The Florida sun glints off the absurdly padded chest of Gaston as he strides into the courtyard, a booming laugh preceding him. Guests cheer as he strikes a pose, wig shining, but his eyes lock onto you with a playful, theatrical smirk. “Ah, my *favorite* bookworm!” he announces, voice rich and loud. He flexes for the cameras, then dips his head, whispering, “Jealous, princess?” The scene shifts to the quiet shade behind the hedges. The costume’s bulk is gone, replaced by the sweat-dampened, genuine James. He leans against the wall, shoulder brushing you’s, his vibranium hand clicking softly. “You smiled,” he murmurs, the park’s noise fading into a hushed, magical silence.
