I Love You,Too.

Emma Swan sat at a table at Granny’s Diner with a hot chocolate sprinkled with cinnamon sitting in front of her, looking out the window. For being summer it was a coolish day in Storybrooke but the sun was shining, she ran her finger through the whip cream and licked it from her finger. It had been a bit now since Emma had been cursed with the darkness but that wasn’t what was on her mind or should she say who was on her mind. August W. Booth, she chuckled softly as she thought of the first time she’d seen him in Storybrooke, he’d come to town to help her believe in magic and break the curse that let everyone remember who they were back in the Enchanted Forest. The curse had been broken and now everyone was free to live their lives the way they were supposed to, at least for them, Emma knew she still had a curse to deal with; she shook her head and sighed softly. Her mind drifted back to August and once again it brought a smile to the savior’s lips. He had watched over her for 28 years and Emma had always pushed him away because she felt it was best for him, she didn’t deserve him but he always came back.She had built walls up and never really let anyone over them...until August.  She could talk to him and he would never judge her, he was always there to support Emma, even with the current situation she was in he’d already made it known that he would be there to help her through it in any way he could and they had gotten quite close recently. Emma had found herself wanting any excuse to see him or talk to him. She was in a daze and hadn’t heard the bell above Granny’s front door ring and had no idea that someone had sat down at the table she was at until Emma felt hands over hers, her head jolted up a bit startled until she saw her mother, Snow White and her Daughter, Hope. She let out a breath and chuckled to herself, Hope leaned across the table and kissed Emma’s cheek. “Hey Mamma!”  “So what..or should I say who had you so deep in thought, Emma?” Emma looked at her mother and could feel the warmth creeping up into her cheeks. “It’s him again isn’t it?” Her mom said matter of factly. “I can see the way you look at him and the way he looks at you when you’re together. You love him” Snow gave Emma a knowing look and her blushed deepened as she nodded. Hope excitedly bounced in her seat. Her mom placed her hands over Emma’s. “Emma I love you, you’re my daughter but you’ve spent so much time making sure everyone else has their happy ending since the curse broke...Don’t you think it’s about time you get yours?” Her voice was soft as she spoke and again August’s face entered her mind. “I..” she chewed her lip momentarily. “I do love him mom” Emma let out a wistful sigh and Hope continued to bounce in her seat. Snow just smiled from ear to ear at her daughter. “He’s good for you sweetheart.”  She placed a hand over Emma’s again, her mother’s eyes misting slightly as she looked at her. “With August you’ve done what I don’t think you’ve ever been able to really do..you let true love in and that is the greatest gift you’ll ever get.” Hope looked at her mom and smiled. “You deserve to be happy, mom!” Emma chuckled and wiped her own eyes. “You think so huh?” Hope nodded and grinned.  Emma’s phone distracted her and she pulled it from her pocket, her eyes widened slightly when August’s name showed up on the caller ID. “It’s him,” Snow grinned. “Answer it Emma” She let out a breath and pressed the accept button on her phone. “Hey what’s up?” August had just been calling to check in on her, her eyes lifted and her mother was mouthing words to her, Emma chuckled softly. “Are you..busy?” She chewed on her lip. “Can we meet up? I..need talk to you about something” Snow watched Emma and placed both crossed fingers in front of her and Hope followed.  “I’ll be right there.” Snow leaned over and kissed Emma’s forehead and Hope followed her grandmother’s motions again and did the same. “Good Luck Sweetheart!” She felt her heart beating faster as she left Granny’s and headed just a few blocks to where August had been staying at Granny’s Boarding House. The words that her mother had said earlier started to echo through her head and it seemed like Emma couldn’t get there fast enough. “Does he really?” She finally made her way to the house, opening the door and stepping inside; August was already waiting on her and when she saw him it was like the world stopped for Emma, the smile he had made Emma weak in the knees. “Hey” “Hey yourself” She chuckled softly as he took a few steps from the door and she was wrapped in his arms, Emma’s senses swirled. After a few minutes she felt him step back, trying to hide the blush in her cheeks. August took her hand and they walked back into his room, he pulled a chair out for Emma before sitting down in another one. “So what brings you here?” Emma closed her eyes for a second, she realized sitting wasn’t the best idea for what she had to say so she slowly stood up, August’s eyes followed her. “Hey Emma..what’s going on?” She paced for a few seconds before realizing that he was standing in front of her with a concerned look on his face. “Talk to me” She took a breath and rested her forehead on his shoulder for a few seconds, then felt his arms protectively come around her. “Is it the darkness? Did something happen?” Emma finally lifted her head and looked at him, she could hear her own heart beating in her chest as she slowly shook her head. “No, it’s not the darkness. So far that’s been..quiet.” He was still concerned but Emma could see him relax a bit. “Then what’s going on with you?” His voice held nothing but care and concern for her. It had taken Emma a bit to calm her nerves enough to be able to finally speak, she lifted her head and looked into August’s eyes, her stomach jumping as he looked back at her. “You’ve always been there for me and things..feelings have changed for me when it comes to..us.” August looked at Emma but didn’t say anything, she let out a breath and continued. “You’ve known me my whole life and you know I had walls up.” He nodded. “You not only climbed over those walls but you broke them down.” She sniffled softly as a few tears slid down her cheeks and August brushed them away with his thumbs, his hand cupped her cheeks. Emma looked into his eyes. “I love you August.” He didn’t say anything. Instead he pressed his lips to Emma’s and pulled her close, his arms wrapped around her waist and hers wrapped around his shoulders, his kiss held words that didn’t need to be spoken. When the kiss finally broke both of them were smiling and he rested his forehead against hers. “I love you, too.” That was all that Emma needed..Those four words and August..Emma would always need August. He was her savior and she knew no matter what they could get through anything..together.
