“I… am a librarian!” he announced proudly, far too drunk to bother keeping quiet despite the silence of the night around their camp. Emma barely suppressed a smile at Killian’s charmingly wholesome (albeit alcohol-induced) declaration, but it faltered when he then dropped abruptly to his knees in the sand before her.
Hazy, unfocused eyes bore into hers, and whatever inhibitions he may have had during daylight that prevented him from voicing his clear desire for her was gone. There was a dreamy sort of look to his expression, lustful though it was, and Emma sunk her teeth into her lower lip for the briefest moment at the spark of want deep in her gut. The way the firelight danced over his features made him look ethereal, almost. Fragile.
One of his hands slipped over her knee, the other hovering inches from her face, as if he weren’t entirely sure where to place it.
“And I am going to kiss you, Miss Swan.” His voice faded to a whisper and Emma swallowed down the anxious lump in her throat. She croaked out the only words that managed to come to her in the moment.
“Call me Emma.”
“Oh…” His flushed cheeks rose with a sheepish smile for barely a second before that yearning, earnest gaze returned. Finally, his fingertips brushed against her cheek, his thumb coming to rest softly against her lip. “E-Emma.”
DO THEY KISS? DOES KILLIAN PASS OUT? Who knows? *whistles*
