True Love is Magic

She truly didn’t know what they should do. She wanted to be with him in every way possible, to love him completely, and for him to love her completely. But something didn’t feel right. Maybe they weren’t ready. Not just yet. Or maybe it wasn’t the right place? Giving herself to him in the middle of the stables probably wasn’t very romantic. But if it was what he really wanted, she couldn’t bear to tell him no, because she would hurt his feelings or disappoint him. So she would give in, if he insisted.

And she was always taught she should stay pure until marriage, but if Daniel was the one she’d marry, then what harm would it do? Regina knew she’d never want this, never feel this, with anyone else. So why wait if they loved each other so much? If they knew already they’d be together forever?

    He was not Daniel anymore, and it did not matter whether or not he could love.

                For if he loved another, she would have the woman killed.

                                       And she was as much a monster as he, unlovable as she was wicked.

Before an answer could form with enough tact to sate her pride, Regina inhaled sharply, finding his lips pressed against hers once more. A shudder escaped the queen as she stiffly stood, heart racing and fingers trembling. 

                                                           He should be killed.

                     He is a monster.

                                             He is a lie.

            This is a lie.

                                                                      Do not let him touch you.

                                   Daniel is dead.

Regina’s eyes closed, thoughts pounding against her mind like sharp painful stones, battering her dizzy — or was that the heat from his kiss? Her lips parted without her consent, and then, she was kissing him back. It was if a dam had broken and nothing could hope to subdue the tidal wave of passion and raw emotion that flooded from her.

             She hated him.

                                                                          She loved him.

Her heart pounded so loudly that it made the ache in her head all the worse, but the heat that enveloped her was far more entrancing. Though he gripped her arms, she lifted her hands to place against his chest, laying there almost softly as she stood, taking her penance, and allowing this ghost of her heart’s making to steal the last vapors of her soul.

And for but a moment, she was Regina, sneaking behind the stables to see the boy who made her heart flutter and her stomach knot. Stealing kisses before her mother could see, and trying to hide the blushes and longing glances when anyone saw them near one another.

From the moment he acknowledged he loved her, from their first kiss, Daniel was forever her willing captive. He would go wherever she went, he would do whatever she asked. He craved only her love and approval, and would need nothing else but the soft whispers her heart made across his soul. He needed nothing but the life she breathed - even now - into the darkness he became. 

Kissing her now soothed every ache, for just a moment. Nothing else would ever matter, as long as their lips never parted. Such a desire was completely illogical, yet he wished for it all the same. In another breath, he knew she would pull away, and he feared the loss of her, even as he feared what he would do to her. Whether he had intended to became the Dark One or not was irrelevant now, because that power would remain with him until his life was ended. There was always a price to be paid for such absolute power, and that price now was his beloved. 

Yet he yearned to be connected to her, in every way possible. He ached to know what it would be like to be hers again, if even for just an hour, a minute, a second, before he forgot how to draw breath again.

She merely wished to take sick delight in knowing his inner most desires. To use them to sate her curiosities and perhaps soothe some still aching wound within her. He could insist he was Daniel until he lost the ability to speak, but she would not ever accept him as such. Daniel could never be so vile, and he could never love the monster she had become.

Sighing as she heard footsteps, Regina nearly yawned at thinking he was attempting escape. Foolish man, did he not know that no one came or went from her castle without her blessing? A confident smirk formed, but vanished just as quickly.

Feeling the hands on her shoulders, she tensed, turning swiftly at his insistence. Her eyes flashed with fire and indignation as she tried to wrench out of his grip.

Perhaps he was wrong, but if he wasn't, and that was love shining there for just a moment, there was nothing he needed more in this world. If she were to kill him now, he wouldn't protest, yet he was reasonably certain she wouldn't do such a thing. She wanted him with her, even if they both fought to allow those truths to exist. 

                  "Do you think me incapable of love?"

He was sure he was, and perhaps he needed to hear it from her, even though he knew it would destroy him. Why was he persisting with someone who struggled to show she didn't want him? Perhaps because she was the only light he'd ever have in this life again.

For now, he simply set the tray down on the dresser, and knelt beside Regina, not getting into bed yet. He wanted her to see the flowers, and his presence beside her in bed was likely to distract her from that.
