I decided to post a part two, of the morning after, based on a prompt from @dmarien who wanted Emma snuggled with Killian and really opening up about her feelings. Fluff and Smut. Thank you to the one and only @laschatzi for your beta skills and your encouragement!
The next morning Emma woke to Killian gently nudging her arm. “Morning,” she mumbled in a sleep filled voice. “What time is it?”
“It’s only six love, I can’t sleep anymore. I just didn’t want to alarm you if I wasn’t here when you woke,” he answered, pressing a soft kiss to her forehead.
A sweet smile broke through her groggy haze. His thoughtfulness would never cease to amaze her. “Thank you,” she whispered, then gave him a peck on his lips.
Killian made to get up from the bed, but Emma threw her hand out to grab at his arm, “Where are you running off to?” she asked. “Stay and snuggle.”
“Just for a bit, love, then I want to get some food in you, and since you have none, I’ll be running out for a bit,” he spoke quietly. Killian laid back down and let Emma snuggle into him.
Squirming so she could fully settle into the safe haven of his arms, she felt relaxation sweep over her as he rubbed soothing circles to her back. Emma breathed in the fresh scent of her boyfriend, and let it comfort her. She was out within five minutes.
Killian delicately pulled away from her so he wouldn’t rouse her again, then he bundled her in the comforter, and kissed her on the cheek. Having showered the night before, he brushed, dressed in dark blue jeans and a black henley (clothes he’d purchased before his untimely death), and got ready to go grab breakfast.
As Killian strolled down Storybrooke’s main street he saw the prince locking up the Sheriff’s station. “Morning, Dave,” he greeted his friend.
“Morning, what has you up and out this early in the morning,” David asked conversationally.
“Your daughter’s lack of food in the house,” he replied, scratching that spot behind his ear. He wasn’t quite sure if the prince and the bandit knew that he would be staying with their daughter on a permanent basis. May as well just get it out there, he thought.
Powerful – part two
