Look Up to the Stars (Captain Swan)

Chapter 16

"There you are! What took you so long?" Emma asked as she saw Killian walking up to her. He sat next to her, in the sand, facing the water. However, given the late time, they didn't see much, it was too dark.

"I was just finishing up my homework." he explained. "So, how are you feeling?" he asked her, after the incident that happened a few hours ago.

"To be honest, I don't know... Rose and Oliver did manage to make me feel better, but I'm afraid of going back on monday..." she admitted.

"Don't worry about that, it'll be alright. And I can stay around if you want..." Killian suggested.

"This is really nice of you but I'll just seem more weak if you stay around, like I can't fight this on my own. And I guess I'm not really someone you want to be around now." Emma replied.

"I'm still here if there's anything." he said and put his hand on hers. She smiled at him and looked at the ocean afterwards. Emma was still thinking about what happened when she came back home.

"I almost left..." she declared. "But there was just something holding me back... There's Rose and Oliver, Anna and Belle, of course, but the first person I though of was you. I just felt like... I couldn't leave you." Emma admitted but she could not look at him while saying it.

She stayed because of me, Killian thought.

He turned towards her and reached for her other hand.

"You made the right decision. I want you to stay." he declared.

He could feel her hands shaking a little. She looked deep into his eyes, stunned. She could not say a word.

"I care about you and who knows what could happen to you if you left?" he added.

"W-Well I've ran away before and I'm still alive." she said, half-joking.

"Well, then, I just don't want yoh to leave me, Swan." he admitted. "Maybe I need you here."

She took a moment, closed her eyes and took a deep breath before she replied.

"Maybe I need you too."

She opened her eyes and looked at him. He moved his hand to her hip and slowly brought her closer. Emma wrapped her arms around his neck and he made the move, he put his lips on hers.

They lost their balance and fell in the sand, lying next to each other. They interrupted the kiss for a second and laughed, but Killian kissed her once more.

And after a while of kissing, they stayed lying on the beach, Emma resting in Killian's arms, looking up at the stars.

"You're leaving tomorrow?" Emma then asked.

"Yeah. My mom really wants us to go since we don't see her parents really often. We'll be back late sunday." he said.

"Okay..."

*  *  *

They got back home, late, hand in hand. Before he let Emma go, he kissed her once more and she giggled right after.

"Thank you" she whispered.

"Thank you too." he simply replied.

She hugged him before she entered the house without making any sound, making sure to not wake her foster parents.
She got up to her room and quickly changed into her pyjamas. There was sand all over the bathroom floor that she would clean the day after.

She was going to bed but passed in front of her window and saw Killian. She smiled to him and then closed the curtain before she lied in her bed.

She closed her eyes, thinking about the best night of her short life.
