A/n: Thank you for the review, favourites, followings and reading. So... uh... this is awkward XD
Nah I kid.
But seriously, as I'm watching 5b I roll around my bed hoping that our beloved ship eventually be happy (and alive). Hades is pretty cool, and I'm amazed with myself how much I'm pointing the Greek mythology (my friend is a massive Greek nerd and is basically doing all sorts of research.)Though I will admit, I wish someone called Cerberus, Spot. I just can't take the poor pup seriously because of that name.
You beloved dork Hades.
Also watched Zootopia, and I loved the bloody movie so much. I like Frozen, and I loved Big Hero Six, Tangled is probably one of my favourite of the newer Disney movies but Zootopia will always hold a place in my heart.
Now all OUAT needs to do is make a bunny joke with Snow White. Adam and Eddy, please have this done so my life will be complete. You guys do Star Wars, and you even did Frozen shortly after its release so you have to do a Zootopia reference. So I can laugh and show all my friends I'm not (that) crazy
Also. Speaking of 5B, if I read one more comment online about preferring emotionally detached Emma from Season 1, I swear I'm gonna go massive rant mode. And it will not be pretty...
Warning: Lame attempts at fluffs so if it's strange to you then I won't judge you for running like the wind, possible OOC (don't doubt it). Also, there may be grammar errors and possible typos
Disclaimer: Don't own OUAT. However, I would like to brag once again that I fist bumped with Sean Maguire and I will not get over it, (he also kissed me on the cheek and I nearly died). What was my point again? Oh right. Don't own OUAT – let's not get into the discussion of if I did.
"So Swan," Killian spoke casually, drawing Emma away from the drink. Her green eyes met his and she would've sworn that she felt a feeling that was akin to trust. And that worried her. It should've been the first sign that would normally send her running. "How did you stumble on a small town like this?"
Oh here they went. Emma knew the casual 'life story' telling. So she kept to the story that she told every male on a date – not that this was a date or anything. The last thing wanted was Killian Jones to think that she was on a date with him.
In the short time of knowing this man, he had a dangerously large ego that did not need stroking of any kind.
"I came from Boston," Emma explained with a light shrug. "For a few months, it's just been me and Biscuit until a fire burned my apartment. There's not much to say to be honest."
Killian's features softened and just like that, his calm personality sobered. "Just you and Biscuit?" Emma held in her breath as she met his eyes, recognising the identical gaze in her eyes as she stared at the mirror.
Every nerve in her body told her to flee from him just then, but she pushed it aside for now. Even though she wanted to leave, the dominate part of her wanted to stay. So she remained seated, watching the deputy take a drink.
"I take it is just you and Roger then," Emma finally said.
"Aye," he muttered softly. "I moved from Ireland with Roger to Storybrooke a little over a year ago." His knuckles turned white from clenching the glass. "Let's just say I left that life behind me, it hadn't felt like home since I was a lad."
"And Storybrooke does?" Emma asked, raising a brow when her question caught him off guard. Killian seemed perplexed in his thoughts, as if he was deeply considering the true meaning of Emma's words.
'Home is the place when you leave, you just miss it.'
The dormant memory spurred in the back of her mind. Despite Neal's betrayal and her life's lesson, Emma stuck to those words in particular. They sounded true, but Emma never experienced the feeling after leaving another city.
Maybe it was just another lie.
"Aye." Killian nodded slowly. When Emma went to look back at the dark haired male, she saw that he was being sincere. A pang of envy flooded through Emma as she realised that she wanted what he had for as long as she could remember. "I began my work as a Deputy with Dave and Robin has been loyal to me right from the beginning. Regina has been snarky, but she still welcomes me in the town." Their eyes met again and Emma immediately redirected her interest in the growing condensation of her glass. "Perhaps this place could be your home too."
Emma's breath caught in her throat and she froze. The consideration of Storybrooke becoming her home made her hesitant. She wouldn't lie; Emma realised that the small town was filled with nice people and she couldn't deny that the isolation from the cities had its perks.
But this town couldn't be...
"I need some air," Emma said instantly. She pushed herself to her feet, placing a few bills on the table before making her way outside. The chilly air was the first thing that came into her face as she opened the door and exited the building.

By the time the words slipped out of him, Killian knew he screwed up. Emma had immediately stood to her feet and hurried out of Granny's in attempt to fleeing from him.
With a light curse, Killian scolded himself for pushing her. He couldn't explain it, but he knew that Swan was a lot like him. She had the lost look in her green eyes, the same look that Killian had every time he glanced at the mirror. His life hit some unfortunate obstacles that almost sent him on a dark path.
His father left him and his older brother Liam at a young age, forcing Liam to focus his attention on raising Killian. Killian looked up to his older brother, even willing to join the navy together as the Jones brothers. Unfortunately, before Killian could graduate, Liam died in an accident and Killian no longer possessed the strength to continue his path.
It hadn't been long until he reunited with his father. There hadn't been a time when Killian was so furious with the man, but all the anger he felt disappeared when he discovered that his father was terminally ill. Killian was willing to forgive his father for leaving them behind so many years ago, even when he discovered that he had a younger half brother.
Sometimes Killian had to look back and wonder if his forgiveness had to do with his father's dying breath.
That was, until he learned that his half brother was nothing but a replacement for their father. Killian could forgive his father for abandoning him and Liam, he could even forgive his father for finding love again but he could never excuse his father for naming his third son Liam, in attempts to replacing them.
So with that, Killian left his father – the same way his father left him and Liam. Being unable to tolerate the thoughts of his father, Killian bought a plane ticket to America and found himself in Maine when he stumbled upon Storybrooke.
David had been generous enough to offer Killian a job and Robin often shared drinks with Killian when he had the time. Soon enough, Killian realised he enjoyed their company and started accepting Storybrooke as his real home.
But he had to admit, there were times Killian laid in bed wondering if he should've stayed with his father. He wondered what his half brother was like (he refused to call his half brother Liam). However, he eventually learned that his half brother was moving on with his mother back in Ireland and Killian was satisfied.
"What did you say to her?" David demanded, startling Killian back into reality. It had been only seconds when Emma left him alone in the booth, but Killian's thoughts made him believe that it was hours of thoughts.
"I may have stepped over the line," Killian muttered dryly and went to chase after her. As he got up, he felt David's hand clasp around his wrist. "What is it now Dave?" Normally irritation didn't colour his tone, but for some reason Killian had no restraint in his current emotions.
"Emma's is considered family to me," David said sternly. There were times when Killian saw David's protective tone around his wife and it was just as fierce. "So you better apologise for what you said."
"I will," Killian swore and as soon as David let go of his arm, Killian headed out of Granny's to follow Emma. It was much to his relief as he realised that she didn't go far and was leaning on the post. She had her back turned to him and her thoughts appeared to have been elsewhere. "Swan."
And just like that, Emma turned to face him. Killian nearly winced when he recognised the confliction in her gaze. He should've been careful with his words, it wasn't like him to blurt out comments like he had.
However Emma's silence troubled him and Killian immediately forced the courage to speak his mind. "I need to apologise for my behaviour, I was out of line and I shouldn't have done it."
Emma didn't respond and as he stared at her Killian thought that whatever connection they had was shattered. His hopes crushed in his chest, he clenched his jaw and tried his hardest not to scold himself out loud.
"I grew up in a lot of foster homes." Her voice seemed quiet, but it was enough for Killian's ears to catch. Instantly, Killian's eyebrow rose in surprise, but not because of her reasons but rather the fact that she was admitting something despite their early meeting. "So I guess... I never found my home..."
So love is rare in her life. Killian should've known. Aside from Liam, Killian didn't have much in his time in Ireland. "It could be here." Again she stiffened, but this time Killian wasn't afraid of her running off.
A gentle scoff escaped her. "It could be..." She uttered the words with disbelief, but judging from the look in her eyes, Killian knew that she was considering it.
A/n: I sacrifice this Captain Swan chapter in exchange for decent weather – er... I mean reviews.
So anyways, I was originally going to have Milah as Killian's dead partner, but I thought the story would've gone better with his story with Brennan. That way, Killian being betrayed would be a lot closer with Emma's betrayal with Neal.
Random Fact: The story idea came from a discussion with my friends when they asked what kind of person I would be interested in. I honestly didn't know, but then I thought to a relationship similar to Killian and Emma. The idea of finding each other through mutual connection and that's I started to write words onto the laptop.
