Hey there.
Guess who is still thinking about Breaking Glass?
"May I have the honour?" He asks.
And in those lines, he has ruined me for any other OTP.
The fact he calls it an honour. An honour for her to open up another layer. An honour to see the girl he will never get to meet but still loves because she is the woman he loves today. An honour to see more of her story. An honour to peek over those walls.
Look at how nervous she is as she hands the box over to him. She keeps her eyes averted. She doesn't know what to expect, because she has never opened up like this before.
He, however, has not stopped looking at her. Our Consent King is giving her every opportunity to bail out. He is also checking in on her. He knows she doesn't let those walls down easily, so he is watching for any indication that this is not something she is okay with.
Jaw set. Emma is uncomfortable but she is going to let him in. She's also terrified by what his response will be. She knows what she sees in this meagre collection; but what will Killian see? What will he think? What will she do with his reactions? This is new territory for her.
The moment before she sees his reaction.
But, we see it. Look at the joy on that man's face! He is seeing more Swan and he couldn't be happier. This is what she kept. These are meaningful and happy things that she's held on to. I imagine that he is imagining the girl who would hold these things dear.
Emma has seen his reaction. He isn't pitying her. He isn't passing any comment or judgment on her offerings. He isn't running from her. He is DELIGHTING in her and in this moment. She is smiling, you can see the relief of the burden lifted from her shoulders.
The absolute delight in this smile. She is sharing with him, Emma let him into the softest part of her and it is beautiful and perfect. She let HIM see. She trusts him - which is a lot harder than getting her to love him.
She's pleased, relieved, and almost a bit... contented? Almost as if she is thinking "What was I expecting? Of course, he gets it."

The Killian Jones SIMP LOG
In which I chronicle every instance of Killian simping for his girlfriend in Once Upon a time Season 4
PART IV: BREAKING GLASS
19. E.5 Killian taking Henry sailing. Sure that's partly because he likes being around Henry, but also because he likes being a special part of Emma's family.
20. E.5 How softly Killian speaks to her in her office at the end of this episode when he stops by, and how gently he looks at her.
21. E.5 His smile when he sees her old glasses in the box, ecstatic to find that piece of her past and picture what she must've been like when she wore them.
22. E.5 Killian not being angry at her for keeping the photo of her and Neal. You can tell, he gets a little annoyed, a little hurt, it's a touchy subject, but, really, he just quietly carries any grief the picture gives him and moves right along. I also think it's important that we can tell that it does affect him- because honestly, if you see that your significant other kept a picture of them being happy with their ex, it's normal to feel a little jealous, but he makes the intentional choice not to act on his feelings of jealousy.
23. E.5 Killian just holding her hand, ready to watch the old videos with her, telling her he loves hearing about her beginning and finding out more about her.
24. E.5 Killian's smile when he sees this video of Emma, as a child, just being goofy and carefree and happy for once in her life.
