic but I love writing about everyone else as well. And don't worry, Regina, Rumple, and Belle will be appearing as well as many other characters.
Here's the situation going on in this universe if there was any confusion: It's everyone's junior year of college and the boys and girls are renting houses off campus. Everyone that is except Bae (sorry, like that name more than Neal), Tinkerbell, Will, and Alice who are still in the dorms.
The girl house is: Emma, Snow, Ruby, Aurora, and Ariel
The boy house is: Killian, David, Victor, Philip, and Eric
Milah was a professor but has quit (I have no plans to include her in the future expect for some mentions but hey, never say never right?) and Rumple is the dean. And like I said more characters will be popping up, you just have to wait and see!
Also, my Emma is a a little OC but only just a little, she does have walls but is not so against the idea of love as she is in the show. Hence her being so ready to hookup with Killian (but hey, who wouldn't right?).
To my Finding The Way Home/The Enchanted Forest Family Vacation followers, I am so sorry for the delay. Ok, it's been more then a delay, more like a extended vacation. I am so sorry! My semester of college was really rough this year and I haven't had the time to do anything that wasn't work related but I promise I will be returning to these stories in due time. Fingers crossed, by this Sunday I'll have a update for the both of them. You guys are the best for sticking through this with me!
To anyone new, hello and thank you so much for reading my story. Hope you liked it and I would absolutely love some feedback/suggestions!
