Prompt from Tumblr: Neal and Hook are fighting over who should get to date Emma. She doesn't know why they're fighting and tells them to share.
Author Notes: This takes place after everyone returns from Neverland but before Pan's curse takes effect. Also, reviews are nice as, are prompts or suggestions for future chapters.
Quiet Moments
Upon their return from Neverland Ruby and Granny hosted a small welcome back party at their diner for Emma and her family, and invited the whole town. Drinks were poured, stories were shared, and everyone seemed to be having a good time. Everyone that is except for Neal and Hook. They sat alone at the counter drinking in silence.
"I'm going to fight for her." The pirate said, breaking the silence. "For Emma." He placed his glass mug down on the counter and motioned for another drink. Ruby was quick to refill his mug.
Neal turned away from him and took a sip of his own drink. "She'll choose me. We have history, and Henry."
"Aye, but you left her."
Neal slammed his glass on the table, causing the room to go quiet. "I had no choice!" The entire diner turned towards the arguing pair.
"A man unwilling to fight for what he wants deserves what he gets." Hook replied snidely before taking a sip of his drink. He didn't see the fist coming for his face until it was too late, Neal had struck him. Hook set his mug down and turned towards the enraged man.
Ruby slipped away from the counter and headed over to the booth where Emma sat with Henry. "There's a fight at the bar Sheriff." Emma shook her head as she got up from her seat. There was always something.
Emma pushed her way through the crowd that had gathered and came to see Hook and Neal yelling at one another, arguing over something.
"Mine!" Growled Hook as he grabbed Neal by the collar of his shirt.
"She was never yours!" Neal lashed back as he ripped the hand from his shirt.
Emma stepped between the two, placing a hand on each man's chest. "You two need to stop fighting and just share."
"You might like that a little too much, love." Hook grinned as he scratched behind his ear.
