-Previously on Choices-
When she entered, she saw him ready to leave and her heart stopped.
No.
He couldn't leave her.
The man turned around and his eyes widened, seeing her.
"Regina ?" his voice barely above a whisper.
She took a step closer, hesitantly and a deep breath.
Now was the moment of truth.
"Please, don't leave me."
Chapter 7
He opened the mouth to speak, but no words left.
She smiled sadly and took another step closer, eyes unsure.
"Tell me it isn't too late." she breathed but the man only looked down.
"Regina..."
"Tell me we can still fix things between us."
He wanted that. More than anything else. But how could he be sure this was what she wanted ?
"Tell me I didn't mess up everything." she murmured and somehow, his heart broke for her.
"But what about-"
"You're the only one I want." his heart stopped then started beating really fast. "I am sorry it took me so long to realize it." she walked closer until only a few inches separated them, but the man didn't move, relishing instead in that closeness.
"Regina..." he breathed and she felt tingles all over when his warm breath fall on her lips.
One of her hand raised and stroked his stubble cheek tenderly, eyes soft and tender before she admitted outloud:
"I chose you, Robin." she breathed and saw the blue eyes sparkled in joy before she leant in and kissed him like it was her last chance to do so.
Daniel turned around and frowned, seeing a blond woman, all dressed in green.
"Who the hell are you ?" he asked and she smiled gently.
"I think we need to sit down."
The man frowned but sat.
"My name is Tinkerbell," she said, "And we have a lot to say to each other."
Robin receded and she could see he was holding back, looking at her like somehow, she was going to disapear and leave him alone once again. So Regina took his hand and intertwined their fingers together before kissing them.
"I'm here." she breathed and blue eyes locked onto brown. "I'm not leaving."
He nodded but whispered,
"I think we need to talk."
Regina's heart stopped at those words as she let go of his hand.
He didn't want to be with her.
She had ruined everything.
She had lost him.
She had lost the man she loved.
Oh God.
"So, " said Daniel, getting up and pacing. " If I get it right, you led Regina to her soulmate, short after I died ?"
"Well, to be fair, it was months after you died."
"Anyway. You led her to that tavern. Did she went in?"
"I told you she didn't." breathed the fairy and a dark chuckle escaped him,
"Then please explain me why the woman I love is chosing another man right now !"
"Fate has its way." shrugged the blond. "I'm sorry."
Daniel looked deflated suddenly and he let himself fall on the bed, eyes lost faraway.
"This is not your fault. It's mine. I shoulnd't have come back."
"Don't say that !" exclaimed the fairy and she took his hand, squeezing it. "You're still major to Regina, even if this is no longer in the way you'd like to."
Daniel smiled sadly and looked down, trying to hide his feelings.
"Do you think I'll ever be happy again ?" he breathed and Tink squeezed his hand.
"I'm sure of it. You have to keep hope, Daniel. Your soulmate is right here in Storybrooke, perhaps even closer than you imagine !"
He looked up at the small woman and another smile lit up his face, a bit more genuine this time as he studied her carefully and saw something he never did before.
"Perhaps she is." he breathed, never breaking eyes contact and the fairy blushed, looking down before getting up hurriedly.
"I should go. Will you be ok ?"
"Yes." he said, sighing. "I have to speak with Regina."
She nodded and smiled,
"Good luck."
Regina was sat on the bed of the tent, waiting for Robin while he went to put Roland under John's care. When he came back, she noticed how weary he looked. How his blue eyes didn't sparkle like they usually did, how dark circles were under said blue eyes and how tired he looked.
She had done this to him.
Robin sighed and sat by her side, before clearing his throat.
"Regina..."
"Please, I want to talk first." she finally said and his eyes widened but he nodded. "I am sorry, Robin." she finally said. "I am sorry for I know I hurt you deeply and that was not my intention-"
"Regina-"
"No. Let me finish this." He nodded and she took a deep breath before blue eyes met brown. "I choose you, Robin." she saw his eyes widened and she smiled softly, "I do. And I did all along. All this time, I tried to convince myself that my feelings for Daniel were still true and in one sense, they are, but not in that way. I'll always love Daniel..." the outlaw looked down but she added, "As a friend." he looked up, frowning slightly. "And I realized this was all he could ever be to me. Because..." tears were shining in her eyes as she seemed to gather all her courage, "Because Robin, I love you."
His eyes widened even more and his mouth opened and if Regina wasn't so anxious, she would have laughed in front of the look on his face. The archer then seemed to compose himself as he cleared his throat and shook his head before running a hand through his hair.
"Look," he finally said. "I want to believe you, I want that more than anything else in this world."
"But?"
"But you've made a choice once, and it wasn't me. What's assuring me that you won't do the same again ? Because I don't want to let you back in my heart only to have you break it all over again when you realize this isn't what you want !"
A tear escaped Regina's eyes and she sighed, before murmuring.
"I want you, Robin. I am sure of that. Now the real question is, can you give me a second chance ?"
He looked at her but was unable to answer. She smiled sadly and got up, once at the flap of the tent, she turned around,
"You know where to find me."
And then she was gone.
Robin's heart was beating so loud he could hear it in his mind.
What kind of an idiot was he already ?
This was all he ever wanted.
She was all he wanted.
And now what ?
He just let her go ?
Robin got up and ran toward the flap of the tent, glimpsed her a few meters away and thanked God she didn't just poofed herself home.
"REGINA !" he screamed and she stopped, turned around, brown eyes shining with hope and he smiled, he chuckled before running to her and taking her in his arms. When they receded, he nuzzled her nose with his, "I love you too." he breathed and barely glimpsed the dazzling smile she get him before he kissed her like nothing else ever mattered.
Because nothing did.
