The Day We Met (Captain Swan)

Chapter 22

{Writer's POV}
Present

"Killian, Liam is dead"
Tom said sadly. Snow and David had sad looks on their face too.
Emma's head shot up instantly from Killian's chest and she takes his hand befoe standing up, just to be followed by Killian.
"What?" Killian asks in desbelief of the news. Emma, and pretty much everyone in the room, know this will destroy him.
Liam, his only family, his big brother, his best friend, the guy who always helped him in everything he did, his ony fatherly figure, the one who did everything he could to raise him correctly, is dead.
But how?  Who has the heart to kill someone who never hurt anyone, someone who was always nice to everyone?

"He is dead Killian. He was killed by Black Beard, he knew about the trip his king was planin' required goin'  to 'his land', as BlackBeard likes to call The Island of Caranáh. He doesn't want any kingdom related ship to go near it because he knows major part of the all the pirates that live there  will leave, and the pirates there are bein' 'trained' to be part of his crew, and he doesn't want to lose his future sailors. So he decided to kill the captain of the ship he thought was going to ruin his plans, beause accordin' to him, there is no better way to warn the king that he wants no one near 'his land'" Tom explaines. Killian is holding onto Emma's hand for dear life, as if his life depended on it. But of course Emma let him, she knows how much he is suffering right now, and she knows he is trying to be strong.
But Killian says nothing, no word escpes his lips, he just storms out the living room and goes out to the garden to get some air and think about what he was just told.
Emma leaves him be just for some minutes but she goes to the garden too, knowing she will find him there. David, Snow and Tom decide to stay, not wanting to interrupt them, they know this is a really rough moment for Killian and that Emma should be the one conforting him.

"Hey" Emma says almost in a whisper as she places a hand on his forearm.
Killian turns around to face her since his back was facing her before.
His face, expressionless. Not that Emma expected differently, she knows he is a really strong person, physically and emotionally, and he wouldn't let anyone see him cry.

Emma sighs and wraps him in her arms, letting him rest his head on her shoulder as she rubs his back slowly in an atempt of comforting him.
Killian wraps his arms around her, thankful for having someone like her in a moment like this. "I don't understand why he would kill him, out of everyone, he chose him..." Killian finally says after a while of silence and Emma nods.
"I know Killian. And I have no idea either. I know that you are the most hurt by this but I want you to know that it hurts me too...  You know, I remember that he used to come here to bring stuff his king ordered him to bring to my dad when I was a little girl, and then we started talking and hanging out and we became close friends, he was actually my first real friend, the first one who didn't try being my friend because I am a princess. And I also remember that he used to come to the balls my parents did and we always had an amazing time. And I'll miss him... A lot..."
At this point Emma of the conversation was hugging Killian so tightly that it seemed that she wanted Killian to confort her. Emma had tears in her eyes that were slowly falling down her rosy cheeks and she was realizing what was actually hapening.
Her friend from her childhood, the guy who was becoming part of her family and being her broher-in-law was dead.
Killian knew she was crying and said nothing but held her close to him as a tear rolled down his own cheek, knowing this hurt Emma as much as it hurt him.
They are both silently crying  as they embrace each other tightly.

"I'm sorry" Emma says after a while and pulling away from Killian. "I should be the one listening to you and conforting you, not the other way around" Emma adds as she tries to wipe away her tears.
"Nonsense, Emma. This affects you as much as it does me. We are both hurt by this, I want you to tell me how you feel and I want to comfort you just as much as I want to tell you my feelings and you to confort me" Killian explains as he takes her hand and walks toards a bench and sits down, Emma sits down to and huggs him side ways, resting her head on his shoulder and KIllian wrapps an arm around her waist and resting his head on hers as he starting to play with her hair in attempt of calming and relaxing both of them. 
"Thank you Killian" Emma whispers and he kisses the top of her head. "You're welcome, and thank you too, my love"
"You're welcome Killy" She says and he smiles just a little at the use of that new nickname that he used to hear when he was just a little kid.
"Killy?" He asks still with that little smile and she giggles faintly.
"Yes, sorry if you don't like it but I find it pretty cute" She looks up at him and kisses him slowly. Killian kisses her back and pulls apart after a while of kissing.
"Liam used to call me that when I was a little lad" He says and Emma's eyes widden.
"Oh! Killian I am so sorry! I didn't know that" Emma apologizes thinking it bothered him.
"No, Emma. It's alright. You can call me that, it's actually quite comforting coming from you" He says and Emma nods slightly.
"Okay, I love you so much" Emma says .
"I love you so much too" Killian says and kisses her before pulling apart and holding her close and being held close by Emma. Both trying to make each other feel better in the comforting silence and enjoying each other's copany as much as posible with the situation.
Emma knew that Killian wouldn't sleep, and she doesn't expect him too, she knows he misses his brother and she won't stop him from feeling sad but she will make her biggest effort to make him feel happy and not alone.
