Here's a little bit of Hook... and it's also the last drabble, since I'm only covering the first two seasons. Thanks for R&R-ing!


Baelfire was a boy, just a hurting little boy, when Killian first met him – had him dragged out of the water like an overgrown fish – and despite their differences now that Baelfire is a man who's also trying to win Emma's affections, Killian still sees the remnants of that boy in "Neal's" eyes. It's there, almost always, in the way that he looks at Rumplestiltskin –the same way that he looked at Killian that day he found Milah's likeness aboard the Jolly Roger. It's the look of a boy who's been hurt by a father-figure, and that realization flabbergasts Killian.
