Imagine your Person A cradling Person B while they're wounded, thinking the injuries are fatal and this is the last moment they will have together…
Only to sheepishly realize the reason Person B is groaning in pain so much is because Person A is leaning on the wound and it's actually not as bad as they thought.
Fairytale Land, AU
Snow ran through the forest closely behind Granny. Suddenly the old woman stopped, her crossbow raised.
"What is it? Is she nearby?" Snow asked, panting.
"This way"
Snow followed the old woman as she veered off to the left, and soon they came to a small clearing which was illuminated by the bare moonlight. Snow gasped and instantly ran to her wife's side, finding her laying unconscious with her hood strung on the floor nearby.
Granny watched as Snow knelt down next to Red and pulled her into a tight embrace.
"Red? Can you hear me? Red!"
Red just groaned in response.
"Red, it's me, Snow. Your wife. Please say something" She cried, the tears flowing freely down her cheeks.
Granny and Snow had broken off from the main group once the battle with the queen's army was won, and tracked her to this spot, knowing that Red should have been back at the castle about an hour ago. Snow had started to worry and Granny had agreed to help track her, knowing that something was seriously wrong. Now, with Red laying in her arms, Snow couldn't help but think that this might be their last moment together. They had been through so much with each other to get to this point, and had only just found out that Snow was expecting their first born. Red couldn't leave her now, she just couldn't. She needed her. She was her true love.
Taking in the woman's appearance, she cried harder at the fact that she was covered in blood. She seemed to have a few gashes along her arms and on her cheek's and such, but she must have had something that she could see that was making her bleed so much.
Sniffling, Snow lent forward and kissed Red on the forehead, the taller woman groaning in pain.
"Red, where does it hurt?" Snow asked, placing a comforting hand on her wife's stomach.
"I-I..."
"Please, tell me"
"My side"
"What?" She asked in confusion.
"My side, you're leaning on my side" She wheezed out in pain.
Snow looked down to find that she was indeed pressing against Red's side, and found a rather large gash. Pulling away slightly, Red groaned in relief.
"Thank you"
"Does it hurt anywhere else?"
Red shook her head the best she could. "No. I'm not in as much pain as when you were leaning against me"
Snow bowed her head shyly before helping her wife sit up.
"You're cute when you blush" Red observed, directing Snow to look at her by placing a finger under her chin.
"I'm sorry Red"
"Don't apologize, you didn't know. Are you ok?"
"Yes"
"What about..."
Snow smiled and joined their hands, placing them on her stomach. "She's fine"
Red nodded and let Snow pull her in for a hug. "I was so worried when you didn't return to the castle"
Red wrapped her arm's around Snow the best she could. "I'm sorry. I got ambushed by the Queen's evil slave wolves. She knew I'd be out here on my own and set them on me. By the time I'd taken them all out, the battle was over and I was tired and in pain, so I guess I blacked out."
"It's okay, I'm so glad you're safe. For a moment there I thought I was going to lose you" Snow said, hugging Red just that little bit tighter.
"Did we win?"
"Yes"
"Then I guess we need to go and celebrate. Help me up"
Snow stood up and helped her wife up, wrapping Red's arm around her shoulder so that she could help her walk. Before they started moving, Snow looked up at Red's face.
"I love you"
Red smiled. "I love you too"
Snow grinned back and gripped on tightly as she helped her wife limp back to the castle, Granny taking point in case anything else were to attack them.
