Prompt: Set during 1x22 closet scene, and Regina accidentally kisses Emma.
Regina was surprised at the anger and force used by her crush to throw her into the hospital's janitor closet. The brunette blinked, stunned, but she only had time to brace herself and turn towards her assailant, when she again was harshly thrown against the opposite wall with a strong arm immediately against her throat.
A blazing emerald forest swam into the former queen's vision as the room came to a halt. The two women were panting, adrenaline barreling through their veins.
Regina's breath caught in her throat at the sight of those pained, now dark eyes as she stared into them. She wanted to soothe that anguish that she had caused Emma so dearly that her heart ached in her chest. Her heart painfully throbbed for Henry and Emma, but she had brought this upon herself.
Regina couldn't control herself as she surged forward and pressed her lips against those warm, thin lips of her infatuation's. Emma's body was betraying her, as her lips moved against the brunette's soft, full ones. The blonde admitted she loved Regina but now was not the time to be making out.
Emma willed herself to roughly push Regina away, and she glared at the brunette she loved dearly, "What the hell, Regina?!" Emma yelled, removing her arm from Regina's throat and moving away, taking a precaution.
The former queen briefly touched her lips but she shook her clouded head to clear it, "I'm sorry, Emma." A tear slipped down Regina's cheek and she looked everywhere but at the Savior, hoping to hide the agony and vulnerability that was in plain sight there. Knowing that Emma was watching her intently, Regina ran out of the room.
The curse was broken and Regina was in Henry's bedroom, crying and thinking back on all she had done that day. The brunette's whole frame was shaking with the effort and weight of the emotions storming inside of her. Regina's breath hitched when a knock resounded throughout the mansion.
Almost sprinting, Regina reached the door and opened it, "Hell-" Her words died in her throat as her eyes met those bright emerald of her crush. Emma stepped inside the mansion without a word, and once she was through the door and a few feet behind Regina, she spoke, "Why did you try to poison me and what was that kiss about?" Emma's voice was steely, but once she caught the tone of it she softened it, her eyes softening as well when she saw the tear tracks on olive cheeks.
Regina hesitated, but she then built up the courage to say the words steadily, "I didn't want to feel these emotions. Feeling them once got me hurt and I didn't want to go through that again. As for your second question: I have come to the terms that I love you and that I didn't like seeing you hurt so." The brunette shut her eyes but she opened them quickly, turning her gaze to the floor.
Emma was confused but her heart went to this woman, "Your not going to get hurt again Regina." The blonde spoke softly going up to Regina and rubbing her forearms soothingly. This surprised Emma after everything that day, but she didn't stop "I...I love you too, Regina." The Savior added, faltering sightly.
Emma pulled the former queen into a hug, burying her nose in Regina's hair. "I'm still upset but I think we can get over this." Emma spoke after a moment of peaceful silence.
Regina pulled back, her eyes shining with hope and Emma smiled at her, pulling her into another kiss.
