Captain Swan One Shots

Eat a Snickers, David

Note: So I've been MIA the last few months. It was a combination of a family emergency/holidays/lack of inspiration and motivation. But the show is back now so I am hoping the good things we have to look forward to will inspire and motivate me. This is just a little thing that came to mind because Killian is so desperate to help David. Hope you enjoy it! ~Steph

Summary: Killian and Emma discuss David's current state and Killian comes up with a way to help him.

...Eat a Snickers, David: Part 1/1...

Killian rolled over in bed, his eyes meeting Emma's smiling face. He reached out and cupped her cheek, his thumb running circles along her jaw.

"I missed you, love," he said.

Emma smiled, as she took his hand in hers and kissed his palm. "I missed you, too."

"You weren't even gone very long," he said, shaking his head. "I haven't a clue how your father is surviving this long without being with your mother."

Emma sat up in bed, as Killian did the same. She sighed heavily. "I think he's barely surviving."

Killian bobbed his head. "I'm afraid you're right. He hasn't been sleeping or eating. He's snapping at everyone in sight and making rash decisions. I don't believe he's thinking clearly. I'm worried about him, Swan."

Emma smiled, as she linked her fingers with his. "I love how much you care about my family."

She watched as his eyes dropped down to the comforter. Emma brought her hand to his chin and gently lifted his head so his gaze met hers again.

"They're your family now too, you know."

He offered her a weak smile. "I'm not sure your father would agree with you."

Emma nodded her head and then placed it on his shoulder. "I am."

Killian dropped a kiss to her hair. He hoped he would soon be an official member of her family.

...

Killian entered the living room, sighing at the sight of the TV on and the room empty. Henry had already left for school. It drove Emma crazy when he left the TV on. Killian picked up the remote to turn it off when a commercial came on the screen. He still didn't quite understand commercials and TV shows and how they all worked or their purpose. He couldn't quite differentiate between reality and TV magic. Who could really blame him? His own reality was filled with magical powers, beings, and objects on a regular basis.

He stared at the commercial for a Snickers bars. They were a favorite of Henry's. A man in a white dress was standing on a grate blowing air while they filmed a movie. Killian had no idea who Willem Dafoe was, but he was complaining when someone brought him a Snickers bar, telling him that he gets cranky when he's hungry. He took a bite of the chocolate bar and then transformed into a beautiful blonde woman. Killian also had no clue who Marilyn Monroe was, but was mesmerized by what seemed like magic before his eyes. The tagline: "You're not you when you're hungry" appeared on the screen.

Killian shook his head. "Bloody hell, who knew those chocolate bars could contain such powers?"

He walked into the kitchen and opened up a cabinet. There were 3 Snickers inside. He picked up the candy bar and examined it carefully. He brought it up to his nose and smelled it. It seemed normal and Henry never seemed to act any different after eating one. But, then again, he only ate one when he was in a calm state. Perhaps the magical powers only worked when one was feeling upset.
