For @deadn0tsleeping :)

Today was the day, no turning back on plans, you were going to tell Henry how much you love him. You two are just friends, but anyone can tell that you have a massive crush on Henry. Everyone except Henry, of course.

No matter how hard you try to set up dates or buy him random presents or try to spend as much time with him, he just can't see that you like him. He is completely blind to your love which frustrates you, but at the same time you don't blame him.

You're not one for dropping hints. You can be subtle but then you can be too subtle. David didn't even see the connection until Mary told him. Ugh, romance is so difficult.

You decided no hints today; you were going to straight up tell Henry that you love him, and hopefully he feels the same way. He always seems to have an interest in you, but you can read boys as great as you can read Wuthering Heights, now that is a hard book to read.*

You called up Henry and told him to meet you up at the docks for hot chocolate and laid-back conversation, which is one of your favourite things to do with Henry. He said he would meet you at the docks in half an hour because he was currently helping Emma with some errands.

Little did he know that that was all part of your plan. You had asked Emma to keep Henry busy while you and Hook set up what you needed at the docks. Like how you and Henry set up Killian and Emma, you were now getting him to help set up you and Henry. It's much stranger to comprehend now that you think of it.

Killian got the hot chocolates from Granny's Diner while you asked Belle for advice on what to say. She told you to just flow with your heart and let it speak for you, but that's going to be so much harder than what it seems. Apparently to Belle romance is everyone's first language, but you weren't so certain considering you couldn't be romantic if you tried. Although today was an exception.

Killian finally returned and handed you the plastic cups full of warm hot chocolate and you thanked him.

"Remember mate, as long as you don't spill the drinks you should be fine." Hook smirks at you.

You nudge him with a smile and he walks into the warehouse. You had asked him to stay around just in case. This is Storybooke; anything could happen.

Before you knew it you saw Emma's yellow buggy drive into view and park near the warehouse. Henry stepped out first and then Emma followed, but as soon as Henry wasn't looking and was walking towards you, Emma walked inside the warehouse where she and Killian were going to wait.

You smiled at Henry and he took one of the cups out of your hand, then he hugged you and you tried not to blush.

"Hey, (Y/N)." He smiles.

"Hey. How have you been?" You say.

"Great now. How about you?"

"Great now as well."

You both giggle and then sit on one of the benches near the ocean and talk over hot chocolate. As always it's a weird conversation that makes no sense, but you find that you can only talk to Henry this way, and vise versa he feels the same.

After a while there is silence between the two of you, but it's not awkward considering it never is, so you take this opportunity to tell Henry what you've been waiting to tell him for a long time.

"Henry?" You say.

"Yeah?" Henry says, looking over at you.

"You're a great friend and I love you so much but I, well, um..."

Your words get jumbled and you find yourself losing your train of thought. Why did you have to mess up now? Out of all times, seriously Destiny you picked the wrong time!

"But, you see, Henry... I love you much more than just a friend... I, uh..."

Henry doesn't say a word; he just stares at you with those beautiful gentle eyes of his. He doesn't looked shocked or scared or happy or anything. He looks like what he usually looks like when you two have a casual conversation. Like this was a casual conversation, ha!

"Do you, um, understand what I'm trying to say?" You ask nervously.

Henry looks down and then back at you with a smile and nods.

"Yeah, I do." Henry smiles.

"So, well, my other question is do you like me too?"

Henry doesn't say anything. His mouth opens and then it shuts again, which makes you feel even more nervous than what you already are feeling.

"That was really stupid of me to ask. Sorry." You say quietly.

"Yeah," Henry says.

"We should just stay friends,"

"Yeah,"

"It'll probably be better that way. I mean, you clearly don't see me in that way and I should've never asked. I mean, we'll just forget about this."

"Yeah,"

"Yeah... knew it."

You try to laugh it off but you fail and just sound awkward. Then as you go to stand up Henry grabs your hand and you look at him.

"No, (Y/N). Yeah." Henry nods at his last word.

You're a bit confused at first but then you realize that this whole time Henry was answering your question; he loves you too. Your mouth drops open slightly and you slowly begin to smile. As soon as you start to smile Henry smiles as well.

You can see Killian and Emma walking out of the warehouse from behind Henry, clearly seeing that your plan worked, but then your vision becomes blurry as you suddenly feel warm lips pressed against yours.

Your happiness levels take a dramatic sky rocket to space as you realize that Henry is kissing you so you kiss him back. The kiss is sweet and affectionate and slightly rough, but not hurtful in any way.

As soon as you both pull back you smile while looking into Henry's eyes and then burst out laughing as you see the utter surprisement on Killian's and Emma's faces.

*That book is amazing, though. I borrowed it like seven times from the school library but found it hard to read, haha.
