Belle being sassy, irreverent, playful and affectionate toward the Dark One in front of other people (Maurice, his Council, other royals, etc) - So we often read many fics in which Bell is comfortable, mischievous and very demonstrative towards Rumpelstiltskin when they are alone. Can we have a fic with other people seeing this adorable dynamic between them and being quite astounded that the DO not only lets her get away with it, but he's also fun, gentle and an all-around puppy with her?
