Happy Valentine's Day!

I have two people I'm going to thank. First of all, Zoe, for the beta and for her endless patience with me. And Bela, even though she had a super busy week, she helped me in the most wonderful way.


Mondays were the absolute worst. Especially when you had spent the entire weekend camping.

At least that's what was crossing Robin's mind when he woke up to look up at the little alarm clock that was peacefully sitting on his bedside. The damn thing had stopped working again and he found himself once more, very late.

Putting his clothes on and driving to work was much harder now considering how his body craved the weekend he never actually got. Last week had already been a little rough on him and now going to school without even getting one day's worth of rest was bothering Robin more than it should have. Or maybe it was because of the papers he never had a chance to grade.

However, there was only one thing in his mind that made the whole 'getting out of bed in this weather' thing more tolerable, and that was his boss. Now, it had been a crazy weekend, that was for sure, and things between him and Regina were a little hectic but that was actually one of the reasons he forced himself to leave his soft, warm bed that day; his curiosity. She had done an impeccable job avoiding him the day before and truth to be told, Robin was more than willing to see her in school, just to see her reaction towards him. He wasn't fired (yet) and he knew that Regina was someone who always kept professional in the work place, and as he put on the first tie he grabbed from his closet, his mind stayed solely focused on her, curious to know if she'd keep her cool or if she'd spend the day hiding from him. His bet was on the latter.

No matter how much he tried to distract himself, he never once stopped thinking about that specific subject on his way to the school, his gaze grazing over his small town which was now weeks away from winter. The weather had gotten colder during their little stay in Waterville and if he had thought that the little rainstorm there was cold, it was nothing compared to the town; now so cold that it was downright impossible to go out without a scarf and a pair of gloves.

Leaving his car and thanking God that he managed to make it in time, he made his way inside the building and was met with warm air once he walked through the doors. He had every little intention to head to his classroom where he was planning on welcoming the students for their first period, but he stopped dead in his tracks once he spotted her.

The first bell hadn't rang yet so Robin took comfort in having students in the cafeteria for a couple of more minutes. The hallways were empty and it reminded him of the after school, parent teacher conference meetings he loved very much. After all, what was there not to love once Robin found the wide hallways empty of students?

She was there, standing in the hallway he mostly spent his time in, so dangerously close to his classroom that for a second he thought that she was waiting for him. But when he stepped closer and cleared his throat in order to make his presence known, she jumped in surprise, tearing her gaze away from an announcement that was pinned against the wall.

"Good morning." He remarked quietly and he should have walked past her, he knew he should have. But instead his feet betrayed him and he found himself coming to a stop inches away from her, expecting an answer no matter how much he knew she'd be ignoring him.

However, much to his surprise, she acknowledged his presence and turned to look at him. But it wasn't a look he was used to seeing her give to the other teachers, or it wasn't the mask she hid behind when she bid good morning to students, no, instead Robin received something much more intimate and real from Regina; which was of course the plain and pure irritation she had towards him. And after the events of the day before, that irritation had doubled in size because now there was an unspoken secret between them that they were reminded of each time they had gazed into each other's eyes. The difference was; that specific secret amused Robin, whereas it only embarrassed Regina.

And she had every intention of making it go away.

He expected all kinds of things from her in response to his single 'Good Morning'. He expected one back, he expected her to ignore him, he expected her to walk away, but what he didn't expect was her sizing him up before grabbing a hold of his shirt and pulling him into a corner.

The hallways had small openings which led to the bathrooms; now empty considering how they still had a couple of minutes till the students came flooding in. And that's where Robin had found himself with a very angry Regina standing right in front of him, arms crossed in front of her.

"I assume there's a reason for all this." He raised his eyebrows in question.

"You need to stop." Was her answer, delivered in a low voice.

"Do you expect me to know what you're talking about?"

"Oh you know exactly what I'm talking about." She took a step closer to him and threw him an intimidating look. "I don't want you doing this."

It would have been a lie to say that Robin had no idea what she was talking about, cause he knew, he knew exactly what she was talking about.

"I want two things from you, Robin," she kept talking before he had a chance to respond. "Silence and distance. Don't talk to me, don't smile at me and don't come near me."

"Are you breaking up with me?" he asked with a smirk. Great Robin, what a perfect time for jokes…

"Funny." She wasn't amused. "Do you want another slap cause I don't mind giving you one?"

Upon hearing her last words, he took a sharp step back, finally coming to a realization of how serious this conversation was getting. He couldn't help but feel a hint of melancholy settling deep down in his stomach, replacing the butterflies that he kept alive for the past two days. Guess it wasn't meant to be…

"You know what…" he took a step closer, shaking his head in disbelief. He was going to hurt her just like she hurt him, no matter how much he hated doing it. "After what I've seen last night, I think the feeling's mutual."

He pretended not to notice the sudden change in her face, her features turning into something he recognized as hurt and disappointment but she quickly pulled herself together, the trace of sadness disappearing altogether. That did not stop him from spitting out his next words.

"I want two things from you, Regina." He spoke mirroring her earlier sentence. His blue eyes rested firmly on brown ones. "Peace and quiet. Two things I never got since you started working here."

"Oh, you want peace?" she breathed out, anger dripping from her voice. She stepped even closer to him until there was no space between them. "Too bad because I will do everything in my power to make your life a living hell."

"Bring it on, Mrs. Mills." He challenged her, with a threatening voice. And for a split second, his gaze switched to her half parted lips before looking back up to her deadly stare.

"With pleasure." She replied, ignoring his little joke. But then again, they were past the point of making jokes and what he did could only mean a declaration of war. From the way she licked her lips and gave him a subtle smile, he took that as her accepting the challenge.

They stood there for a couple more seconds, both breathing heavily for reasons Robin chose not to think about as they indulged in their little staring contest, both of them too stubborn to break the eye contact. They were, however, brought back to reality when the bell rang and Regina jumped in surprise while Robin took a step back like he was caught doing something he wasn't supposed to.

She shook her head, like she was trying to get her mind back to reality and face the day before her, as she fixed the non-existent wrinkles on her black, knee length, pencil dress before turning to walk back to her office, without uttering him a single word.

He watched her leave, heels echoing through the hallway which was now beginning to fill with students walking to their classes. She disappeared into the crowd and he didn't get to see her until the end of the day.

#

"He seems… different." Emma remarked from her seat, eyes looking up to watch their English teacher as he paused mid-sentence, before shaking his head and changing the subject.

"Yeah, definitely distracted." Mary Margaret spoke from the seat in front of her.

"Maybe it's because of the slap he got the day before!" Killian grinned, leaning back.

"Ssshh! Do you want him to hear you?"

"Guys!" Robin yelled from across the board, obviously wanting them to pay attention. All three kids instantly stopped talking before averting their eyes back on their text books.

"Mr. Locksley!" Killian suddenly raised his hand after a brief pause. "What do you think of Miss Mills?"

And in the exact moment, Emma dropped her pencil on her desk and face palmed with a loud groan. How was that boy not expelled already? From the desk in front of her, she could see Mary Margaret turning to give him a sharp look as David smirked with amusement. Guys were so childish…

"Excuse me?" Robin looked up over his glasses, giving him a chance to rephrase his obviously inappropriate question.

"I mean…" Killian was smart enough to get the hint. "What do you think of the… uhm, amount of detentions that Miss Mills give?"

Robin placed his text book on his desk with a sigh before taking of his glasses. No matter how much he tried to forget about that woman and focus on his classes, she found a way of popping back up in his life. Now there it was, the obvious question coming from one of his students regarding his thoughts about her and it was only expected after the charade they'd pulled at the camp the day before. Even a fool would understand that they didn't have the usual relationship that two coworkers had.

"Even though Mrs… I mean Miss Mills and I don't always see eye to eye," he cleared his throat. "We both agree that you, Killian, should not be talking this much in class."

"But, we all saw how you made her smile at the campfire the other day!"

Much to Robin's dismay, the whole class cheered and the ones who weren't at the field trip were left with asking their neighbors what happened during camping. Why did everything had to lead to gossip?

"I'd say that was a lucky coincidence." Robin explained, hoping it to work. But of course it didn't, why would it? Life was out to get him.

"No, it wasn't." Gold spoke from the very back. He didn't need to raise his voice to get the class' attention. For some reason, everyone listened to him. "Miss Mills never smiles."

"She does if you say the right words." Robin shrugged. "Now if we can get back to Oedipus and the catharsis that-

"What are those?" Killian asked with a grin.

"What? The catharsis?"

"Noooo…." The whole class groaned along with him. "The right words?"

"I… uhm." Robin felt his throat go dry. He had always been a terrible liar but he may have pulled of one if he gave an immediate answer to the question. Unfortunately for him, he didn't. But before he could think of anything else to say, someone else spoke up.

"Is Miss Mills married?" Victor asked, not particularly to him.

"No, she's not!" David replied. Even his favorite student had failed Robin and he found himself taking a step back, raising his eyebrows in confusion.

"Oh my God, Mr. Locksley. You and Miss Mills would look sooo good together." Ruby then sighed from next to Victor.

"Whoa, wait a minute…" the things were getting out of hand and Robin had no idea how to stop it.

"Sooo true…" Mary Margaret agreed with dreamy eyes. "You should ask her out!"

"Yeah! She likes you too!"

"No, she doesn't." Someone else said. "She doesn't like anyone."

"She does too!" Ruby once again spoke. "She was smiling at him…"

"Guys, please!" Robin raised his hands but of course nobody was listening.

"She was flirting with him!"

"She's in love with him!"

"She wants to have his babies!"

"What the hell is this noise?!" the door burst open and the whole class fell into a deadly silence.

Everyone who was voicing their opinions so mindlessly just seconds ago, immediately close their mouths as they all stared at the principal by the door with horrified expressions on their faces. The only thought that crossed everyone's head was; was it possible to get detention as a whole class? And by the looks of Regina who had one hand on the door handle and the other on her hip as she stared everyone down with fury, it was indeed possible.

"What is going on here?!" she once again asked when she didn't get any answer.

Robin knew this was the moment where she'd be chopping him up and feed him to the lions. Or that's what it felt like as he watched her tear her gaze away from the student to look at him, waiting for an explanation. Except of course he did not have one, and he was pretty sure that his face was red with embarrassment.

True, everyone feared the principal but that was not the reason for the silence in class. They actually wanted to watch the exchange between Mr. Locksley and Miss Mills. The whole thing was better than the homecoming game.

"If you have a problem with keeping a bunch of kids in control, maybe you're in the wrong line of work." Regina mocked him with a hint of amusement in her voice. However, when one of the kids snickered, she threw him a dangerous look.

"Ah Miss Mills…" Robin leaned against his desk, crossing his arms in front of him. "How nice it is to see you grace us with your presence."

"Well, it was either that or your students were going to burn the school down." She threw him an annoying look.

"We were just discussing… a theory." That was a lie and him along with twenty three people in the class knew it.

"Regarding?"

"Uhm.. the… you know…" Robin made a mental note to go home and type 'How to Lie Better' to Youtube search engine.

"Oedipus!" Killian spoke up and everyone silently applauded him for his uncalculated bravery. "We were just telling Mr. Locksley how Oedipus shouldn't be ashamed of liking Jacosta."

"Yeah, if he likes her, he should just tell her!" David agreed.

"No, he can't." Robin tried to interfere.

"But its true looove…." Ruby rested her head on her hands with a broad smile.

"God, did no one read the book?!" Robin suddenly raised his voice. "She's his mom! That relationship is doomed!"

"Ew, never mind…" Killian averted his gaze. "Cockblocked by Socrates."

"May I have a word?" Regina addressed Robin, her gaze leaving the class only to land on him.

"Didn't you have your word this morning?"

"Robin…" she breathed out in a low and threatening voice.

What they did not notice was how every single one of the students present in that class let out respective gasps. Ruby who was supporting her head on her hand, slipped her elbow on the desk in surprise as her pens fell onto floor with a loud clatter. No one paid attention.

Everyone was thinking about the same questions. Since when were their teachers on a first name basis? And what had happened that morning?

"Regina," he replied, lips curving into an amused smile.

"Not now." She warned him, referring to their earlier discussion.

"Now seems like the perfect time."

"You're pushing it."

And in that exact moment, Robin realized that maybe doing this in front of the students was not such a great idea after all. He lifted his weight off the desk before taking a step closer to Regina. Clearing his throat, he broke the intense eye contact with the principal and turned to address the students who were watching the two with wide eyes.

"I don't wanna hear another word." He warned them and Killian's wolf whistle died in his throat.

He walked over to the door and accompanied Regina out with a gentle hand on the small of her back before closing the classroom door to give them at least a sense of privacy.

"What now?" he asked, crossing his arms in front of him. "Couldn't wait to see me?"

"You need to keep them under control." She replied, not amused as she placed both hands on her hips.

"Did you not get the memo? This is not the military."

"It's not a kindergarden either." She raised her voice and eyed him carefully. "We need order."

"You need order, we need a principal who knows the word 'mercy'". He stepped closer to her.

"Mr. Locksley, stop or-

"Or what? You'll give me detention?"

On the other side of the door, Killian was staring intently at the door that they just watched their teachers disappear from and thinking. No, more like he was planning. Part of him wanted to leave his seat, run to the door and eavesdrop the conversation. However from the corner of his eye, he saw Emma give him a killer glare like she was able to read his mind.

"What?" he managed to tear his gaze away from the door and turn to look at her.

"You're gonna do something." The blonde remarked, crossing her arms in front of her as she threw him a suspicious look.

"Of course I'm gonna do something." Killian turned his attention back to the wooden door that hid the world's secrets. "The question is what."

"I don't know the question but I'm pretty sure about the answer." Emma leaned on her desk with a smirk playing on her lips. She inched closer to the boy. "You're getting expelled."

"Not unless someone rats me out." Killian turned back to Emma. If someone was going to tell on him, then it was definitely the blonde sitting next to him.

"Tell me what you're gonna do and I won't."

"I'll tell you if…" his lips curved into a sly smile. "You agree to play along."

"No way!"

"Then too bad…"

Emma scoffed before leaning back into her chair. Fine, if he wasn't going to tell her then it was his problem. She wasn't dying to know anyway. It wasn't like Mr. Locksley and Miss Mills were going to date, the idea was as impossible as Killian being an honor student. There was no way Emma was curious at all, absolutely no way…

Okay she was, maybe a little, curious.

"Fine, tell me!" She blurted out the words before she could stop herself.

"I knew you never could resist me…" Killian winked at her before leaning over to whisper in her ear. "So, we'll do it today after the last period ends."

While Killian informed Emma of his genius plan he had come up with just seconds ago, Robin stood leaning against the wall at the other end of the door as he raised his eyebrows in question at Regina.

"Well?"

"Don't level with the children Mr. Locksley, I'd like to believe I employ people who are better than that." Regina replied with a stern look before taking a step away from him. "Make them shut up and that's final."

Without throwing him another one of her famous looks, she turned on her heel and walked back to her office. It was a nice indication that she did not want any other comments coming from his part. However, that did not stop him from throwing her an amused look.

"Yes, ma'am." He muttered after her and did a mock salute, not even sure if she'd heard him or seen it.

#

It had been a tiring day. Robin knew that by the aching muscles in his body and eyes that hurt every time he blinked. With a sigh, he sat down on his desk and leaned back before shaking his head back to reality and starting to gather a variety of tests and homeworks he had to grade for the week. The last period had just come to an end, and after handing out the latest assignments, Robin had bid the students farewell who were just aching to get out of the class and head for the school buses that were waiting outside.

He gathered the sheets before putting them in his suitcase as he took off his reading glasses and rubbed his eyes. Maybe he could take a nap once he got home…

His thoughts were interrupted when he heard footsteps and before he knew it, he was face to face with Emma who was standing by the door and panting.

"Mr. Locksley!"

"Emma, what is it? Why aren't you at the bus?" he raised his head in question, already beggining to worry for the girl who stood before him.

"Mr. Locksley, you gotta come quick!" she spoke quickly like they were out of time.

"Why? What happened?" though he didn't need to hear the answer; he was already standing up.

"We were doing this thing and uhmm…" Emma started, averting her gaze as she started to run back into the hallway. "Someone lost this thing…"

Robin followed right suit with quick steps, not really sure what the girl was talking about. But if his students needed him, he was there without question. However, this time he doubted that it was serious.

"Emma!" he ran after her but she wasn't listening.

Once they turned right entered another hallway, Emma came to a stop in front of the door as she looked up to meet her teacher who was right behind.

"Emma, tell me what's wrong?" Robin asked once he came to stand next to her, looking around in worry. If someone was hurt, they shouldn't be wasting time.

"It's in there." Emma pointed at the door.

Robin turned to see that they were standing right in front of the janitor's closet, a tight space where Leroy used to keep his brooms and cleaning supplies. What could possibly be in there?

"What's in there Emma?" He turned his attention back to the girl who switched her gaze back and forth between him and the door. She also occasionally turned to glance at the other end of the hallways -but Robin did not notice that.

"Please, Mr. Locksley!" she pleaded once again. "You gotta get it!"

"Get what?" he asked once again in confusion as his hand reached up to open the janitor's closet. "What are you talking about?"

"You gotta go deeper!"

"For God's sake…"

Robin shook his head in disbelief but that did not stop him from moving further into the pitch black janitor's closet, making sure that he didn't bump into something.

"Emma, I see absolutely nothing-

That's when he heard it. High heels.

He immediately stood frozen in place in order to make sure. Regina was right outside the hallways and she was approaching rather fast. Before he had a chance to turn around to understand what the hell was going on, she entered the tight space after him and for a second she didn't even notice his presence.

"Killian, I don't understand. What fire? I don't see any fire." She spoke but before she could step out of the place, her eyes spotted him and she gasped in shock mixed with surprise.

"Mr. Locksley?" she frowned. "What are you doing here?"

"I should ask you the same." Robin spoke, barely making out her face from the lack of light in the room. He scoffed before taking a step towards the door. This was incredibly stupid. There was no point of him being here if the principal was handling the situation.

However before he had a chance to take one step out, the door slammed shut on his face and he jumped in surprise.

"What the hell?!" his hand went to the door handle as he tried it once. It did not open.

"What's going on?" Regina came to stand next to him as she banged on the door. "Killian!"

"I'm sorry Miss Mills, the door seems to be locked and we can't find the key!" came the voice from the other end of the door.

Robin's heart started beating faster in his chest as he banged on the door once more, just like his boss did. He had always been a calm guy, but now, this unrecognizable anger was starting build up inside of him and he used that power to bang on the door so hard that Regina jumped in fear.

"KILLIAN!" he yelled but then he paused.

Suddenly everything made sense. His mind first darted back to the conversation they had in class earlier that morning, how the every single one of his students pressured him to ask Regina out. Then he thought about the snake in the tent and her getting locked up in the bathroom and…

Oh my God.

"Killian! I know what you're trying to do and it won't work! Get us out now!" he yelled once again and watched as Regina's hand went to the handle in another fruitless attempt.

"Emma!" she yelled, still trying to understand what was going on.

But the silence was once again restored in the empty hallway and they heard nothing but their echo. Robin banged on the door one last time in anger before stepping back and leaning against the wall with a sigh. If they were doing what he thought that they were doing, there was no way Killian and Emma were coming back for a rescue.

They were stuck.

However that did not stop Regina from banging on the door at least a couple more times, oblivious to what was actually taking place.

"It won't work." Robin said, anger slowly beginning to subside only to be replaced with desperation.

"You don't know that." She replied without turning to him. She wouldn't have seen anything if she did since now the door was closed, the room was pitch black.

"I do." He sighed and brought a hand to his forehead. "Because I know what they're doing."

"Care to enlighten me?" she replied before realizing that yes the kids were indeed gone and they were left alone in the closet. She let out a frustrated sigh before stepping away from the door and leaning against the wall right opposite of Robin, though no matter how far they were standing away from each other, there was only a few short steps between them. Robin could even hear her breathe.

"Can't you see?" he explained. "They're trying to get us together. The snake in your tent, getting locked in the bathroom, even you coming to the field trip, it's all their fault."

His eyes were getting used to the darkness and he could now see the outline of her face as her eyes widened with surprise first. But then something much more feral replaced the shock and he realized that she was finally beginning to understand.

"Oh my God…" she murmured, more to herself than him. "Oh my god."

"Tell me about it…"

"How could we have been so stupid!" she brought her hands to her face as she groaned in frustration. "This is all your fault!"

"How is this my fault?!" he raised his hands in question.

"You were the one who gave them the idea!" she yelled, not caring if anyone heard her or not. Though no one would since they were practically the only ones left in the damn school.

"Me? How would I give them the idea when I barely even see you at school!"

"God, Robin!" she breathed out. "If you at least own an ounce of a brain matter…

"Okay, now you're being rude." He crossed his arms in front of him.

"Me? Being rude? Well, guess what? You deserved it!" she hissed at him but before he had a chance to open his mouth and defend himself, she spoke again. "First you hit on me in front of all the staff on my first day! My First Day! Then you make jokes and try to impress me with your unprofessionalism that is so through the roof that the students think that you're one of them."

"I-

"THEN you try and play the hero like a character from your damn novels! You think you can pick me up whenever you want and sweep me off my feet by saving the day!" she raised her voice.

"Regina, I…"

"Not only that, you think that what? Getting me to snuggle with you will somehow work? Wake up, Robin! This is not a book! You can't just get students to carry on your stupid pranks like this and expect me to fall for you! Because, guess what? I'm not interested!"

"Are you done?" he asked in a voice so calm that it was enough to send shivers down her spine.

"Yeah." She breathed out, eyes fixed on his.

Silence filled the air and for a second they stood staring deep into each others eyes before Robin lifted his weight off of the wall and took a step towards her.

"First of all, Regina," he articulated her name to get her attention. "I wasn't hitting on you that first day, I was trying to make you feel welcome here. Second, I never play the hero! You, somehow always end up playing the damsel in distress that leaves me no other choice but to help you. And finally, I had no idea of this little prank! If I had known… believe me, I would have done everything in my power to put an end to it because it seems no matter how nice I am to you, all I get in return is unjustified hatred! So guess what, I'm not that fond of you either!"

Robin had taken a step closer while talking and now he was standing right in front of her and there was now only few inches between their bodies.

He couldn't look away from her. No matter how much he tried, his gaze stayed fixed on her as she held his stare and parted her lips in surprise. She had heard every single thing he had said, he knew she did, but she refused utter a single word as she sucked in a sharp breath and flickered her gaze between his eyes and his lips.

The air between them was so thick with tension that Robin found it harder to breathe. Somewhere between them spitting their mutual disgust at each other, something had shifted and now there was not even an ounce of disgust was present. Instead, Robin found himself surrounded by desire but his mind was way too occupied on the woman in front of him to realize what had happened and when.

She did not speak. He desperately wished that she did, to get them out of this hopeless situation that they had found themselves stuck in but as he look at the beauty that was her eyes. And when she sucked in another sharp breath and licked her lips before pushing her chest forwards, he knew he was in trouble.

For the first time in his life, Robin Locksley was completely at a loss of words.

He did not know what she was thinking, he did not know what he was thinking either but suddenly he felt the cold touch of hand on his shirt and before he knew it, fingers opened the two buttons at the bottom of his shirt as she pulled the garment out of his pants which were securely tucked in. His mouth went dry as his gaze left her sharp brown eyes to find her lips, that she had a habit of biting when silent. It drove him to the edge.

She untucked his shirt and slipped a hand underneath it. Then suddenly Robin was met with a heavenly touch of a soft hand grazing against the skin on the side of his stomach before she pressed her palm against him and he struggled to breathe. It had only taken her seconds to make him lose control but by the looks of it, she was right there with him.

When she stroked the soft skin there Robin was intoxicated with the intimacy of the situation, and she drew in a stuttered breath that gave her away. She had absolutely no control over the situation either and the thought of it thrilled and yet scared Robin at the same time. But that did not stop him from licking his lips and placing a hand on the wall right next to her head, effectively pinning her against the wall.

Their bodies were aching to be touched and their lips were dying for a taste, but Robin stood frozen in place, not wanting the moment to come to an end since he knew that even one wrong move was enough to snap them out of their trances and they would be back to bitter reality.

Then all of a sudden, the hand inside her shirt curled around at the side of his stomach as she sank her nails into his skin and he felt his pants beginning to tighten. Taking another step closer to her so now there was no space between their bodies, he parted her legs with his knee and leaned down to-

Suddenly the door burst open and Robin jumped away from Regina who immediately drew her hand back as both of them turned to face their intruder.

"What are you two doing here?" Leroy, the janitor, raised his eyebrows in question as he switched his gaze back and forth between the two teachers who were both flushed and panting. He watched in confusion as Robin quickly tucked his shirt back into his pants before clearing his throat.

"Uhm, Leroy.. We were just, you know, waiting for you." Robin spoke, his voice a bit hoarse.

"Me?" the older guy smirked. "Looks like you already started without me."

"Excuse me." Regina shook her head before stepping out of the janitor's closet, without turning to glance at the man she was groping just seconds ago. Even though she looked completely flustered and her skin was glistening with sweat, she put on her mask before walking out. Robin followed suit.

They stood for a second, Leroy already going back into the closet to retrieve his things as Robin fixed his shirt and looked back up at Regina. Her gaze shifted down to his shirt now tucked securely back in his pants as she lifted her gaze up to meet his blue eyes again.

They did not utter a single word.

Brushing a hand through her hair, Regina fixed the nonexistent wrinkles on her skirt and cleared her throat before turning around and walking away.
