The smirk grew on Belle's lips as she watched her husband-to-be strip in front of her. Ruby had wanted strippers and Rumple being Rumple, well, he wouldn't have it. But luckily Dr Whales joke about him stripping for her instead gave Ruby an idea.
She practically dragged Dr Whale and daring to grab Rumple, lead them out of Granny's. It wasn't until Ruby came back alone, that Belle, Emma and Snow, got suspicious.
"Ok, open it Red what's going on?", Emma said. "Welp, let's just say our dear Belle's hen night is going to involve strippers that will be golden," Ruby smirked.
Snow White had taken that opportunity to spit out her hot chocolate.
"Oh yeah, you got that thought right Snow."
Belle just shook her head and smiled at her friends antics.
The only thing not keeping Rumple from backing out, was the look on his Belle's face at what he had in store for her. Along with his surprisingly new friends Dr Whale, Jefferson, Archie too, they were going to perform a strip tease for Belle's hen night. Of course, they still had time to enjoy his own, despite how much he'd hope to just have a quiet drink or two, awaiting tomorrow.
It had took them over two hours to complete the dance moves and get them right. Now they were arguing over what to wear. Rumplestiltskin couldn't help but find it humorous that they were arguing over clothes, when they were just going to be taking them all off anyway. Finally, they agreed to their own outfits, with the mid-finale being the golden ties and tight black underwear underneath, with black top hats supplied by Jefferson.
They'd passed around the alcohol, swigging it one by one. Nerves were clearly kicking in. Showtime.
Rumplestiltskin smiled down at his fiance, glad that the strip tease had been a success. He'd been nervous enough that he'd be stripping in front of others, but the alcohol had done its wonders and before he knew it, he was standing in nothing but a gold tie, and tight black underwear, while Belle was holding said tie, kissing him passionately.
He didn't want to, but he had to go celebrate his last night of freedom with the rest of his partners in crime, they had to drag him. The threat of his magic was ignored as they carried him off. They had gotten completely drunk. All of them, himself included. Archie was quite amusing. His ref hair was everywhere and he was bumbling. Dr Whale was smiling into space, his thoughts clearly elsewhere. Jefferson just fell asleep on his hat, until Dr Whale had woken him for his next idea.
Rumplestiltskin made sure to remind himself to turn ALL of them into snails after what had happened after their little drinking spree. They'd dragged him off again, only this time, he'd passed out, only to wake up outside in one persons garden, tied to someones tree. Only one person owned an apple tree and she wouldn't be happy to find him half naked tied to it. Rumplestiltskin groaned. He couldn't use his magic as his brain had gotten itself mixed up with all the alcohol consumption.
Well...maybe the Charmings wouldn't get back to theirs until late. Regina was looking after Henry for once. Maybe he could just take his time to figure out the right spe-
Well..maybe not. The former queen walked up to him like he was an animal with bite. "Lovely to see you too dearie", was the last thing he said, before smirking off to sleep.
