When Robin wakes up he doesn't feel like he was stabbed in his back several times. No, he feels like he had a very very good sleep.
He opens his eyes and all memories come back. He slept with the queen. The evil queen which he actually kinda didn't see as such besides. He didn't just sleep with the queen..he slept with the most beautiful woman he has ever laid his eyes on. And she's still asleep..laying in his arms. Looking so innocent but being so guilty. Guilty because it's her that always makes Robin feel like an idiot but at the same time like a lovesick teenager.
The only thing he worries about is the next few minutes..what she will do when she wakes up. That's why he worries even more because he can already feel the disappointment waiting to come up when she's probably gonna yell at him to get his ass out of the bed.
Honestly Robin doesn't want to stand up neither to let her go and that's the biggest problem he's having right now. He
He cannot see her face because she's turned away but he watches her anyway. And he can't stop thinking about how much he liked what they did only hours ago. Not because it was sex. It's because of her.
Suddenly he feels her turning around and changing her sleeping position. Still eyes closed and breathing calmly. She's asleep, as it seems. But she's not.
Regina is afraid of opening her eyes. Of seeing him. Looking the truth in the eyes. Facing it. She feels his strong arm around her that he laid on her arm ever so carefully in order to not hurt her. It's her injured arm. And Robin never dared to do a quick move the night before.
The queen thinks back to what they did and how it came to that. And why she feels so comfortable and calm in his arms.
She wants to open her eyes but to do that she needs to turn her back at him again because looking him in the eyes is going to be a big mistake. But this time she forgot about her arms..poor Gina. When she tries to move her arm protests and she winces in pain automatically opening her eyes. In the same moment she feels him lay a hand on her lower arm in order to calm her. "Hey..careful." he says barely above a whisper.
Damn.
"I know." Regina whispers back and just avoids his gaze instantly. Closing her eyes again would be senseless. "Do you want me to change the bandage..?" He asks calmly still looking at her. How the fucking hell could she answer in a rude way now if that idiot is talking so sweetly. She just gives a nod in return. Robin stands up still wearing his pants they didn't have the time to take off when they were..well doing what they were doing.
He gets a new bandage and walks back towards her, sitting down next to her on the bed. Regina who was still wearing her dress sits up still looking down. Robin starts taking off her old bandage and she can feel his eyes switching between hers and her arm.
Silence fills the room and it's an uncomfortable one before Robin puts on her new bandage but the silence doesn't leave..it decides to stay and make it uneasy for Regina to think clearly.
"Everything alright m'lady..?" She hears him asking in the softest caring voice.
Little bastard
Opss...mask button is pushed and she puts on her usual queeny mask. "Yes sure I am." She answers in a cold tone still avoiding his eyes.
Jesus Christ why is he even surprised that this is happening now. And sure as aleays he doesn't know what he did wrong that she reacts like this. "Let's start this new. Good morning, your majesty." Robin says with a little cheeky tone in his voice. Then he let go of her arm as he finished but remained sitting there.
"Don't go too far."
"Or what..?"
"Are you challenging me ?" She finally looked at him in a threatening stare.
"Maybe.." he answers cheekily. But it is the moment he notices. Notices that he's falling for her. Hard and deep. So without another word he just cups her cheeks and kisses her. And Regina kisses him back..
