One year later...

July 21st and the day Killian and Emma had worked so long and hard for finally arrived.

Graduation.

It was a big day from them both. Emma was even giving a speech as valedictorian of their graduating class.

That morning, Emma and Killian's lips were fused together in a heated kiss as they rolled around the bed in their apartment.

Emma smiled against him, forcing herself to pull away softly. She leaned on her elbows over his body, nuzzling her nose against his.

"Alright, enough distractions," Emma giggled, her face flushed. "We gotta get ready."

Killian didn't answer. He only gazed up into her bright green eyes intently.

"What?" Emma asked, blushing.

Even after over a year and a half of being together, he still brought butterflies to her stomach.

"I just love you, Emma. So bloody much," Killian answered, shaking his head in awe.

Wth that, he leaned up to her, catching her lips with his once more in a loving kiss, enveloping her into a hug, and she quickly melted into his touch.

"Mmm," Emma sighed happily into the kiss as Killian deepened it, holding her as close as physically possible.

"Killian," Emma mumbled between kisses. "We gotta get ready."

Killian ignored her, holding her hips in his warm hands and pressing himself against her.

"Killian," Emma moaned, half out of annoyance and half of pleasure.

"You're no fun," Killian pouted jokingly, pecking her lips softly before he let her go so they could get ready.

"I'm so glad we don't have to go to work after the ceremony," Emma said to Killian as she headed into the bathroom.

"Aye, love. Agreed," Killian smiled, holding her by the waist from behind as she brushed her teeth. He slipped his hands under her pyjama top, rubbing her sides lovingly as he kissed up her neck.

Emma smiled to herself, blushing slightly, and turned in his arms to hug him when she'd finished with her teeth.

She rested her head and hands on his chest as he wrapped his arms around her petite figure.

"Killian?" She said softly.

"Hm?" he hummed, rubbing her back soothingly.

"I love you," Emma said sincerely, pressing little kisses to his chest.

Killian smiled down at her with love filled eyes and kissed her forehead softly.

His heart still fluttered each time she was the one to say that first.

"I love you too, Emma," he replied, hugging her tighter.

Half an hour later...

"Emma, darling? Do you remember where I put my cap and gown?!" Killian called from their room while Emma was finishing up her shower.

"Uh.. yeah, check the far right side of the closet? Near your leather jacket?" Emma called back.

"Eh... aye, found it! Thank you!"
