His gesture threw me off and I could feel my face heating up, but that was the only thing I could feel. I shook my head before he rested his head on my shoulder. I leaned my gead against his and held his hand. “Well at some point, we have to go out because I don’t know if you’ve seen the fridge, but it’s pretty empty” I said. “How about I cook for us tonight” I suggested. it’s been a while since I cooked - I realized.

Present day ~ December 3rd
LeFou’s evasive reply caused Gaston feel even more curious. His friend could not be called a paragon, but at the same time, he was not repulsive to the eye. “Of course, she liked me more.” Gaston ran his hand through his shiny, jet-black hair. “But she also smiled at you. You should have taken that as an invitation." He concluded with an audible hint of disappointment. He didn’t want his friend to be better or more confident than him, but at the same time, he shouldn’t be so reserved. He shook his head.
The waitress returned almost immediately after he said the last sentence. Her round cheeks were even redder than before. Now they matched the color of Gaston’s favorite coat. The woman placed two cups of coffee in front of them (with uneven foam hearts in the middle of the drink - no wonder, her hands were shaking unimaginably).
She stood for a moment, crumbling scrap of paper in her hands. Gaston frowned, slowly losing his patience. She should be gone a long time ago - why was she still standing there?! The redhead took a deep breath. Apparently, she filled her lungs not only with air but also with confidence. Almost immediately, with a brave face, she placed a piece of paper, which was slightly damp with sweat, in the center of the table. She gave them the most nervous smile Gaston had ever seen and quickly returned to her station.
Gaston hurriedly picked up the paper. Curiosity was eating him up from the inside.
The content of the paper was expected. In lopsided letters was written the woman’s phone number with a small heart beside it. Gaston chuckled to himself. His mind flashed back to what his companion had said just moments ago. “Then maybe it’s time to start having a timetable,” he suggested, tossing the piece of paper towards his friend. “Even if you don’t like her, it won’t hurt to have a little…” he bit his lip. “… fun.”

I sighed softly when he said he couldn’t feel when I kissed him on his neck. “Im sorry I thought that would work.” I admitted as we cuddled back in on the couch. “Yeah I know I need groceries I think if we wait a little bit the snow might let up some.” I was hoping so because Genosta was right the fridge didn’t have much in it let alone hardly enough to make a meal. “I would love to try your cooking as long as your comfortable cooking that is though, Don’t feel like you have to cook to earn your keep or something here just stay here with me.” I say as I smile at him.

Gaston’s blue eyes sparkled with even more curiosity. “Of course she liked me more.” Gaston ran his fingers through his shiny, dark hair. Everything about him was perfect and “shiny”, standing out from the rest of the crowd. They both had black hair, but LeFou’s was dull and thin compared to his friend’s. Of course she did. He repeated in his head a bit bitterly. “But she also smiled at you. You should have taken that as an invitation.” LeFou looked at Gaston like he had grown another head which wouldn’t be a bad thing as he had a very beautiful, perfect face. “She smiled at me because I’m with you, Gaston.” LeFou clarified, looking down at the table. Yes, that had to be it.
He paused as the waitress returned, her face redder than her striking hair. LeFou stared at her this time-trying to pick up any signals. Could what Gaston have said really be true? He doubted it. She set his cup in front of him, the foam hearts uneven from her shaky hands. She was pretty jittery, but he didn’t mind. He thanked her as quietly and politely as he would thank anyone.
He heard the crinkling of paper-what was that? He felt some sort of strange vibe from Gaston, but was too busy looking for the crinkling. She took a deep breath and set a damp, wrinkled slip of paper in the center of the table. Smiling awkwardly, she returned to the station before either of the men could say anything. LeFou glanced at the paper curiously, but allowed Gaston to be the first to see what it was.
After a moment, he couldn’t help but lean over Gaston’s broad shoulder to see what was there. A number and a doodle as well. Gaston chuckled, and LeFou did nothing, he was not surprised. How many times had this happened to Gaston? Countless times. “Then maybe it’s time to start having a timetable.” LeFou kept his eyes on Gaston as the paper was tossed to him. He groped around to pick it up, not wanting the waitress to feel hurt when Gaston tossed it away by ignoring it. “Even if you don’t like her, it won’t hurt to have a little.” He bit his lip-another swallow. That dangerous lip bite and Gaston’s tone… “Fun.” LeFou sighed lightly, “You know me, Gaston. Fun… is not my thing. I don’t have fun. Well, that kind of fun.”

I gave him a bit of a smile. “It’s fine, I know you meant well” I tell him. “Everything that’s black, has no feeling” I explain. “Don’t you think it will be kind of fun to try and concur the blizzard since there’s a store at the corner of the street” I chuckle. “I want to cook for you” I tell him. “I can’t guarantee that it will be edible but I want to try” I said.

“Well I can find a place for kisses then that you can feel not everything is black handsome.” I say as I smile and lay on his lap. “You are going to have to let me actually find my winter coat before we go out in that even if it is just to the store on the corner. It looks really cold out.” I complained a little as I got up and walked into my room. “You can come in here so we can still talk while I find my coat.” I say as I smile and stand in my doorway. “Well what do you want to make? I would suggest simple if you are a little rusty in the kitchen.”

I chuckled and followed him into his room where I flopped down on his bed…a real bed…
“Hate to say it, but that’s classified information” I said with a grin. “But I promise I won’t put anyone weird in it” I joked, and for the first time it was an actual genuine joke about my past. I just looked at his back while he was looking for his coat. “We need to get you a nice warm layer of fat so you won’t be so cold all the time” I joked.

I giggled when I heard him flop on my bed even with my back turned. I smiled at him and he looked so content. “Oh come on give me a little hint at least.” I whined dramatically a bit as I dug in my closet for my coat. “You better not put weird stuff in it Genosta if you put like worms in it im going to be a little mad.” I crossed my arms still being dramatic and trying so hard not to laugh. “I wouldn’t know what that’s like I have always been pretty thin heck even underweight at times.” I admitted in full seriousness as I avoided eye contact. “Genosta if your comfortable you can stay in here with me tonight I mean its probably been a while since you have slept on an actual bed and its not great but it is better than the couch.”

“Your hint is that if I make it right, it’s going to be amazing” I chuckle and was both relieved and disappointed that he missheard someone for something “Nah, I know I’m a bird, but worms aren’t good at all so I won’t do that to you” I said chuckling. “Well, you should, don’t get me wrong, you look handsome as you are now, but a little more extra of you… I mean, you won’t hear me complain” I chuckle before looking around the room. “I can try, but don’t look at ke weird if halfway through the night, I change back into a bird” I point out.

“Well then I hope you make it right Genosta.” I said smiling as I pulled out my coat and put it on over my hoodie. I needed to turn my heat up it was even cold in the apartment. I heard him chuckle and looked at him a little confused. I had clearly missed something but I had no idea what it was I had missed, “Good because I really didnt want worms for dinner.” I say as I sit beside him and smile as I hold his hand. “Ive just never had the means to do that growing up and there is some other stuff involved.” I mumbled when he talked about me gaining weight and how I was handsome as it was but he wouldn’t mind a little weight on me, I kissed his cheek on the side that wasn’t black and smiled. “Its ok little birdy if that ends up being more comfortable its ok. You can still stay in here with me.”

I smiled as he kissed my other cheek and even though I wasn’t fully able to feel it, I did feel it a little and it made me blush. “Well, you’re perfect the way you are, I just want more of that perfect you” I joked with a wink and a smirk. I then jumped up. “Thanks, but I’m staying with you while we are going out” I said as I grab his arm and drag him out.

I smiled catching his blush it made me happy to see him a little flustered like that. I giggle and cuddle into him. “Well I want more of the perfect you too but Ill survive with what you’ve given me.” I say as I giggle and hold him tight. I whined a little as he jumped up and I sighed as I stood up too. “Ok fine lets go lets go but I was talking about you sleeping in my room tonight.”

I chuckled as I pulled him down the stairs. “I know but if I didn’t, you would’ve found a way to detract me so we didn’t have to go,” I said with a chuckle. “Now, let’s go!” I said and dragged him outside where the wind hit us hard.

Belle, of course, had her own suspicions. She would come home late, He would come home late. Quite the pattern, but if she wanted- if she needed this to work, she couldn’t dig deep into it. Even if it tempted her. Hmm, in the tavern. “You know, you go there quite a lot. Maybe you should just have a nice and relaxing night once. Perhaps in the tub or even hot tub?” She suggested with a shrug of her shoulders. Belle brushed off his tone and laughed slightly,”Some prefer the quiet you know?” She replied, arching her brow as she spoke and leaned over the counter to grab a green apple. Her favorite.
Gaston followed her in and she kept her eyes off of him for the most part until he spoke up. She turned to him and leaned on the counter. “Oh really now?” He could take this sentence either way. Tempting or confused. Belle bit into her apple and continued,”I don’t know. You know how much i love this job. Plus we just finished adding additions to it. Maybe you could come by sometime during the day next week since i do have this weekend off.” She suggested with a shrug of her shoulders. “What would we even do with a whole free month?”
She looked over at her phone which buzzed near him. She walked over and picked it up, looking at the notification and sighed. “Hmm, still nothing found with the case.” She pushed her lips together in concern. Belle had her news alerts on, she had been following it or so called keeping tabs on it.

I chuckle as he called me a smooth flirt. He hud a little behind me so I caught the wind and hugged ne for some warmth. one day I’m buying this guy pocket warmers - I thought as we slowly made our way forward. With the string wind and the slippery snow, it was hard to move forward.
“Well, We need…” I started as we were almost at the store, when my foot slipped so in order to not drag us both down, I held on to Archer for dear life. When I was steady again I started to chuckle. “Looks like we made it in one piece” I joked as I still had my arms around him.

I was not pleased with how cold it was and the wind only made it colder out. Genosta was pretty warm so keeping him close felt really nice. I tried to help catch Genosta but I was worried I would go down with him. The sidewalk was slick. “Yeah lets keep you in one piece.” I say as I hold his hand and walk into the store. “Ok so what do we need and Ill pick up a few extra thing while we are here.” I say as I smile and brush some snow off his mask where it had collected.

Gaston looked indulgently from a scrap of paper to LeFou and then back to the note and so on. Somehow he didn’t feel like believing in the amount of uncertainty his friend had. He was expecting him to feel that way, but not to such an extent. “You’re not taking my advice. I see.” It was not a question, although Gaston tried to make it sound like an inquiry. The timbre of his voice seemed even more demanding and powerful. It was as if LeFou’s reaction had outraged his ego. After all, no one should question Gaston’s suggestion. Even his dearest friend.
The girl was pretty. A little too… jumpy for Gaston’s taste, but LeFou really shouldn’t have been picky. Was she not his friend’s type? Gaston didn’t know, and he honestly didn’t want to think about it that much. It felt weird.
Perhaps it was a matter of shyness. Or maybe LeFou wanted something different from life than Gaston. Which would, of course, be astonishingly unusual, for Gaston’s life was perfect in every way. Everyone wanted to be him, even for one day. For God’s sake, Gaston shouldn’t be thinking about it or try to figure it out!
After all, Gaston didn’t want to understand why. Did he care about his friend’s love life? Of course not. Maybe only when his brain turned to cotton candy after a few glasses of dark beer. Gaston shook his head. He shouldn’t have bothered his mind about that. No, no, and no! He shouldn’t be interested in that at all. Instead, he ought to be their focus, not LeFou, after all.
Perhaps it would be best to just change the subject. Fortunately, Gaston had no difficulty with that. “Belle contacted you?” he asked in a low whisper. The man hasn’t seen her this morning. He didn’t know if she had changed her attitude towards his late return. She can’t find out about his… nocturnal adventures. After all, she didn’t know any of his lovers. He, too, was not stupid and would not leave any traces behind him. He took a sip of coffee. It was far too sweet. Gaston winced (at least, it made his eyebrows and perfect cheekbones seem more accentuated). Belle could only find out anything about his cheating (although Gaston preferred to call it “pleasure nights because his wife did not satisfy him”) from LeFou. And although Gaston trusted his friend, he can never be too careful. Plus, talking about him and not LeFou was much more interesting. “I hope Belle doesn’t know… about my passionate night with Aphro.”
