A/N:

Please read this before continuining! : So, the last time I watched S2 or S3 (somewhere when Hook first met Emma and arrived to Storybrooke) was last year and I only have a vague memory from it. And I think that at that time no one could escape Storybrooke because of the border, so I'm not exactly sure if a magic bean could work at that time. But since I used it in this story, just assume that it would work. Anyways, enough babbling, on to the story!

(But don't forget to review and favorite! ;)

Disclaimer: I do not own Once Upon a Time, or any of the characters in it. I only own the plot.

Ding. Dong.

The echo of the wedding bells reached all the way to the edge of the deck where Hook was standing, clutching on to a magic bean that he had managed to find in his hidden deck.

The bean was from a mysterious trader decades ago (before Hook had reached Neverland) during one of Ho

ok's voyages. What he had traded for the bean, he did not remember. It must have been a valuable piece to give, because a magic bean was very hard to acquire. He had kept the bean ever since, waiting for the perfect moment to use it.

Now he was standing here ready to use it, for a reason that his past self would not expect. He was using it because of a woman. A woman who he had feelings for that could not be put into words. The thing was, she was getting married.

They had recently had an encounter on a very touchy subject. Hook had confessed all his feelings to her and begged her to not get married. Yes, he had felt terribly selfish and guilty and he didn't know what had gone over him.

Emma, on the other hand (the woman he was in love with) had her feelings in a knot, for she had also fell for Hook while still loving Neal. But she hated complication, and decided to take the route where things would might go smoothly— to marry Neal and have her son get his two parents together.

The ending was rough, and it had led to this. Hook was ready to go back into the Enchanted Forest and forget about his dramatic "love life" in Storybrooke. He decided to just think of this as one of his many voyages.

As he stepped up onto the steps leading to his vessel, he heard a clank. His brows furrowed in confusion and he stopped to turn around and listen.

Several more clanks were followed after that, the noise getting louder by each clank. Hook soon realized that it was footsteps. And it was coming towards him.

There were hardly any people coming towards the docks, one of the reasons why Hook spent most of his time there. Fishermen stopped coming after the curse broke, and the boats were abandoned, so it had come to a surprise to him to be hearing footsteps.

Hook turned back around and shook it off. Maybe an old fisherman wanted to visit.

He walked across his ship and faced the ocean which had a glint of sparkle from the reflection of the sun. Ready to throw the bean, Hook threw up his hand and pictured the Enchanted Forest in his mind.

And just as it dropped out of his hand and let the bean sink into the water, a voice shouted, "Killian!"

Hook jumped up in surprise, which caused him to disconnect with the image in his mind, making the magic bean no use. The magic bean was now deep under the ocean, ruining his only chance to escape.

"Bloody hell!" He shouted as he turned around to see who had caused this. "What in the whole bloody world was so important that you had to just interrup—"

"Emma?"

Emma was facing him, sweaty and tired, but still beautiful. She was in her wedding dress, heels, veil, face full of makeup, everything.

The distance between them was like their last encounter, far away, yet so close. Hook was confused, "What are you doing? Shouldn't you be at your… wedding?"

Emma walked up to him so that she was standing on the ship, too. She looked down and fiddled with her fingers. "I'm confused." She whispered. "I care about you, Killian and that one is for sure."

She finally looked up at him and sighed, "I have always cared about you, I was just afraid of giving in."

"I'm just so vulnerable right now that I didn't know what to do. I was so out of place, but thankfully I didn't run out on him. We had a long talk and I explained my feelings to him. Oh, I felt so guilty but—" She now had tears brimming her eyes and Hook pulled her into a hug.

"We sure have a hell of a cliché story." Hook muttered in her ear and Emma pulled back and gave him a small smile.

"We sure do." She said. "But I'm willing to continue our story, and see what grows."

He pulled her in close and muttered, "That's all I ever wanted." And closed the space between.

This two-shot was incredibly hard to write (moostly on the dialogue) because I don't think Emma and Killian had ever had a serious conversation about their feelings before they were in a relationship. It was mostly based on witty comebacks or side comments, which I will be making a funny one-shot to, because I need to take a break from angst and move to humor. Please review!
