The Unexpected (A Gafou Fanfic)

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Lefou's POV

 Gaston did exactly what I feared he would do, he attempted to kill the Beast. The irony though is that the Beast is a lovely prince named Adam and it's next to impossible to hate the guy. He has shown me tremendous mercy because I divulged some helpful information to him about Gaston and his devious schemes. The thing I'd like to touch upon though is Gaston's sweet side. He doesn't reveal it very often nor does he reveal it to many people... but there were a few moments in which he revealed it to me. Even though he was the most important person in his eyes, he did treat me like a close second most of the time. That's one of the main reasons why it was so hard to abandon him. Everyone has asked me "Why didn't you flee from such an evil guy?" They'd also say "You're so much kinder than he is, he doesn't deserve a friend like you." He probably doesn't but yet I always stuck around. 

      I'm allowed to live in private quarters here in the castle as a reward for my good deed. To be honest, I feel much safer here than I would back in the village. I've been known as Gaston's right hand man for so long that if I were to go back now, there would be dozens of villagers rioting in front of my house. Prince Adam sent Lumiere out the other day to retrieve a lot of my clothes, pictures, books, money, etc. I didn't have to worry about food though because the kitchen staff cooks three extraordinary meals a day and offers a variety of snacks to nibble on throughout the day as well. I've also made a good friend in Belle. We've stayed up talking a lot in the library talking over the last few days. Even though Gaston irks her deeply, she does feel some sympathy for him. She's truly a wonderful gal. 

       I actually came out to her and Adam last night about my sexuality (I'm incredibly gay), both of whom were very accepting of me. What I have yet to confess though is that very man I have feelings for may easily be locked away for the rest of his life in just a matter of days. He's sitting alone in a prison cell dwelling on his unknown fate. When this case goes to trial, he's going to feel humiliated having the eyes of the entire village and castle on him. My poor Gaston, even though he made some horribly bad decisions, he doesn't deserve so much hatred. If everyone chooses to banish him from the village, that's fine, I can work with that. What I refuse to accept and allow is for him to rot away alone in a prison cell for the rest of his life. I can't bear that thought for longer than a few seconds without wanting to vomit. 

         I just really miss him though... I want to be by his side again. Even though I'm dreading the trial, I'm looking forward to being able to see his face with my own eyes, to stare at him as much as I please. I need Gaston back, I really do. I can feel my heart breaking even more with every passing hour that I'm separated from him. I hope he's thinking of me though... even just a little bit. 

I hope that you guys liked this first chapter! :) -Mary
