Regina watched him from where she was at the window.

He was only covered by a blanket and his arms reached for her in his sleep – something he would never do if they were up.

Robin.

How could it turned out so badly ?

She remembered how they first met.

She didn't want to be here. Could cope on her pain to Daniel's loss on her own. She didn't need some kind of stupid reunion group with a stupid doctor and really, it was her friends' idea but ...

Her breath stopped when she saw him.

He was sat two seats in front of her and looked as happy as she was to be here. His eyes were blue, dark circles were under it and he had sandy blond hair. There was something about him... A sadness she recognized all too well. Then the doctor – Doctor Hoper she thought, started to speak and she rolled her eyes.

"My name is Robin," started a voice that cut her from her thoughts a little while later and it was her stranger speaking, and that deep and accented voice was doing things to her insides. "I've lost my wife six months ago. She died in childbirth and..." his voice broke but he cleared his throat, "Our child didn't make it either. So I've lost everything and everyone I ever cared about, in a blink of an eye. "

Her heart stopped again and tears gathered in her eyes.

Oh God.

"Your turn, Regina."

And she jumped, finding the doctor's eyes on her.

"My name is Regina," she said lowly and cleared her throat, feeling everone's eyes on her. "I've lost my fiancé Daniel five months ago. He was murdered and taken away from me in less time than it takes to say it." she looked up and found he was intensely looking at her, "I've lost the only reason for a living I had and suddenly found myself all alone in a world he had always been there."

She escaped the room as soon as the reunion ended, but as she turned in one of the endless corridor of the hospital, a strong hand caught her arm and she jumped, turned around and found the man from earlier looking at her.

"Sorry to interrupt," he only said but didn't let go. "But what you said earlier ..." he frowned, "I can't explain it." he murmured, "But it meant something to me.."

She looked at him and he didn't looked down. Tension was suddenly surrounding them and the air was growing thin. It was now more of a battle of will. Who will crumble first to this undeniable and foolish attraction between them.

"I didn't want to come." he said finally and she swallowed when he took a step closer and his scent – fresh and woody, invaded her nose. "But I might have found a reason to change my mind."

Regina then bent and grabbed the collar of his jacket, crashing his mouth on hers. A low growl escaped him and his hands squeezed at her waist before he pushed her against a wall, all the while devouring her mouth.

"I'm not searching for a relationship." he managed to mutter against her jaw and she closed her eyes.

"I'm never going to love again."

"Fine by me."

And he resumed kissing her. Soon, it wasn't enough and he looked around before opening one of the door and closing it behind them, pinning her on it still kissing her like his lips could bruise hers.

"We can't do this here." she whispered but his hand traveled all the way to her skirt and pulled it, before he found her core and she moaned at the touch, threw her head back, grinding her hips into him.

"Can't we ?" he asked hoarsely before tying her thigh around his waist.

Brown eyes met dark blue and they were both breathing heavily before she opened the mouth.

"Take me." she ordered and a smirk appeared on his lips, showing dimples and she realized how handsome he was.

This was not going to end well.

Robin moved and she froze, fearing he would wake up, but he only muttered something and went back to sleep.

Regina sighed and closed her eyes, a hand on her forehead.

For the six months after this meeting, all they did was meet somewhere and basically, fuck. Everywhere, at anytime. But nothing more. They both were too hurt over their loss and relationship weren't what they wanted – or needed, for the matter. So they both agreed they'll keep it sexual between them.

At least that's what she thought.

It wasn't a sane relationship in any ways, they never called eachother unless they wanted to, well, to do what they had to do. They never talked or snuggle after sex, they never really talked at all, actually. They never met at neither of their house, always an hotel or a motel. They never spent the night together after.

Well, at least it used to be this way.

But then, it had been the anniversary of Robin's wife' and child's death and Regina had been worried about him. He had tried to push her away, but she knew him too well – and how the hell was that possible ?

She remembered that day very well...

She knocked, anxious and when he opened, his blue eyes were red and he was holding a bottle of whiskey half empty. His eyes widened, seeing her.

"Regina ? How did you get my address ?"

"I asked Doctor Hopper."

"You shouldn't be here." he muttered darkly and was about to shut the door but she stopped him.

"Please, Robin." and something in her eyes must have stopped him. "I want to stay."

A tear escaped his eyes.

"I can't... I can't do anything tonight."

Her eyes widened,

"Of course not !" she showed him the bag in her hands, "I brought food. Actual food."

A small, genuine smile lit up his features and her heart skipped a beat before he let her in.

The night had gone surprisingly well.

She had let him talk about Marian – his wife, and Roland – that was the name of his son. And in return, she talked a bit more about Daniel. At some point during the meal, Robin wiped a bit of cream from the corner of her mouth and no matter how foolish this might sound, her heart had beaten faster suddenly and that scared her, not for the first time though.

Because she had noticed,

She had noticed being near him was affecting her a lot more lately. Not knowing if he was seeing someone else – they never discussed this kind of things, was killing her. She had noticed she missed him when they didn't see each other for more than a couple of days, missed him even then. Had noticed she was waiting for a text, even if she knew he wouldn't send one. Had noticed something was wrong when on Valentine's Day, she had waited the whole day for a text, or a sign of any kind that he was thinking about her as much as she was thinking about him...

Regina didn't really know how or when,

But somehow, she had fallen in love with Robin.

So when his bright blue eyes had looked into her, she tried to say something, but he only brought her to him by catching her hand, and she fell on his lap. Robin nuzzled her nose in a tender way that was so not like him – they never did tender gesture, always passionate. She was breathless.

"Thank you for tonight." he breathed against her lips and really, his eyes were so blue, and so honnest, open even. She had never seen him so handsome.

"My pleasure." she breathed and his eyes fell on her lips before he leant in and kissed her.

And they had kissed many times since the day they met...

But something was different.

When they receded, she saw he was frowning and when his eyes opened, he looked confused, and lost, and so very afraid.

"Regina..."

But she didn't want to hear him, so she cut him, kissing him again and soon, things get hotter and they ended in his bed.

But they didn't just slep together.

Not this time.

Because Robin had worshipped her, and Regina had kissed every inch of his body. Because he marked her as his own and she kissed away each and every of his tears. Because when he finally entered her, their beating hearts were one. Because he leant in their joined hands to thrust into her and because their eyes never left each other, apart from the tender and passionate kisses here and there. Because she was holding him so close to her and he went willingly. Because when they finally came, it was together, and she moaned his name while he groaned hers. Because for once, they didn't part right after, but he receded and brought her close to him, in his arms.

Because on this night, for the first time,

They made love.

And here she was now, in the middle of the night after waking up in his arms. And she didn't know what to do.

What could she do ?

"What is it?" a voice made her jump and when she turned, Robin was frowning slightly.

She took a deep breath and walked closer to the bed, sitting by his side and looking at her hands before she locked eyes with him.

"I was wondering what we were doing." his eyes widened in recognition and she blushed slightly, "You know, as I spent the night here and tonight was-"

"Tonight was amazing, Regina." he cut her softly and a smile lit up her face. His blue eyes were shining with something she had never seen in him, but then he shook his head and it seemed to be over. "But it doesn't change a thing."

She froze.

"How's that ?"

"It can't change a thing."

For a few seconds, they stayed in silence, challenging each other.

"And what if I want it to change ?" she asked then and he looked down.

"I can't allow that to happen." and her heart broke entirely in her chest then.

"You don't want things to change between us ?"

Robin looked up.

"Regina... We agreed. Just sex and nothing more."

"Well," she exclaimed, tears building in her eyes. "What if I want more ?"

His eyes widened.

"You do ?"

"Perhaps."

He looked at her then and he looked so lost she almost fell bad for him, but then, again, it was all gone.

"No. I don't want to be in a relationship. I told you so when we met."

"It was 6 months ago, Robin !"

"Still. And you told me you wouldn't love again."

"Perhaps I lied." she breathed and saw him tense. "Perhaps I do love again. "

For a few second then, he was quiet, but then he spoke, and it was with that broken voice he used the day they met at the reunion.

"What we have... It's not real, Regina." And that hurt more than she thought it would. "We're not good for each other. We're damage and-"

"But that's exactly why we are good for each other, Robin!" she exclaimed but a tear escaped her eyes as she took his hand and squeezed it. "That's exactly why we're good for each other."

"I'll hurt you."

"No you won't."

"And at the end, when I lost you-"

"You won't lose me."

"You can't promise that."

"Robin-"

He closed his eyes tight before receding and she felt cold without him.

"Please, leave." he breathed.

"Don't do that. You don't have to. We could be happy, Robin..."

"Leave my appartment, Regina." he said in a voice colder than she had ever heard him use. "And don't ever come back." She took the blow right in the heart and he added, more softly "I can't live that again. I'm sorry."

She finally get up and tears were rolling down her cheeks.

"You'll regret this, Robin." she took a step closer and kissed his cheek tenderly and he closed the eyes at the contact, "And when you do, you'll know where to find me."

And then she was gone.

Regina was right, of course she was.

He had regretted his decision the moment she had left.

Robin had tried to live without her.

But after a day, he knew he couldn't.

Now, weeks later – he hadn't count how many, he still saw her everywhere, at every hours of the day – or the night and had to face the truth,

He was in love with Regina.

Somewhere in the middle of their strange and dark relationship, he had fallen for her. And his smart and beautiful Regina had been the first to understand, the first to see it.

God,

He had been such an idiot.

He had let her go...

The only woman who mend his heart and made him whole again.

He had to find her.

Robin had searched everywhere and now, he was at the last place he thought she could be. The reunion group where they first met.

"Robin !" smiled Doctor Hopper, catching sight of him, "How are you ? Come, the reunion was about to begin."

But Robin wasn't listening, his eyes scanning the crowd.

But she wasn't there.

His heart stopped in his chest, until it started beating again...

"Robin ?"

His breath came faster as he turned around, finally facing the woman he couldn't stop thinking about. She was looking a bit pale for his liking, but otherwise as stunning as she usually did.

And then, Robin didn't think.

He caught her hand and brought her to him, kissing her passionately and if she was surprised at first, she kissed him back and they heard the cheers around them, but he couldn't care. When they receded, he cupped her cheeks, and saw she was lost.

"You were right." he breathed and her eyes widened, "I'm sorry it took me so much time to see it, but you were."

"Robin, what are you saying ?" because he could see she didn't dare hope.

"I'm saying that you were right. About everything. I'm saying that I want to be with you, fully." a smile lit up her face and she had never been so beautiful. "I'm saying that I love you." he breathed and a tear escaped her brown eyes before she threw herself on him and kissed him, before burying her face in his neck.

"Oh God, I love you too, Robin."

And they stayed in each other's arms, never noticing the small woman with curly blond hair and green eyes and dress; smiling at the sight of them before waving her hand and suddenly disapear,

Just like magic.
