Regina opened her eyes for a bit, a Week had passed since they had remember about the other realms and their previous lives. She felt his warm body behind hers, his hand was resting on her waist and after a moment the sound of her giggles filled the room. Robin pulled her closer and kissed her neck with his arm around her. They had been so happy during that week, after the kiss the memories started to come back and even if they didn't remember everything, the most important thing was that they were together again. Regina's happiness was closer than ever, but she couldn't stop thinking about the cause of them being apart, she tried to remember how she had lost Robin, but she just couldn't.
Their days were filled by working at the bar, eating together and spending hot nights in their bed. Regina had gotten used to her new name and she had asked Robin to called her "Roni", she hadn't introduced Robin to her friends yet and the fact that he should be a stranger to her didn't help either.
"What's the plan for today?" he asked, hugging her tightly.
"Well, breakfast, work and later…" she smiled, biting her lower lip.
"I could have some ideas for 'later'..." he said, rolling her so he could see her face.
"You mean cleaning?" she teased.
"No." he said, kissing her neck.
"Robin…" she moaned, "we should…"
Robin tonge started to suck on her neck, Regina closed her eyes and bit her lip even more, she felt his hand under her shirt caressing and squeezing her naked breast. Robin's lips parted from her neck just to start sucking on her other breast, he took her nipple into his mouth and bit it gently making Regina moan even louder. His hot lips were tracing a path to her belly and later to her abdomen, Regina's back arched when he touched her clit with his tongue. Robin lifted his sight to see Regina's face, her eyes were closed and he could swear she liked everything he did to her.
"I can stop here…" he teased.
"You better not!" she said with a raspy voice.
Robin smiled a bit and after a moment his tongue came back to where he had started, he swirled it inside of her and after he licked her folds like ice cream he felt Regina shiver under his touch, her legs trembled and for a second he didn't know what had happened.
Regina never felt better, he was amazing and his skills took her to the edge. Suddenly her eyes opened wildly, she looked at the white ceiling above her head, the flashbacks of him laying on her laps make her body frozen. She felt so much pain in her heart and body that for a moment she thought she wad in someone else's body. Her body shivered even more and after a moment she finally could breathe again, she closed her eyes shut and after a while she finally spoke.
"Stop!" she shouted with pain written all over her face.
"Regina?" he asked surprised, "what happened?"
"Just stop." she said, leaving the bed and closing the bathroom's door behind her.
She was waiting for him to leave their apartment, Regina's head was filled with the pictures of Robin, Robin and her looking at his death. She knew that her happy ending couldn't be true, that something or someone would destroy it. The flashbacks of her holding his cold body on her laps hunted her for the whole day. She couldn't face him and she couldn't tell him what happened in the morning. She couldn't even look at him in the eye without crying.
"Hey Roni!" Rogers entered the bar.
"Hi! How is catching bad guys going detective?" she asked.
"Good. I saw you have a new coworker." he said, nodding at Robin, "should I check him?"
"No. It won't be necessary."
"You sure?"
"Yes, but thank you for having my back."
"Always," he smiled, "you're my favorite bartender."
"That's the compliment!" she laugh.
Robin was composing old boxes under the wall when he heard Regina's laugh. He took a step towards the place and looked at her smiling to the guy in front of her. He didn't know why, but he immediately felt jealousy grow inside of him. His eyes became bigger, he clenched his hands into fists and imagined his fist landing on the guy's nose. He took a step forward, after what happened in the morning he could swear Regina was avoiding him and he didn't want to make it any worse.
"Will we see each other at the bonfire?" Rogers asked Roni.
"The bonfire?" she asked.
"Yeah, Henry and Jacinda wanted to organize some fun stuff during the holidays for Lucy."
"In this case… sure, I'll be there."
"Good." he said, heading to the door, "uhm, maybe you'll take your friend with you?"
"Maybe I will." she answered quickly.
Robin left work earlier that day, he was jealous, furious and mad at once and he couldn't focus on anything. He got back to Regina's house and found a bottle with some brown liquid, he poured some into the glass and drank it all at once. The hot liquid spilled into his mouth and throat. He never felt that way before, he never thought that his love for Regina could be any more stronger, but it was and it drove him crazy.
At once the door opened, she stood there for a little while before she entered the room, Regina looked at him, sitting on the sofa with some whiskey in his hands. Regina was surprised that Robin drank alcohol, but she would do anything to do the same.
"Goodnight." she said, trying to hide in the bedroom.
At once Robin stood up, he took a step towards her, he looked straight into her eyes and grabbed her by her arms. He didn't want to hurt her, he just wanted to know what happened between them at the morning and what was going on between her and that guy from the bar.
"You have to explain it to me Regina!" he shouted, "what happened?!"
"YOU DIED!" she shouted, with tears filling her eyes, "you died." she whispered.
"What are you talking about? I'm here."
"Now yes, but the other time… you wanted to protect me, you gave me your life!" she cried.
"Regina." he hold her tight, "I would do it again and again. They will come back to us, the flashbacks, but you have to tell me what's going on. I was seriously scared this the morning, I thought I had hurt you or I had done something wrong and later when I saw you with that guy...Regina, I was jealous. I have never been jealous in my whole life!" he smiled, looking into her eyes.
"Robin," she whispered, "I don't want to lose you again."
"I'm not going anywhere. We can write our story differently this time." he rubbed his nose against hers.
"Promise?" she asked.
"Promise." she answered, "but I swear to God, if that guy flirts with you again…"
"He won't. Would you like to go with me? They are organizing a bonfire."
"I would love that, but I have to do something first."
Robin cupped her face with his hands, he put a small kiss on her nose and after a moment his lips were crushing against hers. He entered her mouth with his tongue, he rubbed it gently and after a while his lips were sucking on Regina's lower lip. When he pulled them apart, when they both needed some air, he finally spoke.
"Now, we can go." he smiled.
The evening was warm so Regina and Robin decided to walk to the place where the bonfire had already started, the orange-red flames could be send by far. Regina looked at her friends, they were sitting around the flames and looked straight into the fire. Henry and Jacinda were showing something to Lucy and Alice and Rogers were talking, most of it was Alice through. When they were closer, Regina grabbed Robin's hand, they had talked everything through and she wasn't as afraid as before.
"Hi!" she said, smiling to her friends, "this is Robin… my boyfriend." she said quickly.
"Your…" Henry started.
"You met… yesterday." Rogers added.
"We knew each other from… old times." Robin said, looking at Regina's face lit by the fire.
"We should do the 'if you hurt her, we'll kill you' talk, don't you think, Rogers?" Henry said with a smile.
"We will save it for the next time. Sit with us." he answered.
Robin helped Regina sit on the sand and sat behind her, so she could lean on him, he was looking at her talking with her friends. He admired her beauty as the bonfire lit her face again. After a moment he looked at the guy she was talking at the bar, he was watching him, but now he felt that he accepted him more than when he had showed up in Regina's life. Regina was wearing a pair of jeans and a thin shirt and after a moment he felt her shivering.
"Are you cold?" he asked, kissing her hair.
"No." she answered, looking into his eyes, "I have all I need."
Robin pulled her closer to his warm body, but when he felt her shiver again, he took off his jacket and wrapped it around her. Regina felt the warmth and after a moment she kissed him passionately. He closed his eyes for a bit to feel her sweet taste on his tongue. After a moment, as their lips parted, Regina finally spoke.
"I'm so happy that it was you who stole my heart, Robin." she whispered.
"I can't steal what was given to me, Regina." he answered, kissing her sweet lips again.
