Please Don't Go (Rumbelle)

Set in S2-5. Based on the song “Please Don’t Go.”

*Town Line Banishment*

Let’s run away from these lies

Back to yesterday

Safe tonight

I feel the sun creepin’ up like tick tock

I’ll try to keep you in my head but if not

We’ll just keep running from tomorrow

With our lips locked

            It was a beautiful day, as Rumple and Belle stood by the town line, Belle using the dagger to banish him from Storybrooke, Rumple begging her not to. He had used magic after she had made him promise not to. Worse, he had nearly killed Hook by almost crushing his heart. She was the only reason that Hook was still alive.

*Coma*

Yeah, you’ve got me begging, begging

Baby please don’t go

If I wake up tomorrow, will you still be here?

I don’t know, if you feel the way I do

            It was a beautiful day in Storybrooke in the shop in the back, as Belle watched over him. The apprentice had taken the darkness out of his heart and put him in a preservation spell. Now he was in some kind of coma. She didn’t want anything to happen to him, but if he did go, she wanted to be at his side. She didn’t want him to be alone. He didn’t deserve that, and she was determined that he wouldn’t be.

*Lacey*

If you leave I’m going to find you

Baby please don’t go, go, go

Baby please don’t go, go, go

Baby please don’t go, go, go

Baby please don’t, baby please don’t

Baby please don’t run away from my bed

Start another day instead

I feel the sun creepin’ up like tick tock

I’ll try to keep you in my head, but if not

We’ll just keep running from tomorrow

With our lips locked

            After she lost her memories and thought her name was Lacey, she began acting the opposite of herself. It appalled Rumple, but he said nothing for a while. Then he caught her kissing a guy named William, so he told her the truth of who she was and why she only had false memories. He even told her in summary that they were in love, but she rejected him until her real memories were finally restored.

*Heart Attack*

Yeah, you’ve got me begging, begging

Baby please don’t go

If I wake up tomorrow, will you still be here?

I don’t know, if you feel the way I do

If you leave I’m going to find you

Baby please don’t go, go, go

Baby please don’t go, go, go

Baby please don’t go, go, go

Baby please don’t, baby please don’t

            Rumple was in New York inside his son’s apartment, having an argument with him. His name was Bae in their world, but in this world, it was Neal. When he told his father to go and he didn’t, they argued some more. That’s when his father had a heart attack because of too much darkness in his heart, and Neal had to take him to the hospital.

*Danger*

Running from tomorrow

I stay running from tomorrow

I stay running from tomorrow

I stay running from tomorrow

Baby please don’t go

If I wake up tomorrow, will you still be here?

I don’t know, if you feel the way I do

If you leave I’m going to find you

            Belle was in the library, when the elevator started coming down to the floor she was on. She didn’t know who was in the elevator, so she stood in front of it and waited for it to open.

            When it opened, it was Rumple.

            She helped him to a chair, since he didn’t have his cane with him, and he told her that the new Dark One wanted him to find her, as soon as he realized it for himself.

            “Belle, you’re in danger,” he informed her.

            He had been The Dark One for so long, it was as easy as putting a puzzle together, or conjuring magic of his own, to figure out why The Dark One would let him go.

*Courageous*

Let’s run away from these lies

Back to yesterday

Safe tonight

I feel the sun creepin’ up like tick tock

Baby please don’t run away

            Following the events leading up to the Savior being saved from the darkness and the dagger, and excalibur being reunited as one sword, Rumple became The Dark One again, and a sort of anti-hero.
