Gaston clicked his tongue, snapping LeFou out of his thoughts once more, drawing him back to his sad reality. “Of course. Nobody deserves me.” And just like that, LeFou seemed to have done it again-lifted his friend’s dark mood again. A small smile broke out on his round face as he nodded slowly an eagerly-agreeing with every conceited word that flowed from his friend’s mouth. So he hadn’t completely lost his touch after all. The touch he had had since they were kids-the ability to, with only a few simple words, soothe his friend, bring him from the grey, stormy clouds of negativity and back to Earth. “But she…She deserved me the most.” The clouds began to float back into place as his confident friend’s voice seemed to quiver. LeFou’s heart seemed to quiver too-this man, this confident, perfect man could so easily be broken by one woman. A special woman indeed. No one else could do that to him. LeFou did not want to talk about it anymore-for both of their sakes. “She should feel honored to have such a husband.” He muttered almost spitefully.
Their eyes stayed on each other’s for a few seconds too long before once again, Gaston turned to the device in his hand. Something felt different than usual… but he was sure that was on him, not Gaston. Luckily, Gaston had pity on the clumsy, distracted person next to him-his sharp, chisled features softening-and softening LeFou’s heart as well. He grunted, only bringing the cup closer to his chest-almost protectively. LeFou saw this as a merciful second chance.
“Oh, yes, of course!” Gaston exclaimed, with happiness LeFou hadn’t seen in a while. He loved to see Gaston’s perfect lips stretching into such a smile, his blue eyes alight. Though, of course, a bit of jealousy panged within him. “Isn’t that great?” Such perfect teeth… LeFou managed a cheerful grin-though it did not rival Gaston’s. “It is! A pleasant surprise indeed!” His tone did not rival Gaston’e either-but it would be hard to anyways. He did not seem unhappy, at least. Another thing was bothering him now-Gaston and him usually spent their time at the tavern with each other. No matter how LeFou’s week was going-no matter how busy he was with work, no matter how tired he was, his eyes always seemed to light up as he sat across from Gaston-large mug of ale in front of him, looking out the window. To most, it was a very small thing-it would seem like LeFou was making a big deal out of nothing-the hopeless romantic he was. And maybe that was true. But it didn’t change how much this meant to him. Belle seemed to be digging into everything he had of Gaston, it was bad enough she had married him but now she would be joining him at the tavern. Maybe he’d be treated like a third wheel now. Perhaps Gaston and Belle would enjoy their time so much that Belle would join them every time-what was he thinking anyways? Belle was not the kind of person who would like the tavern. Though hopefully, she would enjoy her night, just as Gaston wanted her to. He would make sure of that, he would keep his word. But besides such silly fears…his heart broke once again at the piece of Gaston that was being taken away from him.
He clapped his hands-still jolly as ever, oblivious to LeFou’s heartache. “Well. I’m glad we have everything arranged.” LeFou gave another smile, nodding only. As he watched Gaston’s cup lift into the air, he reached for his own to toast-he didn’t have enough time to process what was happening-or to warn his best friend. The drink-which had been shared by two people now, was put to his lips, the liquid slithering down his throat. He did swallow-though the disgust and realization was visible on his face. This only made LeFou even more embarrassed-although it was more of Gaston’s fault-he had forgotten-probably because of LeFou’s awful mishap. Actually this was only made more embarrassing because of LeFou. If he hadn’t drunk from Gaston’s tea, Gaston would not look so displeased, so repulsed at this moment-as if he had swallowed a bug.
“For heaven’s sake.” The cup shook in his hand-drops threatening to spill. LeFou watched with wide eyes as Gaston got up. LeFou awkwardly tottered after him-unsure if he was doing the right thing. Would this make Gaston angrier? Still he felt the responsibility to follow his friend-to have his back. All eyes were on them-or at least, the angry bull of a man barreling towards the bar, teacup in hand. Perhaps they couldn’t believe their eyes. LeFou reached the bar a few seconds after Gaston-who had already slammed the cup on the counter and beckoned over a very pretty brunette waitress. She looked surprised at the attention, raising a well-groomed eyebrow to him. His eyes widened as Gaston gestured to him-was he trying to explain? With only a gesture? Again, he waddled back to the table with Gaston…what was even going on?
LeFou said nothing-he didn’t even know what to say. The brunette sighed before walking over to the table-a very loud sigh that voiced LeFou’s feelings perfectly. Gaston snorted, demanding water. LeFou turned his attention to the woman-she was very pretty indeed, with a brown fringe. She also wore a badge that said “E”. His eyes grew wide as the woman smiled sarcastically, and commented swiftly-she was not one to follow Gaston’s every order. He almost laughed when she finger-gunned, but kept a straight face for Gaston’s sake. Though she brought the water-despite the fact that she hadn’t gotten the ‘please’ she wanted. As she returned, she was peppered with giggles and questions. Though she didn’t seem like the type to giggle at Gaston.
The water was downed quickly, and the cup again slammed on the table along with a few bills. Before LeFou could choke out a ‘thank you’ and offer to pay, Gaston was reaching for his iconic red coat and storming away. Standing on his tiptoes to grab his own coat, LeFou ran after-as fast as he could, nodding to himself, still not completely understanding.
