Fake Relationship. Swan Queen Week Day 2

Regina and Emma sat at the bar in The Rabbit Hole after a long day at work. A lot had been going on in Storybrooke lately so the mayor and sheriff had decided to go out for a drink.

Emma looked over at the other woman. She looked exhausted, with circles under her eyes and lines in forehead. She still looked beautiful to Emma.

"So, Madame Mayor, I think we have finally put an end to the dwarves' mischief. "

"I hardly consider that mischief, Miss Swan. It was nonsense. They aren't the only ones that need access to those mines. They were behaving like children."

"I couldn't agree mo- Oh no! Hey, do me a favor, and I'll owe you one? Just go with me on whatever I say or do, please? I'll explain later."

"Alright."

Regina raised her eyebrows and looked around the room. It didn't take long for her to notice the dark haired man, wearing a lot of leather, making a beeline toward them.

"Well, well, if it isn't Hook."

"I prefer Captain Hook, your majesty. Would you mind if I had a private word with Swan?"

Emma cut in, "No way! Whatever you have to say can be discussed in front of Regina."

"You sure you want that love?"

Emma took Regina's hand. "100%"

Hook's eyes fell to their joined hands and his jaw dropped. After a moment he continued anyway.

"Well, I was coming to ask you about that date love. You've been so busy lately."

Here comprehension dawned on Regina and she knew what it was that Emma wanted. She turned to the blonde.

"Date? What date dear?"

Emma blushed and gave her a sheepish look, "Well, Hook here has been asking me out for months."

Regina smiled at Emma and gently squeezed her hand as she turned to glare at Hook.

"Well, unfortunately for him, you seem to be spoken for these days. I've heard this amazing, regal, beautiful brunette has caught your eye."

Emma beamed at her, "You're absolutely right babe. I get to work with her all the time and we share a son. She's pretty great and it just makes sense."

"You're serious? You two are together? No way. Swan, you're just trying to get out of this date. It's not that easy love."

At this, Regina's face hardened. She hated this man smirking at them like he'd caught them in their lie. That just wouldn't do.

"How's this for serious?"

She turned and grabbed Emma's face, kissing her with all the passion she could muster. To her surprise, Emma's lips parted, urging her to continue. She deepened the kiss and Emma's arms wrapped around her waist, while her own got lost in blonde hair. They had lost track of how long it had been going on when Hook, who had been gaping, finally cleared his throat.

"Alright, alright. I get it, you're serious. If you ever change your mind Swan, you know where my ship is docked."

Regina's glare followed him out the door.

"Thanks Regina. You have no idea how much I didn't want to go out with him. I really enjoyed that. Did you see his face? Ha!"

"Oh. I can imagine. The guy is a pig. I enjoyed that as well."

"Really? So what do I owe you?"

"Nonsense. You owe me nothing. I loathe him. It was enough fun to just see him fail at catching you. He's so used to getting his way with women."

"Regina.. You're rambling. I do believe you're flustered Madame Mayor."

"I, um, well, sort of. That was-"

"Amazing."

"Yes, actually."

"I wasn't expecting that. I've actually been wanting that to happen for a while."

"Oh, really?"

"Yeah."

"Well then we may have to continue this."

"That sounds really, really good."

The two left the bar hand in hand.
