Captain Swan One Shots

I Like Your Walls

Emma was in a bit of a panic. She felt kind of sick. And she was also just so torn. You might be asking why she was feeling all of this? Well there was one reason. A handsome (or as he said devilishly handsome) pirate who had a fondness for leather and guyliner. She just didn't know what to do. Emma had never expected him to become such a big problem. Well, at least not this type of problem. When they first met, she never in a million years would've thought that she'd be debating whether to give him a chance or not. Because this was the thing, Killian Jones, AKA Captain Hook, was in love with her. God, just thinking about that made her feel crazy. Okay, well, he'd never specifically said that he liked her but that's just because he wasn't one to be direct with his feelings. But over everything that had happened between them, it was very much implied that he did. 

Emma had found it annoying at first and had just desperately wanted him to stop looking at her like that. But then, over time, she began not to hate it that much. The way he looked at her made he heart race and all she wanted to do was kiss him. But she didn't because well.....she had walls. Emma had been hurt before and she didn't want it to happen again. And it was just a few stupid feelings. She could and would get over him. But then the feelings kept growing and she felt herself falling harder and harder. It was terrifying and she had kept trying to push her emotions away. She couldn't pinpoint the moment when she had decided to stop fighting it. But maybe it was more a series of moments when they had fallen through Zelena's time portal and ended up in the past. 

The first moment was when she had kissed his past self and something had hit her. It didn't matter where they were, when they were or even if they remembered each other, kissing Killian was electric and it felt amazing. Every. Single. Time. The second moment was when they were dancing at King Midas' ball. Because she couldn't help but get caught up in the moment. It was a scene straight out of a fairy tale- the cliched one where you know it's going to end happily ever after. And even though there were so stupid and ridiculous, Emma had loved them as a child and had always dreamed about getting her perfect dance just like in Cinderella. And this really was it. And god, he looked so damn handsome and the way he was looking at her and his eyes and that stupid dress and the music and it all just came together to form one perfect moment. And it felt like the whole world slipped away and it was just them and the strange connection they shared. 

The final moment was when he wiped away her tears after she realised her mother hadn't actually been killed. God, he was just so kind and caring and supportive. And the way he had comforted her that night made her fall in love with him just a tad more. And even though Emma had pushed him away so much, he was still there by her side. And that's when she realised he'd always be there. He wasn't like Neal. He'd never abandon her. He'd stick by her side through it all and it took all the control she had not to kiss him right then and there. Luckily, she had the chance to one they'd returned home. Because that really was the final moment. It was the perfect moment and all Emma wanted to do in that moment was be with him. Because Killian had traded his ship for her. She had been caught up in the moment and after that kiss, all she thought about was love and Killian. Emma knew she wanted to be with him and for a moment, everything was simple and easy. 

But then they found out the woman they had brought back was Marion, Robin's dead wife. And Regina wasn't happy and nothing was simple anymore. That was the point where Emma started to worry as last time when Regina had lost the man she loved, she cursed an entire kingdom for 28 years and tried multiple times to kill her mother and father. And the thought of loosing Killian at this point was unbearable. It made her feel physically sick. She made the decision to deal with Regina before beginning anything with him. So yeah, she was avoiding him. And then this woman with ice powers had showed up and immediately created a massive, seeming indestructible snow monster. It felt like there were so many threats and things trying to kill them left, right and centre. So maybe it was better if she stayed away from him. Because then he might not get hurt because the people that get close to her always seem to get hurt. Everyone she'd been with was dead. Graham, Neal, even Walsh. It was like Emma destroyed everything she touched. But she couldn't do that to Killian. He was too important to her. 

But, oh god, she just so desperately wanted to be with him! And even though she might not admit it, deep down, Emma knew that she couldn't stay away from the pirate for long. She needed him and his ocean-blue eyes and that stupid smirk in her life. She knew that there was no point fighting it anymore. It was inevitable that they would end up together. But not right now. Emma just really needed a moment to figure things out. And that was where the problem lay. She had already made Killian wait for ages and hadn't always been the most understanding about his feelings for her. She couldn't even begin to understand how hard the year that he spent in Enchanted Forest must've been for him. He must've been quite sick of her walls and her constant running away. But he probably thought it was all worth it when they kissed outside of Granny's. He probably thought that they were going to be together. But then Emma had pushed him away. Again. 

She would hate her if she was him. And he seemed so annoyed by it all this afternoon. It felt like she only had a small window left to get him or she'd lose him forever. He could easily get anyone he wanted. Apart from her. She was worried that he might not see what the point was after chasing after her anymore. And Emma didn't want that. It would kill her to see him with someone else. She had to act now. But then that circles back to the previous problem. She wasn't ready yet! And she just wanted to deal with Regina and the ice woman before beginning a relationship. In conclusion, she had two options. Either lose him forever or start a relationship when she wasn't ready to have one. Both of them sounded awful. So yeah, Emma had no idea what to do. 

She was scared and worked herself up so much and she felt like she just needed to vent to someone. Snow would be way too annoying and weird about it. David would immediately go into protective father mode and tell Emma to stay away from him and she obviously couldn't talk to Henry. Before she'd probably have gone to Regina as they had both been starting to get close but now she definitely couldn't. She really needed more friends. But she didn't have them, meaning she had no one to go to. And then she found herself doing something strange. Without even thinking about it, Emma made her way outside his room at Granny's before snapping back to reality. Oh god, she should totally leave, right? Maybe not. She could talk to him, make him understand the situation and then maybe, just maybe, everything would be okay. Taking a deep breath, she lightly knocked the door and it opened a few seconds later, revealing her handsome pirate. 

"Swan? Is everything okay? Did another snow monster appear?" 

"No, um, I just wanted to talk to you." 

"Well, come on in." he said, pulling the door open for her. Once she walked in, he closed the door and spoke again. "So what do you need?" 

Emma pursed her lips and frowned. How did she even start? What if Killian didn't get it? She looked up at him as he raised his eyebrow slightly. And suddenly, she found herself grabbing his jacket and kissing him, almost as passionately as their first kiss in Neverland. It was just so good and all of her fears and worries seemed to slip away. 

"Not that I'm complaining but what was that for?" he asked. 

"You know I really like you, right?" He raised his eyebrows again and smiled slightly. "I know how you feel." 

"Good. Good. And you understand that I want to be with you. Just not yet. I'm worried about things and I just need to deal with stuff before I can start something with you. But that doesn't mean I don't like you. And I know it must be really annoying but please I don't want you to be with someone else. And I know this is a lot to ask but-" He intertwined their hands as he placed a soft kiss on her lips. 

"Emma, trust me, I get it. And I understand you have walls. But I don't find them annoying. I like your walls and I like the one being able to break them down. And I'm not going to give up when the finish line is finally in sight. I want to be with you and I don't want anyone else. I'd wait forever for just one more kiss with you, Emma Swan." Then, Emma grabbed him again and pushed her lips onto his and she finally, finally knew that everything was going to be okay. She knew that they were going to be okay.
