Author's Note: First little fic in this fandom and I don't even know what...? *shakes head* Enjoy?
Disclaimer: None of this is mine. *sighs in relief*
Emma's lower lip quivers, and she eyes the woman sitting across from her with mossy green eyes full of pleading.
"Do I have to?" the blonde whines. Her eyes lower to the surface of the table before her, and she cannot stop the wince at the horrible sight. She gives a petulant huff.
Regina stares at her, completely Unimpressed.
"It is not the end of the world," the former queen insists, leaning back onto the kitchen chair. She crosses her arms over her chest and raises an eyebrow.
"B-but..." Emma tries.
Why is Regina making her do this? After all they have been through, and how incredibly close they have become... For Regina to turn around and suddenly stab her in the back like this, Emma feels utterly betrayed.
Regina sighs and wipes her face with the palm of her hand.
"The sooner you finish, the sooner you can have dessert," she reminds Emma. The blonde woman's eyes dart over to the delicious looking chocolate cake resting on the kitchen counter top, then she reluctantly returns her gaze to her own plate.
Feeling dread curling in the pit of her stomach, Emma grabs her fork. She stabs the piece of broccoli and lifts it to her mouth.
Regina rolls her eyes at the way Emma's hand trembles.
Once the vegetable goes into her mouth, Emma cringes and begins to chew. Regina, perhaps to show her support for Emma's suffering, reaches out to soothingly pet the blonde's other hand.
Emma manages to choke back a sob.
END.
