This was a hard one to write. I am really not the greatest at Hook/Regina friendship. So I tried! Here is what happened!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! To all my reviewers/favorites/follows you are the best ever!

Guest: Hook and Regina are close friends. Robin is jealous. No Marion.

"What do you think you are doing pirate?" Regina barely looked up from her drink.

Her heart could not take this much longer. It was one thing for her to selflessly give her son to Emma and know that she would never see him again. But this? This was fate's cruel way of screwing with her. Henry not knowing who she was while she was staring at him was torture.

So she found her way to the Rabbit Hole. This little hovel that she would normally avoid was her solace. Drinking at home would just depress her more. The solitude being more than she could handle. Maybe she would take someone home with her. The thought was discarded as she passed through the doors. It would be a cold day in hell before she decided to take any of these men home. Ignoring the stares that accompanied her walk, Regina sat at the bar. "Whiskey and coke please. Heavy on the whiskey."

The pirate could not take this much longer. He had bent over backwards for the blasted woman and her first question was about Bae? To be fair Hook was concerned as well, but this was ridiculous. He had given up his ship for her! Of course she did not know that and it really didn't seem like the time to tell her. If she did maybe she would realize how much he cared.

So he found his way to the Rabbit Hole. It wasn't the first time that he graced the towns only watering hole with his presence. Many nights were spent here when Cora died. He lost purpose for a while. Then she walked into his life and turned it upside down. When he saw the Queen there, part of him wanted to turn and leave. Then he saw just how upset she looked. One thing Emma had changed in him was being a gentleman. So he took a seat next to her. "Rum please. And leave the bottle."

"What do you think you are doing pirate?" Regina barely looked up from her drink.

As soon as she walked in Robin had not stopped looking. He could not tell what drew him to her beauty. He had heard so many horror stories of The Evil Queen, but she just seemed broken. For some reason he wanted to rush to her side. The thought concerned him. He did not know this woman and had no business being her comforter. His thoughts were interrupted by a man in leather walking through the door.

Killian knew why she felt this way. Understood how much she was hurting and for some reason Regina was finding his company enjoyable. They chatted about everything. From how screwed up each of their lives seemed to be to why no one seemed to be able to understand them. Drink after drink was consumed and the Queen could feel the effect. Her head was light and turning too quickly made the room slightly spin. This was just where she wanted to be. In a state where she could not feel.

Hook could see how drunk his companion was getting. While he was still nursing the same rum he first ordered, she was on her fifth drink. Maybe more than that. He was unsure just how many she had before he came into the bar. "Perhaps we should call it a night?" He had no intentions of going home with her in any way than making sure she got there in one piece.

The thief had watched them all night. Watched her laugh at his jokes, smile at whatever they seemed to be intently discussing, and progressively go into the oblivion of alcohol. There was a twinge at the back of his mind that he could not place. Jealousy was not the right word. All he wanted was to be the person that the Queen was talking to. That she was drinking with. Alright maybe it was jealousy. It was such an odd feeling. He knew this woman, or at least felt that he did. Even though they had only briefly met when the mysterious curse brought them back. Why was he so concerned that she was not choosing him to be there for her. Maybe something had happened in the past year. Something that would cause him to have this deep desire to protect this woman. When he saw the pirate gently lead her away that was the last straw. That scalawag would not be taking advantage of her tonight. Robin would make sure of it.

They had almost made it to the door, when Killian felt someone grab his arm from behind. Regina was in front of him so it could not be the lass. A sigh escaped his lips when he turned around to see the archer. "Can I help you mate?" His voice was tired and worn.

Robin ignored him. "Is this pirate bothering you milady? I would gladly escort you home." He waited for a response but could see that the Queen was too far gone for one. So he turned back to Killian who looked shocked by his offer. "What kind of low life takes advantage of a drunk woman?"

"Excuse me? Look, I don't know what you are thinking, but she happens to be a friend. I was making sure she get's home safely." Hook had half a mind to pull his sword and show this stranger how wrong he was. However, Regina was now holding on to his arm for dear life and he was pretty sure that if she let go she would fall. "If you are that concerned how about you walk her home with me?" At all costs he tried to avoid confrontation with this man. Emma already had enough to worry about. Him being in a bar room brawl did not need to be one of them.

Robin was ready for a fight, but when the pirate offered his anger fled. The leather clad man really was just trying to get the Queen home. "I think I will."

By the time that they reached the mayor's mansion she was two steps from passing out. Both men helped her into bed and left. A silent agreement was made that they would never speak of this night again.

Not my favorite, but I hope you liked it! I am a few prompts behind, but I will hopefully be able to catch up today and post a chapter or two tomorrow!
