AN: This is for Swan Queen week day 4. The prompt is "mistaken for a couple." Set during Zelena's curse, when Henry still has his false memories.

Henry sat across the table from the mayor of this strange little town, watching her carefully, trying to figure out just how close she was with his mother. She never let him go anywhere with people that he'd only met once, but she had insisted on this woman showing him around town rather than doing it herself. He also found it more than a little odd that his mom introduced him to her at all. Her only friend that he'd ever met was Walsh, and he'd turned out to be more than a friend, so of course Henry was suspicious of this woman.

"So," the woman finally said, "How are you liking Storybrooke, Henry?"

"It's alright, I guess," he shrugged. It's not New York, that's for sure.

"You enjoy New York." It wasn't a question. He noticed that it made her smile tighten, like she wasn't exactly happy to hear this.

"Yeah. All of my friends are there."

"You have a lot of friends?"

"Yeah, I guess so. Why are you so interested?" he asked. She looked hurt. "I'm not trying to be rude, it's just, I don't know you, and here you are asking me all of these questions. I'm not stupid, Miss Mills. Just ask me what you really want to know."

"I'm not sure what you mean young man..."

"Sure you do. It's pretty obvious that you and my mom used to be a thing. Just ask me if she's seeing anyone already."

"Henry! That is highly inappropriate! I'm not - Your mother and I are not, and were not ever a thing! I'm simply trying to get to know you, because your mother is a very dear friend of mine."

"Sure." He rolled his eyes. "That's why she couldn't describe your relationship to me. Think about it. She didn't know how to introduce you, so she just said you're the mayor. What reason would she have of introducing me to the mayor of a town that we will leave as soon as she finishes her job here. I get the feeling that you two are keeping a secret, and I hate secrets, especially when it comes to my mom."

She let out a sigh and started to speak, "I - listen Henry, if your mom is keeping a secret from you, I'm sure that she has a very good reason for doing so. But what I can do is assure you that there is nothing between us."

He watched her again, trying to detect any hint of a lie, but found none. Despite that, he couldn't shake the feeling that there was something more to this mayor that neither she nor Emma was willing to admit, and he wasn't going to rest until he figured it out.
