This one popped into my head back when the whole "OH MY GOSH HE'S GONNA BE IN NORMAL CLOTHES!" stuff was going on - quite a while ago, I think, just shows how long these have been sitting in a file on my computer. Anyway, I thought it would be fun to think about it. Kinda on the short side, but enjoy!

They weren't black.
They were blue. Not even a dark, navy color. Undeniably and by all definitions not black.
"You can't wear black all the time," Emma told him.
He frowned. "Why not?" he challenged, genuinely interested. Was this some other ridiculous law he was unfamiliar with?
"Because that combined with the eyeliner makes you look emo." So it wasn't a law, it was an Emma Rule. Which, he was starting to realize, were much more heavily enforced than laws. "Please just try them." Her hand pressed the jeans against his chest and she looked up at him. "Please?"
He sighed and conceded. It was a pair of pants, and he didn't have to like them, just put them on. In the grand scheme of things, it was probably the simplest thing he'd ever done for her. It was certainly easier than hunting down magic beans and bouncing across realms and traveling through time.
And so, he pulled on the blue pants, along with the boots and t-shirt Emma have given him. At least they were black.
He looked at his reflection in the mirror.
He stared.
He blinked a few times.
He looked like David and Leroy and Henry. He looked like an inhabitant of Storybrooke.
He looked like he belonged.
"So?" Emma called from the other room. "What do you think?"
He couldn't help the corners of his mouth from pulling up. "They feel good."
Kinda cute, maybe? Let me know your thoughts! Requests are always welcome if there's something you'd like to see!
