"Well that can certainly be arranged if you do," Cora said, smiling pleasantly though it masked a warning. She had broken Regina’s heart once herself- she would not see it happen again.
"I don't doubt that," Robin replied simply. He knew full well what Cora was capable of, though he didn't intend to ever hurt Regina intentionally.
"Can I keep you?"
Send me CAN I KEEP YOU and watch my muse’s reaction
"I certainly hope so."
"Good, I’m not letting you go then. Ever."
"There's no reason you need to."
CAN I KEEP YOU?? [ tink kinda loves robin for making her biffle so happy ]
Send me CAN I KEEP YOU and watch my muse's reaction.
"I’ll not deny such a request, though my lady might have objections."
Tinkerbell grinned, “Don’t worry…Regina can get you on weekends.”
"I'm certain she'll find that acceptable," he smirked. "And now what is it precisely that you plan to do with me?"
"Because I’m fun," she answered plainly. She wasn’t sure if that was true or not but she liked to think of herself as fun. The squirrels certainly enjoyed her at least. "Thank you. Other people, well I imagine anyway, they would have left already. You’ve stayed here and you’ve been patient. That can’t be easy for you I must seem," she took a deep breath. She wasn’t stupid but some of her questions probably sounded childish. "I guess what I’m trying to say is that I appreciate you more than I thought I would have."
"You are," Robin was quick to assure her, his smile soft, nearly tender. She was completely unlike anyone he'd ever known, and that intrigued him. Beyond that, she was a young woman so terribly sheltered, yet with so much potential to love; albeit in her own, quite unique way. "You're unlike anyone I've ever known, and I'm glad of it. I've had quite enough of the same sorts of people." He reached out then, taking her hand and squeezing it gently. "We go well together."

She sniffled, but didn’t push his hand away when she felt his fingers press against her skin. “But she’s your wife,” she managed to whisper. Even if Regina wanted him, she knew it wasn’t fair to Marian, or Roland for that matter. She pushed herself into his touch, even if her mind was telling her not to form a whole other attachment if she was sure this would be the last she’d be around him like this. “I— I understand it,” Regina continued to murmur, “—you shouldn’t pass up this opportunity to be with your first— first love again.”
Robin was trying to think of the best way to navigate this conversation, to remind her that despite Marian being his first love, it didn't mean he was ready to simply return to her. And then he recalled their conversation about Regina's first love. As his hand shifted slightly to cradle her cheek, he queried gently, "If your first love were returned to you only hours ago, would you hesitate, or embrace him as though no time had passed?"
Can I keep you?
Send me CAN I KEEP YOU and watch my muse's reaction.
"I suppose I’ll allow it for you my dear Belle, though I’ll warn you that now you’ve invited my harsh and unrelenting scrutiny of anyone who might think themselves worthy of securing your affections."
[ Eternally loved — oh, that has a bit of a different weight of significance now, doesn’t it? ]
“I will be — you don’t have to worry about that. We’ve both made a promise, Rum and I.”
[ A promise of forever. ]
"I won't ask you to speak in great detail on this promise." Though, he had his suspicions, but there were some things he wouldn't pry too deeply on. "Simply assure me that you're truly happy, Belle, that you have no reservations whatsoever, and you'll have nothing but my blessing." He hesitated for a moment. "And my vow to have an abrupt conversation with Rumplestiltskin should I see a flicker of sadness in your eyes."

"I know," she replied, stopping and turning over her shoulder. She shrugged. "You’re a gentleman, and you would never intentionally hurt a woman…but no matter what happens from this point on, someone is going to be hurt. And if I were in your shoes…" She swallowed thickly, tears starting to fall again. "I would pick her," she choked out. "Because you need to do what’s best for your son…and as much as I love you both, I will never be able to fill that place in your hearts." She froze, only realizing then that she’d just told him she loved him.
It took him a moment to grasp that she had indirectly confessed her love for him, and it simultaneously felt like a punch to the gut, and as though happiness had curled around his heart; yet, he had no right to feel that, not now. It seemed unfair to tell her that he loved her in return, even though he was more certain of that than anything right now. "I'm not prepared to let go of you. I need tonight to gather my thoughts, but will you allow me to see you tomorrow?"
"I have some idea.”
"Your attempt at playing coy isn't quite as effective as you might think. Though rather adorable nonetheless, love."
Can I keep you?
Send me CAN I KEEP YOU and watch my muse's reaction.
"Might I first have your assurance that you won’t dispose of me in my sleep?"
"Good! If you had wanted to go I would have been sad but I don’t make it a habit of keeping anything in a cage. But, while you’re around I will take advantage of your company. So long as you’ll have me… love."
Robin was able to restrain himself from chuckling when she employed the endearment in return. He doubted she fully grasped its meaning, though he looked forward to teaching her simply with time and experience. "Well, quite fortunately for both of us, I happen to enjoy your company far above anyone else's. How you've managed to do that, I'm not entirely certain."
mayorbelle replied to your post “ooc;”
[ You're so adorable I can't even. :3 ]
//*grins and snuggles you* So are you. <3
"You had certainly better. If I find that you’ve hurt her in any way, I’ll rip your still-beating heart out of your chest. Understand?"
"No need to be delicate on my behalf," he remarked dryly, in an attempt to lighten the mood, though he doubted it would have the desired effect. "I'd rather dispose of my heart myself than hurt her."
headcanons/psa/rambling;
I wanted to ramble a bit about my theories for Season 4, and also make a quick little PSA:
- Outlaw Queen is everything to me, and I want them to be endgame, though if it doesn't work out, I at least want Robin and Regina to be happy, in the end. So that being said, I love Marian (and I hate that I'm in this awkward position of feeling like she's really not supposed to be there) and if it turns out that Robin stays with her, I'll reconcile that in my mind. Point is, you're not gonna see any Marian bashing from me (in fact, I would love to explore her backstory with Robin).
Theories:
- Marian should have actually died back when she was sick and pregnant with Roland. Robin screwed with fate and used magic to save her, and my theory is that in Season 4, we're gonna get more backstory on the consequences of that. All magic has a price, and OUATIW made it a point to show us that interfering with fate and bringing people back from the dead (or preventing their death when they're supposed to die) has dire consequences. I'm willing to bet that since the Knave is showing up, this is definitely gonna be a thing. I'm also not convinced that in the original timeline, Regina killed Marian. I was thinking that before, but Adam tweeted that Marian's family believed she was "supposedly" killed by the Evil Queen, and his language seems quite purposeful there. Again, I think we're supposed to be in suspense about all of this, and it'll be revealed slowly in Season 4.
"Well you’re a thief, for one thing. And you’re traipsing around with my daughter, for another."
"Your lovely daughter and I are quite happy together, and I intend to do what I must to ensure she remains that way."
ooc;
Y'all are amazing, though, okay? I keep looking at these para threads that I owe replies to, and my brain just doesn't wanna cooperate, and I'm so sorry for that. I promise it has nothing to do with lack of interest because I love them all, I'm just desperate to give you the quality you deserve and don't wanna half-ass it. So while I'm struggling with the longer stuff, I really appreciate people keeping up some short stuff with me in the meantime, because I truly love playing with you guys. <3
Her heart and mind was confused. She was forgetting who she used to be and this made her wonder why she was alive at all. What was her purpose? Why was she still here? Why would someone care for her? “I don’t wish to trouble you,” she said sadly. “I don’t even know who I am, or why I’m here.”
It was disconcerting, to say the least, though he understood this must be a result of the magic she'd been forced to utilize on his behalf. He would spend the rest of his life ensuring her safety, whether she welcomed it without protest or not. A gentle smile graced his features as he rested a hand on her shoulder for a moment. "Do you think, perhaps, you could trust me? I'll gladly provide further insight, but I think we should rest at my camp."
❝ —— That’s your great idea. Speaking reasonably. Try that and you’ll be the one ending up on the sword. ❞

"I'll grant you that circumstances deteriorate to the point that force is necessary, though perhaps in the future, you'll consider diplomacy before things become this unmanageable."
Destroyed Happiness
She looked away from him, pursing her lips. She knew how she must seem at the moment, but anything was better than watching him go back to Marian. “Goodnight, Robin,” she breathed before turning to go.
He felt as though he'd done something terribly wrong, yet this unfortunate circumstance had been thrust upon him; he'd never asked for this. In the same way he imagined Regina would always feel affection for her lost love, Robin felt the same for Marian, yet he'd let go of her quite long ago. It seemed cruel to simply abandon her tonight, though he realized it must seem to Regina that he was choosing Marian over her. "Regina, I've done nothing wrong, I don't want to hurt anyone." In his heart, he suspected that wouldn't be enough to keep her from walking away.
