Outlaw Queen Week ~ Day 4 - Domesticity

A/N: Here we go, guys! Day 4 and this is what happened. Established OQ. Hope you enjoy it! As usual, no beta work, mistakes and all are only on me.

"I like this one!" Robin says excitedly to Henry, who's showing him the Wonders of television. It's a warm Sunday morning and the archer has been watching TV shows with Henry for two weeks now. He just has to adjust his watching schedule with his shifts at the station, which means he always has a day to watch everything Henry has been picking for him. The one he was talking about was the biggest cliché considering the main character and Robin's archery abilities.

"I don't know why I'm surprised. It was so obvious you'd like Arrow." Henry chuckled and took the remote control; time for something new.

"Oh, c'mon! The guy shoots arrows with a precision that I've never seen before and green is his favorite color," Robin listed and lowered his voice to complete. "And Queen is his surname. How can I not like the guy?"

"He's only a fictional character, Robin!" Henry said pointedly.

Robin looked at the young man with the funniest face he's ever seen. "Are you serious? The world knows your mother as The Evil Queen, and your grandmother is Snow White, just to list them."

An awkward silence settled in the room. "Right, I need to remember that even you are a fictional character."

"Exactly!" Robin looked at the TV with the strangest feeling ever. "I am a fictional character indeed. Is there anything about me on TV?"

Oh no! He shouldn't have asked that, now Henry had to watch the cartoon again. "I am not really sure you will like to watch one particular movie about you. The other two are just fine, but…"

"Of course I want to watch. I need to know what people think about me, and what these people who make films did with me."

Well, two hours later, Robin was red faced and feeling utterly offended. "A fox? Seriously? And Little John is a bear? But most importantly, why the hell were we animals?!" Henry was having the time of his life right at that moment. He got up from his sit and ran upstairs to look for the most notorious Robin Hood movie, and Regina had that one on DVD. He had to try and restore the man's faith in the film industry after all.

When he came back, Robin was still muttering under his breath about how absurd it was to see himself portrayed as a fox. "At least the story is a match," and Henry couldn't help himself and laughed so loud he startled Robin out of his indignant reverie.

"Ok, now let me heal this ego of yours. Sit down."

Another two hours had passed, and Robin was beaming like a child. "That is one good story! That is how you talk about me."

"That one scene with the arrow was pretty cool, hun?"

"Yes, yes it was. This whole movie was great. And believe it or not but the Nottingham sheriff looks so much like that guy they chose to play him. It scared me a bit at first."

Henry was laughing again, knowing that Robin was really enjoying the entertainment side of this land.

"What's next?" The older man asked, excited to watch more TV shows. "Is there any more Arrow to watch?"

"No, only in the fall. Most shows are on hiatus at this time of the year, and the ones that are on I can't watch."

Robin looked at Henry, a puzzled expression in his face. "Why can't you watch?"

"Not for my age, you know? Violence, swearing and too much sex," he whispered the last word afraid his mother could be watching them again.

"I see. Then I'll ask Regina to watch some of them with me."

"This is one mission for you. She's not that into TV shows, you know?"

"Well, watch me!"

~o~

Two weeks later Henry came back from camping night with Charming and the dwarves just to find Robin and Regina asleep on the couch. She was sprawled over his body, the TV was on and there was a show airing. Orphan Black was the name of it. Apparently, they were asleep for a while because it had just begun and Henry decided to take a look at it just because he wasn't really in the mood to sleep anymore.

He sat behind the couch and spent the next hours watching the first four episodes of that show. Oh, that's a good one, he thought, still impressed with the lead actress (and all those clones, of course).

When the fifth episode was about to begin, Robin stirred in his sleep and with his eyes still closed cranked his neck from side to side and groaned. Maybe a sharp pain, Henry thought. At the same moment, Regina stretched out her arms and put her hand in Robin's chest to balance her weight and got up. When her sight focused, the TV was off and there was no sign of Henry.

"I'm going to check on Henry."

"Ok, I think I need a hot shower, my neck is killing me."

"That's what happens when you decide to watch all these episodes at once," Regina got up of the couch and saw Henry's backpack on the floor. "You know, we could have watched Game of Thrones upstairs at least you wouldn't be with this pain now."

"I'm not really sure that watching this particular show in the bedroom was going to be a good idea." She looked at him knowing full well what he meant.

"You are a damn pervert, Robin Hood!"

"Oh, I know but it's only with you, Milady."

Of all things, Regina blushed deeply and looked around to make sure they were alone.

"You better watch your tongue when the boys are around."

"They are upstairs, don't worry!" He came closer and held her to his chest.

All of a sudden both heard Henry running, freshly bathed and with an excited look in his face.

"When did you arrive, Henry?" Regina asked, going to her son and hugging him.

"Around 2 in the morning, Leroy had some allergic reaction in the camp and we had to take him to the hospital." Henry explained, remembering that he needed to call his grandpa to know if the dwarf was fine.

"Is he ok?"

"I don't know, I'm going to call grandpa later. But right now mom my attention is with your boyfriend here."

Regina looked to the both of them, waiting for the next TV challenge.

"Is your bow here, Robin? Remember you said you were going to teach me how to use it?"

Of course there was an indignant look in Regina's eyes. "You were going to teach him to be an archer. Were the boys planning on telling me or was this some sort of secret?" She crossed her arms over her chest, huffing.

She was not mad at them. Regina was rather happy with Henry and Robin getting along so well. Not to mention that Henry and Roland were the best brothers in town. Suddenly it struck her that this was all she's ever dreamed of and now she actually had it. She fought back the tears, choosing to head to the kitchen to have a glass of water and calm herself. These floods of emotion were way too common lately.

"Mom, I'll be outside arranging everything, ok?" He said from the kitchen's door. "Mark my words, I'm going to be better than him."

"I bet you will," Regina looked at him with a big smile on her face.

Henry left the kitchen when Roland came in, still sleepy.

"Mo'ning, Gina!"

"Good morning, Roland!"

She heard the shower running upstairs and Henry singing some song outside.

Life was good, she thought, with TV shows and all that.

A/N: So, Day 4 is done. Thank you for your time reading this. Reviews are much appreciated, especially knowing that each save a red panda! :D
