Glimpses of Love and Affection

by Katrina

Canon Divergence: "What the hell did you do that for? You could've been killed," Emma Swan accused loudly as she stalked up to the one-handed pirate who had just blocked and eventually killed a rather nasty looking flying monkey that had been almost on top of her. "I thought it was obvious, Swan. I was saving your life." Emma/Hook, Captain Swan, some Outlaw Queen, some Snowing.

CHAPTER 2

GLANCE (verb) – Take a brief or hurried look.

They each think it's not obvious, but it is.

I notice it.

Every single day.

All those little sidelong glances and yearning looks they send when the other isn't aware. The one's that convey their true feelings before their usual mask of indifference or denial, depending on who it is, falls back into place when the other turns their way.

Guarding their emotions; guarding their hearts.

At first I thought it was all one sided. An over protective pirate with a pathetic case of unrequited love, but the more I watched, the more I saw that the self proclaimed Saviour's gaze seeks him out just as much.

More so even.

Knowing his reputation I had thought she was keeping an eye on him in case he caused trouble but I soon realised it wasn't that at all. She actually cares for him, however much she tries to hide it.

If only he knew how much she looked at him, he wouldn't doubt her feelings…or his own anymore. It would make them stronger. Too strong, which is something I cannot allow. I haven't come this far to have my plans thwarted by something so mundane as true love.

Luckily for me she is too blinded by her past, ruled by making bad decisions and too frightened to risk her heart again. And I'm going to use that to my advantage. I'm going to curse him and relish their pain before I crush that ridiculous Saviour for good.

She won't be able to save anyone ever again.

And once that do-gooder and her poisonous magic are out of my way, then dear sister, then you'll be mine.
