This is enough
-2-
Not so magical breakdown
It took them two months to both find a job. Robin became a youth leader at the local scouting club, showing and teaching kids everything about the forest, something he was naturally good at. And Regina became a teacher at the horse riding school, mostly so she was able to look after the horses there and ride herself, but most importantly to stay far away from every possible opportunity to get recognized. The risk of people recognizing them from the pictures on the internet was just to big. And Regina had no idea what scientists or anyone else would do to them once they found out they were from Storybrooke. It wouldn't provide them with a lot of money, but with the money they brought from Storybrooke it would be enough for their little family. Roland went to school, something Regina struggled with a lot at the beginning. Leaving him there didn't feel right at all, but the way Roland had burst with enthusiasm his first morning, the way he almost forgot to tell them goodbye before he ran into the building, the way he didn't stop talking about it for the rest of the day, it calmed her down. One of them was always home for Luna, neither of them had liked the idea of bringing her to day care and so they managed their schedules in a way to make sure Luna was never alone.
It had happend a few times every day since they got here, Regina waving her hand, snapping her fingers, doing anything she would normally do to use her magic. Only to come to the realization nothing would happen. Robin had watched her as she laughed it away, but he always noted the way her brows frowned just a bit, the hint of hurt he saw on her face as there was no sign of magic. But he never told her, knowing she would convince him it was nothing, knowing she would never admit how much she missed it.
And this day is a day like that, after Regina cane home from work she went straight to the bedroom, she is late but Robin doesn't mention it instead he gives her a few minutes to calm down since she obviously looked frustrated when she entered the house. He already brought the kids to bed and decides to put the dinner he saved for her in the microwave. He waits a few more minutes and then makes his way to their bedroom, finding her on the bed, sobbing.
'My love.' He whispers and puts the plate down before sitting next to her, wiping a few tears from her cheeks. 'I can't get my clothes off.' She sobs, making him frown as he doesn't really understands what she's saying. 'And I stink.' She says as she moves her head so his hand leaves her cheek. She always says that when she spend her day surrounded by horses, and yes, he can smell the horses but he doesn't mind, even likes it. As he likes the way she looks in her riding clothes, the way there often is a piece of hay in her hair, the way she braids her, still growing, dark hair, he likes it all.
He then realizes what she means, suddenly remembers their time in Storybrooke, the way she would wave her hand to make all her clothes disappear after a long day at work. The way she would fill the bathtub with just a snap of her fingers, and the way her nightgown would the magically appear before she got into bed next to him and let him hold her as the stress left her body and so he decides that he can be her magic tonight.
He starts with unbuttoning her jacked, making her open her eyes to curiously look at him. He then takes off her boots and puts them in their place, knowing how much she dislikes it when they aren't where they're suppose to be. He unbuttons the first buttons of her shirt and then lifts it over her head with a little help on her behalf. He takes a small break to place a kiss on her lips and then takes his sweet time to slide the riding leggings down her legs. He takes off her socks, a clothing piece that's new since she traded her high heels for boots.
He lays next to her admiring her beauty as she just stares at him. 'Aren't you gonna finish?' She asked tiredly making him smile before he moves his hand to her back and unhooks her bra in one swift motion. He slides his hand down her side to her hip and hooks his finger under the lace fabric of her panties before lowering that same fabric down her legs, leaving her completely naked. 'I'm gonna prepare your bath.' He drops a kiss on her forehead and goes to the bathroom.
When he returns she's eating the food he made her, making him smile before he sits next to her and draws patterns on her thigh. 'I miss it.' She then finally admits as she turns her head to look at him. And he loves her like this, loves that out of everyone she choose him be there for her and how he loves being there for her. 'I know.' He whispers and takes her hand in his before squeezing it. 'I feel normal.' She says and looks at their hands.
He just smiles and brings his hand up to his mouth to place a kiss on her knuckles. 'My love, you will never be normal.' The small spark that appears in her eyes makes him smile even brighter. 'You are extraordinary, there is no one that even comes close to your beauty, your caring heart, your love for our family, for me.' He sees her eyes water at that, and he kisses her hand again. And then he sees something else, a passion, a desire as her eyes darken.
She leans forward and crashes her lips on his before she awkwardly moves the plate out of the way and sits on his lap. He returns the kiss, always does, and pulls her close. She then pulls away and sighs almost frustrated. 'I stink.' She says making him laugh, because he doesn't think she does and even if she did he still wouldn't care.
He wants to argue with her, tell her she smells amazing, but then he figures that probably wouldn't change anything and so he just kisses her, she returns the kiss hesitantly, but when he softly bites her lower lip all her hesitations disappear and she moans softly into the kiss. He loves when they're like this, when she lets out these soft moans, when her kisses are messy and passionate and wanting. He loves that they're are made for each other, that their story was written in the stars or whatever, he loves that the universe picked him to make her happy, picked him to care for her.
But then there's this other sound, a sound he also loves but one he doesn't really love at this particular moment. There are soft cooing sounds coming from the baby monitor, sounds that tells him his daughter wants some company, and he loves his daughters company but he also really loves the moment Regina and he are having. 'I'm gonna take a bath.' She chuckles out of breath, ah man he loves it when she's out of breath. She then climbs off him and he makes sure to watch her every move before she disappears in the bathroom.
It's not sexy, it's not what he had planned when he filled the tub or when he had bit her lip while kissing her until she was breathless. But it is most definitely adorable. Robin thinks when he sits across from Regina in the bathtub and watches her and Luna play with the foam. He catches her eyes and watches as she whispers an 'I-love-you' to him.
