Christmas carol: OUAT stile
Chapter 1
The snow was falling thick outside; it was cold and just plain irritating in Rumple's opinion. It was that time of year again, the time of year he loathed, Christmas.
Yes Rumpelstiltskin hated Christmas, for it was on Christmas that all the things he regretted seemed to happen, and though his life was doing pretty well now, it was on Christmas, that he remembered and always became grouchier than normal. It was on this Christmas eve day our story begins, Rumple was busy working in the shop, when, Henry his grandson/new shop assistant came in bundled up in his hat and scarf and shivering from the snow but with a big grin on his face. "Late are we Henry" Rumple said, not impressed
"sorry grandpa when to get last mint Christmas presents" he said excitedly
"yes well see that it doesn't happen again" he said with a board tone,
Henry noised this "what's the matter, you seem a bit irritated"
Rumple raised an eye brow "that's because I am Henry, Christmas seems to be the excuse for every one tee's days, people can't pay their rent because they seem to think its ok to us all their money on presents, I'm having your charming family stopping me in the model of a cold street to wish me a merry Christmas, now you seem to think its ok to be late for work because of it, and not to mention you probably expected the day of to spend it with your family, am I right" he said hotly
"year you are, I guessing you're not a Christmas fan are you" Henry said carefully
"no, I am not"
"why"
"Henry I don't want to talk about it, now pick up that broom stick and go do your job" Rumple snapped,
Henry walked of sadly and did as he was told.
As the day went on, Rumple became even more irritated, more and more people seemed to disturb him, with and merry Christmas, and a request for him to lower the rent. But what really tuck the biscuit was at lunch time were Henry had gone to Granny's to get something to eat, that Rumple was alone in the shop when the doorbell rang and in walk the dwarf turned human grumpy and the fairy turned nun Nova with a tin can
"hello Mr Gold Merry Christmas" Nova said nervously,
Rumple had sort of made peace with the fairy's, as in he didn't blow them up whenever he came near one, but he was still not very friendly towards them
"what do you want"
Nova seemed to shrink back into her shell, so Grumpy tuck over
"were collecting money for charity, and we were wondering if you want to donate"
"no" Rumple said flatly,
Grumpy frowned "oh come on, it's for a worthy cores, every one ells has donated, Belle has, why not you"
"I am not Belle and I don't see the point, it's not like it's going to make much different in the long run"
"how can you be so cold hearted Rumpelstiltskin" Grumpy shot back
"easy my name is Rumpelstiltskin, now get out"
grumpy frowned again "fine come on Nova let leave this scrooge to his shop" he said as he stormed out, taking Nova with him.
A mint later Henry walked back in,
"what was that about, I just sore Grumpy and Nova storm out, well Grumpy stormed, Nova just followed"
"it was nothing Henry you just get back to work".
The sun had set long ago and Henry was helping Rumple shut up shop, "so I paste grandpa David on my way back from lunch today," Henry started " and he was wondering if you and belle wanted to have Christmas dinner with us at Regina's place sins theirs is a bit small"
Rumple frowned "no" he just said
"why not"
"because that don't really want me there, their only inviting me because I'm your grandpa, plus Christmas is completely pointless any way" he said hotly
"no, it's not and their not we just want you to spend time with us like a family…"
"well I don't Christmas is just a lode of humbug!" he yelled, as he finish he could see tears brimming up in Henrys eyes, Henry sniffed and ran out of the shop.
Half an hour later Belle stormed in "what did you do!" she yelled
Rumple smiled riley "lovely to see you too darling"
"shut up, what is all this about, I just had Henry run into the liberty in tears saying his grandpa hates him and doesn't love him" she snapped
" he's overreacting all I said was Christmas was a waste of time, witch it is" he exclaimed
"can't you see what that did to him, all henry wants is to have a family that get along, and you saying Christmas is a humbug is not helping" she stated
"well it is, Christmas is completely idiotic, along with thoughts who celebrate it"
"no, no it isn't, Christmas is a time to be thankful for what we have and the family we have, and you may have just ruined it for Henry"
"who cares, maybe it'll nock some scents in in to his head, Christmas is a lobe of rubbish, I HATE THE HOLADAY, I HATE CHRISTMAS AND I HATE THE NEXT PESION WHO MENTIONS IT" he yelled
"oh really, Christmas" she stated,
Rumple rowed and through the nearest thing he could reach at the wall.
Everything went silent,
Rumple was breathing hard staring at Belle who had her hand over her mouth, staring at the wall were he'd thrown the objected, he looked back at it, and soar on the floor, the pieces of a white patented tea cup that used to have a chip in the side.
He swallowed, as he realised what he had done, he trend back to Belle, who was now backing up towards the door, with tears running down her face, "belle I…" she shock her head in disbelief and turned towards the door "no.. wait..Belle I'm sorry…please don't…." but she was already gone.
