He was nervous, palms sweaty, auburn hair falling gracefully over his face. A little shiver of both excitement and fear moving up and down his spine as he headed down the street to her house. This was… new… This is exactly what he imagined Jack had been talking about, what had caused the Pumpkin King’s madness so long ago. He moved his hand to his lighter, the comfort of the familiar pushing him towards his goal. He had to tell her, he felt as though his heart would burst should he continue to keep this secret any longer. It all happened so quickly, as though lightning had struck him from head to toe. At first she seemed to be a plague on his existence. Her smile and infections laughter making him wonder if she was as unhinged as all the others in Halloween Town. But the fact that no matter what he did to make her go away she remained, the fact that she always stayed whether in anger or fun made him begin to realize there might be something more, something worth trying to figure out.

So he walked, while everything in him was telling him to turn back, to head into the darkness and stay there because that’s where he belonged. He belonged in the dark, he belonged in the shadows with his cohorts. He belonged with nothing but his mischief and the madness that would eventually return him home.  He reached her home then, looking up at a lighted window in the night. As he looked up at the window he found that for the first time in this life time he was actually afraid. His hand moved from his pocket bringing his lighter with a pack of smokes. If anything could calm his nerves it was a quick drag before the fall. Lock lit up the cigarette, and cursed himself when he burned his fingers as well. This was not like him, he was always so sure, so ready for anything and then she’d come along to change all that. He took a single drag, letting it linger before letting out the slow breath. His blue eyes landed once more on the window above before very casually picking up some pebbles to throw at her window. They needed a chat, he needed to see her to know that if this was real, if this was what love did or if it was best for the little devil, to simply walk away.

  "You can’t let me talk, can you princess…” he spoke, almost in a teasing sort of tone. He was just trying to get his thoughts in order and at this point was painfully aware of just how awkward he was acting. Having her by his side felt normal. It was almost a nice warm feeling, not like what he usually got at home. At home he was met by frying pans flying or a bear trap at his feet. At home he was met by orders and constant chaos. at home he was never truly free, because having no structure and no one to count on without judgement was a rarity, given as all his life he’d been taught to keep his guard, to not trust anyoen completely and that mischief and chaos was a priority over order or peace.

Peace… that’s what he’d seem to have found in Ariel. She brought out the softer side of the boy that no one had ever been able to touch before. It was the side that enjoy playfulness and possibly love. They walked, arms linked and her getting closer, the scent of her hair floating around him. He smiled… “I like you… and I don’t mean in the I want to murder you in your sleep kinda like, you know like back home. I like you, in the Storybrooke sort of way. You get me…” there, he’d said it… and now… he awaited… the drum roll…

[mermaidonthebeach]

Ariel quirked a brow at Lock as he called her princess. Something that she only ever tolerated from him. He always liked to push his luck with her it seemed as he was so fond of calling her that instead of her actual name. Sh secretly quite enjoyed his nickname for her not that she would ever tell him that.

She tilted her head as she listened to him. At first slightly confused by what he was saying. Was he telling her he liked her as a friend? That didn't make sense they already were friends. Could he possibly mean as more than a friend? She thought that was most likely which left her completely stunned. She wasn't one hundred percent sure that he had meant it the way she was thinking but she was definatly going to find out.

Stepping in front of him she forced him to stop walking. Tilting her head she looked up at him for a moment. Trying to figure out how he had meant what he said. Still a little uncertain but hoping she was right she smiled up at him. Throwing her arms around his neck she hugged him before kissing his cheek. 

Stepping back quickly she stood there staring at him waiting to see his reaction to what she had just done. Hoping she hadn't assumed wrong about what he had said. If she had things were certain to get interesting.

  "Can you? Have you ever been on a ship before, love?" Hook smirked, raising an eyebrow in her direction, watching closely as the redhead walked around her ship.

"We’re still docked because all the men aren’t back yet, and it takes more than two to sail this ship, especially when one is unexperienced as you," she shrugged. "They’ll be back within the hour. In the meantime…care for a drink?" she asked, pulling a flask out of her coat and wiggling it back and forth in the air.

"Perhaps I can teach you, if you have a good enough head on your shoulders. It takes more than a pretty face to steer a ship and navigate."

[mermaidonthebeach]

Ariel waved off Hook's words with a small flick of her wrist. "I may not have been on a ship before but I've certainly seen enough of them to get the basic idea of them. Besides anything to do with the sea can't be too hard for me to learn." 

Ariel quirked a brow staring at Hook for a moment. "Well when they get back we can go then. Pirating sounds like it would be quite fun." She smirked walking over to Hook reaching up to take her flask. "Are you doubting if I have enough intelligence to learn how to sail this ship? I'll have you know that once I learn how to sail I'll be a better pirate than even you love."

She took a sip from the flask before putting it back in Hook's hand. Giving her a playful smile she started to walk away again content to look around the ship until the crew arrived.

  He asked her to go for a walk and was relieved when she didn’t press the matter. Lock figured that maybe the fresh air would clear his senses and he could have this talk be over with. Telling her he liked her, hell he could even love her, would either make or break them and that thought alone was what made the boy be hesitant towards admitting anything. He didn’t want to lose her as a friend, she’d actually become his first real friend outside of Halloween Town. She was fiery, she had spunk, she could take insults as well as she could throw them. she could make him laugh as well as frown.. its like since they had met things had been changing for the young man.

He had expected her to agree to a walk, that was quite the norm for them. It wasn’t the first time they had gone for a walk after all, now; what he had not expected was for her to wrap her arms around him. Leaning her face towards his own. That small act alone gave him pause, but it also made him think that maybe things would actually be all right wit them both.

He moved to walk then, a small smile of satisfaction clear on his features as he lead them both down the side walk. “You have no idea how hard it was for me to come and talk to you, you know…” he began, letting his eyes look away from her features and down the street. “I’m not used to… feelings and shit…” the small curse word came out, not as an insult but as part of his defensive mechanism, the boy was nervous hence why he couldn’t bring himself to look at her as he spoke.

[mermaidonthebeach]

Ariel giggled watching Lock as he spoke. He always looked away when he was being serious. She was still slightly confused about what he wanted but she was content to let him take his time. She was enjoying this quite time with him. Almost peaceful. So unlike their normal banter which was nice in it's own way. But this this was nice in an entirely different way and she was thrilled to be out in the beautiful night with the stars shining listening to him talk about his feelings.

She knew it was hard for him to do so which only made it all the more special and interesting. He looked so nervous and at a loss for what to say though she couldn't help but let out a small giggle. She smirked up at him before resting her head almost on his shoulder while they walked. 

"Well Lock just spit it out. Whatever you have to say can't be that bad." She grinned up at him before giving him a look that clearly said she was getting a little tired of waiting for him to get to his point.

  He still remained in her presence, mentally kicking himself for acting so weird around her. He imagined she thought him drunk or crazy at this point. And yet he remained there, trying to consider his words carefully. He moved his hand towards the back of his neck, grabbing some strands of hair between his fingers and pulling at them slightly. He wanted to speak, he wanted to tell her how he couldn’t sleep. How he missed her when she wasn’t around, how even though he pretended to avoid her, deep down he avoided her just to see if she’d always come for him. See all his life he’d never really counted on anyone. All his life it had just been him and his cohorts Shock and Barrel and yet maybe he should have been looking for something more. A life full of pranks and lies, shadows and monsters and things that went bump in the night seemed so empty now that he had the possibility of her in his life. Once more she spoke, bringing the young man out of his reverie. “I… can’t sleep.” You don’t let me sleep, he added in his mind. “Can we go for a walk?” he asked, wondering if maybe the fact that her family was so close by was making him double think what he’d begun to realize. That this may be some sort of love. 

He was an orphan, a child of no one and she had such a vast array of family member and support that more often than not Lock felt like this could be a one way street. That maybe he could ruin everything by confessing what he felt and then she’d go off, tell her sister or friends… hell she could even tell his cohorts how much Lock Blake had been and how a girl had, for the first time in his miserable existence, made him squirm.

[mermaidonthebeach]

Ariel smiled as she watched Lock. She was content to stand there all night with him but she wanted to know what it was that had brought him here so late. It couldn't just simply be the fact that he couldn't sleep could it? Did he really just come to see her because he wasn't able to sleep? The thought that that could possibly be true disappointed her. She was of course happy thrilled even to see him but she wanted.... What did she want?... She wanted more. She wanted him to have come to her because she meant more to him than just a distraction when he couldn't sleep.

Hearing him ask her to take a walk with him she nodded with a small smile on his lips. Deciding to do something she knew would probably make him protest she slipped her right arm through his left arm resting her hand in the crook of his elbow. She smiled sweetly up at him almost as if she was daring him to pull away or tell her no. "Where shall we walk to?"

[askfemhook-blog]

  She smirked at the comeback. “No, dear, pirates have their own civilization as well….if they didn’t, I wouldn’t be captain, now, would I?” she raised an eyebrow. She smiled again when Ariel pulled her wrist away, amused by the former mermaid’s independent nature.

"Wherever we want to. We have the whole world ahead of us," she gestured towards the sea. "Besides, I would be greatly amused if you were to get seasick. Most do, and a seasick mermaid…" she chuckled, letting the sentence trail off.

[mermaidonthebeach]

Ariel quirked a brow tilting her head. "I can assure you dear that this mermaid does not get seasick." She gave a small laugh as she continued to walk around the ship for a moment. "Well if we can go wherever we want then why are we still docked. Let's get going."

Ariel flashed a small smile over her shoulder to Hook as Ariel walked up to the wheel. Turning back to look at Hook she tilted her head. "You can teach me all about pirating and steering the ship," She called out in a soft teasing tone before turning back to the wheel.

  "I wasn’t aware mermaids had a civilization in which to be civil in. Didn’t think you knew the concept," Hook smirked back, though a playful spark shone in her eyes. "Don’t do that," she said when Ariel ran her hand over the railing. She lightly grabbed her wrist and pulled it away. "You’ll get splinters, then you’d better not come crying to me, love."

[mermaidonthebeach]

"I'm sure there are mermaids who form their own little civilizations. Though I've never been part of one I'm sure they're lovely. As for not knowing the concept could not the same thing be said about most pirates?" Ariel quirked a brow lightly pulling her wrist from Hook's grasp. She took to wandering about the ship for a moment. Turning back to look at Hook she flashed her a small smile. "I'm touched by your concern love." She said sarcastically with a playful glint in her eye. "So where are we going pirating too?"

  "Just be thankful I’m not gutting you, I’m not particularly found of mermaids. They tried to tear me ship apart once," Hook said bluntly. "And don’t touch anything," she added.

[mermaidonthebeach]

"Come now Hook. I'm not that easy of a target. But I wasn't one of those mermaids who tried to tear apart your precious ship..." Ariel leaned against the side of the ship making it a point to look up at Hook as she ran her hand along the top of the ship wall. "...So no need to be so uncivil is there darling?" Ariel gave Hook a little smirk as she quirked a brow.

Ariel had traveled to the Enchanted Forest realm taking to the sea to get there. Something as natural as breathing for her. In the shallow water of the shore she took from the purple mesh pouch that she had worn across her shoulders a bracelet encrusted with little tiny shells. It was beautiful though that was far from the reason why she wore it. Clasping it on her wrist her tail immediately turned into two slender legs. She loved her legs and being able to walk upon the land. Something she would need in order to get back her shell from the pirate Hook.

She had traveled all this way to take it back from the pirate. She knew how he felt about mermaids. It went right alone with reputation. She didn't care though she would take what belonged to her. Walking along the shore she did her long red hair up in a braid to keep it out of her way. She wore a form fitting shirt and pants with leather boots that laced up to her knees. Her sleeves puffed out just enough to cover her bracelet. 

Spotting the ship of the pirate she watched it for awhile. After awhile she had seen no movement on board. Thinking it was her chance she boarded his ship. Trying to keep her feet quiet as she sneak on board. Slipping down to the lower deck she walked into the closest room and started rummaging around for what the pirate had stolen from her. Looking back to the door every once in awhile to see if she was still alone.

"Sh. Alexandra is sleeping right now. Lets speak in the other room."

Ariel nodded tilting her head as she followed her to the other room. "So how have your been?" Ariel spoke in a hushed tone so as not to wake the baby.
