Same Old Brand New Me~

What is something that Adam gets bubbly excited over? Is it a place? An interest he likes to discuss?

i LOVE this question so much thank you

i am legally obligated to ask batb 2017 for the ask game 😌

Otp questions 1, 4, 6, 7, 12, 14

1. Who likes to sit in the other’s lap?

ooooooh my gosh belle likes sitting on adam’s lap and adam LOVES it. he loves it so much he didn’t even realize how much he loved it until the first time she did it. he just loves having her right there. he loves having his arms around her waist or one hand on her waist with the other on her legs. he loves looking up at her just a little bit and she loves feeling safe in his arms and wrapping her arms around his neck and looking at him and leaning down to kiss him and gosh. yeah.

4. How would they describe each other to loved ones who haven’t met their partner yet?

oh my goodness. when belle talks about adam she gets this cute little smirk on her face. like she’s just smiling she doesn’t even realize it. she tells them that he’s brilliant. and goodness, so kind. she jokes that he’ll be particular about the food and the atmosphere and he’ll definitely come across like this is the last place he wants to be but it’s all a facade. he’s so sweet, really. he may never let you know it but oh, he’s got this wonderful heart. it’s buried under 30 layers of pompous opinions and sarcasm so you may not get to see it but no, it’s so worth it once you do. oh and he’s so funny. he said the funniest joke yesterday….

when adam talks about belle he’s got such pride on his face, he practically glows. he tells them she’s the smartest woman you’ll ever meet. she’s incredible, have you seen her plans for the school? or her work on the recent amendments? god, she’s a genius, really. she’s gorgeous out there, isn’t she? she’s an incredible dancer too, you know. stunning. isn’t she wonderful? so thoughtful. i swear, she never thinks of herself, always others, she’s so terribly kind. she’s got this beautiful heart that you just… you can’t ignore it, can you? she just makes everyone’s lives better. where would the world be without her?

6. Who makes a scrapbook of all their memories to give to their partner for a special event? Ex- anniversary, birthday, etc.

(modern au) oh BELLE absolutely. she totally scrapbooks. she has so much fun with it and she loves capturing memories whether it’s trips or holidays or the kids or anything. i don’t know if she’d make them gifts specifically for adam on occasions, because i think adam would be very aware she was making them because she makes them in a very haphazard manner and you can see the trail of stickers and glitter from room to room as she needs to change locations so she has better lighting or so she can “think better.” but she always shows adam first! she sits him on the sofa and they flip through it and adam has his arm around her and kisses her temple looking fondly at this wonderful life of theirs.

7. Where would they go to get away from everyone else and just be alone?

ooooh i love this question. well the master chambers, at the tippy top of the west wing, that’s certainly their little haven. the only other people allowed up there are the kiddos. but besides that, i think they like to go for long walks and/or long horseback rides to the far ends of the estate. they find little lovely spots and they’ll just sit awhile. belle definitely brought snacks and books and sometimes they’ll just sit and read their books silently or they’ll talk and joke and laugh. or sometimes they’ll start dancing and just holding each other and being away from all their responsibilities and everyone, just for a few peaceful moments.

12. If they each went to go buy an outfit for one another, what would they get?

(modern au) HAHA i also love this. i think adam would buy her a REALLY fancy pantsuit with exquisite jewelry and shoes to match because gosh she’d look so hot in that and he wants to SEE IT. he’d also buy her some lovely dresses!!!! belle would be very tempted to get him something SO stupid like overalls or plaid or a polka dot shirt just to see him screaming internally but ultimately i think she’s just buy him a bunch of comfy sweaters because she loves when he wears sweaters and he doesn’t wear them enough.

14. What memories do they share together that will stay with them forever?

oh good GOSH. their first dance, of course. their first kiss and that entire crazy magical completely unreal day. just that whole like, 48 hour period of time. was that even real?? how could they ever forget it.

i think they both hold fondly the first time they laughed together in the library. it was unexpected and timid and they looked at each other stunned like did you also just laugh???? but they also felt a certain peace from it. a first inkling of their souls beginning to tangle together, just a touch.

they remember a night when they were courting after the curse was lifted. laying outside under the stars on a blanket, looking at each other. belle was falling asleep and adam couldn’t take his eyes off her. he couldn’t believe any of this was happening.

they remember their wedding day and how beautiful it was and how neither of them ever stopped smiling.

they remember the day each of their children were born and a thousand million memories watching their children grow up.

they’ll never forget that one really stormy night. worse than they’d seen in years. lightning struck and thunder clapped so loudly against the castle walls they both woke up at the noise. like clockwork all three of the children came running into their room. they clamored onto the bed without a single word or thought and piled under the covers between their parents. their son maurice, just four or five at the time, was entirely on top of adam. the girls nestled in between, belle wrapping an arm around them both. the family huddled together as blankets were bunched up and there wasn’t an inch of room left. adam hugged his shaking son close and looked over to belle. they smiled at each other in the very dim moonlight and kissed their children’s heads, closing their eyes and promising they’d be safe here.
