Maybe It's Fate: SwanQueen One-Shots

Wasted

i stared at a picture of my internet best friend, an easy smile spreading on my lips. she's wearing a short leather dress and stilettos. she's gorgeous. her name's Regina and we've been internet friends for a long time and we flirt. a lot. so, i decided to surprise her. and that's why i'm on a plane, flying to the small town of Storybrooke, Maine. well i'm actually flying to Augusta and then i'll drive to Storybrooke but whatever. i'm wearing tight ripped jeans, a baggy grey wife-beater and black combat boots. because that's how i go to clubs. girls love my biceps. my hair's in messy waves because my long blonde hair is too annoying to work with. Regina has no idea i'm coming to see her. hopefully she'll be excited to see me. she's with her friends Mal and Cruella. who names their kid Cruella though? whatever. i know all about weird names. my last name's Swan for Christ's sake. but that's not important. what's important is that i'm 45 minutes away from meeting my best friend and i could not be more excited even if i tried.

i stopped by the local b&b so i could get a room and drop my stuff off before i made my way to the Rabbit Hole. i'm not even inside yet but i can already hear the loud club mix playing and there are some people standing outside smoking what smells like pot. but i'm not judging. i made my way into the packed club and my eyes went wide as i looked around at all the people dancing and grinding all over each other. the club is hot and stuffy but what else could i expect. i made my way to the bar and ordered a shot because i need a little liquid courage for tonight. the blonde bartender set a shot glass in front of me before pouring the drink into it and then she winked at me as she walked away. i picked up the shot and downed it before slamming the shot glass down on the bar. i forgot how bad tequila burned your throat. after a few more seconds, i turned around to continue my search. Mal and i have been texting so i know what they're wearing and such. finally i spotted the blonde in a tight red dress and extremely tall black stilettos talking to a man who looks too fancy to be here. i walked over and tapped her on the shoulder. she spun around and smiled brightly. "Emma dear! i was starting to think you chickened out." she said, her hand going to cup my bicep. the man huffed before walking away and i snorted out a laugh. "hey Mal. it's nice to finally meet you." i said smiling and she nodded. "Regina and Cruella are somewhere dancing with our friend Ursula. i got bored so i went to get a drink." she said and smiled. i nodded and thanked her before making my way to the dance floor. i pushed through sweaty bodies and suddenly i was grabbed by my upper arm. i turned around to see a man wearing too much leather and a lot of eyeliner. i scrunched up my face as he opened his mouth to talk, his breath wreaking of rum. "hello love. want a dance partner?" he asked in a scottish accent. i laughed before patting him on the shoulder and he furrowed his eyebrows. "i'm gay buddy. but nice try." i said and walked away, leaving the dumbfounded pirate wannabe behind me. i continued my search until i heard loud laughing that i immediately recognized. i made my way to the middle of the dance floor to see three women dancing and laughing, one a lot louder than the other two and i smiled. i walked up to them and wrapped my arm around the brunettes shoulders. "hey ladies. care for a fourth?" i asked, turning to look into brown orbs. "Emma! guys THIS is Emma!" Regina shouted loudly and threw her arms around my neck. i laughed and then realized she wreaked of alcohol. "hey why don't we get you home?" i asked and she nodded against my shoulder. "do you think you can walk to my car?" i asked and she nodded. she pulled away from me and wrapped an arm around my shoulders as i wrapped one around her waist. we walked to the entrance, me keeping Regina upright, and we finally pushed our way out of the entirely too loud club. she gasped as a cold wind blew around us and she snuggled closer to me. i smiled before helping her into my car and she smiled lazily as she rested against the seat. i closed the door and went to the driver's side. i turned the car on and Regina moaned softly as the heat began filling my car. "Emmaaaaa. i thot you were working tonight." she slurred out and i smiled. "nope. just wanted to surprise you." i said as i drove down the quiet streets of her sleepy town and she stayed quiet. i pulled into the driveway of 108 Mifflin street and Regina smiled as i put the car in park. "you 'membered where i live." she said happily and i chuckled softly as i got out. she got herself out and leaned against the passenger door, waiting for me. "of course i did. i sent you stuff like every week." i said and she laughed way too hard, causing me to laugh. "will you carry me in? i'm drunk." she slurred and i smiled as i picked her up bridal style in my arms. she wrapped her arms around my neck and rested her head on my chest. when we got to the front door, she had me set her down and she fished her keys out of her purse, immediately handing them to me. i found her house key and pushed it into the lock. Regina leaned against me as i unlocked the door, then i opened the door and she walked in the dimly lit house. i followed her in and dropped her keys in the bowl on the foyer table and closed the door behind me, then i kicked off my boots. i saw Regina had kicked off her heels by the bottom of the stairs and she was sitting on the bottom step. "okay?" i asked softly and she nodded before i helped her up. "pick me up?" she asked softly and i nodded as i picked her up in my arms to carry her upstairs. her house feels so familiar to me and it's crazy since i've only seen it through skype calls and pictures. when we got upstairs, i went to her bedroom and then laid her down on the bed. "alright. lemme get you some pajamas and then i'm gonna get you some water, alright?" i asked and Regina nodded. i made my way over to her closet and opened it, then opened one of the drawers. i pulled out the pajamas she told me were her favorite, then i turned around to go back towards the bed. my eyes widened and a deep blush spread on my face as i saw Regina standing butt naked by the bed. she smiled at me and i walked over, setting the pajamas on the bed. "let me get you some underwear and then i'll-" i was cut off by her grabbing her pajama shorts and pulling them on. i chuckled and grabbed the shirt, then helped her into it and i took her hair out of the complicated up-do she had it in, then i helped her into bed. "i'm gonna get you some water and then you can go to bed, alright?" i asked and brushed a piece of her hair behind her ear. she smiled and reached up, grabbing my hand in hers and she kissed it before letting it go. i smiled and then walked to the bathroom, seeing two bottles of water on the cabinet. i chuckled, knowing she had probably planned on needing it. she is completely wasted. i grabbed both bottles and took them to her room, then sat them on her nightstand. i opened one and handed it to her and she drank it gratefully. she finished it, then set the bottle down. she grabbed my hand and looked up at me with tired eyes. "will you stay with me?" she asked softly and i nodded. she moved over in her bed before patting the spot with a goofy grin on her face. i smiled as i got in, then she immediately latched onto me like a koala bear. i pulled the blankets over us and before i could even tell her goodnight, she was asleep with her head on my chest. i smiled and wrapped my arms around her, then placed a kiss on the crown of her head. "sleep well my love." i said before falling asleep myself.

i woke up to lips being pressed against mine and i moaned before kissing back. much too soon, she pulled away and cupped both of my cheeks in her hands. "you're here. how are you here?" she asked and bit her lip. she's straddling my waist and sitting on me. i smiled. "i flew in last night to surprise you. i got to the Rabbit Hole at like eleven and you were completely wasted so i brought you home and got you in bed." i said and she smiled, rubbing under my eye with one of her thumbs. "thank you." she whispered and i shook my head. "just kiss me again." i said and she smiled before leaning down and kissing me softly. this was totally worth the wait. she smiled as she pulled away. "you're not going home." She said and bit her lip. i furrowed my eyebrows. "well not today, but event-" "no. you're not going home. you're not allowed to. you're staying here with me forever." She said and my breathing hitched. "I wish i could but we both know i can't." i mumbled sadly. "you can, Emma. just say you will. please." she whispered, her eyes filling with tears. there really isn't anything for me to go back to... and i do want to spend forever with her... "okay. i'll stay. but only if you're sure?" i said, biting my lip. she smiled brightly and kissed me passionately. when she pulled away, she closed her eyes. "I'll call Graham later and have him start packing my room in the apartment. then i'll have him send a uhaul up or something, okay?" i said and she nodded. "i love you so much. don't ask when or how or why it happened, but i did and i-" i cut her off by kissing her passionately. she moaned and cupped my cheeks in her hands. when we pulled away panting, she smiled, leaning her forehead on mine. "i love you too." i said and she nodded. this was definitely worth the wait.
