Rumbellers! Got a question.
If you could install a nanny cam in the Pink Palace (and possibly also in the pawn shop, library, and let’s throw Granny’s Diner in too), and watch Rumbelle go about their day — just one boring, non-eventful day — what would you hope to witness?
And before any of you say it, I’m looking for answers other than ‘non-stop sex’. I know someone would say it, b/c I know this fandom! I’m looking for the fluff answer… the little moments in a relationship.
This reminds me a bit of that “send your OTP and I’ll tell you which one does the dishes, or mows the lawn” etc.
I think I’d like to see them do the dance of life.
By that I mean they have a routine and they know each other well so they can weave around one another to get breakfast. They know what is needed before the other has to ask.
Or how many times a day do you go “pass me the thingymebob” or “oh what’s the word” or “you know what I mean” and the people that know you best DO know.
Even more than that the shared references. How they’ll both hear something and think of the same thing. How they’ll be able to say just a couple of words and the other will know what they are thinking. Those shared years and memories and comfortable level.
I’d like to see the reality. Like how Belle always leaves her shoes in the bathroom and Rumple jokes she’s trying to kill him as he trips over them. How they have thermostat wars because Rumple likes it set at what Belle calls freezing. How Belle has book club nights and girls nights and Rumple has a card game and chess so they don’t always eat together. There’s dinners in the freezer and the microwave for when they get in.
You know just life 🙂
