Mr. Gold/Belle, G
Summary: Belle’s friends drag her out for drinks and karaoke on one of her last nights in Storybrooke. After a couple of glasses, she gets up the nerve to sing a song about unrequited love, secretly directed at her friend Mr. Gold. Except Mr. Gold is in the audience.
Notes: For the June prompt at @a-monthly-rumbelling: drinking, karaoke, dancing, kissing, date. I think I worked them all in in some way. Go me. Also note the blink and you’ll miss it Red Warrior. 😉 Unbeta’d so there’s probably tons of errors.

“Come on, Belle!” Ruby whined. “You have to come out with us.”
Belle gave her friend a look as Ariel came around to sit on her other side. At the end of the counter, Mr. Gold waited for Granny to ring up his lunch order. He barely spared her a glance as he handed over the money, and she sighed.
“Yeah, Belles,” said Ariel as she twisted back and forth on the stool. “It’s your last weekend in Storybrooke. Monday you’ll be in the big city, and you’ll forget all about us and this little po-dunk town.”
“Oh, I will not,” Belle said, smiling and shaking her head. “I could never forget either of you!”
“So you’re coming tonight, right?” Ariel asked, tilting her head as her smile widened into a grin.
Ruby slid off her stool and stood between Belle and Ariel, her arms around both women’s shoulders. “There’ll be karaoke…” she said in a sing-song voice.
This is so sweet and cute. These two idiots, loving each other and not saying the words. *happy sigh*
