Every night I lie in bed The brightest colors fill my head A million dreams are keeping me awake

Adam didn’t mind going to large island events. It’s just that he preferred to stay in reading or watching a film. Sure, there were some that he did want to attend and did. Battle of The Bands was one where he was neutral on going or not. He knew he’d have fun if he went but wouldn’t have any regrets if he didn’t. But, he was there and he was with Belle, which made things a lot better. He was apart from her for maybe twenty minutes as he stood in line to grab drinks for them. The beer was over priced, but he should have expected that. “Here,” he said as he found her once again. It would have been said a bit kinder but that’s just not who he was. “Drink it slow because I’m not going in that line again any time soon.”

Belle was trying to let loose a little and have fun at this Battle of the Bands. She knew none of the main events and wasn’t really into most of the music types but she knew it would be a fun time. Adam offering to join her was sweet too; especially since he didn’t do things like this even less than she did.She took the drink from him with a chuckle. “If I drink it slow, I won’t have any proper fun now will I?” She smirked at him before looking away to take a sip of her drink. Disgusting, but it was a festival. She had read enough books to know how this goes. “I’m sure you’ll drink it faster than me anyways.”

Belle didn’t really end up being faced to face with one of the girls Gaston has around him most of the time. They didn’t like her last time she checked and she didn’t really understand why. She never once entertained Gaston and she didn’t plan on it, but she also wasn’t the type to try to force people to like her. She was content for the most part. But it still made interactions awkward and this one in particular was even more awkward since Belle was the one who bumped into the blonde. “I’m terribly sorry,” she said to the girl. “I promise no tea was spilled in this interaction,” she said, holding her mug up.

“ do i look like the kind of man who could give advice ? ” from adam

@bexstly

Belle pondered his question for a moment. She always did when he got into his little fits. “Of course I think you are capable of giving advice. Now the real question is, do I think you are capable of giving good advice...”she trailed off, her tone teasing. “Adam, I’m just joking with you, but in all honesty you need to give yourself a bit more credit. You aren’t just all rage and bad jokes. You’re something special.”

I love them so much.

Adam didn’t really like social gathers of more than ten people. So a rave was not his favorite place to be, which is where he was currently was. With Belle though. So that made it a little better. He at least had someone by his side that he knew. He’d lost her in the crowd for a while though and spent most of the time by the bar, drinking, while he waited for her to come back. He finally spotted her dancing, something he never thought he would witness, and couldn’t help but chuckle a bit. It was definitely a sight to see. After downing his drink and slapping a tip on the bar top for the bartender he pushed his way through the crowd and approached her, tapping her on the shoulder so he wouldn’t startle her too much. “I’ve been waiting for you to come back!’ he yelled over the music 

[belleoftheballl]

Belle loved her friends and she loved love. She had agreed to go to the rave for Fifi and ended up staying after being convinced to take a few shots. It was really rare for her to let her guard down that much. When she had run into Adam she was already tipsy and then after drinking with him a little bit and running off yet again she had found herself dancing with some strangers. She figured she wouldn’t have a night out like this in a while so she just let herself have fun. She had forgotten about going back to the bar until Adam had found her. “Oh! Sorry!” she said with a giggle, not slowing herself down. “Why don’t you just dance with me? I have a feeling you got the best moves here!”

Adam wasn’t quite sure how it happened. He was at Belle’s bookshop, looking for a new title that had just come out and the library hadn’t gotten in yet. He knew he would see her there, not that it was a bad thing. But lately he’d gotten flustered around her. Not flustered enough to ask her for coffee yet. Or tea. He had mentioned she could get whatever she’d like. He was a bit surprised when she said yes. That’s how he ended up across from her in a cafe that seemed over crowded even though there were two other people in there aside from the workers. He’d always acted so crass around her but she had grown on him. Now he had no idea what to say though. He looked down at the large coffee in front of him to avoid eye contact. He knew he wouldn’t avoid conversation though so he looked back up at her. “You know, I’m kind of an asshole,” he blurted out. “I mean. People usually think people like me would drink their coffee black. But I hate black coffee. I don’t really like coffee much at all, to be honest. Not unless it has loads of cream and sugar. I feel like there’s some sort of stereotype about assholes drinking black coffee though.”

[belleoftheballl]

Belle was surprised that Adam wanted to get coffee with her. She didn’t really peg him as coffee drinker, and she certainly didn’t peg him as someone who would go out for coffee with someone like her. She wasn’t even sure if he liked her most of the time; but at the same time she hoped he did. She appreciated his company and he really wasn’t as bad as he thought he was. But she knew he wasn’t perfect. Neither was she. His temper was....something to see. And she had an awful habit of judging too early because of past interactions with people..guys especially. But she knew she needed to be more open to having more male friends. And who better to start with than Adam? At his words she chuckled, bringing her coffee to her lips. “Are you more of a tea person?” she asked, her tone hinting at the fact that she was just teasing him. “I don’t think you’re an asshole. I think you’re a little bitter...like black coffee. But you have a sweetness to you. Y’know...if you add some sugar.”

There’s something sweet and almost kind… I wonder why I didn’t see it there before

[disneyfeverdaily]

Have you really read every one of these books?

Belle was surprised to see Adam at the anniversary picnic. She never really saw him outside of the library and was curious to see how he could be around a group of people like this. She knew it was a little odd to want to study how a person behaved but he was so mysterious....she knew him yet she knew nothing about him at all. And she wanted to know more. So she fixed herself a plate and made her way over to him, nudging his arm with a small grin on her face. “Fancy seeing you outside Adam.”

“It’s been far too long,” Belle called out to her friend once she arrived. “I don’t know how I let the time pass like this. We don’t live that far from each other. And yet....” She shook her head. “I know I get a little carried away with the store but that doesn’t mean we can’t have a smoothie date like adults, right? How’s Roger doing?”

“A new discovery. I’m not sure I like it or not yet,” he teased back with a slight smile on his face. “A recommendation? Sure, I have plenty,” he said. Adam pursed his lips as he thought about what he could recommend. “Do you like children’s books?” he asked. “There’s this one children’s novel I read before. It’s a romance story even.”

Belle raised an eyebrow. “Children’s books? Depends. I mean, they are cute and all. But I don’t read a lot of them.” She wasn’t going to dismiss it though. Some children book authors were brilliant. J.K. Rowling was still being praised for her series. “What is it that you have?”

“I think that way as well,” he said. “And this corner of the world is all mine. I just find it in the good graces of my heart to share with others. A newer habit of mine.” His eyes glanced over the books in the section they were in. “They do. Everyone’s favorite book is old because they’ve read it so many times before.”

“Would you look at that? We can get along,” she teased. She almost rolled his eyes when he mentioned sharing being a new thing but she knew he meant it, so she kept her face neutral. “I have definitely picked up the same books here a lot. But today I think I want a recommendation. Do you have any?”

“For someone who owns a bookshop you sure do frequent the library enough,” Adam said as he peeped through an opening on the bookshelf. He placed the missing book back then peeked around the corner of the shelf to see Belle. “I don’t understand why you’d come here if you have all the books you could want at your fingertips. Unless, of course, there is an older book or something you’re looking for.”

[belleoftheballl]

Belle scoffed, but in a playful way. Adam was right; she did spend a lot of time at the library but she didn’t see it as a bad thing. “I like libraries. There the better corners of the world....” She let her words trail off for a moment as her fingertips danced across book spines. “.....Besides, used books deserve love too. And I do like finding older copies of things here...”

[bexstly]

“Can’t you see I’m busy?” Adam said as he was placing some books back on a shelf. “Is there something I can help you find though? Or perhaps a question I can answer for you?” If a person was going to interrupt him while he worked it might as well be worth while.

[belleoftheballl]

Belle shook her head at him. His grumpy demeanor was something she grew accustomed to. “No, Adam, I was just popping in to say hello. And return a book that I’ve borrowed. Is that alright with you?”

When the other girl shook her head, indicating she wasn’t interested, Clarion went back behind the counter. She began busying herself with tidying up some items behind the counter when she was approached by the girl. “Flashy, styling, and relaxing. Got it. It’s not weird at all! I think I have something that might interest you.” She walked out from behind the counter and gestured for her to follow her. Once she found what she was looking for she picked up the bath bomb and showed it to her. “It looks white on the outside but once it begins dissolving it turns bright red. Kind of like blood! Though that’s a bit of a morbid way of thinking about it.” Clarion offered her a smile as some sort of an apology. “And it smells of roses. I find anything with a light floral scent to be relaxing.”

“Oh my gosh...that sounds perfect. Even more than perfect. Beyond perfect.” She blushed a bit. “is that weird that it’s perfect?” Fifi was going to adore it. It hit all of their needs without being too much. She was sure their boyfriend got them things like this all the time, but Belle wanted to contribute too. “You’re a miracle worker. How long have you worked here? I need you in my life more often...with the gifts. I am dreadful at gift giving”
