Only Human (CaptainSwan)

Set in S2-5. Based on the song “Only Human.”

*The Dance*

I can hold my breath

I can bite my tongue

I can stay awake for days

If that’s what you want

Be your number one

I can fake a smile

I can force a laugh

I can dance and play the part

If that’s what you ask

Give you all I am

I can do it

I can do it

I can do it

            It was a dark night at Camelot in King Arthur’s castle in the ballroom, as Emma and Captain Hook, also known as Killian Jones, danced together. It was their first dance together, though Killian had danced at many balls and even on his own ship, the Jolly Roger.

*Tallahassee*

But I’m only human

And I bleed when I fall down

I’m only human

            It was a dark night by the town line, as Hook tried to avoid getting hit by a car racing down the road, but he didn’t succeed and got ran over. The car landed in the ditch and Hook landed on the side of the road.

            Later, he was informed that he had some broken ribs.

*I Just Watched The Man I Love Die*

And I crash and I break down

Your words in my head

Knives in my heart

You build me up and then I fall apart

I’m only human

            Emma stood by Regina in the forest in the alternate universe after watching Hook die at the hands of Snow, her mother.

            “I just watched the man that I love die, and the worst part is that I never told him I loved him; not once.”

*Snow Drifts*

I can turn it on

Be a good machine

I can hold the weight of worlds

If that’s what you need

Be your everything

I can do it

I can do it

I’ll get through it

But I’m only human

            It was a beautiful day, as Emma tried to hang on with the portal opened up, Hook hanging on to the solid ground with his hooked hand. She lost her hold though, and fell through. So, making up his mind to go in after her, he let go with his hooked hand.

            “One of these days I’m going to stop chasing this woman,” he commented, before letting go.

*Poor Unfortunate Soul*

And I bleed when I fall down

I’m only human

And I crash and I break down

Your words in my head

Knives in my heart

You build me up and then I fall apart

I’m only human

I’m only human

I’m only human

Just a little human

            Hook and Emma stood outside on the street by Granny’s Diner and looked at each other.

            “You’re my happy ending, Emma,” he confessed to her.

*Broken*

I can take so much

Until I’ve had enough

‘Cause I’m only human

And I bleed when I fall down

I’m only human

And I crash and I break down

Your words in my head

Knives in my heart

You build me up and then I fall apart

‘Cause I’m only human

            It was a dismal night by the river as Emma fell to her knees in grief, Hook dead. She had tried to keep him alive by turning him into The Dark One, but now he was dead. She felt like her world had shattered because, yet another loved one had died. She had lost so many people in her life. Now Killian, too.
