A/N: Unbetaed. The characters belong to ABC. Published at the insistence of paalme, who urged me to write it when the plot bunny came.
Although she would never admit it – under pain of death – Emma Swan was a hopeless romantic at heart. She was a sucker for romantic comedies, the sappier the better. She just loved seeing the magic happen, watching two people end up together despite all the obstacles in front of them. What she wasn't sure about was how this closely guarded secret was discovered, because otherwise there was no way Killian would be standing outside her window, balancing an old-fashioned boom box between his hand and his hook, grinning like a loon. Not to mention lip-synching with Hooked on a Feeling. Of all the cheesy love songs he could have played, of course he picked the one song that was an inside joke and yet absolutely truthful at the same time. Emma couldn't help the wide grin that spilled over her face as she leaned out her window to better see the incredibly adorable view. No, Emma wasn't exactly sure how her deep secret had been revealed – but if this was the result, well. She could definitely learn to live with it.
