How did they they meet?: at granny’s diner!
Who developed romantic feelings first?: ruby, for sure. she was hearteyes @ belle almost instantly.
Who is their biggest “shipper?”: snow, probably. ruby’s her best friend, and she’s always a sucker for a good love story. but if not her, then maybe granny; she just wants her granddaughter to be happy, and belle seems like someone she’d approve of, as long as she doesn’t hurt ruby.
Who confessed their feelings first?: belle’s always been much more confident in the department.
What was their first official date?: pretty much a makeup girls’ night for the one they missed. it was also an apology from ruby for locking belle up.
How do they feel about double dates/group dates?: they both don’t mind them, but would rather spend time just the two of them.
What do they do in their down time?
What was the first meeting of parents as an official couple like?: the only “parent” to really meet is granny. she probably made sure belle met her crossbow and warned her not to break her granddaughter’s heart (much to ruby’s utter embarrassment), but other than that, it went pretty smoothly.
What was their first fight over and how did they get past it?: technically in canon, when belle tried to get ruby to believe in herself and she ended up chaining her up in the library. belle wasn’t very happy about that after – especially since ruby left to go get herself killed. it took a bit of groveling and romance on ruby’s part, but belle didn’t hold it against her for too long.
Which one is more easily made jealous?: ruby, probably. she trusts belle completely, but she’s also far more insecure in herself. at first, part of her is probably just waiting for the other shoe to drop; for belle to realize that she truly is a monster and she could do much better than her, and leave.
What is their favourite thing to get to eat?: pancakes and iced tea, of course!
Who’s the cuddly one? What their favourite cuddling position?: ruby’s a cuddle monster, though belle can give her a run for her money on most days. they’re particularly fond of spooning, and switch up who’s in which role all the time.
Are they hand holders?: absolutely. all the time. they’re attached by the hand every chance they get. it’s probably even a little annoying.
How long do they wait before sleeping together for the first time? What’s the circumstances?: a while. belle was probably still a virgin, and while ruby had slept around a bit during the curse, red had only ever been with peter. once red came back, she was no longer into casual sex, and probably a bit nervous about sleeping with someone she truly had feelings for as well. i don’t think the circumstances were anything overly special tbh, beyond them both finally feeling ready.
Who tops?: they both switch, but belle tops more often.
Who does the shopping and the cooking?: belle shops, ruby cooks.
Which one is more organized and prone to tidiness?: belle’s far more organized. ruby’s a walking mess-maker tbh.
Who proposes?: ruby!
Do they have joined Bachelor/Bacheloette parties or separate?: joint, i think. belle isn’t closer than ruby to very many people in storybrooke, and they don’t really have burning desire for “one last night of freedom” from each other anyway. they don’t view their marriage as a prison tyvm.
Who is the best man/maid of honour? Any other groomsmen or bridesmaids?: snow is ruby’s maid of honor, and killian is belle’s best men. david is another groomsman, and ashley, emma, and ariel are bridesmaids.
Big Ceremony or Small?: small, only with people they know and love.
Do they have a honeymoon? If so, where?: sort of? the only other place they can go is the enchanted forest, and neither one of them is dying to go back there, so instead they kind of just… hole up in belle’s (now their) apartment and spend all their time being disgustingly cute.
Do they have children? How many?: none for a while, though they contemplate having just one or two later on.
