Treasure Trail

Chapter 1: Treasure Trail, kind of...

After getting back from the land of untold stories all our Storybrooke heroes go to their homes to resume their lives. Snow is exhausted from all the adventurous things they did. She goes to Neal's crib and picks him up and sits on the bed. Her phone buzzes and she checks it. It's a a text from Regina. Snow takes the baby in the stroller and tells David loudly that she's headed to Regina's house, since he was in the shower.

David had had a few bites of lasagna at Granny's while showing off Storybrooke to Dr.Jekyll. He was glad that Emma succeeded in her mission. The past few weeks was hell with running around all those realms. He was almost done washing up when he heard a knock on the loft door. He shouts "Wait a second!" and grabs a towel and dries off quickly and wraps it around his waist and gets out of the bathroom. There's another knock on the door. David responds with "Hold your horses!" and heads to the door in a hurry. Perhaps Snow had forgotten something. He opens the door to find Killian, breathing heavily like he just ran a marathon. The towel slips from David's waist and drops to the floor. David is too shocked to move and Killian forgets to breathe. Killian's eyes are wide open as he gapes at the blond treasure trail from David's navel heading south towards a bigger treasure. Both men go rigid and start flushing red. David bends down and picks up the towel fast. He holds it in front of his crotch expecting the other man to have averted his gaze but to find him still standing with an open mouth. David shuts the door and wraps the towel tightly this time and opens the door. Killian hasn't moved an inch. David shakes his shoulders saying, "Hey Killian, snap out of it!" Killian comes to his senses and fails trying to find words. David says, "Come in. What's up?" and heads to the dresser near the bed to find something to wear. Killian enters the loft and is embarrassed for forgetting for a few moments why he was there. While his mind is busy being embarrassed his eyes follow David's broad shouldered back. He sits down at the dinner table to hide something in his tights jeans which would be obvious to anyone if he were standing.

David processes Killian's reaction to his nudity for what it is and grins at the idea of tormenting Killian more, that he just got. He pretends to look for particular clothes when he knows exactly where they are. "Emma's not here. She's at Regina's," he says. Killian suddenly remembers why he's there and says, "Oh, I know. She texted me to come and get you. Apparently she tried contacting you. She said your talking phone might have "died"." Killian tries not looking at David but his eyes keep wandering back to that alabaster skin that has so many muscles hidden beneath them. He always had wondered what it'd be like under all those layers of flannel shirt and jacket. David apologizes for forgetting to charge his phone. David is aware that Killian's taking in the view he's providing and he goes for a bold move. He picks up a purple underwear with a black elastic band and drops his towel, pretending yet again of being oblivious to Killian's gaze, and bends over to pull it on. He keeps the conversation going, "Anyway, what's the matter? Everything alright?" Killian catches the view of the curve of David's butt and before responding. "Uh, ah, that bastard Mr.Hyde has come to Storybrooke it seems. So it's another mission for us to stop him", he finishes cursing mentally at his raging hard on. David pulls on the underwear and snaps the elastic band, with a sound, that sits on his hips. Killian suddenly has an inkling of an urge to touch that dainty waist. David turns around and finds Killian suddenly turning away and grins at his bold move to have succeeded. David states, "There isn't a day that goes by without one or the other disaster in this town." and picks up the towel and comes into the living room. Killian turns in his chair changing his position thinking David probably was heading upstairs or into the bathroom. He wasn't going to be caught staring at David's almost naked body. Suddenly he smells the scent of citrus soap and turns swiftly. David is picking up his phone on the table. David moves towards the sofa and plugs it to the charger, looking for text messages and voice mails.Yet again Killian is treated to a grand view of that bubble butt he so wants to grab and squeeze like he's fantasized countless times before. He stops right there and goes, "Yeah, get dressed. We're needed at Regina's house. "Yeah, okay", David replies and goes to the wardrobe and gets a tight pair of jeans and wears it. He picks up a flannel and puts it on. He leaves the buttons off and moves towards Killian. He asks, "Hey, can you throw this in the laundry basket for me?", handing him the wet towel. Killian takes the towel, his eyes down, catching the blond trail of small hairs. He just moves away from David and does as he's told. By the time he's back David is fully dressed with his jacket. Glad that his efforts at temptation were working, David grabs his shoes and ties them.

Both of them leave the loft and head to Regina's house. When they arrive, Regina is annoyed at them for being late and asks them, "What the hell were you two doing that you're so late?!" Killian replies quickly, "We weren't doing anything. Why would we be doing anything ?!" David smiles internally at Killian's uneasiness. Regina looks at them from one to the another. Emma is too concentrated on the problem at hand to notice anything. Snow is sitting by the fireplace, feeding Neal from a bottle. David ask, "Okay. What's happened now? How did Mr.Hyde come to Storybrooke?"

The discussion of Mr.Gold and Mr.Hyde comes to an end as they agree to act if and when Mr.Hyde starts any trouble. Snows hangs back to talk to the new and separated Regina, baby Neal sleeping soundly. David, Emma, and Killian leave Regina's house, heading back to the loft.David is walking in front of them and Emma has her hand in Killian's and keeps saying something about getting a new place to live. But Killian couldn't get his mind off of the sight he saw a few hours ago. It was like looking at a priced jewel, the thickest manhood he'd ever seen in his life. David falls back and starts walking with them, beside Killian. Killian's head is a buzz with father and daughter walking each side of hm. David asks why Emma wants to live in a new house since she already has a new house picked by Killian. She gives unpleasant memories being the reason to not moving back to her house. She says she'd like to live in smaller, pleasant place like an apartment. "Why don't you two stay at our loft until you find a new place to live?", offers David. Emma grins and asks "Dad, is this you being the protective father? I can handle myself. You don't have to worry." David responds, "I know, I know, but I haven't handled him yet..." and Killian looks at David suddenly as David ends his pause with-"..as a protective father, I mean."

Emma announces that she'll be in for a long soak and doesn't want to be disturbed. David takes off his jacket and plonks down on the sofa and looks at his phone. It is charged up a little. Killian is sitting at the table again. He looks at David smiling at his phone. "What? Did someone send you a hilarious text?", he asks. David looks up from the phone and answers, "No. I'm watching this movie called 'Captain America: The First Avenger'". Killian is puzzled. He thought "movies" were big talking pictures which you went to theaters to see. He gets up and walks over to the sofa and sits down next to David.
