Love isn't always easy
Mary Margaret and David Nolan
Hey guys! This is my first time ever writing fan fiction so I'm pretty excited about this story. I absolutely had to write a fan fic for my two favorite characters on my favorite TV show. I love Snow White and Prince Charming ever since the first episode and haven't been able to stop thinking about them since. Mary and David's story is obviously much harder to watch but I have faith that they'll be together soon. I felt the need to write this because after episode 13, I was so sad for the both of them. They belong together! This story takes place after episode 7. Anyway, enjoy and please review!
She couldn't get him out of her head. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't stop thinking about him. Even as she walked away from the toll bridge, clutching her cardigan tighter around her, she wanted more then anything to rush back into his arms. She would stay strong, she thought, as his words rang in her head. With that behind her, a new day dawned and Mary Margaret pushed herself out of bed and hastily got ready. She needed to talk to Emma; after all they had both been through. Emma was still taking Graham's death to heart and Mary heard her sometimes cry out in the night. It broke her heart that her friend would never get to see him again. That makes two of us, she thought sadly.
As Mary made her way to the kitchen, she put on a smile. A smile that said to Emma, hopefully, that Mary was doing fine. Emma looked disheveled as she dropped her spoon into her cereal bowl. Her long blonde hair was tangled and her clothes pulled on quickly. Mary gaped at the sight of her friend looking so sad but quickly closed her mouth. "Hey," Emma muttered staring into her bowl. Mary's hand instinctively reached across the counter for her friend's, and she squeezed it. Emma looked up at Mary with a small smile playing on her lips.
"How are you doing?" Emma asked Mary, and Mary's smile faltered for the briefest of moments. There was no way to tell her friend that she couldn't stop thinking about David. His cool blue eyes, his blonde hair, his laugh played through her mind on a constant loop.
"Fine, I'm just fine." Mary mumbled and in turn, took a sudden fascination with Emma's bowl. Emma took Mary's hand and squeezed, a small reassurance for her friend that she took great comfort in.
The next few days seemed to pass by in a blur. For Mary, there was the constant thought of David plaguing her mind. For Emma, it was the thought of Graham and how to do Regina in. She needed to teach that woman some manners. But that hadn't stopped Emma from saving Regina from the fire at town hall. Emma's razor sharp instincts had kicked in as she looked at Regina's horrified face. Emma quickly lifted Regina to safety and with that, set into motion her bid to become sheriff.
Mary welcomed this idea, very proud at her friend for overcoming adversity. Mary thought of Emma happily as she stapled posters to the bulletin board outside of the hall. The board looking a little full and Mary stepped to the other side to assess how much she could put up. And with that, practically ran into the one person she had been trying to stay away from, David.
Still, she couldn't pass up on this opportunity to talk to him. She spoke up quickly: "David, hi!" She silently kicked herself for sounding so happy to see him. Of course she wanted to tell him that she still felt something, though she was not quite sure what it was.
David looked over as Mary spoke to him. She looked beautiful although she was just wearing some ordinary clothes. David smiled widely at her and silently kicked himself. He couldn't let his feelings for Mary show through. He felt deep down for some reason that Mary and him were meant to be together, but that didn't stop his mind from taking over and shoving the 'right' answer in front of his face, Kathryn.
"Mary Margaret" he answered, his voice coming out sounding happier then he would have liked it to. He smiled at her as she gestured to the posters she was putting up, "I was just," She started unable to find the words.
"Oh right," he replied continuing with his posters although unable to take his eyes off her.
"So, how are things?" Mary asked, hoping not to hear any news about his beloved Kathryn.
"Fine, oh I got a job, working at the animal shelter." He replied, happy to be able to continue the conversation.
"Really." Mary replied and tried to brush it off nonchalantly. Inside she was bursting at this information. Not only was he handsome, sweet and funny but also he helped the community? It was about then that Mary truly came to grips with the fact that she would probably never forget David Nolan.
They continued to smile at each other, happy to be in each other's company. Mary continued to staple as she gestured to the posters, "Oh, Sidney huh?" Mary said, unable to keep the words from spilling out of her mouth. She wanted her friend Emma to win, after everything she had been through. And now David was trying to march all over that hope of Emma getting the position she deserved.
"Yeah, my wife's friend's with the mayor so." David trailed off. The last thing he wanted to do was mention Kathryn to Mary Margaret. He saw her face fall quickly as she tried to regain her composure. He still could not understand why he had chosen Kathryn over Mary, but his memories seemed to win over his heart every time.
"Oh, and how is Kathryn?" Mary asked sadly. The conversation had taken the sad route she had expected it to go.
"Good, she's meeting me here later." David answered and then shut his mouth immediately. Why did he keep hurting Mary? He could see that these words were the final blow to her as she began stapling the posters harder, "That's wonderful" Mary replied. She was so angry that she wished the poster were something else. But Mary couldn't allow herself to think that way as she continued to attempt to repress her feelings.
Her stapling amused him but also left him equally puzzled, was she also constantly thinking about him the way he thought about her? He brushed off these thoughts as he heard her say: "Well, I'm all out of posters. I'm gonna go see if they have more."
Mary quickly hurried away clutching her stapler sadly. She angrily brushed away tears at not having talked to him more.
David watched Mary go sadly. He opened his mouth to say something, anything, but he stopped himself. Hadn't he already done enough? He looked at his posters and fighting the urge to rip them all off the board, walked away from City Hall. And even further away from his soul mate.
Hope you guys liked it, and I would love feedback if you could give it to me. Hope everyone likes the new episode tonight!
