prompt: Never Have I Ever
prompted by: arianakristine
Apparently, Granny's has a tradition of throwing a holiday party the Friday before Christmas (unless that Friday happens to be Christmas Eve, in which case the party is on Thursday, but since it's not this year, that's not a problem), which is where Emma Swan finds herself, sitting on Graham's lap as Ruby pours everyone a glass of their drink of choice. It's almost midnight and any kids who were there were taken home hours ago. Henry hadn't even been able to come, which had upset Emma at first, but she knew that there were some of Regina's rules she had to respect.
Almost everyone has gone, actually, and it's just herself, Graham, Ruby, Doctor Whale (does he even have a first name?), Mary Margaret, and the new guy in town, who hasn't even told anyone his name yet, who are left, sitting in a circle on the diner floor.
"I think… Mary Margaret should start," Ruby grins.
"Me?" the schoolteacher asks, holding her glass of red wine awkwardly.
"Yes, you," Ruby laughs, "Get some of the more innocent stuff out of the way first."
"Um… Never have I ever… Been kissed under the mistletoe," Mary Margaret blushes.
The six of them continue this game for a while, laughing and drinking and sharing their secrets. Finally, around 1, Granny comes back into the diner and kicks them all out, with a few of Storybrooke's taxis waiting to drive them wherever they need to get to.
Emma goes home with Graham, and as she is falling asleep, curled into his chest, she thinks she hears him say
"Never have I ever loved anyone as much as I love you."
