My need for resolution and communication resulted in this little reunion one shot. 1.5k, totally not spec fic because we’d never see Emma and Killian actually in bed together lol

The night doesn’t seem so still
during a thunderstorm, the rain cascading down and thudding against the roof as
the wind blows the trees in the front yard. Emma watches the storm from the
window seat in the bedroom, eyes widening every so often at the flash of lightening
before the deep crack of thunder rumbles seconds later. She looks over at
Killian sleeping in their bed, undisturbed by the storm. He’s probably slept
through a lot worse on the Jolly, the ship jostled violently by the stormy
seas. She had been caught in a storm many times in her life too, mostly during
the days when she didn’t have a safe and decent place to dry off and stay warm.

Despite the chill of the night
that sends a shiver through her, something burns in her chest and settles low
in her belly, a heat that can only be stoked by desire. Emma smiles to herself,
sucking in her bottom lip as she recalls the way Killian kissed her goodnight,
his lips lingering by hers a moment after to whisper his words of love before
settling down to sleep beside her.
