EMMA'S POV

Could Killian have feelings for David…?

That thought had plagued Emma's mind from the moment it came in a week ago. It had taken control of her as she now over-analyzed everything that went on between the three of them. She didn't know what to do. On the one hand, she knew that she still had feelings for Killian, strong feelings. There was no doubt about that. But on the other hand, she didn't want to interrupt whatever was blossoming between him and her brother, especially because they finally seemed to be getting along well.

A little too well if you ask me…

"Ugh, what are you saying Emma," she mutters under her breath. "There's nothing going on between Killian and David. You're probably just paranoid of losing him again.

Aaaand now you're talking to yourself. Nice.

Now convinced she was certifiably insane, Emma refused to sit still. Pacing around the room, she tried to shake the voices of apprehension from her head.

She heard a loud knock on the door. Emma pulled herself from the modern, red leather chair and nervously approached the door. Before she even opened the door she knew who it was.

"Killian, hey. Wait, what are you doing here it's crazy early in the-" She couldn't even get her words out before Killian pushed her against the wall and then she felt his lips come crashing down on top of hers. It was a passionate kiss and Emma sunk right into it. Before she could even move to kiss him back, Killian pulled away.

Trying to catch her breath, she smiled softly against his lips. "So, what was all that about?" she breathlessly asked.

KILLIAN'S POV

He had been awake for around three hours now, anxiously contemplating whether or not to go through with what he was about to do.

Killian you can't do this, it will break her.

You have to know for sure though.

After that moment with David in the kitchen, he hasn't been able to shake the feeling from his mind. For a week he had been brushing it off as merely a "bromance," or whatever Emma had called it, but deep down he knew what was really going on. He knew those smiles and giddy feelings weren't simply because he finally had a best friend. However, that's what he told himself. He refused to accept it as he knew accepting it would change everything.

That's when he was convinced he had an amazing idea.

He dragged himself out of his apartment and wandered outside of Emma's door.

I'm really doing this. What if I feel nothing? I kiss her and it's just nothing. How will I tell her that I could potentially have feelings for her brother?

But then again, what if it is something? Could he just throw away the sparks that he felt whenever David was around? Could he give Emma another chance to break his heart again, undoubtedly breaking hers as well? Or worse, she completely refuses him and he ruins their friendship completely.

"Right, okay Killian, you need to pull yourself together and knock on the bloody door."

Killian lifted his arm and banged on the door.

Well you didn't have to try and break it down, mate.

He heard footsteps and only then had he realised how nerve-wracking his idea actually was. Of course, he was nervous about the after-effects, but he didn't realise how much he would panic about just doing it.

The door opened and he jumped a little causing shivers down his spine.

"Killian, hey. Wait, what are you doing here it's crazy early in the-"

And before he could register what he was doing, he crashed his lips down on top of Emma's into a passionate kiss. His arms instinctively wound around her waist. Hearing her tiny gasp, he could tell that she was startled and shocked by his sudden expression of emotion towards her, but he carried on kissing her. Fearing the worst reaction from her, he slowly pulled away.

Nothing.

He felt nothing.

Perhaps a tiny spark, but that was it.

"So, what was all that about?" He heard Emma mumble, feeling her breath against his face.

Um, yeah Killian what was that about? What are you supposed to say now, huh? "Uh, sorry I think I kinda like your brother now." Well go on then, talk to her.

Killian looked at Emma and she was gazing into his eyes like a lost puppy and he could tell this wasn't going to be easy. Not wanting to erase the lovestruck look upon her face, he vowed to at least try to make this work.

Thinking quickly, he replied. "Um- I uh- well I just missed you."

"You missed me?" Emma said, biting her lip nervously.

"Yeah."

Emma wrapped her arms around him and he played along, fully well knowing what he was doing to her was completely wrong.

Dammit, Killian. How was this supposed to fix anything?

EMMA'S POV

Killian grew silent after his answer. Looking up at him through her lashes, she noticed the worried look on his face.

Frowning, she uttered, "Hey, I- is everything okay?"

"Yes, love. I'm just thinking, is all."

"About what," she smirks.

Killian stared into her eyes and hurriedly said, "I want to apologize, Emma. I wasn't really thinking and kissing you felt like a good idea at the time and I am in no way trying to push you into anything. I would never do that, love. I—"

"Killian, hey," she says, holding her hand up and interrupting his anxious rambling. "It's okay. I kind of liked it anyway," she smiled slyly. With a more serious tone she added, "Besides, I missed you too."

Her words cause Killian to smile brightly. It's the first time she's seen him smile like that in years. Smiling back, she realized that they were finally getting back on track.

With his smile turning into a smirk, Killian muttered, "And to think, I had almost forgotten how you kiss…"

Biting on her lip, she pulled him closer until their bodies were once again pressed together. "Well, then maybe I'll just have to remind you," she says as she closes the distance between their lips."

As he continued to kiss her, he couldn't help but feel like he had betrayed David somehow.
