Small thing inspired by a gif on Tumblr and a lot of Jones brothers feels.
Warning: Spoilers for 3x05 Good Form
Dropping Liam's tag for Charming to find triggers a dull ache in Killian's chest.
For a moment, his fingers clench tighter around the worn leather, refusing his commands to release.
He's never been very good at letting go.
"Jones. You know him?"
Better than anyone Killian wants to respond. "Aye. He was my captain, and my brother."
When the spring successfully heals Charming, Killian can't stop his smile.
"Why help me when there's nothing in it for you?"
"I didn't do it for you mate." For Emma, Killian thinks. And for myself.
Somehow, he thinks Liam would be smiling too.
