OUAT Imagines

The Tattoo (Pt. 1)

"Find the man with the lion tattoo, he'll be in the nearest bar you can find, he'll surely help you, deary," once again, Rumpelstiltskin leaves me hanging.

You should've known better.

Said that stupid little voice in my head, but it's right, I should've known better.

I need money to get out of this forest, and if the man Rumple is talking about can help me, then so be it.

I made my way back to the center of the village trying to find a bar. It shouldn't be hard.

*20 minutes later*

I open the door to the bar and the stench of rum hits my nose and I cringe a bit.

It took about 5 minutes to find the man with the lion tattoo.

Probably because Rumple didn't tell me where it was.

I slowly walk up to him expecting an old drunk with a beer belly.

His back is faced to me so all I can see is his slightly golden brown hair, his body being hidden by two other men.

I reach in one of the open spaces between the two men and tap on his shoulder.

The two men turn around, giving tattoo guy room to turn around in his stool.

Suddenly I feel intimidated by his face and muscular build. He's gorgeous.

"How can I help you, love?"he gives me a small smile.

I return it and manage to say,"Can I have a word in private? Preferrably outside."

"I suppose if I wasn't so sober right now I would ask you to buy me a drink first, but I havent lost my senses yet, unfortunately."

"Help me and I'll pay you enough to buy this whole dump."

"Come on then, I don't have all day," he walked to the door and held it open for me.

May I just say that his accent makes him a thousand times more attractive.

"What do you need help with, love. I suppose a beautiful woman like you wouldn't want to be held up for so long so, why don't we get this over with?"

I am probably a deep shade of beet red by now.  

"I need money, and I heard that's your specialty," I let out a shaky breath, not knowing what he would respond to that.

"That's right, my merry men and I take from the rich, and give to the poor. What rich prick are we taking from," he basically spat when he said the words 'rich prick', this should be easy.

"The Evil Queen herself, there's a loaded carriage that is supposed to pass by tomorrow afternoon."

"The Queen, are you mad, the queen will not only want your head on a spike, but also mine, not to mention all of my men."

"Come on, you're the great Robin Hood, the one everyone talks about, what can 4 Queen's Guards do? I've already checked with my sources and the queen won't be riding in the carriage, or on horseback. Please help me, you're my only option left," I pleaded for my life in that moment.

"All right, fine, but on one condition," that smirk on his face was so hot, but made me feel like I wouldn't like what was coming next.

"A-And what's that?"

"You let me buy you a drink."
