(1467 words) 

Your POV 

If you asked me how long I thought I had been down in the dungeon, I wouldn't be able to tell you. All I really knew was that I messed up, royally this time. I've been down here for about a week, Rumple hasn't come down here to see me. Let alone give me food, I'm pretty well positive that he's still simmering in his tower. 

Looking at the door I sighed gently, putting my hand on the floor as I leaned against the wall, I looked around the small room like I have the entire time I've been down here. Finding my voice after a small cough, I closed my eyes and started to sing. 

When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
There's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find

Cos even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We've got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won't give up

I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we've got yeah, we got a lot at stake

And in the end, you're still my friend at least we did intend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I got, and what I'm not and who I am

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

So easy is our life
What's mine is yours and yours mine
Hardly do we ever find
We'd rather be kind

I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get dark
I'm healing this broken heart
And I know I'm worthy

I won't give up on us
God knows I'm tough, I am love
We got a lot to learn
God knows we're worthy

No, I won't give up on us
God knows I've had enough
We got a lot to learn
And we're, and we're worthy

No, I won't give up
No, I won't give up

Once I had finished, I watched as the door opened slowly. Looking over to it Rumple stepped into the cell. His head was down, clasping his hands together, and looked at the straw-covered floor. 

"Here to finish me off? Turn me into a toad?" 

"No, I'm inviting you to attend dinner." 

Standing up I brushed myself off before I looked at him confused. 

"But you said-" 

"I know what I said!" 

He cleared his throat, looking up at me. 

" Also, the castle is getting dusty again, you can continue our agreement tomorrow" 

Huffing, I walked by him and made my way back up to the main floor. That was before he appeared in front of me.
