Rumbelle OneShots

Kindness (1)

A.N- OMG my first one shot! Let's see how this goes...

Rumplestiltskin was outside with his son, Baelfire. His son was ten years old now and it was wonderful, even if they were poor. Rumplestiltskin's wife, Milah, was gone, she was in a bar full of drunk pirates. Baelfire didn't know much about his mom because he didn't get to see her a lot. Rumplestiltskin tried to stay strong for his son and smile, but inside, he felt sad that Baelfire didn't really have a mother. They were going to the grocery, when a carriage stopped them. The King of Avonlea...The king stopped them and got out of his carriage. He went in front of Baelfire and Rumplestiltskin with some of his soldiers.
-Look who's here...the coward of the town! The king said and laughed. Soldiers... He said and they knew what to do.
They took the boy and held him tightly and Baelfire tried to protest and scream, but couldn't do anything. The king told Rumplestiltskin to get on his knees and kiss the boots of the king.
-Please...you can make me do anything, but not in front of my son. Please! Rumplestiltskin begged but the king pushed his head to the boots...that dirty boots with mud. Baelfire was watching the scene shocked and screamed "NOOOOOOOOOO", trying to escape, but the soldiers covered the boy's mouth and tightened their grip on the little 10-year old boy. Until...
The princess of Avonlea, Belle French, the daughter of king of Avonlea, appeared.
She was an eighteen year-old girl with chestnut curls, wonderful blue eyes and an accent you wouldn't soon forget. Her name was Belle French. Then, she pushed her father away from the poor man and took the boy with her.
-Are you alright? Are you ok, little boy? What's your name? Belle asked gently and looked at the shy boy in front of her, who was going to watch something he should never see. The boy answered quietly 'Baelfire' and looked down. Belle felt very sad for the boy and hugged him, then went to his father. She helped him up and looked at him, her blue eyes shinning like diamonds.
-Oh goodness me! I am so sorry my dad wanted to do this to you! I am so, so sorry! I am really ashamed of what was going to happen...and in front of your son...she said and tears appeared in her eyes. She looked at her father and gave him a cold look that meant he wasn't going to be forgiven too soon. She turned back to the man and gave him his cane back, because Rumplestiltskin was limping and needed his walking stick.
-What is your name? Belle asked and tried to wipe away the tears that started to fall from her eyes. She felt really bad for the man and for his son
-Rumplestiltskin... Rumple spoke quietly and looked down. Belle put a finger under his chin and raised his head. He opened his eyes and looked at her. He thought she was so...gorgeous and angelic. He was shocked by her beauty but he thought

'she would never want to have anything to do with me'
He woke up from his trance and saw her smile. Gosh, her smile was so beautiful, he would love to see it every day. What the heck was he thinking about!
Belle smiled at the poor man and thought she should help him and his son to go back to their home.
-Can I help you go back home? Belle asked innocently and looked at the poor spinner, then at his son.
-It would be really kind of you...Rumplestiltskin said and she took the boy's hand. Baelfire held his papa's hand and Belle's hand and the princess helped them go back home safely. On their way home, a man stopped and pointed at Rumplestiltskin, laughing and shouting 'You stupid coward!' and Belle got angry. She went to the man and slapped him.
-How dare you talk like that about the poor man! Never do it again!
-And who are you, exactly?
-The princess of Avonlea, of course!
The man remained shocked and bowed in front of the princess, then left. Belle came back to them and took Baelfire's hand and arrived to their house. She entered in the house after them and smiled, looking around. It felt so...safe. So...like home. She spotted a picture with Rumplestiltskin and his son and smiled brighter when she saw it. She loved that pictures. She thought 'This man really loves his son' and looked at them.
-Your house is wonderful she said and smiled at them. She was dressed in a simple blue dress and she thanked God for that.
-T-Thank you, your majesty, Rumplestiltskin spoke quietly and tried to look at Belle.
-Oh, please, call me Belle
-B-But we can't, Rumplestiltskin and Baelfire spoke at the same time.
-Please, I insist, you both are real gentlemen, Belle said and smiled
-I am Baelfire! The little boy spoke excitedly and jumped in her arms. Belle caught him and giggled cutely
-I am Rumplestiltskin, My Lady, Rumplestiltskin decided to say and bowed in front of the princess.
-Please, there's no need to bow in front of me. Your name is wonderful, very unique. Can I call you Rumple?
-O-Of course, My Lady...
And this is how a wonderful friendship started...
