Gastelle

Gastelle is the het ship between Belle and Gaston from the Beauty and the Beast and Once Upon A Time fandoms.

Beauty and the Beast (1991)
Even though Belle admits that while Gaston is hansom, his rudeness, caring too much about himself, can be a bit brainless at times and a few others things about him, are the main reasons why Belle sees him as the wrong man for her. Since her beauty is the only reason he wants Belle to be his wife, and he believes that the most man and woman in their small village should end up together. When the two cross paths in the village, Belle acts polite to him while Gaston takes Belle's book from her as he asks Belle how she could read a picture-less book, before dropping it in the mud as he tries to get Belle to focus on him. Belle on the other hand wasn't too keen on Gaston's company or how he treated her new book, and after both he and LeFou laughed about the cruel view they have on her father Belle wasn't foaled by Gaston's act of defeating her father. Since he only did so to gain Belle's affections.

Shortly after Maurice left for the fair, while Belle stays behind, Gaston gets his friends to set up a wedding party outside her cottage, so he'll be able to marry Belle short after he gets her to except his proposal. Once Belle allowed Gaston in her cottage, he began to tell Belle his plans for the future he wants Belle to be apart of, with her rubbing his feet after a day of hunting while their future sons play with the dogs. Belle on the other hand didn't want that life and turns Gaston's proposal down, by saying that she doesn't deserve him before getting him out of her home. Enraged by Belle turning him down, he vows to do whatever it takes to make her his wife. Not long after he and his friends left, Belle checked to see if he had indeed left before expressing how she doesn't want to be his little wife.

While Bell was "away" from the village, Gaston was still sore about her turning him down until LeFou helped to life Gaston's spirit back up, before Belle's father came in ranting about a Beast locking his daughter up in a castle. Maurice's ranting and knowing the love Belle has for her crazy old father, gave Gaston the idea that would have him force Belle to except his proposal of marriage. As he pays the willing Monsieur D'Arque, the head of the asylum, to assist him. Because Gaston had ordered LeFou to alert him the moment Belle and Maurice return home, he gets everyone to gather around their cottage as D'Arque comes to send Maurice to the asylum. Unaware that Gaston is the mastermind behind this, Belle asks him to help her save Maurice while he acts as a concerning "friend", but once he informs Belle that he'll sort everything out once she agrees to marry him she turns him without a second thought, in which gets Gaston to order the villagers to lock Maurice up. Because of Gaston's actions, Belle was forced to reveal the Beast's exitance to him and the rest of the village in an attempt to save her father.

Enraged that Belle prefers a hideous monster over him, along with Belle defeating the Beast by calling Gaston the monster, Gaston's jealousy and pride has him declaring Belle to be crazy as her father, before locking the two up so they'll wouldn't be able to warn the Beast of their attack upon his castle. Where Gaston hopes to kill the Beast and that his death would allow him to finally make Belle his. Once Belle escapes she wants her way back to the castle, where she sees Gaston fighting Beast and tries to stop him from hurting Beast. During Gaston's battle with Beast, he taunts the cursed prince on how he's going to make Belle his and that she could never love a monster a like him. In the end, Belle choices the Beast while Gaston had fell to his death, after he stabbed Belle's lover.

Beauty and the Beast (2017 remake)
Like the other live-action remakes of classic Disney films, there are some differences between the original animation and the live-action remake, but the relationship between Belle and Gaston remains the same.

Because Belle kept turning down Gaston's many approvals for marriage, due to his rude behaviour, it makes him more determent to make Belle his wife. Since Belle is the only girl who doesn't try to woo him, like he is used to. Even though Gaston warns Belle what happens to unmarried woman once their father's pass away and how marrying him can save her from becoming a beggar, Belle still refuses him by saying that she's not that simple to hang out with, much to his dismay.
