Prompt from OTPPrompts tumblr : Imagine Person A of your OTP is taking a bubble bath while Person B sits on the edge of the tub talking to them. It could be about anything. They could just be making general chit chat about their respective days or they could be discussing a more serious matter. It's up to you.
It had been so cold today, like colder than cold. That cold that gets down all the way into your bones and veins and you think you'll never be warm again. And Emma was one of those people who wondered if she'd forever be cold, especially with this magical winter that seemed to have taken over the town yet again. She had spent all day trying to find Elsa who had gotten yelled at the day before about the still erstwhile control of her magic, causing her to have a meltdown and run into the woods. So after yelling at Regina that not everyone is perfect amongst other things, Emma had begun searching for the ice princess in hopes of calming her friend down. But after a day of searching combined with the decrease of temperature and increase of frozen flakes falling from the sky, Emma was forced to call it a day and head back to her apartment that she shared with her boys. All she wanted to do was enjoy a glass of wine, take a warm bath and curl up with her nice, warm pirate.
As if summoned by a single thought, Killian appeared on her walk back to the apartment with his arms laden with grocery bags. "Well hello there milady. May I escort you back to your lovely abode on this fine wintery day?" his deep voice called over as he crossed the street to join her.
Emma just smiled and took some of the bags that were hanging from his hook before heading off toward their apartment in a comfortable silence. This had become a sort of tradition of theirs, to walk home together. It had been a sort of impromptu tradition when Killian had been hired as the harbormaster and given a desk at the sheriff station once the madness finally died down and the town became as normal as it could be considering whom its inhabitants were.
After they arrived at the apartment and put the bags on the counter, Emma watched as Killian disappeared in the master suite but chose to think nothing of it. Most likely he was changing into sweats since it was the weekend and Henry was at Regina's for the time being. She proceeded to put away the food in to the fridge and pantry in the places they belonged. It wasn't until she was putting the last bag away into the trash that she looked to see where exactly her pirate had run off to.
Heading up to the bedroom, Emma looked around to see Killian, stripped down to some gray sweatpants with his brace and hook on the nightstand, standing by the bathroom door with a mischievous grin on his face. He had the door closed but Emma could hear the sound of running water coming from behind him.
"Fancy seeing you here love," Killian spoke smirking.
"What's up?" Emma asked slowly.
"Nothing swan. I just thought my lady love would like a nice warm bath to combat the winter weather we've been graced with once again."
Emma was speechless, but she was surprisingly not shocked. She was, as he always said, an open book to him. Of course he knew exactly what she was craving after a long day in the cold. Emma could only wrap her arms around him in a tight hug before placing a soft kiss on his chest over his heart while whispering a soft thank you.
"Anything for my swan. Now off you pop while I pour you a glass of wine." Killian said, smiling before giving Emma a gentle shove toward the bathroom door.
Emma just nodded and smiled, watching him saunter off to the kitchen before turning to enter the bathroom and take in the sight before her. He must have already had this planned because there were a few lit candles on the window sill by the toilet and the whole bathroom had a faint hint of vanilla and cinnamon to it. And the actual tub was almost full to the brim with water and bubbles. Killian hadn't just drawn a bath; he had drawn a bubble bath. 'As if he wasn't perfect enough,' Emma thought to herself as she began to shed all the layers she had pulled on that morning. Having already discarded the beanie, boots, and heavy coat by the door; Emma only had to discard the sweater, tank, jeans, leggings and undergarments before slipping into the warm bubble bath.
Emma sank in and let out a deep sigh of contentment at the perfect temperature of the bubble bath. She knew it would be this nice. Not too hot and not too cold but just right. Odds are he even used a bath thermometer to make it this perfect, perfectionist pirate that he was. Speaking of the pirate, Killian entered with a bottle of wine under his arm and two empty wine glasses in his hand.
"Is the temperature good, Emma love?" Killian asked with a soft smile.
Emma nodded before taking the wine glass he offered her as he sat down on the floor next to the tub across from her so he could look at her. Killian then opened the bottle and poured wine into both glasses before placing it to the side.
"So, how was your search? Did you find Elsa?" he asked after a few minutes of comfortable silence.
"It was a bust for once. I checked all the normal places, the barn, Anna and Kristoff's cabin by the stables, the actual stables where Sven is, even the forest. I don't know where she went. I'm getting worried about her now that it's been over 24 hours. Henry was with me for a while after class, and now Kristoff is searching with Sven in some of the other parts of the forest. Robin let the merry men that are still residing in the forest, even after all this time. I know I'm making this a bigger deal than it is, but I'm worried about her. It was unfair what Regina said to her."
"Emma love, calm down. It'll be alright. Elsa is a strong and independent woman who can take care of herself. She will be just fine. If anyone can survive in this winter, it's Elsa. I'm sure she will be back soon. As for Regina, remember that she is hormonal due to her carrying Hood's child. So it would be best to cut her some slack. Aye?"
"Aye" Emma said with a small smile as she took a sip of wine. Emma had already forgiven Regina in her mind, especially after everything that had happened the last couple years between the Wicked Witch, accidentally bringing back Marian and magic lessons for both Emma and Elsa. The evil queen and the outlaw had made up and gotten married about 6 months ago, soon after Regina had found out she was with child. Emma and Henry had moved shortly after she returned home from the past before almost forcing killian to move in with them a few months later. And then here they were a year and half later, a steady and stable relationship.
"So how was your day while I was traipsing all over town?"
"Not as eventful as yours, love. Due to the cold, not many ships were in or out of the harbor so my day was quite boring. I believe your father and I played darts after lunch while Robin was on his patrol."
"That sounds like fun. Normally you don't tell the sheriff though when her deputy is goofing off, you know," Emma spoke, smiling as she placed the now empty wine glass on the floor.
"Aye but normally the deputy is not the father of the lovely sheriff who has two deputies in our now sleepy small town." Killian chuckled before lacing his hand with the one of Emma's that was resting on the edge of the tub. "So what did you want to do this weekend, since the lad is with Regina and Robin and your parents have yet to call and ask us to baby sat the princeling."
"Well originally I wanted to go for a sail but that was before Elsa froze the town and therefore the docks."
"We can go for a sail anytime, love. I promise. So now that the town is back to being a wintery wonderland, may I suggest a lazy weekend?"
Emma pretended to mull it over for a few seconds, "Sounds great. Now shoo and call for Chinese. I need to get out before the bath gets cold. But killian, thank you for the bath and the wine, it was perfect." She said softly, pulling him in for a soft, chaste kiss before pushing him out of the bathroom.
