A/N: This installment of the Netflix Adventures is sponsored by Outlander and an awesome reader who brought to my attention how good this could be. I love both of these shows, but no worries, it's accessible for non-Outlander viewers too. Basically just involves jealous Killian, comforting Emma, and a fluffy ending. What better way to start a weekend, right?

"You guys didn't have to walk me here, you know." Henry said the words aloud, but Emma heard that despite what he said he'd liked the company. Still she pretended that fact was lost on her.

"I told you kid, Regina's is right on the way to the library. It only made sense. Besides, when else could you have explained the Iron Man / Captain America feud to Killian?"

"Good point. See you guys later?"

Emma and Killian both nodded, watching Henry head up the walkway. They'd spent most of the day on the Jolly Roger, but had come back to get him some time with Regina and so that Emma and Killian could have a little time to themselves too just to relax and appreciate their currently drama-free corner of the world.

Before this town-wide down time and lull in evil activity, Emma didn't have much of a chance to really immerse herself in Storybrooke. She was a staple at Granny's sure, and she lived at the station half the time, but she'd been missing other things. The park was one of them, the beach was another, but of all the places she never seemed to go Emma mostly wondered about the library. It was right there in the town center, yet she almost never made it there unless a case or research on a big bad prompted her.

Emma always loved a good book, but if she were honest Emma would also admit that she wanted a chance to be friendlier with Belle. A shared appreciation for reading seemed a good starting point to Emma and over time her instincts had been proven correct. Now Emma found herself popping in here almost every day just to say hello. Even on this sunny, mild, picture-perfect Saturday afternoon she found herself returning with a book in hand and Killian in tow.

"Seems awful busy, Swan. I'm not sure we should bother Belle. She might be a bit overwhelmed." Emma laughed at his clear teasing. Truth was absolutely no one was here today. They were all off gallivanting through town, thankfully not causing trouble, which left Belle free to spend the day reading at the desk when Emma and Killian walked in.

"Emma! Killian! You might not believe it, but you two are the first people who've been in here all day."

Killian smiled at Belle's earnest concern before kissing Emma's cheek and telling her he had some things to attend to. By 'things' he meant checking up on items from Henry's ever-expanding 'Our World 101' list. It included everything from books, to music, to TV and Killian was avidly trying to make heads or tails of all of it so he not only fit in better here, but bond more with her son. His excusing himself also subtly left Emma and Belle to connect some more, and Killian was aware of how much Emma wanted a real friend outside of her parents and him.

"You finished the book already?" Emma slid the bestseller she'd gotten yesterday over the counter back to Belle.

"What can I say? There's a lot of free time at the station these days." Not that Emma was complaining. She would take idle hours over fighting off demons and villains any day.

"Thank God. So what are you in the mood for today?" Emma considered the question. She could always stick with what she knew she liked (mysteries and suspense), or she could change it up.

"How about a memoir. Something funny though. No 'it was the worst of times it was somehow a worse time' please." Belle laughed at the characterization before pulling a recommendation off the shelf.

"Here, try this one. It's got some deeper themes but it's always funny. No red flags to speak of."

"Perfect. Then this is the one." Belle moved back behind the counter to check the book out.

"So, Outlander is on tonight? You watching?"

Belle's question might seem innocent enough to the untrained ear, but Emma knew that her new friend was highly aware of what she was doing right now. Belle introduced Emma to the time traveling series a few weeks back and while Emma really enjoyed it, Killian didn't see the appeal. In fact he bordered on loathing the series, but since he could never stomach upsetting Emma, he kept his opinions to himself. Well, mostly.

"That damn show. It's bloody ridiculous is what it is." Killian's muttering from across the library pulled a smile to Belle's lips and Emma couldn't help but mirror it.

"Yup, wouldn't miss it." The muttering continued and Belle muffled a laugh with her hand as Emma rolled her eyes. There was just something with this show that irked her pirate. Emma knew it was the attractive foreign hero, but if Killian wasn't going to say anything then neither would she.

"I'm so glad they are rescreening this first season so you can get on board with the show. It's fantastic right?" Emma noticed Killian peering through the book stack out of the corner of her eye but she pretended that she didn't.

"It might just be my favorite television show."

Immediately they heard a book close with a harsh thud and Killian's footsteps came closer to them. Belle tried her best to hide her reaction, but she needn't have bothered. Killian was too focused on Emma's love for the show to notice. He tended to get just a little irrational whenever it came up.

"Are you ready, Swan." Emma looked over to him and smiled, watching as the tension in his features softened slightly.

"Yup. See you at Granny's tomorrow?" Emma asked.

"Of course! You'll have to tell me how it all went."

Belle winked at them and Killian grumbled some more. Little did he realize that Belle was asking Emma to analyze Killian's reaction, not the show itself. They'd been doing this the last few weeks, and Belle found it simultaneously amusing and fascinating. Emma was just waiting for the day when he finally said something instead of hemming and hawing to himself.

"So it's on again this weekend then." Killian said the words when they were back out of the library. Emma bit back a smile and tried to keep herself from reacting in any way. He was holding her hand and she made sure not to tighten or loosen her grip, kind of loving how it drove him crazy like this.

"Mhmm. But I can always watch alone if-,"

"No, no, no. I'll be there." Emma smiled this time and sent him a hopeful look.

"With popcorn?" His scowl gave way as he nodded.

"Aye, love. When have I ever denied you popcorn?" Emma replied that he never did, and that she hoped he never would and she let it drop from there. But a few hours later, when they'd had their dinner and Henry called to say he was spending the night at Regina's, the moment came for them to sit down and watch the show.

Killian lasted all of two minutes before Emma felt him tensing up, and she highly suspected that the culprit for his sudden uneasiness was that Jamie had just appeared for the first time. Why he was letting himself get so worked up over this fictional man with a kilt Emma didn't know, but she had to play with Killian just a little bit.

"You okay?"

Killian nodded though he clearly wasn't. They continued on, but every time Emma felt herself getting lost in their Scottish culture and the interesting time traveling elements of the show, she was pulled out of it by Killian. During one particularly tension ridden scene between the show's heroine, Claire and Jamie, Emma finally realized that if he wasn't going to say anything then she should. She paused the show and turned around in his arms looking at him.

"Okay, clearly something is wrong."

"Of course something's wrong, Emma! You're in love with this bloody show because it's got this highlander bloke prancing around on it. With the hair and the eyes, it's maddening!"

"So it is about Jamie! I knew it. You're totally jealous."

"Have I reason to be?" Emma couldn't even believe he was asking that, but he was bordering on desperation now. It was something she'd never seen with Killian before. "Look me in the eye and tell me you don't find him attractive."

"I'm not going to lie to you."

"Exactly! So you see my point." Actually she didn't. Killian was missing a couple of marbles if he thought there was any way she was interested in a guy who wasn't him.

"What about Claire?" Emma knew as soon as she tried this line of questioning that the argument wouldn't' work. He wasn't entirely rational right now.

"What about her?"

"Are you going to tell me she's not beautiful?"

"She doesn't hold a candle to you." Emma smiled at that. Typical Killian - immediately complimentary even when green with envy.

"Look, it's TV. They have to make him good looking, that's kind of the unspoken rule. But you seem to be missing one key thing." Her hand came to rest on his chest as she said the words and Emma inched closer, watching his eyes go from angry and a little hurt to surprised and wanting.

"And what's that?" Emma shivered at the way his tone dropped and that gravel came to cling to his words.

"I'm never going to want him, because he's not you."

A slow grin formed on Killian's face and that right there was why there was never going to be any competition. There was simply no guy out there, real or imaginary, who could give her looks like that that made the butterflies in her chest fly about furiously and her pulse kick up with need.

"So if not for him then what are you watching the show for?" Emma sighed.

"I don't know, maybe because somehow Claire has an even crazier life than I do. I can empathize with the whole falling through time thing, the feeling like an outsider bit, and the loving a man who shouldn't be right for you but miraculously is part too."

"When you put it like that I can see the appeal," Emma chuckled at that.

"So you're not jealous?"

"Maybe just a little, but I have an idea on what might fix that."

His lips crashed down to hers in a demanding kiss and in seconds thoughts of this TV show were long forgotten. In fact, Killian's form of distraction pulled Emma away from the episode the whole rest of the evening, and by the time she met Belle for lunch tomorrow she still hadn't found the time to watch. Not that she minded. She'd take a pirate over a highlander every day.

Post-Note: Just had to throw some jealous Killian into the mix this fine Friday. It's been a while since I've written it, but now I have a sudden need to write more. Thanks to my lovely reader who suggested the show, and keep the suggestions coming!
