Family

"Woah... moon looks so big and so close too."

"Aye, it does."

Huge smile spreads across Bae's face seeing which Hook smiles to himself. Using Hook's telescope Bae was looking at the moon; it looked so huge at first when Bae looked, he gasped.

"This is so beautiful. I never knew moon could look so beautiful if I look more closely."

"It does. I used to look at it all the times." For the first time Bae tears his gaze away from telescope and looks at Hook.

"It was always there, wherever I went it was there with me. Almost like... watching over me. I spent a lot of nights just gazing a moon, talking to it."

Bae was no longer looking at moon, his ears, mind and eyes were on Hook, no.. Killian. It's not Hook who is speaking to Bae, it it Killian and he is making a confession. Killian looks at Bae who seems to be lost at his words. Killian is surprised how easily he spoke of this, he never ever shared this with anyone at risk of being sound stupid but with Bae, he's not afraid in fact he believes that Bae can understand. And he does. Bae looks at moon once again but not through telescope. He lets out sigh, he's in awe.

"I used to look at moon when I was afraid, when I would miss my mother terribly."

Hook looks at him, he opens his mouth to say something but instantly closes it while keeping his gaze at Bae. It's been quite sometime since Bae has been with them but all this time he never spoke of his parents. All Hook knows that his father abandoned him, nothing more. Even though Hook would get curious he never asked Bae about it, at risk of bringing dark memories. Bae finally is out of his nightmares, Hook didn't wanted the start of them again. He waits and hopes that Bae would continue but never utters the word.

"I had a family once. I had mother and father too."

It stings in Hook's heart he way Baelfire uses past tense.

"You know about the Dark One?"

Hook surprises to hear about the Dark One, why did Bae bring him up? Hook nods his head.

"Aye. What about him?"

"He is... or was. Well..."

"What is it Bae?"

"I am Dark One's son."

Hook eye's go wide in shock but he quickly turns his face away, but Bae saw his reaction.

"You are?"

"Yes, I am Dark One's son."

Hook didn't know what to think or react, he has so many questions in his mind but he waits for Bae to continue.

"I didn't tell you before because I didn't wanted you or others to be afraid like others. He wasn't like this forever. I had a normal family. Well not exactly normal but it was still family. My Papa was in Ogres war but he ran away from battlefield so everyone called him a coward."

Bae's eyes are getting moist which doesn't go unnoticed by Hook.

"My mother, it wasn't easy for her to be a wife of coward. Everyday they would fight, trying to keep their voices as low as possible so I would not hear it, but I could and I did. The bitterness, the constant fights and my mother would leave me and Papa and would be gone for hours. But she would eventually come back. She would always find her way back home."

He turns to look at moon once again.

"One day she was gone like any other day; me and Papa kept waiting for her but she never came back. When it was very late Papa went to look for her, I was very young then. He kept looking and he found her. But dead."

Hook's breathe catches in middle as he hears the last sentence from Bae's mouth.

"Dead?"

"Yes, dead. When Papa came home, he was upset, he was crying. He told me my mother was dead, gone forever. He didn't told me how. After that we didn't spoke about mama ever, it was me and papa always. But I would miss my mother sometimes. One day, there I heard my papa and someone from village talking. That's when I found out that my mama killed herself, because she would rather die than be a coward's wife."

Hook was speechless; he was right never asking Bae about his past because it was indeed very painful.

"After that day, I never missed her because anger filled my heart. She abandoned me, papa. She would rather die than be with us, be a family."

Tears roll down his cheeks as he speaks.

"Everything changed after that. Everything. Papa and I grew closer, I was world to him. as time past, my my thirteen birthday got closer and I was scared. Because then I would be sent to Ogres war and I didn't wanted that. So to save me, me and papa ran from village when we came across an old beggar, he said he could help us. He if Papa would control the Dark One he could stop all of this. But then he ended up killing the Dark One, who turned out the be the beggar who helped us. Then Papa became Dark One. Things got uglier from there; as power started to take over him, he became cruel man. He preferred his power over me. When I wanted out from this, I wanted to go to a land without magic, he agreed but at last moment he chose power over me! He let me fall through that portal alone while he held his dagger close to him."

Hook is absolutely shocked to know all this. He heard of Dark One, he heard lot of stories about him but never knew the real person.

"He chose power over me!"

Baelfire screams looking at the sky. As tears are rolling down his cheeks fiercely. He lets his head fall on the railing of ship as his head touches the railing, Hook hears Bae crying fiercely.

"Bae... I didn't..."

Hook tries to speak to him, after finding his voice again but it cut by Bae's voice.

"He never for once thought that how would I survive in that land, alone? You know what I've gone through. All alone for months, in that land, trying to figure out everything, alone. No... he didn't! All he cared about was his precious magic! He is no different than mother, they both abandoned me! I hate them both."

Bae looks at the moon once again but now his eyes are growing dark as anger and hatred is taking over.

"You hear me? I HATE you! I hate you both. You both abandoned me!"

Bae screams, his scream is so fierce that even Hook is taken back for a moment. Hook quickly gets closer to Bae.

"Bae."

Hook whispers his name. Bae doesn't respond to his voice, he doesn't tear his gaze away from moon. Hook puts his hand on his shoulder making Bae turn towards him. His whole face is wet from tears but still he is looking like an angel. A broken angel.

"Baelfire."

Hook calls him once again, as Bae seems to be very far from him. His body is here but Bae isn't. As he hears his name he looks at Hook whose eyes are moist too; without giving a second thought Bae hugs Hook tightly letting himself fall on Hook who quickly makes an arch around his small waist, holding him, making his grip tighter on him.

"They left me. They didn't want me. Nobody wants me Killian."

Bae whispers to his chest as his hands turn into tight grips on Hook's back.

"Bae... it's not true."

"Nobody wants me."

Hook's hand finds it's way into Bae's hairs as his fingers starts to play with Bae's hairs.

"It's not true."

"Nobody wants me."

"Bae. Listen. To. Me."

Bae lifts his face to see to meet with Hook's. Hook lets his hand fall from his hairs and brings to his face, holding his face in his palm.

"I don't know why your parents did what they did. But I know one thing that you are too precious to let go. It's not true that nobody wants you, because... I want you Baelfire."

He blinks in surprise, trying to register what Hook is saying. But his mind is still screaming that nobody wants him; he will abandon him too one day. Bae tries to turn his face away, as he doesn't want to listen to another lie.

"Look at me Bae."

Hook make him turn his face, his gaze towards him once again.

"I will not ever abandon you. Your mother chose death, your father chose power over you but I choose you, above anything else. I want you. You have me, you have this ship. This is your home now, I'm your family, Baelfire."

Bae looks at Hook for a long time to see if there's any chance he's lying, but Hook wasn't and both of them knew this. Instead Bae heart warms up as he sees tears falling from Hook's eyes.

"Family?"

Hook nods smiling.

"Yes. Family."

Bae once again let's himself fall on Hook's chest and he hugs him tightly once again. Hook places a soft kiss on his head as he tightly hugs Bae with everything in him. He is never letting Bae go. They both have finally found what they spent their lives searching for: a home, a family.

So.. how was it? :)
