Your New Life(Rumple)

[Deleted]

Thomas/Sean Herman

Sean yawned as he woke up only to realize he wasn't in his house anymore and he was wearing a butler's outfit. He had remembered going to sleep in his own house. He paused looking at the time. He'd overslept. Rumplestiltskin must have pulled him here. He saw a note on the table.

"I do not accept tardiness but since this is you first day I will just give you a warning. Next time will be the last time you'll be late. I'll see to that. You are now my butler Sean and will serve me bringing me food or doing my errands, and helping clean my house. You won't be paid of course since you'e already rich so what would you want with more money. Get used to your new life boy. I expect you to be begin work immediately after reading this. And don't blame me for your mistake. You're the one who attacked me. You're lucky you're still breathing. Remember that and I'll see you soon."

Next to it was another sheet of paper with a chore list as he groaned seeing how long it was but he had no choice. It wasn't signed but Sean knew it was from Rumple. He shivered at the thought realizing he was at Rumplestiltskin's mercy. If he wanted to he could have killed him by squeezing his heart or the other million different ways he could have done with his magic. He instead made him his slave forcing him to suffer. He stood up leaving the note there not having any use for it. He spotted a feather duster and a broom by the door and sighed. He'd told Ashley yesterday and she hadn't been happy about it. Sean apologized to her and ended up sleeping on the couch last night to give her some space to process it. He hoped he hadn't lost her because of his anger. He pocketed the list of chores and sighed. He got up and walked to the door picking up the feather duster and broom as he walked out of the room and began to clean up the house.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

Gold, had finsihed up some paper work as he came out of the room he was in cane in hand he saw Sean "I am glade to see, you got my message... as well my meaning test me & you will learn a very hard... leason" Gold smiled a moment before he spoke on "And until I say other wise, my meals to be served as noted on your list. Any questions?" He might let Sean go home at night for he really did not need him here, unless he wished to make his life hell somthing he would do unless he saw reason not to, but for now he would enjoy watching him feel the pain of being parted form his loved ones, his last words where not said so much a question, more a challenge to see if he would ask anything. Few would, some that had well it had been there last & yet one, well had changed everything & how easly he found his thoughts going to his wife, he thought with Sean it would keep his mind else where yet it was of not help, but he felt pain for the parting so Sean would as well.

Sean nearly jumped seeing Mr. Gold come in. He tried to hide his fear but he was a bad liar. He was sure Mr. Gold could probably sense his fear anyway. He glanced at the list seeing the times for the meals and made sure to remember that. He turned to face Rumple and nodded to him.

"I understand Mr. Gold. Is there any particular order you want me to do these chores in?" asked Sean.

He hadn't mentioned that in the letter or the list and knowing Mr. Gold he wanted to make sure he followed his orders exactly not wanting to get on his bad side. Well he supposed he already was on his bad side since Mr. Gold had taken his heart. He just didn't want to make him any angrier. He hoped this was just a day job or something. He hated being apart from Ashley and Alexandra for very long and he hoped he'd be allowed to go back and be with them even if it was just for a few hours.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

Gold heard Seans words, his question of course he had no order for him on the list for now, he was more to see how Sean would handle it. "Not at the time, if it should change I will let you know" He of course had other things to do, so he would leave Sean to his own devices "I will leave you to it & will cheek on your progress later on" He would be sure, to do that how ever it would come after he got some things done. With that he moved to leave, unless Sean said somthing he would go back to get things done.

Sean was annoyed and humiliated to be wearing this outfit. This outfit was uncomfortable as he wasn't used to wearing this. But he had gotten used to wearing uncomfortable clothes being a prince. Well he used to be a prince. He supposed he was just the son of a rich businessman here. Of course he wasn't going to say anything knowing he didn't have a choice anyway. He supposed he should be lucky Mr. Gold let him go home yesterday and hopefully would let him go see Ashley and Alexandra again.

"I understand." said Sean.

He nodded as Mr. Gold said he would check on his progress later. Sean nodded and got to it. He had watched his servants in both worlds do chores before so hopefully he could do this. It would just take some practice. He watched as Mr. Gold walked away letting out a sigh of relief as he headed to the living room deciing to wash the windows first as he got some cleaner and began cleaning the windows. He'd go room by room he figured would be simpler. He just hoped Mr. Gold wasn't expecting speed since he hadn't done this before.

(ooc: perhaps we could do a time skip. Don't want to end this thread too soon.)

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

Gold went back to what he was doing, his mood was not improving he knew with out Belle around close, well he was like a geg of power ready to go off with out notice, howeven he thought that keeping his mind on work would help but it was not helping alote. Final after some time he finished with the work he had, before he turned to finish up some other things & once done could go cheek on Sean to see how he was doing.

Sean had cleaned a few of the rooms dusting, vacuuming, cleaning the windows. It had taken longer than he thought as he wasn't really used to using some of this stuff. He kept going into another room the kitchen. Knowing he would have to cook for Mr. Gold soon enough and felt the kitchen should be clean before he started cooking. He heard footsteps and couldn't help but flinch. Ever since Mr. Gold had taken his heart he'd been rather jumpy of the man. He felt like a coward but the fear of losing his family or being separated from them was just as strong. He couldn't leave Alexandra without a father or Ashley without a fiance. He was going to marry her and now he began to wonder if he'd ever see her again. He focused back on his tasks as he began cleaning it hoping Mr. Gold would was in a good mood.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

Gold smiled with seeing Sean's actions "I am impressed a Prince that knows how to clean something I am sure you think was below you, something more suited for your servants or those of lower class was it not?" He knew the lime life those of title had & those that had to suffer because of it, manly it was those of his statues of peasant & lower class, something ha had not forgotten in his years. He approached Sean as he watched him as he waited for his answer to his words that is if he would answer them or not.

Sean tried to hide his fear as Mr. Gold walked in. Although he knew it was pointless. It wouldnt' do him any good to cause trouble or he'd be dead. He just nodded knowing he was right. He'd worked in the canteen briefly during the curse after he'd reunited with Ashley and Alexandra but when the curse broke he longer had to. But that had been the first time he'd really worked for something. And he had to admit he had quit his job to spend time with his family but he had sort of missed it. He hadn't expected to be Rumplestiltskin's servant and yet he sort of felt a sense of accomplishment that he was doing something. He wished he was cleaning his own house though instead of here.

"You're right. I took my servants in our old land and here for granted. But I won't anymore." said Sean.

He was doing the dishes and was nearly finished grabbing a chipped tea cup as he began cleaning it. He put it into the tray only he missed as he it flew to the ground. He expected a crash only to see the cup appear in Rumplestiltskins' hands and he didn't look that happy. Then his chest began to squeeze as he realized Rumplestiltskin ahd replaced the cup which was no won the counter with his heart as he gasped for air. What was so special about that one cup?

"I'm sorry. I'll be more careful." wheezed Sean.

(ooc: Rumple may be on the outs with belle but the chipped cup is still important to him so Sean's in trouble. xd)

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

Rumple was glade he came in when he did, if just for the fact Sean dropped the chipped cup of all things the very chipped cup that Belle had chipped that became there cup. He used his magic to stop the cup form shattering on the gound & also to his hand, before his anger took even more over at Seans actions & he could not hold back as he gripped Seans heart some, at his words he was not so convenced "This cup is not for you to clean & should it get broke, I will make you wish for death are we clear?" His tone held no sign of any sway that he would back down or away form keeping his words on threat of action.

Sean paused nodded to Rumple barely able to breathe as he listened to him.

"I'm sorry. It was an accident. I won't touch that cup again." wheezed Sean.

He knew Rumple could kill him right now if he wanted. Only person who knew he was here was Ashley as he'd been too embarrassed to tell his father. So if Rumple killed him he could make his body disappear and it'd be Ashley's word against his. Without proof he knew Emma and the others couldn't do anything to stop Rumplestiltskin. He had to stay on the man's good side if he expected to stay alive.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

Gold heard Seans words "Lets how you do just that, I would hate to tell you again" With that he let go of Sean "Now back to work before I change my mind" With that Gold moved to leave, taking the cup with him to put up he likly would of killed the man, but the idea of Belle not likling it was the only thing that saved the man. Now it was time to put the cup in the right place & go from there if it would be going to cheek on Sean or back to work.

Sean nodded to Gold as he walked away with the cup probably to put it away. Sean mentally cursed himself deciding to ask Mr. Gold next chance he got if there was anything he else he wasn't supposed to touch to avoid his wrath. With the dishes and the kitchen clean he began making breakfast as there was instructions for what he liked for breakfast. He knew with Mr. Gold's magic he could easily create it himself with magic or buy food with his money. This was just to add to his torment no doubt. But Sean began following the instructions not wanting to set Mr. Gold off again as he began cooking the food quiet well. He made extra for himself. After all he had to eat if he was supposed to continue cleaning the rest of the house.

[Rumpelstiltskin/Mr. Gold]

Gold did take & put the cut up away form where it could be dammaged, not that magic could not fix it, but that was not the point he had been close to killing Sean & if he was not out to prove to the boy that he was not so high up as he would think himself he likly would of, even if Belle would be upset with him once she knew, correction he knew she would be very upset with him. He took a moment to cool down, before he looked at the time & headed for the dinning room, he knew Sean would be nothing like Belle, besides Sean being male he did not even give off the same oray about him as Belle had when she came to stay with him or even now, Belle in his mind was in a field & class all her own.

Sean sighed glad he was left alone as he had finished lunch. It had taken him awhile but now he was done. He wasn't sure if Gold was going to come back to eat or if he wanted him to bring it to him. He looked up hearing footsteps realizing Mr. Gold was returning. He served them both up as well as getting them drinks taking water for himself not wanting to upset Mr. Gold.

"Your lunch is ready. Are you eating anywhere in particular or just the table today?" asked Sean.

He had no idea about Rumple's habits or moods. And he knew he had a lot to learn and wanted to start there. Eventually he hoped he could anticipate what Rumple would want to keep him happy. But that would probably take awhile.
