Author's Note: Written for the prompt 'Emma first kisses Regina out of jealousy wanting Regina to be hers not TInkerbelle's' over on Tumblr.
"You kissed me." Regina's lips are still tingling as she stares wide-eyed at Emma.
"Yeah." Emma's hands find their way into her back pockets and her eyes flit around so that she's looking anywhere but at Regina.
"Why?"
"Huh?" Emma looks up then, as though Regina is speaking French.
"Why did you kiss me?"
"Uh," Emma shifts uncomfortably under Regina's scrutiny, "because." It's more a question than an answer.
"Because why?" Regina presses, moving closer, and if she thinks that's going to help Emma think about anything other than kissing her again, she's dead wrong.
"Because I –" Emma's gaze lands on Tinkerbell, back at the campsite with the rest of the rag tag team they've assembled, for just a moment before she looks back, a sudden fire in her eyes. "Because I wanted to."
"Because you were jealous." Regina surmises with a smirk and raised eyebrow. "Of Tinkerbell. Of our complicated history."
"No." Emma protests, even as she wants to scream that 'complicated' is supposed to be their thing, not Regina and Tinkerbell's.
"Yes." And damn, Emma just wants to wipe that smug smirk off her face. Preferably with her lips.
"Does it really matter?" She huffs in annoyance.
"I don't know, dear. I suppose it depends on whether you plan to kiss me again or not." Regina replies, her own eyes now dancing away from Emma's gaze.
"Well, duh." Emma replies as she pulls Regina back in for another kiss. This time, Regina kisses her back with equal fervor and any thoughts of jealousy are quickly extinguished.
