It's Always Nice

TO MAKE AN IMPRESSION

There was much about this current scenario that was very . . . unexpected. Hell, even the greatest seer in all the realms wouldn't have been able to foresee this one. Hook was currently on his way to Gold's shop, owned by none other than the Crocodile himself. That was the first surprising aspect of this. The second was that he was actually planning on being in the Dark One's company, and neither of them would try to kill each other. This was arguably the most shocking of all circumstances that helped contribute to this bizarre situation. The third . . . was the purpose of their being there. And it involved Storybrooke's favorite young lad: Henry Mills.

Apparently, Henry had been starting to notice, women. And Emma had asked Killian to speak to him about it. Which made sense of course, considering Killian's many experience with them. Of course he wouldn't exactly boast about that. He had formed a bond with the boy and wasn't about to destroy it by saying the wrong thing -- which could also potentially ruin his relationship with Emma which was going quite well. So he would have a chat with the boy, since there was no other father figure in his life . . . except for David, but he had been otherwise occupied tonight. Killian was going to surprise Henry by taking him out for dinner and talking about . . . things. Masculine things. Truth be told, Hook had absolutely no clue how this was going to go. But there was only one way to find out.

He opened the door to the shop that would be closing in a few moments, and saw Henry and of course, the Crocodile. Hook ignored him and turned his attention to the boy. "Evening, mate," Hook greeted. "Thought I would take you out for dinner tonight. That is, if you're up for it and the Croco--" Hook paused for a moment, knowing he would have to play nice in the boy's presence. "Mr. Gold hasn't been working you too hard," he corrected, shooting a brief glance at the owner of the shop before turning his gaze onto Henry.

Henry was sitting at a chair, taking a breather before he left the shop for the night. He had taken on an apprenticeship at his grandfathers Pawn Shop, and he was starting to like it. Granted he was worked hard, but Henry didn't seem to mind it much. Looking to a book he held in his hand, Henry was about to stand when the bell sounded that someone had walked in, and he noticed it was Hook.

"Are my eyes playing tricks on me? When did you come here for no reason?" Henry asked Killian, slightly confused as to why the pirate would enter the store of Mr. Gold, which everyone, even Henry knew Rumple and Hook had an ongoing feud. What made Henry even more confused was the fact that Hook was there for him. Making a weird face at Hook, as if trying to find out something, Henry spoke once more. "Why are you here for me? What I do this time? Did my mom put you up to this? Oh my god, you're marrying her. You came because you want to marry to marry my mom." Henry got chills at the thought of Hook marrying his mother. He was cool with him, but he would not in any way possible call Hook father, or like the idea of  a marriage between his mother and Killian.

Watching Killian enter his shop was a rare thing indeed. The only time Captain Hook sought him out was when he wanted something from him. But when Killian greeted Henry, the reason why Killian was there became a great deal more clear. Watching Hook force himself to say "Mr. Gold" instead of his infamous "Crocodile" when it came to Rumplestiltskin was quite amusing for Mr. Gold, but he didn't say anything in return. Listening to Henry's reaction to Hook was even more amusing. Gold doubted Emma and Killian were moving fast enough for marriage just yet, and even if they were Gold didn't think Hook was the type to settle down like that.

"Well if you want some moral support for whatever Killian is gonna tell you, dearie, I will be more then happy to accompany you. Belle is busy at the library and can't meet up till later. My treat?" Gold offered to Henry. He knew that for one, this offer would make Killian quite upset, and on the other hand, he wanted to find out exactly what Hook had to discuss with Henry in the first place. So, he might as well tag along, plus he was actually really wanting a hamburger, his and Belle's favorite.
