You look so beautiful in this light
Your silhouette over me
The way it brings out the blue in your eyes
Is the Tenerife Sea

Emma lay on the deck of the Jolly Roger sunbathing whilst Killian was fixing a part of his ship. She'd taken lunch early to get away from the station, and all the stress that the morning had already brought her in the three hours she'd been there. She'd text Killian asking him where he was, making her way towards to docks before his reply as she just knew he'd be there. This was where he came to clear his head, and now thinking back on it, it'd become her place too.
Killian had greeted her and brought up pillows and blankets from below deck and laid them out for her, taking her jacket and hanging it below deck on the coat rack next to his old Pirate garb.
He found Emma relaxing in the sun as he made his way above deck again, and couldn't help but feel pride in the fact that she could find peace on board his ship, just as he does.
He was loathe to disturb her, however he was slightly fearful that she'd burn in the sun.
Killian made his way over slowly until his shadow covered her.
"Darling, you should really put some sun cream on… I don't want you to burn out here." he held the bottle out towards her and gave her a disapproving look as she lifted her sunglasses on top of her head and squinted up at him.
Emma watched as Killian's piercing blue eyes so full of concern and love for her stared back at her, the worry in his brow making her heart skip.
She started giggling and Killian tilted his head in confusion.
"I don't think you'll find it funny when you're all sore tomorrow, Swan." he said defensively, getting to his knees and urging the bottle closer to her, waving it in front of her.
Emma grabbed the bottle and placed it beside her, before reaching up and moving his hair out of his eyes.
Killian absentmindedly leant into her palm and gazed at her.
The look he gave her caused her stomach to flip the way it always did when he looked at her this way.
"Your eyes are so damn blue." Emma mumbled, her other hand reaching up to grab onto his collar.
"Are you alright, Love?" Killian asked, a smirk forming on his lips.
"Yes, why?" she scoffed, looking at him confused.
"Because if you look at me any harder, you're going to drill a hole in my head." Killian quoted her, his voice gravelly as he leaned in to kiss her chastely.
Emma chased his lips as he pulled back and winked at her cheekily, before getting up and going back to repairing his ship.
Emma's alarm went off then, signalling that her lunch was over and she groaned loudly before getting up.
"Not fair!" Emma pouted as she stood opposite him.
Killian shook his head, laughing at her dramatics and wrapped his arms around her. "Come now, Swan. This town isn't anything without it's Saviour, now is it?" he winked and placed a kiss on her temple, squeezing his arms around her gently as she hid her face in his neck.
"Alright, alright." she huffed and rolled her eyes before stretching up on tiptoes to kiss him.
"I love you." she whispered against his lips.
"And I you." he grinned, kissing her once more before sending her back to the station.
Later that night when Emma was in the shower, her phone received a text message. Killian saw that it was from her mother, that wasn't very surprising, but what did take him by surprise was her phone's lock screen. It was a picture of him looking out onto the waves on the Jolly Roger, his eyes a mesmerising shade of blue.
Emma entered the room and found him looking at her phone screen.
"Find something interesting, Captain?" she asked climbing brushing her hair in the mirror.
"The picture on your talking phone is of me?" he looked at her questioningly.
Emma couldn't help but giggle at the adorable crease in his brow from his confusion. She put the hairbrush away and made her way over to him.
Killian was sat with his back leaning against the headboard. Emma took her phone from him, and tossed it onto the other side of the bed, causing it to bounce and land on the floor.
She climbed onto his lap, straddling him and raked her fingers through his hair, resting her forehead on his.
Killian closed his eyes and wound his arms around her waist, sighing contently with having her in his arms.
"You really have no idea just how blue your eyes are do you?" she asked after a moment and Killian smiled rolling his eyes.
"I suppose you must really like them then?" he asked, his brow raising.
"Mhm" Emma hummed, turning out the beside lamp before wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him senseless.
