Angel! Magical user! Reader. Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold

Fun fact; this is a bit of a AU and it's not going by the storyline of OUAT. Weee :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You were walking along Storybrooke, freezing your ass off. After the curse was broken and all of that madness, you've grown your wings again and got your magic back when Mr. Gold or better known as Rumpelstiltskin, Rumpel for short, brought back magic with Belle.

You had to admit to yourself, you had fallen in love with that imp. And when you say "imp", you mean it in a good way. You stretched your wings from them being sore by staying in one place. You walked into Granny's dinner and sat at the bar. "Did you hear? Rumpelstiltskin and Belle had another falling out and Belle had enough of him,"

One of the dinners said to someone they were with. "Really? Isn't this their 8th falling out?" The second dinner asked back as the first one replied with, "Something like that, but Belle is so done that she wants NOTHING to do with him. Which means Belle is up for takings." You, (Y/n), chuckled softly to yourself. "Belle isn't going to be a easy catch. She's more into brains than looks. There's no wonder Belle fell for Rumpel," you thought to yourself as you got a plate of (f/f(favorite food)).

After eating and paying, you went out and started heading to your job... which was at Mr. Gold's pawn shop. You won't lie, you hated cleaning and watching the store on slow, boring days. Now that you have your wings, it made it ten times worse because you want to fly around and not be bored.

Groaning with frustration, you made it to the pawn shop then you remembered what happened last time when your wings were out. You made a promise, no, a deal, with Rumpel. When someone broke in and tried to cut your wings off, Rumpel saved you after he made a deal where you'll use your magic to hide your wings while he'll protect you if someone tried to do that again.

But when it was somewhat of a shedding season, your feathers fell to the floor, clear as day because the feathers turned visable once they fell. Rumpel made you another deal that you'll put a hair net type of thing on your wings while he made sure that your wings turned smaller in size once in a place.

To be honest, you gave him your life back in the other realm where everyone is from. In fact, you remember your first deal with him. You gave him your life in so many words. You wanted to help him find Belle since he didn't believe Regina who told him she was dead, and you wanted to help find his son, Baelfire who was taken in this realm.

But now, you still stuck with him since you love him and because he promised you that he'll teach you magic. Even after Belle returning years later and Bae being found who seems to be Henry's father and Emma's ex lover. Going out of thought, you opened the door to see that Belle and Rumpel were kissing. "Yaaay the 9th time of them being back together," you thought bitterly as you cleared your throat a bit.

Rumpel and Belle broke apart and looked at you. "(Y/n), nice to see you," Belle spoke as she faced you fully. "Indeed. It is lovely to see you as well, Belle," you spoke, hidding the venom in your voice as you felt the wind behind you pick up due to having the door opened. "Um, dearie, you can start cleaning while Belle and I head out to do something," Rumpel spoke as you sighed, channelling your anger and heartbreak which was your sadness.

"Very well Mr. Gold," you spoke, smiling at the two with your eyes closed. When you entered, they headed out, closing the door... leaving you alone. You grabbed a broom and started cleaning. You held back the tears, the sadness, the pain. You kept cleaning and cleaning until you found something that Rumpel always keep by him.

His dagger.

You were shocked, scared, and mostly angry. You growled lowly and grabbed it and hid it in your backpack. "He won't mind. Besides... I'm not hurting him and I'm not hurting her," you thought as you went back to cleaning. After awhile, you started singing Starring Role.

"You're hard to hug, tough to talk to
And I never fall asleep, when you're in my bed
All you give me is a heartbeat
I've turned into a statue
And it makes me feel depressed
'Cause the only time you open up is when we get undressed"

You twirled while swepping the floor, thinking about the time Rumpel was so drunk one day and went to your place and you guys had a... lovely night that you well always remember.

"You don't love me
Big fucking deal
I'll never tell
You how I feel
You don't love me
Not a big deal
I'll never tell you how I feel"

You thought about to time Rumpel said, "I love you" to you when he was reminded of Bae. He meant that to you when you told him that he'll be reunited with his son. After he said that, he kissed you. You were shocked, but you didn't fight it.

"It almost feels like a joke to play out the part
When you are not the starring role in someone else's heart
You know I'd rather walk alone
Than play a supporting role
If I can't get the starring role"

You have always been helping Rumpel from day one after running away from home. He had taught you a small bit of magic before you were kidnapped. You knew Rumpel wasn't looking for you, no one was looking for you. You met Belle after that happened.

"Sometimes I ignore you so I feel in control
'Cause really, I adore you, and I can't leave you alone
Fed up with the fantasies, they cover what is wrong
Come on, baby, let's just, get drunk, forget we don't get on"

You had ignored Rumpel a few times whenever you were hurt by Rumpel, emotionally, not physically.

"You like my dad
You get on well
I send my best
Regards from hell

It almost feels like a joke to play out the part
When you are not the starring role in someone else's heart
You know I'd rather walk alone
Than play a supporting role
If I can't get the starring role

I never sent for love, I never had a heart to mend
Because before the start began, I always saw the end"

Growing up, you were always hated and never really loved. You had always saw your life as being pushed around and forced to be your family's maid your whole life or that you'll die alone.

"Yeah, I wait for you to open up, to give yourself to me
But nothing's ever gonna give, I'll never set you free
Yeah, I'll never set you free

It almost feels like a joke to play out the part
When you are not the starring role in someone else's heart
You know I'd rather walk alone
Than play a supporting role
If I can't get the starring role

The starring role"

You finished singing after getting done cleaning. Meanwhile, Rumpel and Belle were fighting, Rumpel was trying to reason with her while Belle wasn't having it. "Enough Rumpel! You can't change!" Belle shouted causing Rumpel to stop. "Belle, I--" Rumpel was interrupted by Belle, "No! I'm sorry Rumpel, but it's over. Goodbye." Belle left, walking away, leaving a Rumpelstiltskin by himself, upset that he lost Belle now too. First it was Bae, now it's Belle.

Rumpel sighed. "This is all of my fault. I have tried so hard... now there is no one at the end of this line for me," Rumpel thought to himself before heading back to the pawn shop, hoping he can end all of this pain. When he got at least a few feet away from the door, he heard you singing. He listened closely and realized that he still had you. Someone who has been by his side all these years.

Then he realized something he has been so blind to...

Rumpelstiltskin was in love with you.

Of course. Why else would he feel so warm and fuzzy when he's around you. Sure, he felt that way with Belle, but it had faded away along with the same feelings for Milah all those years ago. Sure, he has been a bit of a dick to her, but he does care for her, more then he cares about himself. He opened the door to see you tearing up. "(Y/n), dear, are you okay?" Rumpel asked, scared as he went to you and held you close.

You looked up at Rumpel, blankly. "Mr. Gold, why are you here and not with Belle?" you asked him after looking down and wiping your eyes. "Belle and I broke up... officially," he replied back causing you to look up. "You're kidding." "I kid you not," Rumpel spoke, releasing you. You felt upset about them breaking up, but happy that Rumpel was single. "But I'll take some time to get over it," Rumpel spoke causing you to stutter a bit, but you did speak, "O-of course. Take all the time to heal. I don't mind."

Rumpel smiled at how understanding you are, you smiled back at Rumpel before going on with your day. You sassed Rumpel a bit, helped him with a bit if magic, you called him by his nickname Mr. Scaly causing him to be annoyed a bit, and you joked away all day, pulling puns here and there.

Rumpel had to admit... you're amazing by being who you are. He wanted to test something. "Dearie, I have a--" "Nope, Screw Your Deals. I ain't making another one," you quickly said making him chuckle. "I was going to tell you that I have a gift for you in the back," Rumpel finished as you followed him. Once in the back he looked everywhere. "Something wrong?" "Yes, I can't find your gift," Rumpel said making you ask, "Was it your dagger?" Rumpel looked at you and asked, "Where is it?" "In my bag. You never know when someone is going to break in and look for it or something," you said, being 90% truthful and 10% lying bitch.

Rumpel sighed before saying, "I'm trusting you with it. It's your gift." you were shocked by his words. Was this Rumpelstiltskin? "You're kidding, right? You never trust anyone with it," you spoke causing him to say, "I mean it. I trust you well enough. Besides, you're too kind to hurt me or treaten me, plus you're so short and cute." Rumpel ruffled your hair causing you to make a poker face.

"Rumpel." "Yes dearie?" Rumpel asked as you looked up at him. "You better not do that again or I'll punch you," you spoke causing him to back up. "Okay, never mind then. But please do take that part as a joke. I do trust you," Rumpel spoke causing you to sigh before speaking, "Very well. I'll protect it with my life."

From that day forward, you have been protecting Rumpelstiltskin's dagger while he healed over time before asking you out. Since then, you both have been happy. Belle had met a nice man named Adam and they're hitting it off quite well. You and Belle remained friends while Rumpel and Belle are friends now while Rumpel and Adam didn't get along all that much in the beginning.

But other than that, life is good.
