we are the keepers of their destiny Is it any wonder why princes and kings are clowns that caper in their sawdust rings? Gold knew there was no magic in this world, except those few magic objects that were brought back. And Gold had the idea that if he examined the magical objects he might be able to replicate magic in this world, even if it would take effort. If there was anyone capable of that, it would be him, Rumplestiltskin, the Dark One, Adam Gold, the landlord.
So here he was, in his basement, examining the truth potion that his little minion had stolen from Regina, seeing if he could replicate it. Once he got one down, then he would be able to do any of it. Science. That damn scientist would thrive well here, after all he was a doctor at this point. Science had its limits, but if he brought science to magic, then it might work in this world. He might be able to control it.
And then he would still have his truth potion and his luck potion as well even if all else failed. So when he needed luck, he had a bottle of it with him. If he had to have the truth, he had his way to get the truth out, though both were not without risk.
Such as the truth potion which he was looking at under a microscope at this point, if one took the potion, they would be unable to lie, unable to hold anything in (which barred deceit), but those around the drinker would experience the same exact effects until the potion wore off. So there would be truth flying everywhere around the drinker, but only if the drinker was asked or was asking the question.
He looked up from the microscope and dropped a leaf into a heated pot and stirred it. It was clear at the moment, but it was supposed to turn a deep red. When a tint of red appeared, Gold smiled widely, quickly turning back to the microscope and accidentally hitting the bottle full of the red potion shattering on the floor. He cursed and tried to save as much as he could, cutting his finger on some of the glass, and flinching, feeling the potion against the blood. He cursed again sucking on the small wound. The potion had gotten under his skin. Into his bloodstream. Instead of going through his stomach and into the bloodstream. It was amazing he wasn’t dead with how potent it would be. He used his uninjured hand and managed to save just a small amount of the liquid before settling back on his seat and closing his eyes, feeling the potion working its way through his system as he glowed slightly red for just a moment.

It was oddly silent, right now. He should be home, right? He wasn't at the shop, when she passed by, so she only assumed him to be home. She hadn't been able to explore the house, but as she wandered now, she found a door at the end of a hall left ajar. She was being told two things: stay away and go in. If there was anything she learned, and rembered, it was to stay out of places she wasn't told she could go. But, Gold.
"Gooooooooold..... Rumple? Are you home?"

He quickly stood up and pushed his chair into the desk. “Yes, sweet heart, I’m here! But I don’t want you to come in here because I’m practicing magic and I do not want you to know.” Damn it. That damn potion. It made his spout everything.
He quickly ran to the door where he saw Belle and smiled. “While I love seeing your face, I really wish you hadn’t come home right now. It seems I made a mistake and now have been cursed in a way by a potion. It makes me tell the truth, dearie. I wouldn’t be telling you any of this if the potion hadn’t gotten into my system.”

He's doing what. He did what. Her bewildered look changed to a face of amusement. "I'm always catching you when you've been naughty, don't I?"
She hadn't meant it to sound dirty, but as soon as she said it, that's exactly what it sounded like and she blushed darkly. Well, it's not like she was going to leave now. She smirked at him, "well, if you're done down there. Come have some tea with me. Did you have a good day?"
If she had gathered what he said correctly, he had just taken some elixir that forced him to tell the truth. She would play it cool, for the moment, testing the waters with innocent questions.

we are the keepers of their destiny Is it any wonder why princes and kings are clowns that caper in their sawdust rings? Gold grinned at the sound of the word ‘naughty’. He could feel the potion coursing through his blood, clouding his ability to control his mouth. He had really little time to even think before his mouth began running itself off. “Oh not all the time, dearie. I’ve been naughty plenty of times when you didn’t catch me. There have been many times I plot to hurt Regina and several others in town that you don’t even know about, though I promised not to kill anyone, I plan to make them suffer forever.” He couldn’t even flirt back about it, unable to keep the truth from tumbling from his mouth.
And then with her next question, Gold at least appreciated the fact she was starting off slow and not taking advantage of him… at least not right away. “It was alright, though I’ve had better. I have come no closer to finding a cure for my stupidity when it came to erasing your memory of me.” But of course, this potion was going to be the death of him.

She would just ignore that, for now. He was under a potion, no filter. She had to remind herself. He wasn't just saying these things. She never understood the phrase 'honesty is the best policy'. Because there are just sometimes, where things just shouldn't be said. And unfortunately, here they were. His mouth a faucet. Well, she would deal with it calmly. As calmly as one could...
...when they've just been told that the person who mucked up your memories was the last person you would expect. Okay, maybe not last; but she felt that they had come far enough that he didn't need to do such things. And now she couldn't remember ANYTHING of their past, and it hurt. She chewed on her bottom lip. Well, at least he was trying to fix it, right? She took a deep inhale, she couldn't be angry, this was not a good time to be angry about it. She heated up the kettle of tea, brewed it, and set the tea cups on the table, his being a chipped blue and white one. She poured them each a cup before settling down in the chair.
"So. You did this to me, eh? I suppose you had a purpose. You tend to always have a purpose."

we are the keepers of their destiny Is it any wonder why princes and kings are clowns that caper in their sawdust rings? Of course before this, she didn’t know that it was him who erased her memories like that. That screwed up their relationship. Maybe she would understand why he had been so… standoffish in the whole thing, at least until that date in the diner and the storm that happened not long afterwards. But even then, he felt so guilty. And she was asking the right questions, the questions with the answers he wanted to tell her every time he saw her. He was just too much of a coward to tell her these things.
“Yes, I did this to you, but I didn’t mean for it to turn out this way. I thought you were better off without me. I got scared, I kept telling myself it was for your own protection, but it was for mine, because you started to talk about babies and that scared me. I never realized that you were only talking about them because you were pregnant, and even after that, I thought that there was no way you would ever want me near you ever again because of the monster that I am, for what I did to you. In a way, it was escaping, protecting myself from getting hurt when you finally decided to leave me, and that way I wouldn’t leave our child alone, like I did before, because our child would have you. Milah would never have let Bae go if she took him with her, so at least then, Bae would’ve had her.” He was trying to breath, but he couldn’t seem to stop speaking long enough until he was done, feeling slightly light headed.

He really was an idiot. What did he take her for? Leave him? She really needed to work on his self-esteem. She gave herself a nod, then shook her head and sighed.
"Yet, here I am. And I just keep coming back. Funny, I wonder what it is that makes that happen."
Yeah, she was being sarcastic about it, as she gave him a look. She wanted to hear him say it, say what it was that kept her coming back. She wondered, if, even now, he believed her, or if he was just stringing her along. Oh, she knew he loved her, yes; but she had always wanted to know if he knew -- rather believed, that the feeling was returned.
"So, do tell me, Gold, what ever in this world could keep me coming back to you. Even after... all the silly things you've done."

we are the keepers of their destiny Is it any wonder why princes and kings are clowns that caper in their sawdust rings? He followed her like a lost puppy, not wanting to leave her side. Damn potion. It was all… too much. So much talking, so much revealing. His heart was bare and shown to her right now, he couldn’t stop it, he couldn’t stop the words from tumbling from his mouth. And her next question? Oh that was a kicker. He actually was able to pause for a moment, as the potion fished out the truth from the back of his mind, what he thought was truth at the very least.
“I don’t know. I know… that you think you love me. But that is only temporary, as it always has been with me.”

EXCUSE!?
Well, okay, if she wasn't irritated before, now she was. She gave him a hard look, taking a slow calculating sip of her tea. Is that how it still was. He still didn't believe her. Would he ever? Would he ever trust her? She could feel her emotions bubbling up in her chest. Who knew that one would still sting. She expected it in their past, when he was still fresh from pain, well, as fresh as 300 years of coping with it was; but here? Really? She took a deep breath. Be calm, be sensible. He was still learning.
"I don't know where you get that I think that I love you. I will quickly correct that to, I know I love you. If someone didn't love another, would they have....Ahem. Let's put it this way, if I didn't love you - if I didn't want to be with you, I would have ran the first opportunity I got. correct? And you know what happened the first opportunity I got, don't you? It's probably the exact moment the whole pregnant thing happened - in fact, I'm quite sure of it."
She had a very vague flashback of being pressed up against a wall, and very unladylike thoughts clouded her mind.
She decided to pull one out of the hat, "we played a game then, rather, you made me a deal. You told me to pass your test, and you said you would try to believe me. You asked me three questions. I will ask you the first you asked me."
She looked at him with eyes full of rough emotion, "do you trust me?"

we are the keepers of their destiny Is it any wonder why princes and kings are clowns that caper in their sawdust rings? Gold tried terribly hard to prevent the next words from falling from his mouth but he couldn’t. There wasn’t even a pause before the words came tumbling out and he hated himself for them.
“Yes. I do.” But that wasn’t the part he hated, knowing what he was going to say next. “I trust that you believe in us, believe in this, believe in our love. I trust you to tell me the truth, but when that truth becomes I hate you instead of I love you, that is what I fear the most will happen, because it has to happen, it always happens, and it always will because I am a monster and there is nothing that changes that. Just because I trust that you may love me now, doesn’t mean it won’t change in the future.”
It was hard to try to fight this potion, the potency getting into his bloodstream… well, he was lucky he was alive right now. It was just the right amount to make it so he didn’t die but was terribly affected by such a small amount of potion. Well, he had at least that to thank because he was lucky in that respect, but not in the respect of his mouth running off like it had a mind of its own.

He had been hurt, by this Milah, and that angered her.He had been such a kind person, only wanting the best for his family, and she had to go and wreck it by being unfaithful. None of this was his fault; he was only doing what he thought was best. He was giving them their best shot. She closed her eyes and tears fell. She would be his strength. At least he trusted that she believed in this, in them. It would be enough to be her resolve. This poor spinner. The person who she saw everyday, the person who she fell in love with. While the dark one gave him some ... darker sensibilities, which she took advantage of when the mood was right. She fell in love with both the man and the beast. Trusting them. How could she make him see that?
"Rumple I..." her voice was rough with emotion as she looked up at him. "There are very few things that would cause me to become upset with you. But I will never hate you. I give you my word, Give me your truth potion, if you must. But you will believe me, someday, hopefully; that this has never been a rouse, a trick, a plan. I am still here, even with your darkness and power stripped from you... I am still here."

we are the keepers of their destiny Is it any wonder why princes and kings are clowns that caper in their sawdust rings? Her look at him softened, she closed her eyes and began to cry. Now he felt like an asshole. If he didn’t already. He thought he had upset her. That it was his fault she was crying and that she was better off without him. At least she hadn’t asked him a question, or he would be spilling these thoughts out his mouth and he would probably get scolded for even thinking it, even if it were true.
But she promised him that she would never hate him. Even said she would take the truth potion to prove it. And something about that made his heart leap up, as if jumping with joy, pounding away behind his chest. He was seized by a feeling and pushed himself forward, hands on her cheeks, pressing his lips against hers as his cane clattered to the ground.
He pulled away after a moment and smiled at her. This time he was electing to speak, even if it had to be the truth still, because a question wasn’t put to him, and he took a moment before gathering the courage to say what he wanted to say. “After all of this is over, once I restore your memory, I want to marry you, Belle. I love you, so much, I can’t even imagine my life without you.” And he’d been thinking about it for a long time, originally as a way to keep her under control as well as because he loved her. But now he couldn’t think of anything else he would rather do than to be married to Belle French.

He suddenly leaned forward, his cane clattering to the ground and he kissed her.
Now, the action was just the same as it always was, but there was something different about it, and her eyes widened. When he pulled away, she looked at him, with these wide eyes...
And her jaw dropped.
The next words from him, fueled by the potion, drove straight into her heart. He... he wanted to Marry her? Teas sprung to her widened eyes and shaking hands raised to her mouth. He was... well, it wasn't a proposal, not in the traditional sense, but it is what it is. She sniffed, and threw herself forward at him, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissed him deeply. A warmth spread through her as she kissed him this time, and she pulled away after a long moment, "oh, Rumple. I... I would love to marry you."

we are the keepers of their destiny Is it any wonder why princes and kings are clowns that caper in their sawdust rings? He held his lips closed after her kiss had ended, something much less than a smile on his face. There was no question, but the next time he spoke it would come out, the truth and what he was thinking right at this moment, but he didn’t want it to come out. It would, and he had to get it over with now.
“Belle, I don’t want to say what I am about to say, but the potion is making me say it. I really, really do not want to say it, even if it is what I truly think, because… because I don’t want to think it. I don’t want to think that what I am going to say in the truth.”
And then it began spilling out like a baby ‘eating’ food and it dribbling down their chin in all its entirety, nothing left behind. “I wasn’t proposing. I want to marry you, I do, but I won’t. Because then it would tie you down by vows of forever, I do not want to do that to you…. When you choose to leave, I don’t want you to be tied back to me because of obligation. I only want you to be with me because you want to, and not because you vowed forever under marriage.”
