Anonymous: Robin wakes up after their first night since the curse is broken. She saw Alice in her arms.( after last episode it's clear that Alice is the little spoon) she thinks about how much she loves Alice,her cursed life without her. How they always know each other. Basically romantic stuff in Robin's head while she watch and adore peacefully sleeping you write a CA Short from it?Watching the person you love sleep and thinking about it is just way too full of we chose love!

"Tilly… Come on… We have to go." Robin said, reaching for her, but before she could touch her shoulder, a barrier appeared and threw her arm back, causing her to stumble. "Tilly!" She snapped fearfully.

"No." Tilly said coldly, not even looking at her. "I don't want to leave."

The woman to her right shook before vanishing in a flash of light, transforming into a tall looming tree that towered over their heads, joining the others and slowly trapping them inside like a cage. If Robin didn't get out now, she'd be trapped there, forever, left to starve to death with no light and no possible escape. But she couldn't leave, not without Tilly.

"Tilly!" Robin gasped desperately, reaching for her only to be blast back again. She hit the floor this time and looked up just as Tilly's body began to shake and glow. "NO!"

O*U*A*T

Robin woke with a sharp gasp but was too petrified to move, leaving her frozen in place. Luckily this meant she didn't disturb Alice, lying in her arms.

The sight of her true love, safe and sound by her side, nearly made Robin burst into happy tears. Instead she kept quiet and just smiled a shaky smile, leaning forward, pressing her lips softly against the back of her neck where her hair had fallen to the side and exposed the soft skin underneath. She let her body relax against her pillow but found she could no longer sleep, the nightmare hanging over her, even knowing they were finally safe.

They were in the apartment above Roni's bar where Regina had been allowing Margot to stay during the curse. Alice had to move out of the place she had been sharing with her father now that there was magic and his curse had come back into affect. She had been heartbroken, crying over it for hours once they were safely out of the sight of their other friends and family. Robin had done what she could, but in the end, all she could do was hold her and make promises they both knew she couldn't keep.

Robin pressed her lips together and carefully did what she could to roll Alice over. Normally Alice was a light sleeper but today had been a long day and she barely let out an irritable moan before she was snuggling back down, curling up against Robin and pressed her face into her shoulder. Now she could see her face, Robin leaned over and took a deep breath of the shampoo still freshly rinsed from her love's hair. Everything about her, the way she fit so perfectly into her arm, how warm she was against her body, how sweet she smelled, was perfect. So much so that Robin felt guilty. Because the curse hadn't actually been so bad for Alice, at least not towards the end when she and her father had unknowingly found each other. They had been living together and almost happy. There was probably a part of Alice sad the curse had been broken while Robin was nothing but relieved for it.

During her long years in the curse, Margot had been searching for something. She hadn't realised at the time, but she was searching for Alice. She had travelled from one point of the country to the other, met new people, made new friends, and still she had been miserable. No place ever felt like home. She was uncomfortable in every bed she slept in. Every meal she had felt like cardboard in her mouth. Every person she grew close to was still miles away from her emotionally. It took her all two years of the curse before she realised that none of that could fill the void in her heart and then she had received a call from her mother, asking her to come home. It had seemed like a sign and Margot didn't have much else holding her back, so she returned. But even then it didn't feel right.

Things only started to feel right when she met Tilly. In that moment when she saved her life from the car, she felt a thrill. Margot had assumed it was the pleasure of saving a life, and being a momentary hero but really it had been seeing the thing she had lost. And then she had gone cold again, partly because her mother was keeping secrets and partly because she still felt hollow. That only changed after she had gone down to the Rollin' Bayou. Once again she met with Tilly and that cold feeling hanging over her vanished, and she continued to grow warmer as she and Tilly shared their date not long after.

Even when Tilly had run off before their date was over because of her bad day, Margot had been worried and upset, but no longer hollow. Almost like she knew that she and her would find their way back to each other and, sure enough, Tilly had shown up at the bar that very evening with a plate of candy in her hands and a cute smile on her face.

In fact things had been too intense. Margot had realised, after she put the bracelet on Tilly and felt Tilly's fingers brush against her, that she was in love with her. Which had been crazy at the time since they barely knew each other and Margot had forced herself to pull away, trying to slow things down. Of course, that didn't work, and her love for the other girl only became more assured, which was why she didn't question the crazy stuff she saw when Weaver and Rogers took her down to the cave where Tilly and the other women had been.

"Mmmm…" Alice moaned, face creasing slightly.

Robin tensed as she realised she'd been tightening her hold, squeezing Alice close against her. Her mind flashed back to the nightmare. Even in her cursed state, she had been terrified of losing Tilly in that moment in the cave, and even now they were safe, that fear was lingering with her.

There were no words for when they were reunited. Despite Alice's reassurance before the curse was cast, Robin had feared she would never see her again, so when she was proven wrong, when the curse was broken and she saw her love standing a few steps in front of her… Robin felt like she could have fainted from the intense pressure of the happiness weighing down on her. Instead she had taken off her glasses, showing Alice that she was back. She wasn't Margot any more, she was Robin again. And hearing her name come from Alice's lips… The memory left Robin almost as breathless as she had been at the time.

Now, staring down at her sleeping face, Robin smiled and reaching a hand to stroke the side of her face. She would never doubt Alice again. She would never doubt that they would always know each other, that they would always be together. Their love was so strong, nothing would ever be able to keep them apart. Robin could die tomorrow, and she would linger by Alice's side as a ghost until the time when her love finally joined her again.

"How did I get so lucky?" Robin whispered, still gazing at Alice's sleeping face and stroking a strand of her blonde hair between her thumb and finger.

That was the question though, wasn't it? Robin had never before loved someone in the way she loved Alice. She'd never thought it possible. She saw the way Mary-Margaret and David always looked at each other and she had wondered how anyone could possibly feel as strongly as they did. After a while, and many bad relationships that barely lasted long enough to even be called a relationship, Robin had accepted she would never find the Snow White to her Prince Charming. She had assumed her life would be that of a loner. Someone who did her own thing and was happy that way, like the fairies or Granny. None of them needed anyone in their lives, and Robin had thought she was the same.

Then she met Alice. Even before she had fallen head over heels in love with her, Robin had been strongly impressed by the other girl. She'd heard so much about her before finding her that day. All the stories, all the tales, all the memories shared about the girl who had survived so much isolation and had still come out as cheerful and loving as ever. If the roles were reversed, Robin felt she was more likely to grow up a villain than a pure hearted soul like Alice was.

"I love you…" Robin whispered.

Alice's lips pulled into a sleepy smile like she could hear her and Robin's heart fluttered in her chest. She grinned and leaned over, kissing her softly.

In that moment, she could see their future in Alice's sleeping face. She could see them on their wedding night, exhausted and excited at the same time. She could see them on their honeymoon, travelling somewhere the sun always shone and lying on the hot sand of the open beach. She could see them returning to a home of their own. She could see them having children, and raising them with as much love as they had for each other. She could even see them growing old, and knew that no matter how many wrinkles they earned or grey hairs they grew, Robin would still look at Alice's sleeping face with the same complete and utter adoration as she did now.

And with all those thoughts of the future in mind, Robin rest her face against Alice's and shut her eyes, returning to sleep. No more nightmares this time. Only wonderful memories and trust what was yet to come, to take their place.
