A/N - This is a short one shot of how I think their first kiss will go. I posted it on Tumblr and got a good reaction, so I thought I would share it on here for my followers. Or anyone else that would like to read it. =D
The joy that washed through her when she realized that they were actually one step closer to finding Henry, that it was real and tangible, made her act in a way that she would normally hold herself back from. But not now, not today, she had held herself back long enough. She watched for a moment as her parents, Regina, and Tinker belle all settled around the fire all of them chatting happily among themselves, then she followed Hook into the forest.
She walked lightly, keeping her footsteps silent. He had gone to find some firewood; at least that is what he said he was doing. But she thought it was more than that, he was afraid, afraid that when this was over and Henry was safe there would be no use for him anymore. But he was completely wrong, and she was going to show him, because actions spoke louder between them than any words ever could.
She came around a bend in the path and there he was. His back was against the tree and he was fingering his hook in contemplation. The thoughts racing behind his eyes made her heart ache for him. She wasn't the only one that had been abandoned in her life, she was sure he knew the feelings all too well.
"Swan." He acknowledged her when he caught sight of her. One of his gentle smiles, the ones he only gave her, graced his mouth. She smiled in return and stepped closer to him. Pushing himself from the tree he was so close she was breathing in the scent of him.
"I thought you were gathering firewood." She breathed, her voice came out softer than she expected, and then her lips were on his. Her tongue caressed his mouth begging for entrance, he relented as his shock dissolved and his hand was in her hair and touching her face, cradling her like she was precious. Running her hands up and around his neck she held him to her, thanking him with her actions. Telling him he had a home with her when everything was said and done.
All too quickly she was pulling back and resting her forehead to his, their labored breathing mixing together. She kept her eyes shut as a tear slipped out unbidden at the emotions he unlocked within her. Trying to calm her breathing she grasped the lapels of his coat, holding him to her and steadying herself at the same time. Slowly she opened her eyes and drew back. She watched as he took a deep breath and slowly licked his lips before he opened his eyes.
"About bloody time love." He whispered before he dipped his head to hers once more.
