Note: I loved 6×06, but I need more CS. I need them to really discuss the things that have happened. I’ve already written about the lies and secrets before, so I just wanted to explore some of the things that happened in this last episode. Just a short thing! Hope you enjoy it! ~Steph
…Late Night Confessions: Part 1/1…
He felt her eyes on his face as they lay beside each other in bed late that night.
“I could never hate you,” she whispered in the dark.
Killian turned to face Emma, his gaze meeting hers. “What?”
He saw the tiny smile appear on her face, which was bathed in moonlight. “You said that you couldn’t lose the one thing that could save me, even if it meant I hated you for it.” She paused, shaking her head slightly. “There’s nothing you could ever do that would make me hate you, Killian. I love you so much. And I know that everything you do is out of love for me and in an effort to protect me.”
He nodded, as he reached out and caressed her cheek. “Thank you for being so understanding, love.”
“How could I not be after everything I did to save your life?” she said.
“And I’ll do everything in my power to save yours, Swan. As I told your boy, we will find another way to save you.”
Emma sucked in a breath. “You know, I think a part of me gave you those shears, instead of my parents or Regina, because I knew there was a chance you would hold onto them. I think a part of me wanted you to. I said I didn’t want them to fall into the wrong hands, but, the truth is, I was afraid I might be tempted to use them. But by giving them to you… deep down, I think I believed then I might still have them as an option if the worst happened.”
Killian swallowed hard, as a lump formed in his throat. “I’m sorry, Emma. Perhaps I should have come clean about my deception before disposing of them, like you had originally asked. Perhaps I should have given you the chance to change your mind.”
Emma shook her head. “No, you made the right decision. Severing the ties to my fate isn’t the answer. I need to find a way to change my fate.”
