Once Upon a Time Imagines and One Shots

David Nolan- Dingy (h)

You had lost count of the number of bad things that had happened to you in the past few years – first you were living your life with your husband in the Enchanted Forest, then the curse happened and you completely forgot each other, when the curse was lifted you managed to get back into the life you had with your husband but that time it was in Storybrooke and then you were all dragged back to the Enchanted Forest once again.

It had been such a series of ups and downs, and in all honesty, you couldn't keep it with any of it anymore.

Since you had all been back in the Enchanted Forest again, Regina was back to her evil ways – even though it was seeming as if she was getting better – but everything was so much worse.

Regina was far more aware of who lived where in her kingdom, she knew their weaknesses and how to get to them. It was no longer her targeting David or you or Snow, it was anyone she could get her hands on.

You and David had gone your separate ways in order to try and gain more intel on Regina's new plan.

It was hard to be away from your husband, considering he was at sea with Killian and you were in the forest with Robin and the Merry Men.

However, the two of you had made the decision that going your separate ways for a while would be easier due to needing to cover more ground.

You remembered being in the forest with Robin and then an ambush was executed by Regina's soldiers and you told Robin to just run because he needed to get back to his son, Roland – it took a few minutes of you yelling at him, but he did listen and you were taken away by her soldiers.

Groaning as you woke up, you quickly looked around to see you were in a cold, damp and dark cell.

Being unfazed by the cell, you got up and ran to the door in an attempt to see if it would budge even a little or if one of the soldiers had been dumb enough to leave the cell door unlocked – unlikely but completely possible.

"The door's locked" you heard someone say from behind you.

You whipped around to see your husband, looking somewhat dishevelled and exhausted, leaning against the wall of the cell.

The two of you quickly embraced, him hugging you as if you would never see each other again but you felt just the same.

When you pulled away slightly, you looked up at him, "Why are you here? What happened?" you fired questions at him.

Your words caused him to chuckle slightly "I should be asking you the same questions my love" he answered with a smirk on his face.

Rolling your eyes, you shoved him gently, "Robin and I got ambushed, he was going to stay with me but I told him to leave because of Roland" you recalled past events to him.

He sighed and pulled you closer "Always putting others before yourself" he commented after pressing a kiss to the top of your head.

You smiled against his chest, with it feeling as if the two of you had never been away from one another and it didn't feel like you were in a dingy and rather disgusting cell.

Realising that your husband was yet to explain his side of the story, you gave him a pointed glare making him roll his eyes but smile nonetheless "I was going to get supplies for the ship, Killian said he would go however I can't exactly man a ship so he begrudgingly let me go" he explained.

You groaned once again, and then took a seat on the cell floor "Alright. Stories told" you stated, "Let's work out how we get out of this dingy thing"
