Felix x Reader (From Once Upon a Time)

Chapter 15

Henry stepped onto the walkway first, pausing as he looked out and saw everyone cheering on the dock. As I stepped onto the dock, I caught sight of Felix leaning against a post on the ship, watching me with an unreadable expression. Our eyes met, and for a brief moment, time seemed to slow. He gave a small nod, acknowledging our unspoken connection. I returned the nod, a soft smile tugging at my lips. There was something about him—something I couldn't quite place—that drew me in. 

Cheers and yelling from happy storybrooke townsfolk greeted me and snapped me out of my longing gaze.

I quickly ran to Granny who gave me a big hug. I continued to greet familiar faces that I saw, hugging and chatting with each of them.

Emma's POV:

After Henry de-boarded, Mary Margaret, David, and I followed suit. Bashful, Doc, Dopey, Happy, Leroy, Mr. Clark, Walter, Mother Superior, Archie, and Granny are some of the familiar faces who welcome our return. Everyone began hugging and talking to one another, welcoming us back from our journey.

"Yes!" Leroy exclaimed. "They're back! Emma! Snow! All right!"

Regina was the next to exit the ship, followed by Mr. Gold, who caught Belle's eye. Mary Margaret was pleasantly thrilled to find Ariel at the dock. They exchanged hugs and when Mary Margaret saw Eric, she smiled. Regina, who was standing alone nearby, had a dejected expression on her face.

"How does it feel to finally be home?" I asked Henry.

"Better than I ever imagined," Henry said, looking out at all the faces around us.

Felix and the other Lost Boys exited the ship, their faces lit up with delight at their new surroundings. (Except Felixes ofc bc he's too serious for that.)

John and Michael Darling were still waiting impatiently in the crowd for their sister. Wendy was the final person to leave the ship's walkway,  but she doesn't see her brothers.

"Wendy!" Micheal said shouting, running towards her. They gave each other a big embrace.

"Michael!" Wendy shouted. "John! Is it really you?"

"You have no idea how long we've been waiting to see you," John said. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that Neal had begun approaching them.

"Do you remember Baelfire?" Wendy asked, gesturing to Neal. John and Michael looked at him and then they all gave each other hugs.

"So, now what?" Neal asked.

"I think it's time for the Darlings to go home," John said. "All of us."

~Very short time skip.~

"How do you feel?" Snow asked Charming, still on the docks with the others.

"Pretty good, actually," He said. "I think the water must be working."

"Aye, it is," Hook said. "Dreamshade overtook my brother the moment we left Neverland."

"Gold will find a cure," Snow said. "You'll be okay."

"I have to admit," I said. "There was a minute there I didn't believe we were all going to make it out of that place."

"Well, we did," David said with relief.

We looked over towards Regina, a face full of sadness because no one was welcoming her.

"And we owe a lot of it to her," Snow said loudly. "Regina helped save us all."

All of the townspeople murmured in astonishment. Regina looked equally as surprised at Mary Margaret's comment. After a nice moment of regard towards Regina's help on the island, Charming turned to Gold.
