Somebody asked for Captain Swan TLK


Since Ariel left town to be reunited with her True Love, prince Eric, Killian hasn't been the same. Emma was so used to have the reformed pirate by her side at any moment, when they gathered at the loft to talk about new strategies to get back at Zelena, when they went to Granny's, he followed her and her family in everything that they did. He now avoided her as much as possible, he came for the meetings but never stayed afterwards, like he used to. She missed his presence and she didn't even understand why he became distant all of sudden. Did she do something to make him act this way? Had he grown tired of her, of waiting for her even if he promised that he would win her heart? And it hurt so badly to think that he may not have those feelings for her anymore.

Every time she saw him, she went to him, and he always found an excuse to leave, and every time it felt like he was stabbing her heart repeatedly. But this time she couldn't let go, let him walk away from her like so many of them did in her past. Because she was now ready to let go of the past and started to look forward expecting Killian to be part of her future since he was so much a part of her present, so she isn't going to let him walk away from her without a fight. She hated to admit it, but she needed him in her life like the air that she breathes, she needed his support, his unwavering belief that he had in her, the way he accepted all of her, the mother, the saviour and simply her. And as much as it was hard for her to admit, she loved him too.

She wasn't the only one that missed him and that wondered about his behaviour, Henry kept asking her where was Killian, and when will he get the chance to get to hang out with him again. He was so fond of the pirate, that Emma felt more betrayed now that Killian wasn't as much present because it didn't only affected her but her son too.

A week passed and Emma decided that it was enough and went to seek him at the docks. Even tough his ship didn't appear in Storybrook after the new curse was cast, she knew that he went there to seek comfort and to think. She saw from afar that he was looking over the water and she walked the path that led to him. He must have heard her footsteps because before she could reach him, he shifted his body towards her.

"To what do I owe the pleasure?" asked Killian, the phrase so familiar, but this time the flirt in his voice completely gone.

"What's wrong?" Emma cutting directly to the chase. She was done with his conduct and needed answers. She could see Killian shifting uncomfortably.

"I don't know what you mean love. Everything is fine."

"Cut the crap. I know something's wrong, you haven't been the same since Ariel left. There's something that you're not telling me."

Killian flinched at the mention of Ariel's name. Emma now knew that it had something to do with the redheaded mermaid.

"It's about Ariel isn't it?" asked Emma while stepping forward, slowly invading Killian's personal space. "What happened?"

"Nothing happened love." He answered as he stepped backwards, he was pulling away again.

"You're lying. Please tell me what's wrong. You haven't been yourself for the past week, and it hurts because I miss you, I need you Killian. Please." She begged as tears started to fill her eyes.

Killian's gaze locked with hers. He was just as wrecked at she was, and she could see the torment in his eyes, as he was fighting with himself on whether he should confess or not.

"Emma, don't think that me avoiding you is because I don't want you anymore, because I do, I always will. But I'm doing this to protect your parents, your boy and most importantly, you. Don't ask me why, love. I beg of you."

"No, Neal left me to protect me, and I ended up losing him and I can't lose you too. I won't let someone take that decision without me knowing why."

Seeing that she wasn't going to give up without a fight, Killian's shoulder slumped in surrender.

"I've been cursed by Zelena." He finally admitted.

"What? What do you mean you have been curse? What did she do to you?" Emma inquired with a confuse look.

"She wanted me to corrupt my love for you, she pretended to be Ariel and got me to swear on the woman that I love. When I did she cast a curse on my lips. If my lips touch yours, it will take all of your magic away." He explained with sad eyes, ashamed of himself.

"You swore on me." It wasn't really a question, more of the acknowledgment of Killian's love for her. She suspected that he loved her, him trying to help her gain her memories again with True Love Kiss. That's it.

She grabbed Killian by the lapel of his jacket, just like in Neverland, and pulled him forward so she could press her lips against his. She could feel his body stiffed and before he could put some distance between them, there was a burst of bright light that originated from where their lips were joined. Killian leaned his head back, with a panicked look in his eyes.

"Bloody hell! Why did you do that? Your magic?"

Emma couldn't stop the chuckle that left her mouth. "Don't worry, I still got my magic."

"Are you sure? What was that light then?" Inquired the pirate.

"I thought you knew." She said with a smirk. "True Love Kiss can break any curse, even the one on your lips."

"I can't be, I tried that back in New York, it didn't work." He replied completely confused. Emma's hands were still grabbing the lapels of his leather jacket, she pulled him close to her, so close that there was no space left between them. She tilted her head up, her lips barely brushing his.

"It didn't work because I couldn't remember you. But now I do…" she brushed her nose against his, she felt his body relax suddenly and felt his hand and his hook on her waist. "… and I remember everything that you did for me, for my family."

She pressed her lips on his once more, and this time he responded with an equal fervour. After awhile their lips detached so that they could gasp for air.

"Gods Emma, I love you so much." Whispered Killian as he trailed his lips to pepper her neck with light kisses.

"I love you too."
