Captain Swan AU – idea and text by @this-too-too-sullied-flesh – Chuck AU
“You’d
do that for me?”Instead
of answering his question, she continued to drive, her eyes sweeping each side
of the road for any possible threats.“Are
you certain?”Keeping
one hand on the wheel, Emma reached out and shifted into fourth. They needed to
put some distance between them and Storybrooke.Taking
a deep breath, she did what she always made the mistake of doing–she looked
over at Killian Jones, her asset of the last year or so–and met his eyes–his
earnest, true-blue eyes full of sincerity and love. She reached out to touch
his arm but as always did no such thing; touching him was too much, too
tempting. Instead, she cleared her throat and nodded at him twice, noticing how
his eyes widened a little at her acknowledgement.“Swan.”
His voice was soft and low, and carrying a little bit of warning. But lying
beneath all of it was that note that was always there when it was just the two
of them–no CIA breathing down her neck, no Agent Charming, her partner,
looming over her all threatening and watching her every move. No; when it was
just Emma and just Killian, he was a little different–softer, sweeter. She’d
been wondering for the better part of a year if he’d been in love with her from
the moment they’d met.“That’s
treason,” he finished, searching her eyes to make sure it was what she wanted.
Always, he made it clear that he was looking out for her.“I
know,” she returned with a soft smile, facing forward again, forcing herself to
look away.She
floored it, steering vaguely toward a place she thought they could hide out in
until shit back in town settled, surprisingly complacent about the fact that
she’d just kidnapped the best asset owned by the combined might of both the CIA
and the NSA–Killian Jones, the man with all the secrets of the world tucked
into his head like some supercomputer.
