"Emma, Emma!" Regina was bent over the blonde as she laid on the ground, unconscious. Regina was beginning to panic. "Emma!" She shook her shoulders. "Come on Emma, wake up!" Regina's yells drew the attention of David and Henry inside the diner, who then came rushing outside.
"What happened?" David knelt beside his daughter.
"I don't know she just, passed out!" Regina was replaying to scene in her head. She felt guilty for pushing Emma to talk about something that was obviously disturbing to her. Henry bent over his mother, as he called out to her. Regina stood up trying to get out of the way, but not taking her eyes of the blonde. Slowly Emma started to regain consciousness, making small noises. Regina let out a sigh of relief when she saw the blonde stir.
"Okay, Emma you're alright" David assured her.
"What happened?" Emma widened her eyes, blinking trying to get her eyes to focus.
"You fainted" Regina said, still standing up watching her as she tried to regain her balance. "Are you okay?" she was afraid to get near her. There was no reason to anyway, both her son and her father were there to help her and protect her.
"Yeah, yeah I am. Thanks" she said dismissively, finally able to balance. "I think, I'll go home now" she said still in a daze.
"Okay honey I'll take you home" her father said, feeling protective.
"no, no I …I can go home by myself. I'm just a little stunned. I'll be fine" Emma said, trying to find some time to be alone, she didn't want her father hovering over her. "I'm fine Henry" she smiled at her son, who was giving her worried glances.
"You don't look fine, mom" he said, trying to find a way that he can accompany her. Regina remained silent, not interested in causing more of a problem.
"Henry, how about you and David get some Aspirin and an icepack from the store and bring it over. I think that would be nice, and that's a good way to help me right now." Henry looked from his grandfather to his mother and nodded.
"How about just a wait a while before you drive, Emma, would you?" David said, still concerned. Emma nodded, left standing there with a quiet Regina, who avoided eye contact. Emma also didn't want to break the silence but figured if they stand there any longer all it will do is make it awkward.
"Regina I-"
"I'm sorry." She interrupted. Emma halted her sentence. "I shouldn't have pushed. I noticed it was bothering you"
"Regina, I've just been under…a lot of stress lately… you didn't do anything wrong" Emma tried to reassure the brunette, who was still avoiding eye contact.
"May I ride with you?" Regina but still not looking Emma directly in the eye.
"Ride? Ride where?"
"You said that you were going to go home, I'd feel better knowing that you got home safely" she said finally turning her head to look at her.
"How are you going to get back?" Regina shrugged, it's a small town, we don't really need a car. She smiled. Emma was starting to relax around the mayor for the first time in several days. Emma tried to stop thinking about the event and focus on the present with Regina. Emma nodded and motioned to the bug that still had Regina's box in it, which was completely ignored when they got into the car.
"You haven't been yourself lately, and I understand. Well, somewhat. I just hope that whatever is bothering you Emma, that you'll be able to cope well with it." Regina wanted to give Emma something to make her feel better. She didn't know what it was, but she thought she would try.
The ride to Emma's home was short and sweet. Their communication was minimal, but that's what both needed. When Emma put her car in park, she decided that the least she could do would be offer the brunette something to drink, which the brunette gladly accepted.
Standing in the kitchen, Regina admired the limited but elegantly placed décor, Emma had created. Her eyes fixated on some pictures that Emma had hung up of her family as well as Regina. The brunette smiled at a picture that all three, Emma, Henry and Regina were grinning, appearing so happy to be in each other's presence. Regina turned around and jumped seeing Emma surprisingly close to her, holding a glass of alcohol out to her.
"Whiskey" Emma smiled, and took a step back, seeing that she got a little too close to the mayor.
"Thanks" Regina cleared her throat, tucked her hair behind her ear and sipped on her drink. Emma motioned to the living room to get comfortable. Regina followed, trying to take in all the details of the house that she's never noticed before. Emma patted the seat next to her and Regina complied.
"So, what happened after I left the pub" Emma said out of the blue.
"Oh uh, not much, just the bartender was being very inappropriate"
"I'm sorry I left you two there, I shouldn't have taken off like that" Emma said sincerely.
"Well, like I said you haven't been yourself lately, I just didn't know what had made you upset." Emma broke eye contact.
"I felt guilty" she passed her drink back and forth in her hands slowly as she tried to come with the right words. "I felt guilty, Regina for… looking at you the way I was doing" she confessed.
"How was that?" Regina was intrigued.
"Lustfully." Emma admitted, "I was watching you dance, and I started having thoughts that weren't…thoughts that I should be having" Regina scooted closer.
"What were those thoughts, Emma" watching Emma's every move, hoping that Emma will make eye contact with her soon.
"I… I liked…I liked the way you looked…I thought you were beautiful. The way you were dancing… you have a beautiful figure" Regina smiled, delighted that Emma was having these thoughts, and admitting to them.
"I like yours too, Emma" Regina leaned in closer, Emma turned her head to face the brunette sitting incredibly close to her. Emma tried to resist the urge to close the gap, but failed. She crushed her lips with Regina's and closed her eyes, letting out a small moan. Regina had nearly spilled her drink with the movement, needing to taste the blonde. Emma, took Regina's glass and placed it on the coffee table, all the while not removing her lips from the brunette. She leaned into her as Regina leaned back, allowing the blonde to pin her to the couch. They tasted each other's mouths, eagerly, panting as they moved with each other. Emma broke the kiss and gazed into the deep brown eyes of the woman under her. Emma bend forward, placing a kiss on her neck, before pulling back and sitting up panting slightly, fixing her hair. Regina pushed herself up trying to catch her breath as well. Emma reached over and took a sip of her drink.
Okay this is fluffyish. Anyway. Hope you enjoyed a little SQ
