While indeed, Remus Gold was a man of routine, the creature was also an adept pupil when Miss Belle French wanted to shake the schedule up. Usually she kissed him senseless, and he was useless to do anything but agree.
He found he often wanted to agree with this woman. This wonderful creature who seemed to deem him worthy of her; however curious that was.
According to Belle, they'd been seeing each other a month and a half. Or at least, she said, that's when the feelings started on her end. He guarded his secret against her with a smirk, but somehow he thought she knew he'd fallen from the start.
She never commented on it, though, and for the most part, things went on the same as usual. They would eat lunch together, and on certain Saturdays, they'd even spend time outside their shoppes with one another.
Remus Gold was content with this, of course he was, it was something Belle'd given him - her presence. However, he couldn't help wanting more with this amazing creature. And so one day, just as he was about to leave for lunch, Remus took Belle's hand in his, dragging it up his chest until she was wrapped quite around him, and smiled at her.
Belle giggled, leaning against his chest. "What is it?" She asked sweetly. "You're not usually into PDA." she commented. "Not that I mind." she added hurriedly.
"I want you to meet Bae. Properly. As my girlfriend." Remus told her, and her eyes went wide, he could feel it against his chest even as he couldn't see her at that very moment. "What?" she squeaked, and he was thankful that he could tell her excitement was there.
"He deserves to know how great you are for everything, not just a good tea brewer." Remus tried to cajole her, kissing her head. "And I miss you at dinners." he admitted lowly, into her ear.
"Pfft." Belle snorted, her feet going to her toes so that she could press her head into his kiss. "I think it's more you want to show me off." she teased him. "Luckily, I'm very happy to be with you. And Bae's lovely." She said with a smile, kissing his chest through his many layers. "When?" she asked.
"Tomorrow night?" he asked hesitantly. "I can prepare something tonight, but Bae might be curious as to why I didn't tell him before…" he trailed off. "Don't worry, baby. Tomorrow sounds lovely." Belle told him, and damn if his eyes didn't widen at the endearment.
"Well then, I'll see you tomorrow for lunch and dinner, my dear." Remus said, in a pleased little tone.
"Not if I see you first," Belle joked, and pulled him down to snog him again before letting him leave.
