Rumples POV
My feet echoed as I step into the bright light of the asylum. It gave me a slight shiver to be back here, but great satisfaction that it's to see Scar and not Belle.
"Can I help you?" The middle aged nurse looked up over her glasses as me.
"Yes you can actually, I'm here to see, Steve, you might now him as Scar?" I raised my eyebrows.
She looked at her watch and sighed.
"Visiting hours are over in 5 minutes...but it looks like you just made it in time..." She gritted her teeth.
"Perfect," I smile at her, knowing she was annoyed.
"....follow me..." She mumbled.
She led me down the hall and the slightly flickering light made me squint.
She came to a halt and bent down a little, opening a tiny sliding door.
"Scar, Mr Golds here to see you..." She said, before giving me daggers.
She slid the bolt unlocked and pushed the heavy door open.
She held the door open for me and I glided through.
She looked at her watch again,
"5 minutes," she huffed before shutting the door again.
I stared at Scar.
It gave me great pleasure to see a dark purple circle around his left eye were I'd hit him. He's only been in here this morning and he's already up to his eyes balls with drugs.
"Afternoon," i smirked.
He looked up and rolled his eyes at me.
"Charming," I laughed slightly.
"No, I'm Scar," he winked a little lazily.
"Glad to see your sense of humor is still intact, even in a place like this," I stood over him.
He snorted and leaned his head against the wall.
"Gloating will get you nowhere Mr Gold," he coughed.
"Oh really? Well we'll see about that dearie," I winked.
I heard the scratch of the bolts slide open and the hinges of the door squeaked as a man with long, greasy brown hair came in wheeling a large trolley.
He didn't make eye contact or acknowledge me and plonked a tray of food onto Scars lap.
"I'll be back to collect it in 10 minutes," he wiped his nose on his sleeve making me scrunch my face up in disgust.
He left without saying another word.
I look at the tray and spot the almost grey liquid that I think was supposed to be tea.
Perfect.
Scar dug right into the slop and I just watched him.
Hmmm...
I wave my hand over Scar and a purple haze surrounded him, frozen.
I slipped the small bottle of potion out of my pocket and untwisted the cap.
Sighing contently, I slowly pour the liquid into Scars tea then mix it with the spoon next to him.
Placing the spoon down and replacing the bottle into my pocket again, I unfreeze him. He continued as normal, as if nothing as happened.
I need to get out of here quick, or I'll be his next true love - and nobody wants that.
"I'll be off, don't expect to see me again," I say coldly, letting myself out.
I breathe a sigh if relief as I leave the asylum.
Well, that went rather well didn't it Gold.
Belles POV
"So have you set a date yet?" Ruby leafed through a random book at the library.
"No we need to talk about that later because, well I'd love it before Christmas, but not too close, you know?" I replied.
"Right," she laughed placing the book down the wrong way.
I fight off my instincts to scold her and just smile.
"Granny needs to know soon as well so she can start with the food, we also need to decorate the forest," Ruby was almost reciting a list in her head.
Oh gosh there's so much to do...
She obviously saw the concerned look on my face as she came over and squeezed my shoulders.
"Don't stress about it Belle, you have plenty of time - and it's not like your doing it all by yourself, you've got me, Gold, Granny, and well I'm sure pretty much the whole of Storybrooke will be prepared to help with something!" Ruby smiled supportively.
I took a deep breath out.
"You're right," I nod.
What would I do without her?
Rumples POV
"I'm home sweetheart!" Belles voice sang through the house.
"Hey Belle," I replied.
I was sat on the kitchen counter trying to choose a nicer ring for Belle.
I span around on the kitcher chair into her arms.
She squeezed me tight and kissed my shoulder.
She slid herself into my lap and I looked down at her.
"So I was speaking to Ruby today," she started.
"Mh?" I place my hands on her back to support her.
"Well, we both decided that we need to set a date, like, seriously!" She laughed.
"Good thing I've been thinking about that as well..." I smiled.
She raised her eyebrows and looked slightly shocked.
"Oh yes?" She asked, her hands wrapped around my neck.
"How about, the 5th of December?" I smile.
She smiled, but frowned.
"Rumple, you do realise it's the, 30th of November, right?" She giggled nervously.
"I'm perfectly aware," I rubbed her back.
"Rumple! Are, are you sure??" She asks.
"If I could, I'd marry you right now! Of course I'm sure," i reply.
I would if I could, but I know she wants it to be perfect.
She breaths out excitedly before leaning forward and kissing me.
"5th of December!" She said squealed.
"5th of December..." I kissed her forehead.
I don't want to wait any longer for her to be my lovely wife.
She's so excited bless her, she's gorgeous.
"Come on then!" She jumps off and pulls me to my feet.
"We have five days to get this wedding ready - so we'd better get started!" She looked up at me, a beautiful smile across her face.
"Let's get going."
Belles POV
We planned all afternoon and didn't stop until late into the night.
My mind was over flowing with images of flowers, dresses, rings, suits and cakes.
I flopped on the sofa and sighed.
"Tea darling?"
"I love you," i smiled with appreciation.
He knows I've been working my bum off and need a rest.
Rumples POV
Belle flops on the couch and her head is facing the other way.
Now's my chance.
"Tea darling?" I ask, knowing she'll say yes as she's been working very hard this afternoon.
"I love you," she sighs.
I chuckle and boil the kettle.
The bottle is in my trouser pocket.
I open the cupboard and pull out two mugs.
She's still facing the other way and her eyes are closed.
I hum slightly as I make the tea.
Slightly hesitating because of nerves, I take the bottle of out of my pocket and start to unscrew the lid, the counter blocking the view.
Suddenly Belle twists around.
"What do you fancy for dinner?" She asks.
I snap my head and act as natural as I can.
"Order something?" I suggest.
"Yes that sounds good, i don't mind, you choose," She smiles before settling herself down again.
"Great..."
I gulp and continue taking off the lid.
As quick as I can I pour the liquid in and stir it.
"Here we go..." I take the two cups over to her and make sure I pass her the one in my right.
She sits up and takes it from me and I slide on the sofa next to her.
Nervously I sit and watch her cup her hands around the mug and take her first sip.
She frowned.
Oh no.
She turned to me.
"Did you sugar this?" She asks politely.
"Yes," I act natural.
"Okay..." She shrugs taking another sip.
I think I've gotten away with it, so far...
