Juuuust another jaw-dropping, eye-popping episode. That author, man :/ But anyway, when Emma and Snow had that moment, Charming gave Killian the thankful glance. So let's get some fluffy happiness in there, because we all know the true OUAT romance is Captain Charming ;)
17. Bromance
It is common knowledge that going on a double date with your parents has potentially disastrous and awkward side effects.
Emma Swan - fairytale princess and savior of magic - was no exception.
When she and Killian went out with David and Mary Margaret, it quickly became Emma and Mary Margaret on a date with David and Killian.
Though she and Killian sat next to each other in the booth at Granny's, conversation tended to go across the table rather than from side to side. And after the two men started talking, they stopped only to swallow their food.
Emma and Mary Margaret watched, amused. "They're...twins," Emma noted.
Her mother only nodded, unable to think of anything else that would describe the two men better; they both snapped their fingers when they were trying to recall something, both pointed and made gestures with their hands. They had even ordered the same dinner.
Emma and her mother had a perfectly comfortable chat, but their attention kept drifting to the expressive discussion next to them.
"They're actually kind of entertaining," Mary Margaret commented as they waited for Ruby to return with the bill.
Emma smirked. "Dinner and a show."
Outside the diner a few minutes later, the men rejoined their respective dates as the two couples said good night.
"This was fun," Killian said, seeming slightly surprised; Emma recalled him being hesitant at the idea of going out with her parents.
"Yeah," David agreed, "we should do this again sometime."
Mary Margaret and Emma shared a smile that did not go unnoticed by the two men. "You know, if you two want to go on dates, you don't have to bring us girls along."
Foreheads creased, eyebrows furrowed, and two voices echoed, "Wait, what?"
"Oh, they're so cute when they're flustered like that," Mary Margaret cooed.
The two men shot each other identical confused glances as the women laughed to themselves. Emma wrapped her arm around Killian's. "Say goodnight to your boyfriend," she told him. "You two can play again tomorrow." She had a hard time keeping a straight face as her mother burst into a fit of giggles.
Killian and David adopted the same blank, unamused face. "I think they're mocking us," Killian stated dryly, but his lip was twitching upwards.
Emma held her index finger and thumb the tiniest bit apart. "Just a little." This was a double-dating side effect she could live with.
Hopefully some light, fluffy cuteness that managed to elicit a laugh :)
