A/N: I was asked to a) use the sentence "Did you just call me your boyfriend, love?" and also Captain Charming.


It had been while since Emma had engaged in a nice game of poker, but she wasn't sure if she would be allowed to encroach on her dad's guys night. But as she was coming home from the office, she saw her father, Killian, Whale and Robin gathered at the table, Whale beginning to deal out the cards.

The men casually greeted her as she removed her jacket and hung it in the closet. Well, all except Killian. He removed himself from the table to greet her properly, placing a sweet his on her lips in front of everyone. It earned catcalls from Robin and Whale, but it also made her father turn beet red.

"You ready to play or what, Jones?" David asked.

"Of course, your majesty. I didn't think you would be so eager to lose your money, though."

"We shall see…"

Curiosity got the best of her as she maneuvered her way over to the Killian's chair and took a look at his hand. From the looks of it, they were playing Texas Hold 'Em, which meant that each of the guys held five cards. They were only allowed to discard up to four cards once; after that, they cards they had they were stuck with, and the person with the best hand won.

Glancing over his shoulder, she noticed he already had a pair of 8′s, so he knew he wouldn't get rid of those. He also held the Queen of Hearts, the 3 of diamonds and the 5 of diamonds. She knew which cards he would get rid of, that's for sure.

As he took the 3 and the 5 and asked for two more cards, Robin looked up at her and said, "Emma, you thinking of giving Killian clues about our cards? Not very noble of you."

"Very, funny Robin. But I'll have you know that my boyfriend is much too honorable to resort to cheating."

She stilled. She had never actually referred to him as hers before…and he noticed. Turning around in his seat, he smiled up at her. "Did you just call me your boyfriend, love?"

Blushing, she responded, "Why, yes, I suppose I did."

"Glad to hear it," he spoke as he took her hand in his and placed as light kiss on the top of her hand.

Obviously getting a little impatient, David yelled, "Can we please get on with the game, Killian?"

"Apologies, Dave."

It was no surprise that Killian won that hand.
