Accidental Relationship

From a request on tumblr by anonymous, "Can you do a Gaston x reader with numbers 71, 76, and 83 please?"

71. "Kiss me, quick!"

76. "I need you to pretend we're dating..."

83. "It's always been you."

          It was a quiet day in this poor, provincial town. Same as it always is. I went into the market to pick up more ink for my quill, but as I was walking to the stand that sold it, I accidentally bumped into someone.

"I'm so sorry, I wasn't looking at where I was going..." my voice trailed off as I looked at the person I ran into. Gaston, of all people. I have had a bit of a crush on him ever since I first moved into town. I've always tried to avoid him, just because I was horrified that I would make a fool of myself.

"Ah, yes! Just the beautiful lady I was looking for," Gaston said with a smirk on his face. My face flushed a light shade of pink at those words.

"Why were you looking for me?" I ask, with a hint of curiosity in my tone.

"Yes, well, you see Y/N, I need you to pretend we're dating." he explains, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly.

"I beg your pardon? We have to pretend to date each other?" I ask, chuckling a little bit.

"Yes, but just for tonight. Unless you don't want to pretend," He says with a smirk.

"You see, I am hosting a dinner tonight at the tavern and everyone I have invited is bringing a date, and the host can't show up without a date! That's just unheard of! They asked who I was bringing, and you were the first woman that came to mind." He explains. "So, would you like to join me tonight for dinner?" He asks me with a hopeful look in his eyes.

"O-Of course," I mutter, my face presumably as red as his coat now.

"Great! I'll pick you up around 5:30 tonight." He says with a grin.

"I guess I'll see you then," I say as I walk off and go to buy my ink and head home.

*Later in the evening*

I had invited Belle over to help me get ready. She's known about my liking for Gaston for a while. We still had a lot of time before I had to get ready, so I grabbed a book and so did Belle. I got lost in my book and completely lost track of the time.

I look up from my book a while later to look at the clock. "5:15?! Gaston's coming to pick me up in 15 minutes!" I hop off of my couch and race to my room. "I don't even have a dress picked out!"

Belle chuckles, "Why are you so worried? It's just for tonight. Plus, I don't think he'll care that much about your appearance, I think he's just glad you accepted the date."

"I know, but it's with friends of his. If they're anything like him, they have really high expectations and I want to impress them." I explain as I start grabbing dresses out of my closet and laying them out on my bed.

There were three options. A red dress (Think of Maria Reynolds from Hamilton), a purple one, and a mint green dress. (I'm just using the styles of the dresses from Hamilton for this, I'm too lazy to research.)

"Well, they're all great, but I think the red one suits you the best." Belle says as she hands it to me.

"When you finish getting dressed, come out and show me. Then I'll help you with your hair." She walks out of my bedroom and I put the dress on.

About 10 minutes later I'm finally finished. My hair is done like Belle's, she wanted to see how it would look on me, and I have simple nude makeup with a dark pink lipstick shade. I sat on my couch and waited for him to arrive.
