Summary: Emma throws a surprise party for Killian in Storybrooke, one year post 5×21. Fluffy-angst (because I seem incapable of straight up fluff at the moment)
A/N:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, @gusenitsaa! This one’s for you! Thank you for being such an amazing literary inspiration, so incredibly nice, wonderfully funny, and letting me play with you in The Corner on occasion. Here’s to many more great years (and heartwrenchingly-awesome fics) for you! (inspired by @sweetestinthegale‘s birthday discussion)

In
the end, it didn’t really matter what Emma did to hide it, he didn’t see it
coming either way. How could he, when not even he knew what day it was?“SURPRISE!”
She heard him gasp at her side,
felt his body tense in shock, his elbow tightening against her. She
couldn’t help the smile that threatened to split her face in two.“What’s all this?” he managed,
glancing around the crowded diner. It was decorated with streamers and
balloons, various food dishes and baked goods at every counter, and the smiling
faces of everyone Killian knew in town.She smiled up at him. “Your
birthday party,” she said.
