Once on Instagram III

Half

June 25, 2017

The Jolly Roger had pulled into the Storybrooke docks early in the morning, before the sun had fully risen. It seemed like the day had been set up for Emma and Belle to confront Hook about their theory.

Milah and Hook were watching Arrow when Emma and Belle arrived. After quickly explaining to Milah what I had told them over Instagram the previous night, Milah agreed that they could all talk to Hook about it.

"Okay, I'm starting to get a little worried," the pirate announced when Emma, Belle, and Milah all reentered the room. "Is something bad happening?"

"Not really." Emma shrugged, "We're just wondering something. It has to do with Chris Evans."

Hook's eyes lit up when Emma mentioned Chris Evans, but his expression quickly turned back to confusion. "What about Chris Evans?"

"Oh, just that straight men wouldn't talk about how hot he is and how big his muscles are," Belle said innocently.

"Well none of you are straight men, so I'm not sure how you would know that."

"Killian," Milah started, "we don't really care if you like guys or not, but Belle and Emma are trying to force a subplot into happening today, so they kind of want an answer."

"That is not what we're doing!" Emma protested.

"It kind of is what we're doing," Belle muttered.

"Tell you what," Hook stood up. "I may like guys, but I don't think I'm the person you're looking for, because I've known tat about myself for a while now. I just never cared, because I like girls more." He shrugged. "I'm mostly straight, and I really don't care if there's that little part that makes me bi. You two are probably looking for someone who has no idea they aren't straight. I think maybe you're looking for someone who is asexual."

Belle turned to face Emma, "I told you it might be Mulan!"

"But Mulan knows she's into girls!" Emma argued back. "I don't think it's her."

"You're looking for a main character, I'd say," Milah stated. "Not necessarily a main character in the show, but someone who has played a big part in this fanfic. Think of someone else who is on Instagram a lot, but maybe hasn't said anything about Pride Month."

Emma's face lit up, "Maybe it's Lily!"

Belle frowned, "You think she's asexual?"

"It doesn't have to be asexual. It could be something else."

"Okay, but if whoever it is is asexual you owe me ten bucks," Hook said as he sat back down on the couch.

"You two have fun," Milah said, "And don't give Hook ten bucks if Lily is ace."

"Hey!"

"You don't need money."

"Well, I think we should get going," Belle said as she grabbed Emma's arm. "See you all some other time!"
