You always thought storybrooke was an odd place.

Even though you've lived there for as long as you could remember, It didn't feel like home.

You've always felt like something was missing...

Or someone.

"Hey red!" You smile, walking into the little Cafe your bestfriend was dining at.

"Hello y/n, and I told you to stop calling me that. My name is Ruby." She rolls her eyes, placing a cup of tea infront of you.

"Ruby is red." You sip your tea with a smile. "Therefore you are red. And I feel it just suits you more." You shrug your shoulders and she shakes her head with a smile before moving to wait other customers.

You smile, watching her work before turning back to face the table and taking another sip of your drink.

A ding could be heard throughout the room as the door opens, you don't move to look up, just minding your own business and drinking the hot tea.

"Hi, how can I help you?" You hear your friend say and a male voice answers.

"Uhm, can I just get a cup of coffee?" You turn a little in your chair to face the man, his voice was definitely attractive but you wanted to see his face.

"No tea? Its much better then the coffee." Ruby tries to change his mind but he shakes his head.

"I think im done with tea for a while." Ruby just nods before walking over to the machine and pressing the coffee icon.

The man turns around and you get a good look at him, he has amazing blue eyes and a jawline that he could probably cut someone with. His clothes were...questionable, but you aren't one to judge.

His eyes look in your direction and you quickly spin back around, acting as if you weren't just checking him out.

You hear a chuckle and footsteps walking towards you and you mentally curse at yourself, knowing it was the man.

He clears his throat and you squeeze your eyes shut for a few seconds before opening them and turning to face him with a small smile. "Hello?"

"Hi, uh— is this seat taken?" He gestures to the empty seat across from you and you shake your head.

"Nope."

"Great." He sits down with a smile and you awkwardly look at your drink.

"I'm sorry for staring, I just— i don't know." You blurt out and he laughs.

"Its okay" you look up to see him smiling at you and your heart melts. His smile is perfect. "I'm Jefferson." He holds his hand out for you to shake, which you do.

"I like that name." You reply and he nods once again giving you one of his dazzling smiles.

You go to open your mouth but are cut off when Ruby places a cup on the table. "Here you go sir." She says and he nods.

"Thank you."

"Are you done with that?" She asks, looking down at your empty cup and you nod.

"Yup, here you go red." You hand her the cup and notice Jeffersons eyes widen a little bit at the name you called her. You think nothing of it, saying a thank you to your friend as she walks back to the kitchen with the dish.

"Red?" He asks confused and you nod.

"Yeah, I call her that. Her name is Ruby but that doesn't feel right to me, so I call her red." You shrug and he nods, a smile making a way onto his face.

She's still in there.

Jefferson is beyond happy when he realizes the woman he loves is not as lost as the other towns people. Almost everyone has forgotten everything, but you. You're starting to remember.

You cut off his thoughts with a question he didn't expect. "I'm sorry, but do I know you?" You ask before both of their eyes widen. "Wait— that sounded extremely rude. Let me rephrase that." You clear your throat. "Uhm- I feel like we've met."

He smiles a little bit before he comes up with a lie. "I dont think we have, oh would you look at the time." He says looking down to his watch and to the door. "I'm sorry y/n, but I really have to go." He says and you nod with smile, he scrambles up and quickly leaves the café.

As he leaves you feel a wave of familiarization flood you. But its quickly replaced with confusion as you realize something.

You never told him your name.
