Ah, here is a more...relaxing chapter to make up for Hook's cruelty in the last one. I apologize my lovelies, but he couldn't help it. I always appreciate the reviews. It really helps me out. If you ever have any concerns about the rating and you want me to warn you, please let me know. If you don't, I'm going to stop putting the STOP! and GO! thing.

Ok, enough ranting, to the story.

When Emma woke up, her head was pounding, her thoughts were overflowing with those sharp blue eyes of last night. He was angry with her, but why? She didn't remember doing anything wrong.

Emma's face seemed, confused as she thought about the way his eyes looked, yes they were sharp, demanding and cruel, but she thought she saw a glimmer of pain and sadness behind them before he turned her over. She shook her head to command the thoughts away. The only thing she should be worried about is getting home, not about this...pirate's feelings.

The young princess sat up slowly, her gaze travelled the room to see Captain Hook. Normally she would have coward back in her bed, but the way he was...didn't seem to deter her. It was probably because he was still asleep. Emma examined him from afar. His hair was a mess, his kohl liner was smudged, he had large bags under his eyes as if he hadn't slept much.

What made Emma worry the most was that he was on the ground, his back uncomfortably slouched on the wall and his head was hung down. She licked her lips nervously and climbed off the bed. Emma crawled quietly over to the captain. She wondered if he was needed on deck, surely he would be. The girl hesitated, looking over his facial features, before jostling him in order to awake him.

-Hook-

Hook woke up to the feeling of someone shaking his arm. He gasped when he opened his eyes, as if he had just had a nightmare, which he actually did. In his dreams all he could see were the tears of the young princess as they graced down her face, her body shook as she cried.

"What?!" He growled breathlessly. When he looked at the person who awoke him his eyes widened. Emma began to crawl away as she looked at him, her face was frightened and he could tell she was trying to hide it.

"I wanted to make sure you were awake" She stuttered "I didn't want you to sleep in" Her face filled with worry "I apologize, I should have left you alone"

Killian's expression lightened, she had been concerned about him and he snapped at her for trying to be kind. When he saw her face he felt terrible. Hook felt as though he wasn't worth the effort and well...he really wasn't. He cleared his throat before speaking "No Princess," He started simply "I am the one who should apologize." He placed his hand behind his neck and looked away almost shyly. "Thank you" He stood and left the cabin, ignoring how horrible he must look.

-Emma-

Emma was left sitting there, she was at a loss for words. He just...thanked her. The princess' mind swirled and tried to grasp that fact. He was sincere sounding as well. When he looked at her before he had left his expression had softened. This thought caused a small blush to appear on her face.

Emma squeaked and looked up from her seat on the ground when she heard the door open. She let out a sigh of relief to see it was just Mr. Smee with her breakfast.

Smee helped the girl up and they sat at the table. Smee would tell her stories of their ventures as Emma would eat. This had actually started the first time he brought her lunch. She loved hearing his tales, they were...amazing.

Later on in the day Hook came in. Emma had been lounging on the couch reading when he spoke. "We will be in port in about a week" His deep voice seemed to surprise her as she jumped, almost dropping the book. Hook chuckled lightly and Emma looked at him, astonished.

"Did you just...laugh?" A smile threatened to tug her lips and he looked at her for a moment. A smirked appeared on the pirate's face. "Maybe" He practically purred out "Why do you ask?" He raised a brow and smirked again in satisfaction as her cheeks began to flare a bright red color.

"It just...it sounded nice" She admitted quietly and he smiled "Maybe I'll do it more often" He said simply and with that he left her in the cabin to return to his duties as captain. He left the poor girl dumbfounded and nervous.

'Why was he so handsome?' Emma groaned in her mind.

Sorry this one was so short, I'll work on lengthening them in the next chapter.
