canon: once upon a time

Look, I know you're excited and all, but can't you wait just one more week?

It's not like you're gonna do anything with me right away anyway. That and you gotta get my voice down, right?

So let's just settle down and take our time.

I think next week can't take long enough in getting here.

[ people emma is not eager to see again: you. after how deeply that wound cut and how deeply she cared for him (and how obviously still not over it she is, never replacing her car and never taking off that pendant), everything in her is pretty much screaming that she's not ready for this. and worse - if he is really who they're looking for ... ]

I, uh...

Guess you got a point there.

Let's just make one thing clear, right now. You are not coming back with us. I don't care whose son you might be. [ maturity, thy name is emma swan. she can't help it, though. she doesn't want him around henry. having him around henry means giving him the chance to bail on henry (on both of them, AGAIN), and she's just not willing to let him hurt henry that way. she's experienced firsthand just how bad it is. ]

What makes you think I want to go back? I've got a life for me here.

[Except he does. Well, not you-know-who but Emma and his son? Yes please.]

[ oh that's ok neal just go ahead and rub salt in that wound. there's a flicker of hurt in her expression - no, of course he wouldn't want to. of course he'd want to stay away. that's why he'd abandoned her in the first place. the look gets quashed out by hardness soon enough, and she just straightens. ]

Glad we're on the same page.

[Oh crap. He probably shouldn't have said anything, huh? That blank look of his wavers pretty hard.]

Look-- I...

[What should he even say?]

I don't want to hear it.

Whatever it is you think you need to say? You had ten years to say it, and you weren't gonna bother until I came and chased you down.

Don't waste your breath, or anyone's time.

[Yeah, he's got nothing.]

Patience appears to be something they're not acquainted with.

[Promo, what promo? I have no idea what you're talking about. It's not like this is going to be awkward or anything.]

...Yeah. Patience is one of those hard things, huh?

[Oh you have no idea.]

For some people, patience can be one of the most difficult things for them.

[I could guess.]

[And he lets out an uncomfortable laugh.]

I don't know, I'm a pretty patient guy.

I never meant to imply otherwise. I was merely trying to say that being patient, being forced to wait, can be more painful than ever thought imaginable. Especially when you are forced to wait for the best chance to fix a mistake.

Oh, I didn't... mean to imply that you implied I wasn't. I've kinda made my own mess of things. Funny how that works out.

[Head tilt. Henry has no idea who you are.]

What's your mun so excited about?

[Oh crap. Neal might be good at pretending to be a bit of a loser, but he's not an idiot. He's got a good idea who this boy is.]

Oh, haha. You know.
