Season 3 Rewatch Drabbles: 3x21 Snow Drifts (Part 1)
Summary: A series of 100-500 word drabbles to accompany my rewatch of season 3 of Once Upon a Time. There will be a drabble–either a deleted scene, a “fix it” fic or a character musing for each episode of the season. Focus will be on Emma, Henry, the Charmings and Killian–with an emphasis on Captain Swan’s epic love story.
Word Count: 334
Other Chapters: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) (11) (12) (13) (14) (15) (16) (17) (18) (19) (20) (21) (22) (24) (25) (26) (27) (28)

Notes: I knew there was no way I could stick to just one drabble an episode for the CS movie, so I didn't even try. There will be 2 drabbles for 3x21 and 4 for 3x22. They are all written, so the plan is to post one per day until they're all posted.
Note #2: Thank you to @hollyethecurious for this prompt!
The first time he did it, it was instinctual. Emma knew that. Regina’s (or the Evil Queen’s or…whatever) guards came galloping down the dirt road, and Killian simply acted, grabbing her, pulling her behind a tree, covering her body with his. It had shocked her for a moment until she realized what he was doing and why.
(Not to mention the shock to her system it was to feel his warmth, his scent, him enveloping her, but that was something she was determined not to dwell upon.)
The second time, she was starting to get suspicious. No more than five minutes after the incident with the queen, he’d pinned her against another tree, and this time he’d lingered for a few seconds longer.
(Surely there must be some cardiac ramifications to her heart beating so quickly.)
“My apologies, Swan,” he’d said with a smirk that looked anything but repentant. “I thought I heard the guards again.”
By the third time it happened, she knew it was deliberate.
He'd grabbed her, tucked her in front of him and placed his hands beside her head.
(Had it Suddenly gotten a lot hotter here in the Enchanted Forest?)
“What…” her voice sounded far too breathless. She cleared her throat and started again. “What are you doing?”
“I heard something,” Killian insisted.
A moment later a tiny brown rabbit hopped placidly past, and Emma let out a peal of laughter.
“Seriously Hook? A bunny?” She asked, mirth still coloring her tone as he stepped back and she turned around to look at him.
He grinned and wiggled his eyebrows at her. “One can't be too careful, Love. Rabbits can be bloody terrifying.”
Her peal of laughter brought a genuine smile to his face as they resumed their trek.
They were certainly in a bad situation, trapped in the past like this, but if she had to be here, she certainly could have had a worse companion.
Even if he did flirt shamelessly and manufacture reasons to embrace her.
