Swan Queen Week Day 4: Teacher

Aye what so ya know another late update, I am on a roll. This story is really kind of simple and unlike the others I guess. So I hope you don't hate it too much.

Disclaimer: yeah yeah I don't own Once Upon a Time of the characters.

Emma is 18. Emma is 18 and she's 24. It should be a big deal, but its not. Not even remotely. They have an age difference and that is just that, an age difference. But it doesn't matter because she is more in love with Emma than she ever has been with anyone.

Regina's her teacher. She teaches English at Storybrooke high, it's her first year. She sits in the back of Regina's class everyday and tries not to think about how if she kissed her right then, Regina would be fired. But it doesn't matter because she wants to spend the rest of her life loving Regina.

Emma was your typical high school slacker, just slogging through every year only doing enough to pass and that was precisely what she was planning on doing this year as well. That was until she walked into English lit on the first day and saw their beautiful new teacher. Sometimes she thinks that it was love at first sight, and other times she thinks that she fell in love with the brunette when she first heard her speak about literature. She had never heard such passion come out of a teacher's mouth before, and it was beautiful.

Regina was drawn to the blonde slacker immediately, her soft blonde curls were what drew her in but her deep green eyes are what made her stay. She could see pain in those eyes, like that of someone who had a rough childhood and was forced to grow up too fast. She went after the blonde as many times as she could get away with, Emma's smartass comments were the highlight of her day, to which she responded with her brand of quick wit. Regina would keep Emma after class fairly often to try and motivate the girl to work to her full potential, because Emma was smart she just needed to embrace it.

Emma had never been told she was smart. Not once. Not until Regina. So when the brunette teacher uttered those words to her she had cried and promised she'd work on it. Regina put her hand on her shoulder. It was the first time they had ever come in physical contact, and they both felt the sparks. After that day Emma actually tried on all her assignments, even in her other classes. She didn't want to disappoint Regina.

Regina grew anxious as weeks turned into months and all she thought about was Emma. The girl was her student, she shouldn't have thoughts of taking her student on her classroom desk. She just should not. So for two months she rarely looked in the blondes direction, always had another student pass back papers to save her from being near Emma. As the weeks wore on she could see the blonde getting more and more confused by her behavior and it was showing in her work.

Emma stopped doing well in school when Regina started avoiding her. She couldn't handle the fact that the only person who had ever called her smart no longer cared. The only person whose opinion of her mattered no longer cared. So she quit trying. Until it got to the point where Regina asked her to stay after class. "Miss Swan" she had said, which truthfully made a chill run down Emma's spine because it made her think about the fantasies about that desk she'd had. And Regina said something about how she was falling behind again and then told her she was smart.

Emma lost her shit when Regina called her smart again, what did she care, she had already stopped after Emma did her work the last time so why would she care now. Emma told her as much, well it actually sounded more like "yeah right, the second I started believing that I was smart because of you, you just stopped caring. So why should I do it again." This caused Regina to get wrapped up in her illegal feelings for the blonde and put her arms around the shaking teen while whispering reassurances in her ear. It was their first intimate physical contact. And they never wanted to let go.

Their first kiss was a month later. Emma was upset about something that had happened at home. She had been kicked out of the foster system and was now homeless. Regina noticed how withdrawn the blonde was during class and asked her to stay after class, when the last person left the brunette closed her door and blinds before walking over to the blonde and asking her what was wrong. Emma then began to cry and relay that she aged out the week before and her foster parents didn't want her to stay even though she was almost done with high school. Regina had kissed her after that. They were both shocked but fell into the kiss easily. It was the first of many.

Emma had moved into her house. Emma was an adult and the principal at the school didn't really care about much of anything, so the blonde moved in. They spent a great deal of their time getting to know each other, Regina learned about how Emma had been in foster care since she was four when her parents died in a car accident, Emma learned about how Regina's mother had been a manipulative and abusive bitch and that Regina no longer associated herself with her parents. They fell deeper in love with every passing day. And now here they were, months later cuddling on the couch thinking of how they got to this day.

The blonde had graduated earlier that day, relieving them from all the lying and sneaking around during school hours and never being able to leave the house together, those days were behind them now. Now they could just be Emma and Regina. Just two woman who fell in love despite the unfortunate circumstances they were in. Now they are here, sitting on their couch in their home. It was no longer Reginas home that Emma happened to live in it was theirs. Emma was now moved into their room, slept in their bed, and they both couldn't be happier about it. They were finally free. Emma was starting at the police academy in a few months while Regina would be going back teaching around the same time. They had the rest of their lives together and they couldn't wait to get started.

"I love you, Regina." the blonde said as she placed a kiss on Regina's neck.

The brunette turned her head slightly to kiss the blonde, stopping just centimeters before her lips, "And I love you, Emma." she whispered and finally closed the distance between them.

Whelp that's that, another prompt come and gone. Have a great rest of your day everybody. Byeee
