Hey, guys! I'm back! Um… I think this is the LAST chapter, so please, be nice, alright?
And, don't worry, I'll write more fics of The Wolf Among Us.
I have two new projects: "The wolf among walkers." (CROSSOVER WITH THE WALKING DEAD GAME) and "The Princess among us"
THE WOLF AMONG WALKERS: (CROSSOVER WITH TheWalkingDead) Bigby and Snow were survivors of the strange attack in New York, but they need to keep going by themselves if they don't want to fall in the Adversary's hands. In the road, they'll find mundies that will be a great help, but… Bigby will have to keep his secret of being a beast in front of them.
THE PRINCESS AMONG US: (NerissaXBigbyXSnow) AU- What if Bigby Wolf never was the sheriff of Fabletown and he works with the Crooked Man? He has to protect his only friend left, Nerissa. But it'll be hard because of the guardian of the town, the princess he saved centuries ago: Snow White. [I MADE THIS FIC, BUT I HAD TO ERASE IT FROM THE WEBSITE. I DON'T KNOW WTH HAPPENED, I'M SORRY DX]
I hope one of these fics could be good for you n.n
Anyway, let's start!
Chapter 6: I'll come back.
"… Stop."
Bloody Mary ignored her. She kept walking towards the werewolf, who was heavily breathing. The woman raised the axe.
"Stop!"
"Out with the old, in with the new."
"STOP! Please…!"
"Long. Live. The. Queen."
. . .
Snow White gasped when she suddenly opened her icy blue eyes. She breathed profoundly for a few minutes. She raised her head and realized she was sleeping in her sofa.
"That's right. Bigby's in my room." She muttered to herself.
"Not anymore." A voice said.
Snow turned and saw Bigby leaning in the wall with a tired expression in his face. Snow reached him with a frown.
"What are you doing here?! You should be resting!"
"You were sobbing just now. I thought you hurt yourself with something."
The princess bit her lip, embarrassed.
"… I'm sorry… I just… Had a nightmare."
"Dwarves?" Snow shook her head.
"No. It's… It's nothing, I just…"
Bigby raised an eyebrow. What was worrying Snow so much about?
He decided to wait, staring deeply into her blue eyes, piercing deeply into her soul, trying to understand her feelings. Well, he sensed her fear, her sadness and…
"I… I saw you as a werewolf. And Bloody Mary wanted…" Snow shrugged, uncomfortable.
"… It's okay, Snow. I'm fine. Safe and sound." He smirked.
Snow clenched her fists. She looked into his amber eyes.
"… Do you love me, Bigby?"
He looked at her a little surprised, but his expression softened.
"Yes."
His answer could have been so simple for a princess. But… To Snow, that simple "Yes." meant a lot to her. It was such a modest answer, but with a deep meaning.
"… Really?"
"Yes."
"Why?"
"I don't know."
"You don't know?"
"Don't misunderstand me, Snow. I love you. You're the most beautiful fable in this town, you're strong, smart… But those are not enough reasons to love you."
"…"
"Since the first time I sensed you smell and I saw you… Since that moment, I just loved you. I couldn't help it." He laughed. "I just wanted to hold you against me and never let go."
"... Oh, Bigby…"
"I don't expect you to love me back, Snow… I'm…" He shrugged. "I'm just a dog who doesn't know his place… The kennel."
"Bigby…" She raised her hand a caressed his cheek. "You're more than that… It's just… I feel so stupid right now… I wanted to be alone because I didn't want to get hurt again, and when I wanted someone to hold me so tight… I never saw you were there all this time."
"Don't be sorry, Snow. Even if you don't want to, I'll always protect and take care of you."
"… I know it's a little late, but… Can you hold me now?" She blushed a little. "I really want to feel that you're here… With me. And…"
"You're not alone either." He completed with a warm smile.
Snow sighed and rested her head against Bigby's chest. Then, she felt his arms wrapping her tightly, but in a softly way.
.
.

"Man! Glad you're in one piece." Colin smirked.
Bigby shot him a dead glare.
"Don't be like that, Bigby." Snow placed a hand on the pig's head. "Colin helped me a lot when you weren't here." The big bad wolf raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, really?"
"Of course I did! See? Even the Captain sees the great me."
"Great my ass...-"
"Bigby!"
The named one turned and saw Nerissa running towards him. Suddenly, he felt hugged by her very tightly. Snow watched the scene, shocked. Colin just smirked.
"Oh, I'm so glad you're okay!" The mermaid looked at his amber eyes with tears in hers. "You don't know how much you mean to me since you decided to help me."
Snow frowned.
"What's that supposed to mean…?"
"I'm glad too. Being just yourself." Bigby smiled at Nerissa, watching her in better clothed than the last time he saw her. "They suit you better."
The mermaid blushed a little and giggled.
"Thank you, Bigby."
"Well, I'm going. I just wanted to see you. Goodbye, Bigby. Snow, Colin." The girl smiled one last time and left the office.
Bigby looked at Snow, who was deeply frowning at him, while Colin was smirking at him.
"What?"
"Your admirer is so cute…" The pig joked.
The wolf rolled his eyes.
"Come on, she needed help. I helped her. End of story."
"Don't you like her even a little bit?"
"Just as a friend."
"I see…" He chuckled. "Well, you'll have to convince the Mayor here, or she'll explode perhaps." The pig turned and went to find Bufkin.
Bigby shrugged.
"Come on, Snow. You can't be that serious." He chuckled a little.
The princess was glaring at him, still frowning.
"It's impossible that people who feared me yesterday, can love me today."
"You didn't disappear yesterday, Bigby." Her frown softened. "You know that."
"I did feel it like that. Like I was trapped just one day on the stupid well." He looked deep into her blue icy eyes. "An eternal day, with no end. Just the darkness and the smell of rotten corpses." He made a disgusted face.
"Was it that bad?"
"You don't wanna be there…" He joked.
"… Oh…" She remembered something. "… Bigby… What happened with the Crooked Man?"
Bigby stared at her with surprise, then worry, and finally, shame. He looked away from her, frowning.
"He's dead."
"Well, that's obvious, but… I mean… You fell because of him. And… You came back… Without him."
"Did you expect me to bring him back? Give him the fucking trial he deserved?"
"N-No, but… I just wondered if you…" She stopped, doubting.
"…" He sighed. "Yeah. It's what you're thinking."
"Bigby…-"
"I killed him, okay?!" He tangled his fingers in his hair, frustrated. "I was so pissed off. I fucking fell, then the son of a bitch tried to say that we could make an appointment, so the two of us would end up privileged." He growled.
"…"
"… I know you didn't want me to become a murderer. But that's what I am, Snow. I can't stop it."
"Yes, you can."
"Snow…-"
"Don't interrupt me." She frowned. "Look… I…" She paused. "The days where you were absent, I was thinking… We have to be realist. I mean, we're not mundys. We are fables that… We're just trying to act as them."
"We need to."
"It's not that necessary anymore." She sighed. "What I'm trying to say is… I don't have the right to make you change. You're the one who must decide that. We're not better or worse than you."
"… Was it that bad while I was gone?" He raised an eyebrow in amusement.
"You already asked that."
"I'm surprised." He shrugged, smirking. "Come on, let's go to work."
"You want to work?" She giggled a little.
"I couldn't even move my fingers for days. I'll do anything to restore myself."
"Don't worry. You're recovering your will power." She smiled when Bigby opened the door for her.
"How can you be so sure?" Both of them entered in the Business Office.
"You're eyes are turning brown again."
Bigby just stared at her, then he turned gently to the magic mirror. He saw his reflection. Snow was right. His eyes were hazelnut again. He sighed, feeling a little relieved. His amber eyes were bothering him a little.
"Well, boss… What do you want me to do?"
"Just paperwork for now." Sha smiled when he made a disgusted face.
"I hate to admit that now I miss punching an asshole."
"Jack?"
"Maybe." He smirked. He took the carpets and went to the exit to go to his own office. "See…-"
"Wait, Bigby!" She ran to him.
"What now?"
"… I…" She blushed a little. "Will you come back?"
"… We talked about this, Snow."
"N-No! I mean… Literally."
"It's the same." He raised an eyebrow.
"N-No! It's just…"
"What are you getting at, Snow?" He smiled warmly at her, kind of confused because of her shyness.
"… I was thinking that… If some straightforward, nice guy were to ask me out to dinner or something, sometime next week or so—and…" She smiled too. "This nice wolf was willing to go very slowly… I sure wouldn't mind a night out among the mundys once in a while."
. . .
Was his imagination…?
Or Snow just now… did let him ask her out?
"I'll be damned." He chuckled a little. "Well, I guess I'll take you somewhere tonight. I just hope we could make it at time."
"We will."
"If you say so, captain… But, first…"
Snow frowned, what now?
. . .
Suddenly, Bigby approached her waist with his warm hands to his body. Snow yelped quietly, shocked. Then, she froze when Bigby kissed her red lips very softly, as she could break. The raven haired woman couldn't react, the sensations were too much for her. Her heart was beating madly, each part of her body that was touching Bigby, felt really hot.
The Big Bad Wolf separated his lips from hers. He kept the laugh in his throat when he saw her face. Snow White was blushed as a tomato. Bigby admitted that he never knew that kind of face from his boss.
"Come on, Snow. It was… Just a little peck." He sneered.
"… I told you we could take this slowly…"
"We've been going very well, I think. A few centuries was enough, don't you think?"
Snow giggled, a little nervous.
"I'm going."
"Uh… Ye-Yeah…"
"And don't worry." He said when he reached the door. "I'll come back."
Once he finished his sentence, he opened the door and he was greeted by some fables that were waiting in the line.
Snow just smiled warmly at the door where he disappeared.
He would come back.
. . .
The end.
. . .
I KNOW! I'M TERRIBLE! I'M SORRY! IT JUST THAT I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO END THIS STORY. I MEAN, I KNEW, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO BRING IT TO THE END. UGH.
Snow just wanted to take her relationship with Bigby in a slow pace, but Bigby waited enough, don't' you think? XD
Anyway, I hope you liked it!
We'll read each other in the future!
