I do not own any of these characters. They all belong to Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis, the creators of Once Upon a Time.

Killian was woken by the sound of his phone ringing from his bedside table. He reluctantly sat up in bed and answered the ringing phone.

"What do you want Humbert?" Killian asked.

"I am calling to tell you that we are set to fly to Brazil in a few days for filming," Graham replied.

"Oh," Killian said. He immediately thought of Emma. "How long for?"

"Well it depends on when we get finished but I'm guessing it will be around two to three weeks," Graham said.

Killian took a deep breath, "Okay. Thanks for telling me."

Killian hung up the phone and ran a hand through his hair. He wasn't going to be away for longer than he thought but he still didn't want to go. At all. He got up from his bed and walked into the living room. When Killian saw Emma still sleeping on the couch, he smiled. Killian walked into the kitchen and started busying himself making breakfast. When Emma started to stir Killian put on some coffee.

"Good morning," Killian said.

Emma rubbed at her eyes, "Morning."

"I made you some breakfast," said Killian. He handed her a cup of coffee.

Emma took the coffee, "Thank you." She took a seat on a stool and took a sip.

They were silent for a while. The only noise was the eggs in the frying pan sizzling away. Killian served up the breakfast and sat opposite her.

"I have to leave for Brazil in a couple of days," said Killian, trying to get a conversation going.

Emma stopped eating, "For how long?"

Killian scratched behind his ear, "For two, maybe three, weeks. Possibly longer."

"Will you maybe try and talk to me? I don't mean to sound clingy or anything but I-"

"I will. I promise," Killian said, grabbing her hand.

"Good."

When Emma was driving home she had thoughts running through her head. She was failing to see why she spilt her past to Killian. She had bottled it up for so many years but now it's as if she forgot the ability to do such a thing. When Emma got back to her apartment, she walked over to the kitchen counter where she had left her phone the night before. Ruby had left her a lot of messages.

Emma? I need to talk to you.

Emma why aren't you picking up? Is something wrong?

Please it's about Victor.

Emma stopped scrolling through the texts after she saw the last message and she immediately called Ruby.

"What's happened with Victor?" Emma asked.

"I'm not sure but we got into an argument and it wasn't fun," Ruby sighed.

"Do you want me to come over so we can talk about it?" asked Emma.

"Yes please," Ruby said.

"I'll be there as soon as I can," Emma said. She grabbed her keys and walked out the door. Within ten minutes Emma was sitting next to Ruby on Ruby's sofa.

"Tell me the whole story from start to finish," Emma said.

Ruby sighed, "It started when he came home from work. He had had to perform an operation that day and he was exhausted. When he came home I asked him how his day went and things like that and then all of a sudden he just starts shouting. I don't even remember what he was shouting for but I could tell he had been drinking, I just hope he hadn't been drinking before he performed that operation. I don't know what I did wrong Emma."

Emma wrapped a comforting arm around her friend's shoulders, "I'm sure you guys will get over this. He will come and apologise, just you wait."

"Enough about me though. Where were you last night and why weren't you answering your phone?" Ruby asked.

Emma played with her hair for a second before answering, "I went to see Killian."

"And you stayed the night?" Ruby said, smirking.

"Yes," Emma said.

"What were you guys doing?" Ruby asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I went over because I hadn't spoken to him since we kissed," Emma explained. "Nothing else."

"So why did you stay the night?" asked Ruby.

"Because we were watching a movie and I fell asleep on the sofa," Emma said.

Ruby laughed, "I believe you. Don't worry."

Emma just rolled her eyes as her friend laughed but she soon started laughing with her.

With only a few hours to go before Killian left for Brazil he found himself not wanting to go. He knew it was inevitable but that just made him even more reluctant to go. Killian started throwing clothes into his suitcase as he quietly hummed to himself. Once his bags were packed, he entered his living room, picked up his guitar and sat on the spot where Emma had slept only a few days before. As he randomly strummed some notes, his thoughts were filled with Emma. Emma sitting opposite him at a restaurant. Emma laughing at something he had said. He shook his head in an attempt to clear his mind. She hadn't tried to contact him since she left his house that morning. Maybe he had done something wrong.

When Killian arrived at the airport, he caught up with Graham at a coffee shop. They had decided to wait for a while before going through security as the line seemed too long at the moment.

"So it's for at least two weeks?" Killian asked, taking a sip of his coffee.

"Yes but it's more likely to be around three," Graham replied. "Why are you so reluctant to leave? Is this because of Emma?"

Killian sighed before nodding.

"You heard what Regina said, Killian. Emma can't effect your work," Graham said.

"Aye. I know," Killian sighed and set down his coffee on the table in front of him.

Graham reached into his bag and produced a magazine on the table, "Have you seen this?"

"No. I can't say I have," Killian said. On the front cover of the magazine was Emma leaving Killian's house the morning after she had fallen asleep on his sofa.

"You need to be careful, Killian. Trashy magazines will publish anything for publicity. Fake or real," Graham said.

"How did they even get this?" Killian asked, grabbing the magazine out of Graham's hands.

"How should I know? But this just goes to show what people will do for publicity," Graham explained.

Killian knew Graham was right. He should probably talk to Emma about it when he next sees her. Or phone her as he won't be seeing her in person for a few weeks. Graham and Killian sat for a while talking about the movie and drinking coffee. They were talking about the costumes when Graham stopped talking mid-sentence and smiled.

"What are you smiling about, Humbert?" Killian asked.

"Oh nothing. But I think someone is here to see you," Graham said with a smile on his face.

Killian looked behind him and saw Emma standing about thirty meters away looking about frantically. Killian smiled and excused himself and walked towards her. When Killian got to her, she threw her arms around his torso.

"I'm sorry for not texting you or anything. Ruby has been having a pretty rough time at the moment and I was busy helping her," Emma said into his neck.

"It's okay," Killian said, holding her tighter. He then stepped back and looked her dead in the eye. "I thought you were staying away because you now knew how bad a chef I am."

Emma laughed and grabbed the collar of his jacket and pulled him into a kiss, not caring about all the people that could see them. Killian kissed her back and Emma wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him in closer. Killian then remembered that they were in a public place and pulled away. Emma looked up at him with a pout on her face.

"Why did you stop?" She asked.

Killian kissed her forehead and smiled, "Because we are in public and those kisses are meant for more private places."

When Killian waggled his eyebrows, Emma smiled and punched him in the arm, "When is your flight?"

"A few hours yet but we are going to go through security in about twenty minutes," Killian said with a slight frown on his face.

"Hey, don't get all upset. We can still talk when you aren't here," Emma said with an encouraging smile.

"I'll smile for you then," Killian said. "Come and sit with us for a while before we go through security."

Emma gave him a smile, "Okay."

Killian was surprised at how well Emma got on with Graham. He wasn't jealous, he was just glad there would be no conflict between the two of them. When the time came for Killian and Graham to go through security, Killian gave Emma a long hug.

"I'll see you soon, okay?" Killian whispered into Emma's hair. Killian felt her nod on his shoulder and he hugged her harder. Killian gave her another kiss.

"Promise you will try and talk to me everyday?" Emma said after the kiss.

"I will try my very hardest," Killian said, holding out his pinkie.

Emma raised her eyebrow but grabbed his pinkie with hers anyway. Killian kissed her forehead and walked towards security.
