When Emma woke up the next morning she decided that she wasn't finished with sleeping and took the blanket while rolling to her other side, the first strange thing she noticed was a smell she usually never smelled in the morning- the scent of flowers mixed with the sweetness of fruit, and the second thing she noticed was something touching her nose.
She opened her eyes and realized where she was, in Regina's bed less than inches away of her face, their noses touching.
Remembering the promise she made last night that she would stay on her side of the bed made her back off in a split second even though the brunette was still peacefully sleeping and not aware of the whole scene.
Emma got out of bed stared at her for a moment, she had to admit that Regina looked quite endearing laying there, curled up wearing silk pajamas with pouty lips. She also noticed how petite the former queen actually was, because Emma accidently stole the blankets while sleeping exposing her body.
The savior chuckled and put the blanket back, if only Regina knew that she didn't stay on her side of the bed and on top of that stole her blankets it might be better for her safety not to tell then she got out of the bedroom and went downstairs to make herself a cup of coffee.
When she sat down at the kitchen table with her coffee it finally hit her again that she was stuck in this house for a while so she couldn't get killed but when she thought of the things Regina said last night and took a sip of her warm beverage she calmed down and relaxed a little in the chair. Regina had been very kind last night and it was so unusual but to be fair this whole situation was unusual and at this point anything could happen. It did make Emma feel better that Regina had been so nice to her it made all of this more bearable.
Footsteps behind her made her turn around ''Goodmorning Regina.'' The savior greeted the woman who just walked into the kitchen with bedhair and still tired looking eyes ''Do you want coffee? I just made myself some but I didn't want to wake you up. To be sure that I didn't make you annoyed by waking you up.'' She teased.
But Regina didn't move a muscle and just walked over to the sink, getting a mug and pouring the coffee in it.
''I just asked you if you wanted me to make you a cup of coffee!''
''This is my house Miss Swan. I think I can do that myself.''
The formality in her voice was so obvious and harsh that it made Emma cringe a little. It was like Regina didn't know what she wanted, joking around one minute and then going back to like they just met the next one.
''Ha, I knew you were one of them.''
''What are you talking about, Miss Swan?''
''The people who are all grumpy in the morning. But aren't we passed the Miss Swan?"
Regina ignored what she said once again and walked passed her turning around before heading back upstairs ''I'm going to take a shower after I finish my coffee. Then the bathroom is all yours.''
''Alright.'' Emma tried not to take offence by the fact that the former queen didn't feel like being around her. Of course she was used to this but Emma really felt like they made some progress in liking each other this night and now it seems like it didn't even happen.
She texted her mother if she could bring her all the stuff she needed to stay here, which in this case may as well be a potion to make Regina like her and then decided to make her and Regina breakfast.
She wasn't the best chef but breakfast was one thing she was able to handle, her signature breakfast were pancakes with syrup but since Regina had been judgmental about her eating habits in the past she decided to chop up some fruits and serve them with the pancakes as well.
Just when she finishes the last pancake Regina walked in the kitchen, dressed in a figure hugging black dress with high black boots and her wavy hair dripping over her shoulders, Emma opened her mouth -looking for words to give Regina a compliment but then closed it again giving her a doubtful smile.
''I made you breakfast.''
''I'm not particularly hungry right now, so I'll pass. Make sure you clean up the kitchen please.''
She walked away again but Emma grabbed her arm, a little electric shock went through her hand for a brief moment and Regina pulled her arm away with a stunned look.
''What is wrong with you?!''
''What is wrong with me? What is wrong with you?!'' The savior spat back. ''First you let me sleep in your bed and the next morning you act like we are strangers and can't even eat breakfast because I made it and for some reason that makes you think that it's poison. It's fucking impossible to figure you out!''
''See that is the problem Miss Swan, it's not your task to figure me out! I don't need a savior I did perfectly fine until Henry brought you here. So I'm sorry if I don't feel like eating breakfast with you so you can figure me out and give me my happy ending. I'll make it easy for you okay? My happy ending is seeing you go away.''
''And I'll make it easy for you, I'm going nowhere and we'll be together in one house for a while and if you care about Henry then at least try to get along with me to make him happy, just get over yourself okay?!''
Regina's eyes were as black as the night and shooting fire. Emma had never seen her this angry before and she knew it was only Henry holding her back from just throwing a fireball at her right now.
Regina opened her mouth to shout something back but got interrupted by the doorbell.
''That's Mary Margret.'' The savior said glazing at the confused look on Regina's face.
''Great. What the hell is she doing here?'' she grunted, putting her hand through her hair trying to calm herself down.
''Bringing my clothes and more stuff that I need, or do you want me wearing your clothes every day. I'm sure you'd like that.''
''God no. just open the door.''
Mary Margret sat down at the kitchen table eating a pancake, none of the other two women spoke or looked at each other and she gave them a suspicious look.
''Is everything okay in here?''
''Yeah fine.'' They both said a little bit too fast.
Regina saw that Mary Margret wasn't won over by their answer she said: ''It's not like I'm going to kill her, stop worrying.''
''Well you'll never know you she might kill me in my sleep. She is the evil queen right?'' Emma teased in an attempt to lighten the mood.
''Emma!'' Her mother blurted out in disbelief.
''It was a joke, why are you this worried anyways?''
''Because there seems to be more tension between you to than normal. Before I started speaking you didn't even look at each other and I thought it had at least gotten a little better.''
''We just didn't get a lot of sleep because we were worried about the dragon. But we are fine okay, I promise.'' Emma lied. She did not feel comfortable lying to her mother but she also didn't want her to worry about her staying here with Regina.
''Alright then. If you say so. I need to go right now I promised to help the fairies with the potion.'' Mary Margret got up and gave Emma a hug and then Regina a slight nod. ''Henry wants to sleep here tomorrow night, is it okay if I bring him here tomorrow after dinner?''
''Yes of course!''
''Actually can you bring him here around 5? I want to make him dinner.'' Regina asked.
''That's fine by me. See you tomorrow then.'' She turned to Emma ''I'll text you later.''
Regina and Emma didn't talk or spend time together the rest of that day. They both stayed in different rooms and tried their hardest to avoid each other. Regina's walls were up again and Emma didn't feel like trying to tear them down anymore.
They slept in different beds that night, a world of difference with the night before when they laid in the same bed, happy with each others presence.
