Most Prized Possesion (Rumbelle)

Chapter 12 What Would I Do Without You?

Belle's POV

"So you've gotten notes too?" I say cuddling my coffee cup, huddled in an armchair in Rumples shop.

"Yes...that's why I called Emma, I wanted it to be dealt with straight away, I didn't want you involved because, because I care about you too much," he looked at me, willing me to believe him.

I do, but he obviously thinks I can't protect myself...

"Belle, say something, please?" He half begged.

I take a deep breath and put down my coffee.

I walk over to where he was sitting and kneel down putting his hands into mine.

"I understand, I do, as I said before, I feel like no-one thinks I can handle anything, just the daughter of some war torn lands king, like a child who needs to be protected from everything..."

He sighed, I could feels his eyes on me as I looked at the wooden floorboards.

"You are so much more than that, everyone knows you are a hero - Belle, you gave up your whole life to come and be nothing but a servant to me, and I'm glad you did," he said, lifting up my chin delicately with his hand, so I had no choice but to look him in the eye.

Without saying a word, he leant forward and kissed me.

At first I didn't react, but after a couple of seconds, I combed my fingers through his silky hair.

We stopped, leaning our foreheads on each other's.

"So," I say, leaning back onto my knees.

"What are we going to do?"

Rumple's POV

How does she keep on forgiving me? So faithful even when I keep doing things like this. She doesn't deserve me...

"So, what are we going to do?" She sighs.

"Well, we should notify Emma of what you found at the library, she will check CCTV and will see who broke in and then we will go from there," I smiled at her bravely.

"Right, his most prized possession....your, your dagger..." She looked at me, grave.

I suddenly felt a rush of fear taking over me. I knew it was my dagger that was being targeted, but I'd never said it out loud before. It suddenly sunk in that if they get it, I will be helpless. Everything will be out of control. I will be out of control.

She read my thoughts through my facial expression and came over and hugged me tightly. She knew if I lost my dagger, she would loose me, again.

"It'll be fine," she said still hugging me, rubbing my back with one hand.

"I can't be like that again..." I sobbed into her shoulder.

This wasn't like me. Wasn't like sharp tongued, brave Mr Gold.

If anyone else was here, I would have kept my composure, not let it get to me.

But because it's only Belle, I know I can be myself. I know she won't think anything less of me.

"Come on, dry your tears Rumple, it's going to be okay," she smiled, rubbing the tears off my soaking face.

"What would I do without you," I say kissing her forehead.

She sighed, just looking at me.

"Come on, it's time to go home."
