Twister
butterflykisses0 set me quite the challenge by asking for a oneshot in which Snow and Charming catch Hook, Emma, Regina and Robin in an awkward situation. I like a challenge, so I thought I'd give this a go. I'm not so great at telling where things lie on the ratings line, so I'll be cautionary with this and say it's somewhere about T+ so you have been warned!
"Have you got the stew?" Snow asked David as they got out of the car. He nodded.
"Yes love, go on, lead the way."
Emma had finally found an apartment in Storybrooke she approved off and Snow was worried she would be filling herself with junk food, so decided to cook her a stew and bring it over. They made their way up the stairs until they got to number six b, before Snow opened the door.
"Only m- oh my!" She shouted, suddenly alarmed. She quickly shut the door again and turned round to head down the stairs. David noticed her face was bright red.
"Snow, what's going on?" He asked her.
"Nothing." Snow squeaked. "Let's go home."
David was sure he didn't want to know what was going on in there, but he was even surer he didn't want it going on at all.
"I'm coming in!" David warned.
"David!" Snow tried, rushing forward, but it was too late. He'd burst into the room and immediately wanted brain bleach. The furniture had been pushed to the side. There was a twister board set out in the middle of the floor. Hook was sitting on a chair with the twister wheel, grinning sheepishly at him. Regina and Robin were giggling together just off the side of the board. Robin was shirtless. And then, sitting upright in the middle of the board just in her bra and a pair of denim shorts, was Emma. She held her hands up when she saw David.
"Hi daddy!" She said merrily. Snow came in quickly behind him. "And mommy!" Emma said before getting herself into a laughing fit. David looked angrily at Hook.
"All three of them are completely hammered!" He shouted. Hook grinned.
"Well Swan wanted to invite Regina and…blackbird or whatever his name is…round to mend bridges. They were having a lot of wine to try and rid themselves of the awkwardness and I suggested the game. Swan had explained it to me a few nights ago after we tried something a little new… anyway, I suggested adding an extra element.
"So I see." David said through gritted teeth. He held the door open.
"Regina, Robin, out." He told them. "Go sober up before Henry's back from his school trip tomorrow."
"Party pooper!" Emma exclaimed as Regina and Robin gathered their things before swaggering out of the apartment. David turned his attention back to Hook as Snow helped Emma back into her tank top.
"Really? I knew you were a bit of a sleaze Captain, but while she's completely hammered?" David's hand balled into a fist. Killian held up his hand, and hook, in defence.
"Save your punches, mate. You've not got it quite right. Why would I want to do anything while she's this out of it? Where's the fun in that while she can't remember!" David could tell although Hook wasn't completely drunk he'd obviously had something to drink. He wouldn't be quite this open otherwise. "I play the gentleman tomorrow, help her with her hangover and then I start to play my cards." Killian said, he grinned, turning to Emma. "I'm thinking we'll leave this board out. Then I'm thinking Swan will be right hand yellow, left hand yellow. Right knee blue, left knee blue. While I'll be right foot red, left foot red." He said, winking at Emma who just giggled. David stepped forward to punch him.
"David, stop!" Snow told him. "He's drunk too, he wouldn't say that in front of you otherwise. Let it go." David reluctantly walked back. He went over to Emma and picked her up.
"Why am I flying?" Emma asked.
"You're staying at ours for the next couple of days. Ain't no way he's looking after your hangover." David said carrying her out the door. Snow gave Killian a very disapproving look.
"What?" He asked. "Would you recommend another combination on the board for Swan and I?" Snow rolled her eyes and followed her husband and daughter out.
