Relationships: Captain Hood, Captain Swan, Outlaw Queen

Prompt: I combined two prompts for this. The first was "It's a bagel", and the second was Regina and Emma watch as Hook and Robin get introduced to technology.


"And this contraption here is called a toaster," Hook said knowledgeably, flourishing his hook at the appliance. Emma smirked at the healthy distance he was sure to maintain between his steel hook and the machine; one near-electrocution had been enough to instill a definite wariness. "You use it on bread."

Robin squinted at it skeptically. "How does it work?"

Hook opened his mouth, paused, and then said, "Electricity," with such supreme conviction you'd think he invented the concept (no matter that he still seemed half-convinced it was just another word for magic in this land). He then proceeded to open the breadbox and begin demonstrating how one went about operating a toaster, all the while keeping his left arm a good distance away.

Regina wandered into the kitchen several minutes later, by which time Robin had grown quite fond of the toaster. He greeted her by enthusiastically offering to toast her a rounded bread if she was hungry.

"Actually, it's a bagel," the queen corrected, but despite the caustic edge to it, her voice was fond, and she accepted the offer. Emma shoved out a second chair with her foot, and after a moment Regina sank into it, still watching the men.

"What's this?" she asked with quiet amusement, as Hook supervised Robin's careful fiddling with the blackness setting knob.

"Hook is teaching Robin about technology," Emma smirked, as both men leaned their heads to the side in unison so they could watch the coils on the inside of the toaster heating up, Robin humming interestedly. "Stick around, next up's the microwave."
