James grimaced at the shrillness of the voice, and turned to face her,
"Yes Cruella?" The woman looked back and forth between her lover and the Evil Queen, speechless, she stormed towards the two. Regina slowly climbing out of her shock, stood from the table. Cruella moved faster than the others had anticipated and was already standing before Regina.
"You whore!" Regina barely had time to react to the insult when a red-hot pain seared through her cheek, she lifted her hand to cover the now burning flesh. James stood between them, pushing Cruella back, causing her to stumble over her impractical heels. He turned to Regina, analysing her cheek and seeing the cut under her eye that one of Cruella's many rings must have caused.
"I'm fine." She muttered quietly enough so only he could hear. James turned towards Cruella,
"You know what James?! It seems like you're angry at me. That's ridiculous. You're the one cheating on me!"
"Cruella! We were never together!" Cruella, though thick skinned and a villain, was clearly upset by James's outburst and hurried from the building in a swirl of fur. James turned to face Regina to examine the injury under her eye. He lifted his hand to cup her cheek, Regina looked into his eyes, getting lost in the depths of icy blue she found there. She grabbed his hand and pulled him behind her. James, confused to say the least, didn't question the queen as she dragged him from the station.
James followed behind the brunette obediently until they came to a halt outside Underbrooke's version of Granny's.
"What are we doing here?" James furrowed his eyebrows and looked to Regina, confused by her actions. Regina turned abruptly to face him,
"You're going to kiss and make up with your twin, help us find Hook so we can get the hell out of here."
"Pun intended?" Regina lifted a hand and smacked him over the shoulder, "Ow." She rolled her eyes at the man now rubbing his shoulder with a pout on his lips. She turned to face the building and glanced through the window into the diner, she spotted her not-so-soulmate and sighed,
"Shit, I forgot about Robin."
"Your boyfriend?"
"Kind of." James frowned at her, confused. Regina sighed again and grimaced,
"Yeah, a fairy poured some glitter on me and told me he was my soul-mate." James's frown deepened as he listened to the outlandish tale.
"You're basing your life on the powers of pixie dust? Regina, I thought you would know better." Regina rolled her eyes,
"I do, it was a moment of weakness. Now I don't know how to get rid of him. He follows me around like a lost puppy and reminds me constantly that we're 'soulmates'." James chuckled and marched to the door of the diner, pulling it open and holding it, he lifted an arm gesturing for her to enter before him. She moved towards him and made her way up the steps stopping in front of him, reaching up and pecking him on the cheek,
"Thanks." She waltzed in leaving him standing in the door, he lifted his hand to his cheek. They'd made out in the sheriff's station but that kiss on the cheek had made James feel more alive than he had felt in years. He smiled and followed her inside.
