Day 10: Kiss me, quick

"Kiss me, quick!"

The words startled Emma, but there was no time for her to react before Will Scarlett launched at her face.

Emma was too in shock to move and didn't respond for the first few seconds. Eventually her brain caught back up with her and Emma moved her hands to push him away, when Will was bodily ripped from their momentary embrace.

She blinked a couple times, confused to see her usually very calm and logical best friend attempting to give Will a black eye while Will dodged blows, laughing hysterically.

"You are a complete arse!" Killian yelled at Will's retreating back, still shaking from his laughter.

He turned back to Emma and she watched him for a moment, his chest heaving with every breath.

"I'm sorry, love. He's…the idiot thinks I have fe…he's just…that was all about me and had nothing to do with you."

Killian's posture slumped from his defensive position and slipped into an awkward slouch. He agitatedly pulled at the hair at the base of his neck, alerting Emma to his true distress.

"So I shouldn't go after him and beat the crap out of him?" she asked, hoping to put her best friend at ease. Will did stupid things all the time.

"I mean," Killian's smile was back, "I wouldn't say no to giving him a good thrashing."

"He's not a bad kisser, though," Emma said with a shrug.

Killian's head whipped up from where he had been inspecting his shoes, just in time to catch her teasing grin. He rolled his eyes at her before pulling Emma into a hug.

"He's a tosser," he mumbled into her hair.

"I know," she reassured him, returning the hug.

A/N: This is complete nonsense haha. I imagine college student Killian with his new best friend Emma that he is desperately in love with and scared to do anything to push her away...
