Being Belle (x reader)

The door to the diner swung open and I looked to see who was coming in. My heart skipped a beat when Mr. Gold looked my direction. I couldn't breath. It was like, the moment his focused black eyes hit me everything stopped.

Then I saw her, and I felt a bit sick. It was Belle. They came in together all the time. Actually, he only came alone to get the rent from Widow and Ruby.

I watched them walk over to their normal booth and sit down across from each other. All I ever wanted was to me her for a day, and maybe I could. I took a deep breath and went to take their orders.

"What can I get you two this morning?"

"Just eggs and bacon." Gold told me solemnly.

"Actually we will both get breakfast salads." Belle smiled. Gold shot her a glare and she shot one back.

I nodded, "Two breakfast salads coming right up." I walked back and made the order. Wile I was waiting I paced, 'Today is the day. Today I will be able to control my magic. Today I will switch bodies with Belle French.' I did this every day when they came in, but today was the day.

I stuffed a note in my pocket before I gabbing their food and walked over to the table. "Here you guys go. Also Belle," she looked strait into my eyes. That was all I needed. I focused all my energy on her. Then I felt it. Slowly, and all at once we switched.

I saw a moment of panic in my own body before she saw the note and read it. It said:

We are switching for a bit. Don't worry, you won't remember in the morning. -y/n

She looked at me and nodded, "I'll see you later Belle and Rumple." Then she left.

I pulled her phone from my pocket and looked at the camera. I wad a flawless face and beautiful brown hair. I was every mans dream, and my dream sat across from me. I looked up at him, ready to cry.

"Belle, are you okay dear?"

"Yeah Rumple. I'm fine." I had been dying to call him that since the first time I heard Belle say it.

We prayed and then ate. After our meal he took me back to the pawn shop.

When we got there he led me to the back room, because he had things to do. I hopped up on the wooden table, and took it all in. I had never been in the back room of his shop before. It was much more cluttered then the front. I liked it.

"Sitting on the table?" I furrowed his brow.

"Oh, sorry I'll-"

"No no. It's fine." He smiled. Rumplestiltskin smiled at me. Well, it wasn't me. He was smiling at Belle.

A little wile later

"Would you like to walk down to the docks with me? I have some business to attend to, and wouldn't mind the company."

I jumped of the table, "Yeah!"

He raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "If I didn't know any better, I'd say you've never been to the docks with me before."

I blushed, "I just like the ships." That was true. I loved seeing the ships, but I was most excited to see them with Gold."

When we got to the docks Gold took my hand in his, "You look beautiful."

He was talking about Belle's body? Not mine. "Thank you."

"You don't see, as thrilled with the compliment as you normally are."

"Oh, sorry." I felt his metal rings against my hand. They were cold in the wind, but I actually kinda liked it. I looks at the beautiful ships all around.

I said the name of one under my breath and he asked what I said. That's how the conversation started. As we walked I pointed out different boats. He was fascinated with the different types I talked about.

When we reached the the ship he was looking for I followed him on deck and he asked me to wait there. I watched him go into the cabin. I pulled Belle's jacket closer against me. I didn't see the point in even wearing this jacket. It barley did anything against the harsh winds. I needed a hoodie or something.

Soon Rumple came out of the cabin and led me back onto the docks. We walked a ways, talking and joking. He smiled a couple time. His smiled warmed me up, "You should smile more." He only chuckled. I would never understand this man.

When we reached the car he squeezed my hand. I stopped before opening my door and looked towards him. He let go of my hand and slipped into my back and leaned into kiss me. I put my hand on his chest to stop him.

"I'm not Belle."

"I know." Then he kissed me. I forgot everything for a moment as I kissed him. Then we broke apart. He was smirking.

"What do you mean you know?"

"I'm not gullible as you seem to think miss l/n. Not only can I sense magic, and knew there was something going on when you used magic in the diner, but you are very different from Belle."

"How so?"

"Belle would never sit on the table, and she always acts like a lady. She wants to travel, but she gets see sick. She wouldn't have even gone on the ship, and she surly wouldn't have known the names of all the ships. Also, Belle hates the feeling of my rings against her skin. She always asks me to remove them when we hold hands. So, I'll drive you back to your house, and you can change into whatever you like, and I'll take you out to dinner before this wears off. Deal?"

And that's how I made my first deal with Rumplestiltskin.
