Fussing

Amyasked for a oneshot of Emma snapping over Snow fussing over her so much, going a bit too far in her rant. Snow decides to lay off Emma for a while. At first, Emma enjoys it, but eventually, she misses her mom fussing over her. She ends up pretending to be sick just to get Snow to do it again and it works.

Ryla and Guest (x2): I suspect you're the same person. Please choose one request to ask for. When you do, could you do us a favour and not demand it off me? Thanks.

Jo x: Sorry, but I've never seen love island and, even if I had, not sure I could write that for you.

Sorry I've not posted as much lately, lads. I had my grad ball (yes, I was at an actual ball lol) yesterday, I graduate on Friday and life has just been so hectic lately. And, if I'm honest, I was struggling to feel motivated to write for the Charmings. But my pal and I spent the morning watching the musical episode and I think that's given me the boost I needed to get back to it!

Emma felt awful. She hadn't meant to be so brutal with her remarks. She just…snapped. Emma wasn't used to someone hovering over her. She knew her mom just cared about her, but Emma didn't know how to cope with someone fussing over her. Now Emma had really blown it. Ever since Emma had gone off at her mom, she had barely said a word to her. She had completely backed off, as she thought Emma wanted. Emma heavily regretted it now. Especially since the lack of her mother's fussing made her realise something…she liked it. She liked feeling cared for. She liked that she finally had parents who cared enough to fuss. It was just those stupid walls of hers making her feel like she had to reject their love. Now Emma didn't know how to get things back on track with her mom. So she pulled out an old trick she hadn't used since she was a child. She pretended to be sick.

Snow was no idiot. She knew Emma was faking her illness. Clearly, she had seen Ferris Bueller as a child. Her symptoms seemed identical to his. Snow didn't mind. She understood. She had maybe come on a bit strong sometimes. Emma had hit self-destruct and was trying to fix it all. So if a few days of caring for a fake illness sorted that, Snow was ok with that. So she fussed like she had never fussed before, and Emma didn't complain once.
