OUAT X Reader - Wicked Love

Chapter 15 - Little Thing Called Jealousy (End)

Reader's POV

You smile as you place your mug down on the bar in front of you. "I think I'm winning." You say a playful smirk filling his face.

"Is that what you think Princess," Killian jokes before he downs the rest of his ale. Since the return of your hatter you used one night a week to go out and spend some time with your now best friend Killian. Of course, what you guys did was always different but it mostly revolved around alcohol. It never turned romantic, which was a good thing considering you were engaged; it was just all buddy, buddy, and jokes.

"Oh that's what I think Cap." You say as you wave for the Bartender to bring you another drink.

"I don't know if you remember but I'm a pirate, I have more Rum in my veins than blood."

"Oh Cocky, are we?" You joke a smile filling you face. As the bartender places your newly refilled mug down in front of you, you smile and thank them.

"No, just stating the facts." He replies motioning for a refill.

"Okay, whatever cap." You say as you take a sip from your mug, the cool liquid burning as it slides down your throat warming the rest of your body.

"So where's the Hatter tonight?" He asks his eyes moving back to his mug.

"Daddy daughter dance." You answer making the pirate choke on his drink.

"Your Serious?" He asks and you nod a smile on your lips.

"Yup," You giggle as you continue, "You should have seen the look on his face when Grace walked out of her room in the dress she and I picked out. He was borderline in tears. It was so cute."

"I'll take your word for it." He says once again bringing the mug to his lips. After he takes another sip he takes a deep breath and says, "So have you two picked a date yet?"

"Look at you all curious and shit." You say turning toward him on your barstool. "Not exactly but he's not the problem," You pause as your turn back to your mug and gently run your finger around the rim of it.

"Having second thoughts?" Killian asks and you smile softly as you slowly turn to him.

"No, I can't wait to marry him."

"Then what's the problem?" Killian asks sitting up straight.

"I hate planning. My mother wants to give me a traditional big poufy extravagant wedding dress wedding,"

"And you want something simple."

"Yeah, but I don't want to hurt her feelings by telling her."

"Why don't the two of you just elope?" Killian says making you cock an eyebrow at him. "I mean you can always have the big wedding, later right?"

"Killian," You lean over and gently placing a kiss on his cheek smile brightly as you say, "You my friend are a genius." You finish your mug and tossing some money down turn to leave the bar when he catches your arm.

"Hold up lass, I'll walk you home." He says as he uses his free hand to finish his mug and drop some money on the bar before he follows you out.

"Aren't you being a proper gentleman."

"I'm always a gentleman love." He says as the two of you pass out the door and into the cool night air. You chuckle as you wrap your arm around his and let him lead you through the town. Storybrooke at night was surprisingly peaceful. The town liked to gossip of course and since you came back with two men fawning over you it was ever the talk of the town. As you walked past a few people your arm wrapped around Killian's, you could hear their whispers and furrow your brow.
