"Come on, Prince Charming, we're late!"
huffs Gaston, standing in the doorway and tapping his fingers on the doorframe. They're not really late, but he can't wait to get Belle from the airport.
"Alright, Monsieur Perfect, here we go." Adam comes out of the bathroom with a big smile on his face, unfazed by Gaston's impatience. He's too busy daydreaming about seeing Belle again.
The plane lands on time and Belle rushes to the baggage claim. As she waits for the rondel to begin its slow roll, Belle cranes her neck and paces in front of the windows to the arrivals area. There are so many people, and she nibbles at her bottom lip, wringing her hands with a fluttering heart.
Then her eyes light up and her lips curve into a bright smile.
There they are!
It's only been a week, but it feels like she's been gone for a year. Belle squeals, jumping up and down, waving her hands and snapping her fingers as if they could hear her. The people around her turn their heads, either making faces or smiling understandingly. The girl must have spotted her darling.
Only there are two darlings, and the two men on the other side start the same little dance when Gaston spots her first. Adam playfully pushes him aside to get past him, blows hand kisses and smiles sweetly at Belle. She giggles and responds with a hand kiss of her own.
Gaston shakes his head and plants himself next to Adam, puffing out his chest and nudging his head with a seductive wink. Belle laughs out loud and if the glass between them were not so thick, they could hear each other giggling and cackling like idiots.
The people waiting around the men look just as confused and dumbfounded. But the three of them can't be bothered in the least. Belle gasps, gestures towards the exit and then hurries to get her bag.
Once outside, she runs up to Gaston and Adam, who are standing arm in arm, catching their girl and tucking her between their bodies. Snuggling into the long missed embrace, Belle lifts her face and kisses first Gaston and then Adam.
"Welcome home my love." Adam whispers in her ear.
"We missed you, chèrie!" Gaston pecks her cheek.
"Oh, I missed you too!" Belle sighs with a broad smile.
"It's so good to be home." Belle hands her coat to Adam, who puts it on the coat rack, and Gaston brings her bag into the bedroom.
"Dinner will be ready soon. We can't wait to hear how you and Maurice have been." Adam puts an arm around Belle's shoulder.
"Oh..." she bites her lips, "actually... I was hoping to get in the shower before dinner. You know, travelling and all."
"Sure, just make yourself at home." Gaston laughs loudly at his own joke.
Belle tilts her head, looking up at Adam and then at Gaston.
"Well... uhm... I was hoping... well... I've felt very lonely taking a shower the last few days..."
No further words are needed and before Belle knows what's happening, she's stripped and in the shower - but not alone. Getting her hands back on her men is just what she needs right now and she loves the feel of their hands on her just as much.
"It's so good to be home." She whispers as Adam dries her hair with a towel while Gaston wraps the bathrobe around her.
"You have no idea how much we've missed you." Adam pecks her temple. Belle cups his cheek and reaches for Gaston's hand.
"I could use a little appetiser before dinner."
"At your service, chèrie!" Gaston lifts her hand and plants kisses on her knuckles. "Any special desires?"
Belle smiles, loops her hands in the crook of their arms and giggles delightfully.
" Escort me to the bedroom and I will show you."
