Killian and Robin were enjoying a beer together when Emma came home from work, grocery bags in hand. At the sight of her carrying the heavy load, both men jumped to their feet, leaving the beers behind and rushing to her side, taking the bags from her instantly. She gave them a smile and laughed a little. "Anyone would think that I was injured or incapable." She teased. They simply laughed back and placed the bags on the kitchen counter for her. Killian wrapped an arm around her waist and brought her in close for a kiss, which she gladly reciprocated. When they broke apart, she looked over at Robin who had picked up his beer once more. "Where's Regina?" She asked curiously, taking a swig of her husband's beer bottle.
"She'll be heading home, which means I should be too." He commented, glancing at his watch. Killian shook his head in protest. "We were just getting started mate!" He cried out, looking slightly frustrated. He wanted his friend to stay longer, it wasn't often that anyone in Storybrooke had time to relax and socialize with their friends. "Call her mate, invite her over. You should both stay for dinner." He said suddenly, grinning at the thought of a solution. Robin glanced at Emma and shook his head. "Oh, I wouldn't want to impose...Emma, you've just come home, you must be exhausted." Emma grinned and shook her head. "No, call her...it'd be nice to get to hang out with Regina other than when we're fighting evil together...and if you leave now, I'm going to have a pouting husband all night and he's no fun when he's moping." She laughed. Robin gave in and nodded, pulling out his cellphone. "I won't be a second then." He told them, excusing himself from the room. As soon as they were alone, Emma wrapped her arms around Killian's neck and nuzzled his nose with hers. "I'm not cooking for four people, not after the day I've had. But I will call Granny." She grinned, placing a kiss to his lips.
"I knew I married you for a reason." He replied, giving a cheeky smile. She didn't reply, but gave a little playful shove, taking the beer from his hand and walking away with it, taking a long sip.
It wasn't long before Regina was over with a bottle of wine and a basket of apples. "I know you don't eat them as a family rule, but I figured that Killian would eat anything." She grinned, handing the wine and apples over. "Thank you, and you're right." Emma laughed, hugging Regina as a welcome. The women disappeared into the kitchen together, chatting about some event at school that Henry was involved with. Robin and Killian watched them go, fresh beers in their hands and then they turned to each other and laughed. "Mate, get a grip." Killian laughed, and was immediately shoved by Robin. "You're the one making eyes at the girl all the time. At least I keep it professional in public with Regina."
"I do not make eyes at her! She makes eyes at me!" Killian protested, smirking none the less. Robin shook his head and nudged Killian once more. "Believe me, you're both as bad as each other."
Killian laughed and walked slowly into the kitchen where the women were. As he walked past Emma, he pressed a kiss to her cheek and she gave him a flirty smile, her eyes full of happiness.
"I rest my case." Robin murmured as he entered, causing Emma to raise an eyebrow in confusion.
"What's this?" Regina asked curiously, wanting to know why her boyfriend was proving something to Emma's, as that usually spelt out trouble or mischief. Robin grinned and pecked her on the cheek, settling at one of the bar stools.
"Forest boy here seems to think that I make eyes at Swan." Killian admitted, flashing Emma a smile. Regina simply laughed and looked from Emma to Killian.
"You do. God, you both do. You're like a pair of teenagers having eye sex all the time. And you," She said, pointing at Killian, "you are always saying stuff to her that you think no one else can hear, but my Gods can we hear it and I think that you need to get your mind out of the gutter because some of the stuff that comes out of that mouth makes me shudder and I was the Evil Queen for a very long time."
Killian looked open to object, but stopped short of any words leaving his mouth. "Fine. You're both right. I am in love with Emma Ruth Swan and I'm not shy about it. But, in my fairness, I've waited a bloody long time for a woman like Emma and I don't want her to her think that there's not a second in which I am not thinking of her."
Emma smirked a little and tried to hide the blush rising in her cheeks. Her eyes flickered up to meet Killain's as she gave him a silent thank you.
"There you go again with those damn eyes." Robin teased, bringing his beer bottle to his lips. Killian laughed out loud and ran his fingers though his hair. "You should be glad that we do the eyes, because if you knew what she just promised me for later, then you'd have bleeding ears." He grinned. Emma let out a laugh and shook her head. "You're insane." She told him, throwing a tea towel at him. He caught it easily, but the war had already begun.
He quickly caught her in his arms and tickled her sides as she squirmed and tried to escape. She managed to push him away, but the wine glass that had been next to her spun out of control at the sudden movement and splashed up his front. Regina laughed and moved out of the way as soon as possible, standing next to Robin which was hopefully a little safer. "Kids..." She muttered as a joke, which stirred a laugh from him.
Killian was after Emma like a shot, since she'd fled the kitchen, desperately trying to get away from him and his tickling hands.
"I'm sorry that was an accident I swear!" She shouted out behind her as she ran, hoping that it would some how call a truce. Killian ignored her apology and continued to chase her around the house. Eventually, Emma found her was back into the kitchen and hid behind Regina's back, hands splayed on her back to keep her in front of her.
"Stop him with your magic." Emma panted behind her as Killian entered the room. Regina laughed and did as she had been told, freezing the pirate in his steps, all bar his face.
"Wha-?" He cried out, suddenly extremely confused. Emma stood up properly from behind Regina and gave her a grateful nod.
"We've got company...and you're acting worse than Henry in the ice cream store. When he was ten." Emma grinned, scruffing Killian's hair as she walked up to him.
"So Regina's gunna unfreeze you, and then you're going to get your pirate booty up those stairs and you're going to change and then come back down here acting like the pirate I know you are. An adult one." She grinned. "Because if not, you're sleeping under stars alone tonight."
