a/n: Based off a tumblr prompt from jadeddiva who asked for "Based on your user name: I have a fierce and mighty need for a bookstore romance - AU or show, Emma and Killian in a bookstore being adorable."

Emma sat in a large, comfy chair tucked into a corner of the bookshop. She had two books tucked into the side of the cushion and was flipping through another, waiting for Killian to finish perusing the stacks so they could head to the registers and pay. She'd found an interesting travel book with plenty of pictures and was quickly filling in her mental list of places they could go. Her family had been surprised that they weren't going on a cruise or to a beach resort for their honeymoon, but when they'd talked about it Killian had been insistent of some degree of sight-seeing and Emma, well, Emma didn't like handing the reins of her first vacation in years over to anyone else.

So a Great American Road Trip it was — if her soon-to-be husband would ever finish choosing some books for the trip. They'd been at the store for well over an hour by this point with no sight or sound from him once they'd gone their separate ways. She was beginning to wonder if he hadn't gotten lost or been crushed by a wayward bookshelf.

As though (finally) summoned by her thoughts, Emma glanced up from her travel book to see him coming towards her, a stack of over half a dozen tome in his arms.

She frowned and closed her book. "I thought we agreed on no more than four each. Where are we going to pack these?"

"It was hard enough just selecting these. But they don't all have to be for the trip, love."

"If you would let me buy you a kindle or something we wouldn't even have this problem."

Killian crouched to set his books down in a neat stack by her feet and leaned towards her instead of getting back up. "It's not the same. And I doubt I'll need much distraction or entertainment on the trip. Given that it will, after all, be our honeymoon — there's only one way I plan on occupying my time."

He had kissed his way across her shoulder and up her neck as he spoke and Emma didn't bother to hide her shudder as he sucked gently on her pulse point.

"I distinctly remember you wanting to go places and see things on our honeymoon. Which means I'll be occupying my time with driving places."

"Not my fault you refuse to be toured by one of those companies."

"Now you want company on our honeymoon?" she teased.

Killian drew back from his nuzzling to meet her eyes, his expression all sincerity as he tucked a piece of hair behind her ear. "No, love. I just want you."

She smiled and leaned in to kiss him sweetly.

He grinned as he drew back and tapped the book in her lap with the side of his hook. "Now, show me what you chose, love. Perhaps I'll be able to put one of these back."
