A/N: There was this great post on Tumblr about someone getting a legitimate government letter saying they'd 'destroyed government property' for giving her boyfriend a hickey.
Of course, my brain immediately jumped to Lieutenant Duckling.
So, have some fluffy, modern!LD!
Enjoy!
Emma narrowed her eyes at the letter sitting in front of her, as she sat in her regular coffee shop.
Destruction of government property?
She took a long sip of her cocoa, looking up when the bell dinged, alerting that someone was entering. It was her best friend, Elsa.
"Morning." Elsa smiled, setting her bag down, "What's that?"
"I don't know-I got it in the mail this morning. Says I 'destroyed government property'." Emma shrugged, "I don't ever remember doing that."
"Huh." Elsa spoke, pulling her glasses from her bag and taking the letter. Emma watched her read it over, furrowing her brows when her friend burst into a fit of giggles.
"What?" Emma asked.
"Did you read the whole thing?"
Emma snatched the letter back from her friend, reading it over again.
Oh, god.
Really?
"You have received this notice for the 'hickey' on the side of Lieutenant Killian Jones' neck, and making it visible while in his uniform." Emma read through giggles, "Oh my god."
"Guess he didn't hide it well enough."
"Obviously not." Emma giggled, "Oops."
"He's your husband-and, new husband at that-what did they expect?"
"Oh, look at this part," Emma laughed, "You harmed government property, don't do it again."
Emma and Elsa both doubled over in laughter, filling the otherwise quiet coffee shop with their giggles.
"They told you not to do it again." Elsa said as her giggles faded, "That's hilarious."
"Wait until Killian sees this. He'll probably die of laughter." Emma giggled, "This is just too funny."
"I didn't even know that was a thing." Elsa smiled.
"Apparently, it is." Emma grinned, "I feel like this is a law I'll be breaking a lot."
"Probably." Elsa teased.
"I just... This country." Emma giggled, "Incredible."
"I wish I could see Killian's face when you tell him."
"Maybe I'll find a way to sneakily record it." Emma teased.
"Do it!" Elsa laughed.
Oh, god. Emma didn't even know what to do.
"Swan, I'm home!" Killian called through their small home. Emma smiled and looked over the edge of the couch to see him setting his bag down by the door.
"How was your shift?"
"Long." Killian sighed, "But, mostly uneventful. Did you have any calls today?"
"None. I spent the whole day with Elsa, in her pretty, thirtieth-floor office."
"Ooh, fancy." Killian grinned, as he sauntered over, "Did you drink champagne and talk about fashion?"
"The second half, yes." Emma giggled, closing her laptop as he rounded the couch to sit beside her, "The first part, not so much."
"Evening, love." He whispered before leaning forward and pressing his lips to hers.
"Hi." Emma smiled, grabbing the letter from the table and pushing it against his chest, "Read this."
"Hm?" Killian chuckled, taking the letter with his good hand and reading it over.
Emma watched his expression change from confusion to elation before he started laughing.
"Way to go, sweetheart." He laughed, handing her the letter back, "You've officially broken the law."
"You say that like I haven't before." Emma giggled, "Isn't that funny? I thought it was the most random thing."
"Aye, it's a bit random." Killian chuckled, "Glad to know the government is doing their job."
"Did your superior say anything about it?"
"Yeah, the guys all gave me shit for it." Killian smiled, "No wonder it got up to the top."
"At least you didn't get in trouble."
"No, I didn't." Killian chuckled, setting his hand on her cheek, "But, I wouldn't be opposed to breaking the law perhaps just one more time."
"Oh, is that so?" Emma grinned.
"Aye." Killian smiled, leaning forward to press his lips to hers again.
She didn't mind breaking the law every once in a while, she supposed.
