Hard To Love (Rumbelle)

Set in S1, 2, and 3. Another Rumbelle songfic.

*A Land Without Magic*

I am insensitive, I have a tendency

To pay more attention to the things I need

Sometimes I drink too much, sometimes I test your trust

Sometimes I don’t know why you stay with me

I’m hard to love, hard to love

No, I don’t make it easy

I couldn’t do it if I stood where you stood

You say that you need me

I don’t deserve it but I love that you love me, good

I am a short fuse, I am a wrecking ball

Crashing into your heart like I do

You’re like a Sunday morning, full of grace and full of Jesus

I wish I could be more like you

            It was a beautiful day in the woods by the well, as Belle walked over to Rumple, having found him finally.

            “I remember. I love you,” she told him.

            They hugged.

            “I love you, too,” he replied.

*Broken*

I’m hard to love, hard to love

No, I don’t make it easy

I couldn’t do it if I stood where you stood

I’m hard to love, hard to love

You say that you need me

I don’t deserve it but I love that you love me, good

Love me, good

Girl, you’ve given me a million chances

And I don’t wanna take you for granted

I’m just a man, I’m just a man

            It was a nebulous night in the shop as they stood in front of each other.

            “You lied to me,” she stated.

            “No. I kept my promise. I will not hurt Regina.”

            “No. You toy with words like you do people. I thought you’d changed. You’re still a man that makes wrong choices.”

            “Belle, I’m sorry. I am.”

            He could only watch, as she left the shop.

*Kansas*

I’m hard to love, hard to love

Oh, no, I don’t make it easy

And I couldn’t do it if I stood where you stood

I’m hard to love, hard to love

And you say that you need me

I don’t deserve it but I love that you love me, good

You love me, good

You love me, good

            It was a dismal night in the shop, as they stood in front of each other.

            “What are you saying?” she asked him.

            “Belle, will you marry me?”

            “Yes,” she replied, before kissing him.

            He kissed back.
