Beauty and the Bookworm

Chapter 6: Gaston

——————————🥀——————————

Back in the village, most of the villagers were gathered in a local pub, talking, laughing, and drinking. Meanwhile Gaston is sitting in a large armchair, sulking, while twirling his dagger.

"Picture it LeFou. A rustic cabin, my latest kill roasting on the fire, adorable children running around as my love rubs my tired feet." He describes happily. But then his mood turned sour. "But what does (Y/n) say? 'I will never marry you Gaston'. And it's all because of that Beau character."

"You know, there are other girls." LeFou suggests, gesturing over to the three girls who are in love with him, in hopes of cheering his friend up.

"A great hunter doesn't waste his time on rabbits." Gaston said defeated.

🎵LeFou: "Gosh it disturbs some to see you Gaston. Looking so down in the dumps." 🎵

Gaston threw the dagger he was holding across the room, and it landed in the middle of a deer that was painted on the wall.

🎵LeFou: "Every guy here'd love to be you, Gaston, even when taking your lumps."🎵

LeFou told him while massaging Gastons arm, then shoulder, then standing behind him and massaging both his shoulders.

🎵LeFou: "There's no man in town as admired as you. You're everyone's favorite guy."🎵

LeFou had moved on to massaging his ears, before making another man do it.

🎵LeFou: "Everyone's awed and inspired by you, and it's not very hard to see why."🎵

Gaston noticed a stranger massaging him and jerked away, while LeFou sat on the counter and payed a lady to start playing music.

🎵LeFou: "No one's slick as Gaston, no ones quick like Gaston. No one's neck's as incredibly thick as Gaston."🎵

LeFou layer across the table.

🎵LeFou: "For there's no one in town half as manly."🎵

The three ladies stood up and joined in on the praising.

🎵Girls: "Perfect, a pure paragon."🎵

Gaston's ego was now rising at all this praise.

🎵LeFou: "You can ask any Tom, Dick, or Stanley, and they'll tell you who's team they prefer to be on."🎵

He said sitting on another counter and crossing his ankles and gestured to the three men.

🎵LeFou: "Who plays..."🎵

LeFou made a dart throwing motion to get them to join in, eventually they got the hint.

🎵Villagers: "Darts like Gaston?"🎵

🎵LeFou: "Who breaks..."🎵

🎵Villagers: "Hearts like Gaston?"🎵

🎵LeFou: "Who's much more than the sum of his parts like Gaston?"🎵

🎵Gaston: "As a specimen, yes, I'm intimidating."🎵
