Daily DOQ Drabble #53

More of Regina falling for kittens.

They’d been taking Roland around the neighborhood, the three of them casually strolling down the street hand in hand behind him as the little man skips up and down sidewalks and shouts, Trick or Treat!, at every house. He’s dressed as a dragon, had wanted to go as Mal and the blonde had nearly burst into tears when he’d declared his decision weeks ago.

Though apparently too old now to go trick or treating, Henry had graciously offered to pass out candy at their own house with Violet so all of them could go with Roland. So they’re making their way back up the drive, when the creature darts out in front of them from the bushes.

“Look! A kitty!” Roland exclaims, dropping his basket and letting candy spill out as he tries to catch it.

It’s Mal who steps in, placing a hand to his shoulder and curtailing him with a, “Slow down. We don’t want to scare it.” She bends down to one knee, making soft clicking sound with her tongue and reaching out an open palm to the kitten. The animal hesitates a second before moving to rub against Mal’s hand, arching it’s back under her touch. “Oh aren’t you gorgeous,” she purrs.

“Can we keep him?” Roland asks, turning huge puppy dog eyes on Regina. She’s the one who he needs approval from. The tough one to crack. And they all know it. Robin poorly stifles a chuckle beside her.

She wants to say no, they already have Malum, and she’d been firm in her resistance of that in the beginning. But the little devil’s stolen her heart and this one has affectionately hopped up into her love’s arms while it lets Roland pet it, stares at her with big glowing eyes and reminds her of their tiny grey terror.

Regina sighs, transfers her gaze to Mal’s and easily reads the silent longing in the other woman’s. “What should we name him?”

First time Regina and Robin ask Mal to have sex. Day 3 of @doqweek

She blinks at them. Bright blue eyes wide with surprise. A weighted silence hanging in the air before she speaks. “That's what you want?” Her gaze locks with Regina's, shifts to Robin's, “What you both want?”

The two of them nod in unison and Regina's other hand reaches out to grasp Mal's, pulls it closer so it can rest atop her and Robin's joined ones. “We’ve talked about this. You’re both important parts of my life. I don’t want to lose either of you.” Her gaze darts to Robin’s for a moment, a silent moment of communication passing between them before Regina looks at Mal again. “We want to try this. If you’re willing.”

It would be a lie to say the blonde hasn’t thought about it before. Ever since Robin had returned. What it would be like with them. She’s seen the way the two of them interact, even envied the connection that is so clearly visible whenever they are together. But she and Regina share one as well. And the thief intrigues her. Beyond the simple fact that she finds him quite attractive.

Is this really something that could work?

Maleficent eyes them, considering for another few moments before a slow smirk slides across her face. “Well, what are we waiting for?”

Day 7 of @doqweek

She’s tied to the bed. Hands and ankles bound to their respective corners. Spread out for them like a delectable dessert on display. Something for their eyes and mouths to feast on. Blonde curls cascade over her shoulders, down over her breasts as she watches Regina and Robin kiss, kneeling at the end of the bed between her legs. His fingers tangle in dark locks as Regina strokes his straining erection for a moment before they pull away from each other and eye her hungrily.

Mal groans, already slick and ready for them, her sex glistening as Regina smirks and settles between her thighs. Her tongue snakes out to lick along her folds and Maleficent does her best to arch into the sensation even as she’s limited in her movements. Robin’s fingers swirl along her skin, skimming up her thigh, the other hand along the small of Regina’s back, before circling her navel and then reaching up to cup her breast, thumbing at her nipple.

Thank god they hadn’t forced her to wear the blindfold this evening. Not being able to see either of them while they lavish her body with attention would be absolute torture.

Settling beside her, Robin mutters against the side of her breast, his breath hot and tempting against her skin, “You’re gorgeous, darling,” a moment before his mouth latches onto her nipple, suckling it as Regina does the same to her clit. And Mal can’t contain the loud moan that rips from her throat. Thankfully, the boys are away for the day. She can be as loud as she desires. Can scream until she’s hoarse from the pleasure they bring her.

There’s no doubt in her mind that by the time they’re done with her, she’ll be shouting from the rooftops.

DOQ Family BBQ - Day 2 of #DOQWeek @doqweek

How Snow had talked her into hosting a summer BBQ in her backyard Regina will never know. But here they are. Burgers and hot dogs on the grill, potato salad and fruit spread out on the long table she’s set up on the patio. Fresh squeezed lemonade because what’s the point in doing something halfway? People milling around, coming in and out of the back door. It seems as if half the population of Storybrooke is here. (They aren’t. Not even close. But it’s still too much for Regina.)

But Roland’s laughter carries through the light breeze to reach her ears as he and Little John toss water balloons at each other, running in circles through the grass as the bulky man chases him. She watches them with a lazy smile from the kitchen window as she stirs sugar into another batch of that lemonade, just as Robin’s arms wrap around her from behind, his chin resting on its familiar perch on her shoulder.

“You look happy.”

Regina’s grin grows, spreading across her whole face as her hands settle atop his around her waist. Her gaze drifts over to Mal and Henry. It appears he’s trying to teach her the game of corn hole, much to Maleficent’s confusion, and Regina chuckles as Lily wanders over to aid her mother. Snow and Charming play with Neal in the grass while Archie sneaks Pongo bits of his hamburger bun. Never would she have thought she could have this. A simple summer day with her family.

With a quiet sigh, Regina’s cheek rests against Robin’s brow for a moment as she answers, “I am.”

Day 1 of #DOQWeek! A little PDA at Granny’s. @doqweek

None of them are very shy. Anything but actually. However, their relationship isn’t something that many people in Storybrooke understand. It baffles them. And even though Regina has gotten to the point that most residents won’t flat out say anything derogatory directly to her face, she doesn’t miss the curious and judgemental glances that are thrown their way every now and then. On top of that, Mal has always been a private person, doesn’t like to air her personal business to anyone. Robin, for his part, cares about them both enough to respect their desire to keep what’s between them at just that.

For the three of them alone.

So they generally keep the public displays of affection to a minimum while out and about. But they’ve been in this relationship for six months now. Half a year of smiles and laughter, and struggles, yes, but also absolute bliss. And none of them can keep their affection contained.

Today they don’t care about anyone but each other.

Regina sits in a booth at Granny’s and lets Mal drape her arm over her shoulder, her long slender fingers playing with the ends of her hair. Regina and Robin play a bit of footsie beneath the table as they wait for their food to arrive. And the three of them flirt shamelessly with each other over the meal. Robin and Mal’s rich laughter echoing through the diner as he tangles his fingers with hers, as Mal holds out a french fry for Regina to chew on.

When they stand to leave, Mal pulls Regina against her and deposits a kiss to her lips. Nothing scandalous, only a deep press of mouths really, but more than they typically indulge themselves in with people around. As they pull apart, Regina catches Robin grinning at them, holding out Mal’s coat to her. The blonde slips into it and then turns in Robin’s arms as he leans in to kiss her as well before he reaches out a hand to grasp Regina’s and pulls her into their embrace. He shifts his head to give her a smooch as well and for just this minute, this day, none of them care about the curious stares of the other inhabitants of the diner watching them.

Day 6 of @doqweek “I miss you”

Robin and Mal are curled together in bed, the thief spooned behind the dragon, fast asleep. Regina takes a moment to admire them from the doorway, the light from the hallway spilling over the bed. Mal's slow and even breathing, the way her chest rises and falls as Robin's soft inhales and exhales tickle one of the curls on her neck. His arm is hooked around her waist, drawing her into him, his hand resting just beneath her breast.

She loves them so much. More than words can ever do justice to. How she's missed them the last several days.

As quietly as possible she sneaks into the room, cautious not to wake them as she tiptoes over the soft carpet into the bathroom, readying herself to join them. Not even ten minutes later she's lifting the comforter and sliding in next to Maleficent. The blonde instantly stirs, seemingly recognizing her presence even in slumber as she scoots a tad closer to Regina's body, reaching out a hand to land on the brunettes hip. “Hmmmm… Regina?”

“Shhh, go back to sleep. I didn't mean to wake you.”

Mal's eyes remain closed as she nods slowly, but her arm pulls Regina into her body as she nuzzles her nose into Regina's neck. Placing a light kiss to her skin, she sleepily murmurs, “We missed you tonight. Please tell me the Charming’s have finally averted their crisis.”

Chuckling, Regina nods, lets her nose rub over the apple of Mal's cheek as her arm settles around her and Robin's waists, her nails scratching lightly over the cotton of his t-shirt along the base of his spine. It's enough to startle him back to semi-consciousness. So much for not waking them, Regina berates mentally. Not that she really minds. After days spent mostly away from them, the three of them need a bit of cuddle time.

“R’gina?” Robin slurs in that sexy, hoarse accent, shifting his arm so both of them are wrapped in his embrace. She answers him quietly, gives him the same order she's just given Mal to go back to sleep and smiles when he tells her groggily, “Glad y’ur home. Missed you.” Before he's out again.

It doesn't take long for her to join her lovers in slumber, not with the steady calm of the the two people she loves breathing lulling her to sleep.

Day 5 of @doqweek “Teach me”

Magic has never been something Robin is overly comfortable with. Not after his run-ins with The Dark One and the way it had ultimately failed to save Marian. Then there’s the issues of spells and curses that bring back dead wives and leave them frozen, only to discover it’s really your lover’s crazy sister. Magic is complicated. And always comes with a price. Robin has always done his best to steer clear of it.

But it’s also a vital part of both of the women he loves. One that he wants to understand, even embrace if possible. For the two of them, Regina and Mal, he’s willing to give it another chance. To learn more about this side of their lives.

He stands opposite them in Regina’s vault, surrounded by spellbooks and mysterious looking potions. Clear blue eyes flickering between Maleficent and Regina’s, down to the cauldron they’re adding various liquids and ingredients to. His gaze settles back on Regina’s as he says, “Teach me,” before shifting it back to Mal’s.

“Alright.” They answer in unison, glancing at each other with demur, amused smiles for a moment before focusing on him once more.

Robin listens intently as Regina explains what they are doing, why each ingredient is important, how each plays off each other. He watches Regina pour and stir and toss, and when he catches Mal studying him out of the corner of his eye, appreciation etched onto her features, Robin thinks abandoning his previous views on magic well worth it.

Mal gives Regina some advice in the missing year @doqweek

“Stop pushing him away.”

Regina’s head whips around at the sound of Maleficent’s voice behind her, breaking her out of the revere with which she’d been watching Robin and Roland playing in the garden. She sits under her apple tree. One of the only god forsaken places in this damn castle, this damn land, that brings her any measure of peace.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Regina responds as the dragon takes a seat next to her on the bench and she does her best to ignore the hum of indulgence Mal gives her, though it’s clear she’s only humoring her. “I have absolutely no interest in a forest dwelling thief.” There’s a bite to her words, a bit too forceful, and they sound false even to her own ears.

The blonde merely tilts her head toward her, smiling softly. “You forget how well I know you, Regina.” She pauses then, as if debating the merit of her next words. “I’ve seen the tattoo.”

Regina’s breath catches in her throat. She’s done her damnedest to forget about the inky black lion crest that paints Robin’s forearm. To not let it weigh on her mind even as she runs in the opposite direction or fights like a dog with him to cover the magnetic pull she feels toward him. But she’s known Mal a very long time and they’ve shared many things. Including tales of pixie dust and second chances and soulmates. She shouldn’t be surprised the other woman has discovered that little twist of fate.

“It doesn’t mean anything.” Regina lies, refusing to look at her.

“Sure it does,” Mal answers easily, rising to her feet once more and looking down on the woman she holds such affection for. “You deserve to give yourself the chance at happiness, Regina.” Blue eyes flicker over to where Robin laughs with his son, twin sets of dimples winking. “And so does he.” As the blonde turns to walk away, leaving Regina to chew on her words, she calls back over her shoulder, “If you don’t snatch him up, I will.”

Mal is too hot after sex and wants them to cuddle without her

Robin tries to wrap himself around her after they collapse down onto the mattress, just like he usually does, as is their habit. But Mal’s overly warm today, her body still throbbing and pulsing from that last orgasm and she’s not in the mood today. “No, you and Regina cuddle without me. I’m on fire.” she admits.

The brunette’s eyes peek open to stare at them from Robin’s other side, her expression curious but not at all opposed to the suggestion. Robin chuckles, places a light kiss to Mal’s lips and nods. Regina scooches closer to him, settling her head along his shoulder as he wraps an arm around her shoulders, slips his fingers through her disheveled hair, while Mal slides a few inches in the other direction.

Her chest is still heaving from the exertion of the last hour, breath gradually slowing down as they lie there. Regina’s palm coasts over Robin’s abdomen, hand reaching out for Mal’s anyway. She may not want their bodies pressed together but Regina still wants them all to feel connected. Interlocking their fingers, Mal turns her head to smile at her, lips spreading wider when Robin’s hand ventures down from Regina’s hair to rest over their joined ones. The three of them are perfectly content to stay just like this for the next little while.

The first time Regina and Robin see Mal after he gets back from NY in honor of @mysterious-song‘s birthday :)

He can tell there’s something between them, or had been at one point, the first time Robin sees them together. After all, he knows Regina better than most, recognizes her body language, can read her moods. And her affection for the blonde woman is radiating from her. But there’s a touch of awkwardness hanging in the air, words unspoken. However, Robin says nothing, merely smiles and makes small talk as Regina introduces him to Maleficent during lunch at Granny’s.

Later, when he and Regina are alone, back at the mansion, he asks about it, and she freezes. Robin can see her hesitation, is quick to assure her she doesn’t have to tell him, it’s not as if he doesn’t have things he’d rather forget from the time they’d been separated. It takes a few moments before Regina finally admits that they’d slept together while he’d been in New York, that she’d been upset and heartbroken and Mal had provided a bit of familiar comfort. She continues to explain that they’d had something of a relationship in the Enchanted Forest, nothing that had a chance to become truly serious, but that she’s cared deeply for the dragon for many years.

And that’s that. Robin doesn’t press for details, doesn’t need any more information than that. He tells Regina he loves her, and that whatever happened during those awful weeks apart, he’s beyond grateful to have her back in his life.

But it does make Robin wonder...

New Years Eve

The clock on the mantle chimes midnight, signaling the beginning of a new year, a fresh start. Henry and Roland dance excitedly around the living room, blowing on noisemakers endlessly, though one would think they would be tired of them by now after hours of use.

Robin ventures in from the kitchen with Mal, two champagne flutes in his hand, one in her own as he smiles that grin that has his dimples creasing in his cheeks and hands one to Regina. “Happy New Year, my loves.” He says, toasting them each as they take a sip

Having been schooled in the traditions of this world, he leans in for a kiss, lingers over Regina’s lips, the taste of the sweet liquid on her tongue, then moves to slip his arms around her, resting his chin on her shoulder. They smile at Mal and Regina reaches out a hand to her, pulling the other woman into their embrace. The two of them share a sweet kiss, Regina’s fingers threading through blonde curls for a moment before Mal turns her head slightly and places a peck on Robin’s lips as well.

This year has brought them so much, more happiness and love than they ever could have imagined, with the three of them and their little family. With the blank slate of a new year, they can’t wait to discover what else life has in store for them.

On the twelfth day of Christmas... Christmas morning

It comes as no shock whatsoever that Roland is the one to wake them up, wiggling his tiny little form into the small amount of space between Maleficent and Robin's bodies. He shakes his father awake, jostling Mal and Regina in the process as he exclaims in what is likely meant to be a whisper, however, is anything but, “Wake up! It's Christmas! And Santa came!” He turns around, collapsing himself over the blonde and insists, “Mal, R’gina, wake up!”

Regina groans, cracks one eyelid open enough to see his smiling face studying her expectantly, then shuts it once more. They can't fault him his excitement. It's his first Christmas here in Storybrooke and it's all rather thrilling for a six year old. This day is all Roland's been talking about for weeks.

He huffs in exasperation when none of them move and Regina hears Mal chuckle beside her, opening her eyes again to see her threading her fingers though floppy brown curls. “Why don't you and Henry head downstairs and we'll be down in a minute. Alright, darling?”

Okay! He near shouts and then bounces back off the bed as quickly as he'd climbed in.

Robin rolls toward them, draping an arm over their waists as he nuzzles his nose into Mal's hair. “He’ll only be back if we don't get up.” The two of them hum in agreement, lying there for one more minute before they shift to wrap themselves in robes and head downstairs to a very excited little boy on Christmas morning.

On the eleventh day of Christmas... Regina wraps herself up like a present for them

“There’s just one more present I forgot! Upstairs. I’ll just run up and grab it.” Regina exclaims, dashing out of the living room and softly padding up the steps before either Robin or Maleficent can question her.

They’re laying out all the presents for Christmas morning, those ones from Santa that have been hidden away in their closet for the better part of a month. And it’s really quite a miracle that Roland hasn’t found them yet. What with his excitement over his first real Christmas. The boy’s been a bundle of anticipation for weeks. And even though Henry’s a bit old now to believe in the whole Santa thing he’s been playing along, pumping up Roland’s enthusiasm. And he hasn’t been above snooping through packages wrapped beneath the tree. He is Robin’s son after all. The concealment spell Mal had placed over their closet had probably helped on that account though.

Placing the last of the presents they’d carted down here and looking around the blonde frowns and then tilts her head at Robin. “What is she talking about? Everything’s here.”

Robin counts the pile of gifts as well, nodding in agreement with her, and shrugs. “Maybe she bought something else and didn’t tell us? She’s been up there longer than it should take though. Perhaps we should go check on her?”

The two of them head upstairs, weaving their way through the familiar mansion in the dark until they reach their bedroom, gently pushing open the door and then they halt at the sight that greets them. Regina is lounging naked on their bed. Well nearly naked. There’s a large red bow tied around her chest, another around her hips and she’s grinning wickedly at them.

“Merry Christmas.”

On the tenth day of Christmas... Baking Christmas cookies

Another holiday tradition they get to share with the new members of their little family this year is baking Christmas cookies. It’s turned into an entire event, taking over every available surface in the kitchen. Regina and Mal mix the sugary dough together, bits of stray flour finding their way across cheekbones and down the bridges of their noses as they grin at each other. Robin stands across from them on the other side of the island, smirking as he rolls out dough onto baking sheets.

The boys have made camp over at the kitchen table. Henry using their many Christmas cookie cutters to make a variation of shapes. Trees and stockings, candy canes and snowflakes, a few santa hats and snowmen. As each batch comes out of the oven they’re deposited in front of Roland, cautioned to be careful of them being hot and to let them cool for a few minutes before he goes crazy with his icing. Roland’s designs have gotten a little wild but he’s having great fun with it, giggling over every cookie as he heaps icing onto them, and none of them have the heart to tell him to go easy on the sugar.

Christmas music plays quietly in the background and Regina sings quietly beneath her breath, laughing as Robin ventures around the counter, sweeping Mal into a dance that makes Henry and Roland laugh. All of them sneaking bites of cookie here and there. It’s a thoroughly pleasant way to spend an afternoon together.

On the ninth day of Christmas... Regina picking out their Christmas gifts

Picking out Robin’s gift is easy this year. It’s the first time they’ve really been able to celebrate the holiday together, well in Storybrooke at least. And she’d been far too melancholy, heartbroken really, to have felt the joy of the season in the missing year. Not that she would have gotten him anything anyways. Their relationship had been far too tumultuous then.

So she’d wanted something to remind them of their relationship. The crystal whiskey set had been a perfect find. Bringing back memories of charged sexual tension, instant attraction, subtly veiled compliments. That first time they’d met here and despite the loss of their memories, their hearts had recognized each others. Robin’s going to love it.

Mal she struggles with, frets over what to get the blonde. She and Mal have more of a history, there’s more baggage between them. But they’ve moved past that now, are in such a good place. All three of them. She wants to get her something special for Christmas. She and Snow are out shopping when she finds it, in Gold’s shop of all places, but as soon as Regina sees it she knows Maleficent has to have it. It’s an elegant blown glass dragon, in a deep purple, wings lifted in flight. It reminds her of Mal, of the time in their lives when Regina had helped her regain who she was and it’s an absolutely perfect gift. She haggles with Rumple for a few minutes, surprised when he releases it to her without the condition of a deal. But Regina will take it.

Exceedingly happy with her purchases, she quickly goes home, wraps up both Robin and Mal’s gifts in pretty paper and extravagant bows, places them both beneath the tree with love and can’t wait to see their faces when they open them come Christmas morning.
