A/N: I'm re-watching season 1 with my sister and I keep getting SwanQueen ideas. Not sure if that is a good or bad thing… :/ Please enjoy and reviews are always welcome!
The sheriff banged on the mayor's front door.
"Regina!" Emma shouted but clearly Regina couldn't hear her over the loud music blasting from inside. Emma would've called out for Henry but she knew that he had an appointment with Dr Hopper. 'I love my job, I love my job, I love my job.' Emma kept telling herself as she knocked on the door a few more times. Emma was halfway down the path, heading towards the back of the house when the front door swung open.
"Sheriff Swan!" Regina called out cheerfully. "What can I do for you?" she asked, striding towards her with a half empty glass of wine.
"There has been a noise complaint from your neighbour," she explained.
"Which one?" Regina asked, turning to either side. "Henry and yourself are under the illusion that I am The Evil Queen. Maybe I should turn them into a frog!" she joked.
"I think you've had enough to drink," Emma said, trying to grab the glass from her. It was obvious that Regina was clearly drunk. As for the reason why Regina had been drinking, Emma still had to figure out.
"No!" Regina snapped, drawing the glass towards her chest, protectively.
"Madam Mayor," Emma called, following Regina into her house. As soon as Emma entered, she covered her ears from the music blaring from the speakers. Regina rolled her eyes and went to turn off the music. A few minutes later she returned where she had left Emma waiting in the entrance.
"Why won't anyone love me?" Regina asked, staring at her reflection in the mirror. She threw the glass against the wall, smashing both the mirror and wine glass. Emma stumbled back in shock at the sudden outburst. "Why?" Regina screamed at Emma. She stared at the mayor, not quite sure what to say or how to react. Regina fell to the floor in a heap and sobbed into her hands. Emma took a tentative step forward and put an arm around Regina's shoulder.
"There there," Emma whispered, trying to comfort her.
"Really, Miss Swan," Regina laughed, lifting her head.
"You'll feel better after a shower," Emma said, pulling Regina to her feet. The mayor's eyebrows lifted and a small smile appeared on her lips. "What… no!" Emma shrieked. She helped Regina up the stairs and down the hall. Emma stopped at the bathroom door and looked over at Regina. "I'm, ah, going to make a cup of coffee," she said, seeing Regina already discarding items of clothing.
"Whatever," Regina waved, slamming the door behind her.
"You're welcome," Emma scoffed quietly as she back downstairs to the kitchen. After locating a mug in one of the cupboards, Emma quickly made her coffee. She leaned against the island bench, sipping on her coffee whilst listening for the running water of the shower to stop. Several minutes later, she heard the water stop and footsteps walking around upstairs. Slowly making her way back up to the second story, she called out for Regina.
"In here," came a faint reply from a room past the bathroom.
"What's going on, Regina?" Emma asked, standing at the door way. She was lying face down in bed with a white tank top visible and the rest of her body covered by the sheets.
"Can you just shut up, my head is splitting." She groaned.
"Ok. Well you'll be alright from now, right?" Emma queried, turning to leave.
"Wait!" Regina yelled, sitting up in bed. "Can you stay a while?" she asked softly. Emma nodded her head and moved into the room. She walked over and placed the mug down on the bed side table. She looked around for a chair but didn't find any. "I won't bite," Regina teased, moving over to make space on the king side bed. Emma crawled onto the bed and leaned against the bed head. They stared at each other for several awkward minutes before Regina reached up and kissed Emma right on the lips. Emma jumped apart hearing the front door open and close. Scrambling to her feet, she rushed down the stairs and froze seeing Henry dump his backpack on the floor.
"Henry," Emma muttered, beginning to freak out.
"Emma, what are you doing here?" Henry asked just as shock as she was.
"Ah," Emma stuttered, trying to think of a lie. "Cya 'round kid." She finally said and ran out of the house.
