The relationship could develop slowly. At first, Gaston might not be fully aware of his feelings for Lefou. He might mistake his new - found closeness as just friendship. But as time passes, he realizes that he has deeper emotions. Lefou, on the other hand, has been in love for a while and is patient. They could start with small gestures like sharing a drink or a meal together more often, and then it could progress to more affectionate touches and declarations of love.
One possible plot could be that Gaston, after being rejected by Belle multiple times, starts to see Lefou in a new light. Lefou, who has always been loyal to Gaston, is initially shocked but then overjoyed when Gaston shows his affection. They might go on adventures together, with Gaston protecting Lefou from the villagers' mockery as their relationship is quite unusual for the time and place.
There could also be a scenario where the kiss is part of a magical or enchanted event. For instance, a spell is cast on them that makes them kiss, and as a result, they start to see each other in a new light. This could lead to a series of comical and heartwarming moments as they navigate their new - found connection while trying to break the spell or just accept their changed relationship.
If Gaston truly loved Belle, he would have to change his ways completely. He'd need to stop being so self - centered and brutish. He might start to appreciate Belle's love for books and learning instead of seeing it as something odd. Maybe he'd even learn to read himself and have deep conversations with her about the stories she loves. But it's hard to imagine him changing that much because his pride and his image in the village are so important to him.
Gaston's 'love story' in 'Beauty and the Beast' is not a typical love story at all. He is a character full of vanity. He is used to getting what he wants, and he decides that Belle is the thing he wants most. However, his pursuit of her is not based on love. He doesn't care about Belle's dreams or feelings. For example, when Belle is reading and he mocks her for it, showing he doesn't respect her interests. His love is more like an obsession with having the most beautiful woman by his side to boost his own ego. And his actions towards the Beast are also driven by this false sense of love and his own pride.
One possibility is that their kiss could lead to a realization of deeper feelings. Maybe they start to question their friendship and realize it has turned into something more romantic. They might face challenges from the society around them in the 'Beauty and the Beast' world as their relationship is not a typical one.
The story would take a whole new turn if Gaston and Belle were in a relationship. Gaston, being the way he is, would likely try to mold Belle into the 'perfect wife' according to his standards at first. But Belle, with her strong will, would resist. This could lead to a lot of conflict between them. On the other hand, if Gaston truly changed for Belle, the village might see a different side of him too. However, the Beast would be left in despair, and the magical elements of the story would be disrupted. The story would no longer be about the Beauty and the Beast's journey of love and self - discovery, but rather about Gaston and Belle's struggle to understand each other and make their relationship work in a very different social context.
One idea could be a 'what if' scenario where Gaston has a change of heart. Maybe he realizes Belle's kindness towards the Beast makes her truly special and he tries to make amends for his past behavior. He could start by helping the villagers understand the Beast better instead of leading them to attack the castle.
One interesting plot might be that Gaston somehow gets transported into the enchanted castle with Belle. He then has to learn to live with the enchanted objects and the Beast. This could lead to humorous situations as Gaston tries to assert his dominance in a place where his usual tactics don't work. At the same time, Belle could see a different side of Gaston as he struggles to adapt, and it could change her perception of him too.
