A multi-chapter fanfiction. MASTERLIST

Author's Note: Here's chapter 19! So close to the dance. But not yet cause I'm evil. I tried so hard to find a gif of Beast in the bath or in his prince makeup but I couldn't and it annoyed me to no end! As usual tags and questions are OPEN but requests remain CLOSED. I hope you guys all enjoy!

Chapter 19: Preparation

He’d done it. He’d asked you to dance. Had he meant to? No. Was he glad he did? He wasn’t sure. As soon as he’d blurted out the question he’d immediately felt like smacking himself in the head, hoping that you had never actually heard him. He didn’t want to be rejected by someone he’d already pushed away once before. So imagine his shock when you had said yes. At first Adam felt pure joy and he let out the large amount of air with relief. You weren’t rejecting him like you had done before (although this time around he hadn’t done half as many stupid things). Then he realised that he hadn’t danced in almost a decade, could he even more? Not only that, what was he to wear? He wanted to impress you but how? He felt the blood drain from his face and he immediately ran out of the room. He practically sprinted upstairs before pausing at the top of the first flight. He was going to need help to get ready. He didn’t even know if he had any appropriate clothes, let alone know if he could even dance anymore. With that thought he yelled for Lumière who, after a long poignant wait for Adam, came running out from the room that headed into the dining room. Lumière paused looking into the ballroom and quickly Adam coughed. Lumière looked up and sprinted up the stairs before climbing up the banister to try and be at Adam’s eye level.

“Yes, master?” He enquired. Adam looked at him and tried to explain what he’d done but he failed. He could feel a blush spreading across his cheeks.

“I… um… I…” He began whilst Lumière stared at him waiting. He then heard a ruffle from downstairs. Adam immediately looked towards the noise and saw it was you leaving the ballroom, arms full of art supplies. He knew you could barely see anything from behind them all stacked up but in all honesty he didn’t want you to see him after he basically ran out of the ballroom. Adam grabbed Lumière and pulled him into a dark corner of the stairwell as you staggered past them both a large smile on your face. Adam’s eyes followed you and Lumière let out a rather large gasp of realisation.

“Did… Did something happen between you two?” He questioned. Adam simply looked down at his feet, remaining silent. This silence was broken when a large squeal was heard from upstairs. “That was the Madame.”

“FINALLY A DRESS! I CAN MAKE A BEAUTIFUL DRESS!”

“I… may have asked Y/N to dance.” Adam whispered. Lumière’s metal mouth seemed to melt as it dropped. “It’s tonight.” Still Lumière stared, slacked jawed. “She said yes by the way.” Adam looked away from Lumière's shocked face, feeling like a small child who had just done something horrifically wrong.

"Mon ami!!!" Lumière exclaimed. "This is wonderful!"

Adam looked up shocked at Lumière's response.

"My goodness. You must hurry! We must get you prepared along with the ballroom. We must have music and a feast with only the finest food!" Lumière quickly jumped out of Adam's paw and began to run down the stairs before pausing and turning back round to face Adam. "Go mon ami! Begin with a trim, then a bath. We will all be with you shortly. I must inform the others of this new development. For preparation obviously." Adam nods and begins to head up the stairs thinking that perhaps everything would be fine.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He was wrong. So very, very wrong. He was not fine. He was well aware that the curse was coming to an end and he needed this to go well but apparently everyone else felt the need to reinforce this piece of information. They also were reminding him of how to act and Y/F/N was simply just there scrutinising him in silence with a clear facial expression that said 'hurt her again and you suffer more that you already have'. Adam gulped as Mrs Potts tried to drill home how important the evening was.

"This is it!" She said enthusiastically, whilst Adam was doused, by Chapeau, in another bucket of water. "Now or never!"

"The clock is ticking." Cogsworth added unnecessarily.

"There are only four petals left mon ami!" Lumière reminded. "Which means tonight you must tell her how you feel!"

Adam sighed. He knew what this night meant. He knew the staff only meant to help, to put him at ease but it was doing the opposite. He knew that you were probably his, their, last chance yet hearing it out loud from so many people did nothing to squash his fear and anxiety. However, that wasn't the main reason he was nervous. It was you. He couldn't understand you, (some of the time) and what he wanted desperately to be able to do was understand your heart, so he wouldn't have to fret over your response if he told you he loved you. He did love you. He had to admit he always had, since you were both children, but he had to grow into his father’s image and pushed you further away. He refused to do that again. Ever again. That was what scared him. That he loved you and he could admit it to himself but not you. He was terrified of you not feeling the same. He still remembered the time when you both fell in the castle lake, or made a book fort in the library, or played on the library ladders and made and obstacle course. He loved you back then, now he could identify the feeling, but you didn't remember those memories. You only knew him now and he hoped that that was enough.

He shook himself as he stood from the water shaking his sodden coat and grabbing a towel whilst his nerves began to get the best of him.

"She'll never love me." He whispered to himself, loud enough for all to hear.

"Do not be discouraged!" Lumière proclaimed whilst Adam dried himself behind the curtain.

"Look at me!" Adam exclaimed as he stepped out from behind the curtain dressed in a striped robe. "I feel like a fool. She deserves so much more than a... than a beast." He added solemnly.

"You care for her don't you?" Y/F/N asked thought it sounded more like a statement of fact.

"More than anything." He mumbled out as he looked at Y/F/N for the first time in the evening. The paintbrush nodded when he saw the look in Adam's eyes. There was fear and so much longing there. Lumière clearly saw the doubt in Adam's eyes and tried once more to encourage him.

"Well then, woo her with beautiful music and romantic candle light..."

"Yes," Plumette added, "and when the moment is just right..."

"But... how will I know when the time is right?" Adam questioned.

“In my experience,” Cogsworth stated after clearing his throat, “you will feel slightly nauseous.”

Adam unsurprisingly felt even worse than before. Lumière noticed and shot Cogsworth a look, silencing Cogsworth in a heartbeat.

“Don’t worry, mon ami,” Lumière reassured turning back towards Adam. “You will do fine. The problem was before she couldn’t see the real you.”

“No. The problem was that she did.” Mrs Potts said disagreeing. A loud poignant silence fell over the staff and Adam. Adam looked at Mrs Potts wide eyed and he felt his guilt and nerves grow. “For years before the curse,” Mrs Potts went on, “she above all hoped that you’d change and be the boy she remembered and loved but you just continued being cruel, selfish and angry. When she left and the curse was set we hoped against all hope that you would change but you didn’t and now we are running out of time. The truth is the staff, all of us, love you.” Adam almost forgot to breath. “Before we loved you despite of who you were but now we all love you because of who you are.”

Adam felt the corner of his mouth twitch. The staff all nodded and Y/F/N stepped forward.

“Most of all Y/N loves you. She never stopped. So you go out there and tell my daughter how you feel or I swear I’ll make Mrs Potts serve you cold tea for the rest of your life.”

“Whilst in the dark.” Lumière added.

“Covered in dust.” Plumette chimed in.

The staff all waited staring at Adam and Adam for once smiled without having to try too hard. He felt he was ready and nodded as the entire staff began fussing about how he looked. This time though, he felt like his looks wouldn’t matter.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the opposite side of the castle in your room you stood still letting Garderobe primp and pamper you. You were struck by a large case of the nerves ever since you had reached your room. You had dumped your art supplies on your bed which had woken the Madame from her slumber. You had told her about the dance and squealed with utter delight. She had immediately started planning a dress and for once you didn't have a single complaint; so in shock from being asked to dance that you didn't mind what she gave you. You trusted her enough to know that she's never make something that was outside of your comfort zone (which was simple garments). Whilst Garderobe began on the dress you drew a bath and washed yourself clean whilst pondering your feelings for Adam. You admitted to yourself that you felt happy around him and you found that you actively sought out his company and reading in the library with him not there felt slightly empty. If you had your father by your side you would have admitted to him that your feelings for Adam had become deeper than friendship but was it love? You weren't sure yet. Now, however you were about to go and spend an evening with him, having a meal and dancing in the ballroom.

After your bath you stood in front of Garderobe as she made the final touches to your dress. She had banned you from looking in the mirror so for the past 2 hours you had either been blindfolded or had your eyes shut whilst she did your hair, makeup and dress. During those past hours your thoughts had switched constantly between pondering how you felt about Adam and how you looked. You remembered how when you first came to the castle the Madame was slightly appalled by your preference of comfort and practicality over fashion. She'd made many dresses for you in the beginning that you were certain that you'd never be able to walk in but as time went on her designs became more and more you, though she had flat out refused to make trousers citing that ‘a lady does not wear them’. You had told her you were a simple country girl who liked trousers yet to no avail and you were content with your new dresses that had pockets.

"Okay I believe you can look." Garderobe said.

You opened your eyes and gasped. Garderobe had truly outdone herself. You almost didn't recognise your reflection. You were wearing minimal makeup only a slight rouge and lip. Your Y/H/C hair had been swept back into a gold head piece and a gold branch wrapped round your ear. You had a golden chain with a red rose pendant attached hanging around your neck and you could see bright red and gold shoes sticking out from underneath your skirts. The dress, however, your dress, was the greatest part of the ensemble. Words really couldn’t describe how beautiful it was. The skirt was full and floated as if it were like a cloud. It glowed like a halo and every slight movement you made caused the dress to almost shine as it caught the light. You smiled up at Garderobe who stretched out her drawers and somehow a layer of gold dust magically fell from the ceiling adding gold, glittered accents onto the skirts and bodice of the dress. You didn’t question how the gold fell from the ceiling; after living in the castle for so long you had just learnt to accept the bizarre and different. Pleased with her work, Garderobe pushed you gently out of the door into the empty corridor. You felt your nerves take over when you heard the door behind you close. You wrung your hands together and realised that your china hand was smooth and shiny. You looked at it to see that it was bare and for the first time in years lacking in paint. You normally would have wanted to cover it so that no one could see how the china slowly blended into skin but this night, you wanted Adam to see the real you, hand included. So with a deep breath you headed away from your room towards the grand staircase where you hoped that your prince for the night would be waiting.

A China Rose: Chapter 18

A multi-chapter fan fiction. MASTERLIST

Author's Note: I'm so sorry that this took so long. I can only hope that this lives up to your expectations. I have to say I'm proud of this chapter very proud. Things are going somewhere, they're actually speeding forward. Just another note that requests currently are CLOSED. I need to catch up on the ones I've got. Tags and asks are OPEN. Thanks for your support and I once again apologise for the wait.

Chapter 18: An Important Question

It had been a week since you had given Adam the painting and everyone in the castle was relieved. Admittedly, no one knew what had occurred between the two of you. All they did know was that you had finally had a bath, changed your clothes and actually slept in your own bed. After you and Adam had embraced you talked for hours. You told him of your family, what you could remember at least, whilst he told you a bit more about his mother. You couldn't help but feel jealous when he mentioned his childhood friend and being the nosy person that you were you prodded and poked till you were satisfied with the amount of information you had on them. In all honesty the only reason you were satisfied was because you found out they weren't around for the curse, meaning she had forgotten completely about the castle.

"So what is she then?" You asked after hearing the story behind his fear of horses.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, everyone in the castle got transformed somehow into an inanimate object so I just wondered if I've met her? Is she a feather duster, like the other maids?"

Adam seemed to stare at you with a pained expression and his eyes briefly skim over you and landed on your hand. He lingered on it before looking away.

"She's not anything." He sighed.

"What!" You said a little too loud. "I mean, why not?"

"As I got older, we grew further and further apart. It was my fault really. She tried to talk to me as before but I'd push her away thinking I was more important than her due to my status. I was wrong." He looked pained as he spoke. "She left before the curse was set. The last time I saw her she was disassembling a china doll and seeing how it worked. I was teasing her over being unladylike." He smiled at the memory. "She proved my point by insulting me but I deserved it." He was staring at you now, a perplexing look on his face. You couldn't help but stare back but you knew you were pushing the box of innocent questioning so you tried to cover for yourself.

"Well there goes my idea of questioning her for embarrassing stories."

He laughed out loud at your suggestion before simmering down rather rapidly.

"You don't need her for that. I'm sure many staff will gladly tell you stories about me."

You smiled at him in relief, glad that you hadn't seemed too nosey.

"I wonder what she's doing now." You said without realising. He stared at you, almost lovingly.

"Oh I have a pretty good idea." He whispered fondly. He was looking at you as he spoke and his gaze lingered on you for a while. It was then that you suddenly realised how you looked. You yelped rather loudly, (to which he laughed at) and jumped up off the bed, (which made him laugh even more).

"Oh god! What must I look like?" You exclaimed.

"Like someone who hasn't bathed in days nor slept in weeks." He said in between chuckles. It earned him a playful smack on the arm.

"That was not the correct response, Mr Porcupine wannabe!" You jested back. His smile faltered, only for both of you to burst out with laughter once again. You wiped down your dress as best you could, eliminating none of the thousands of wrinkles. You stood there slightly awkwardly before asking sheepishly, "So, I'll see you at dinner today?"

"You will." He answered firmly before giving you a small shove towards the doors of the corridor. You were briefly confused before he gestured to your outfit.

"Oh yeah." You nodded at him before skipping out of the room where you then went and prepared for dinner, (Madame Garderobe was appalled at your appearance but she managed to clean you up along with informing the staff of your return. Somehow).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After both of your self-imposed exiles, your normal routine resumed. A walk around the grounds, reading in the library and then a couple of hours each to yourselves, which normally involved painting or hanging out with staff for you and a nap or walk with Phillipe for Adam. Admittedly the first day after you had both emerged was spent in the library. You had eaten breakfast with the staff, Chip interrogating you over your whereabouts for the last week. You'd been happily answering his questions when you'd heard one of the feather dusters make a snide comment about how awful you'd looked during the week. You had snapped at them, as you knew that these were also the maids who had made rather rude comments about your china hand.

"I apologise for caring about someone more than I care about my appearance. But obviously you don't know what that is like so can you please leave me and Chip to our conversation." The maid immediately flew off with a loud huff and you instantly regretted the action but the lack of sleep had finally caught up to you. You felt guilty until you turned back to Chip to see him grinning from ear to ear.

"Can you do that more often?" He asked. "She always makes fun of my Chip too."

You gave him a wink as an answer before you dived back into the conversation.

You made your way up to the library later than usual after lunch, as you had been distracted by Lumière who was dancing around the kitchen performing a wonderful dance and song number about him being human again; somehow roping in all the staff bar Cogsworth who was sulking in the corner. You had heard shuffling and a loud bang from within the library which caused you to rush in. You were met with Adam on the floor covered in a pile of books. You giggled at the site before you noticed the mess that was surrounding you. Books and papers were thrown over every surface you could see and that included the floor. You looked at the desk to see several plates and dishes with half eaten sandwiches.

“Oh dear God!” You exclaimed, as Adam huffed and pushed himself up from the floor. “Did I, did I make all this mess! Oh I’m so sorry. I’ll clear it up I swear, I just…” Adam raised his paw and you stopped talking, looking down at your feet.

“Hey, it’s fine. You didn’t see all of my room earlier. It wasn’t pretty.” He said soothingly. You looked up and you saw that he was smiling down at you.

“I’ll… um… just start clearing this up.” You mumbled before turning towards the desk and began stacking all of the plates on top of one another. You were about to pick them up when a large arm blocked them from your reach. You looked towards Adam when he picked up the huge stack of crockery.

“I’ll take these down. You get started on the books. You’ve spent more time in here than me. You probably know more about this library than I do.” You give him a large toothy grin. “Go. I’ll be back to help in a few moments to help.” He pushed his way through the door as you turned on your heel to face the desk. You sighed. You really had made a mess.

You and Adam then spent the remainder of the day and the early hours of the morning, clearing up the library. You had figured out a system in which you sorted out the books into the piles and then you directed Adam to which shelf they went on and he’d go and put them where you had instructed. He made few mistakes, which you were impressed by. The only time you stopped working was when Mrs Potts burst into the library at dinner time. You and Adam had jumped a mile in the air, thankfully neither one of you had books in your hand, otherwise they’d have been all over the floor.

“Oh thank goodness!” Mrs Potts exclaimed whilst you and Adam looked at each other confused. “We’d thought you’d gone back into hibernation as neither one of you decided to eat lunch today.” She gave you both the disappointed mother look, whilst you and Adam glanced at each other, looking the very picture of scolded children.

“Sorry Mrs Potts. We were just tidying up my mess.” You said sheepishly.

“We’ll be down in a minute.” Adam promised. You nodded at his statement. Mrs Potts nodded and wheeled herself back out of the library but not before giving both of you a five minute warning for dinner. When both of the doors had stopped swinging you both looked at each other before descending into a large fit of giggles.

Wiping a tear from your eye, you looked up at Adam, “We should probably go so we don’t worry them anymore than we already have.” Adam merely nodded and you headed down to dinner together, laughing all the way down.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You woke up the next morning with a stiff neck. As you opened your eyes you saw that you were covered in a blanket with a book on the floor by your feet in a now pristine library by the fire. You looked over to the clock on the mantelpiece above the fire. It was two in the afternoon. You sat bolt upright and almost screamed when you heard a grumble next to you. You turned to see Adam slowly awaking from his slumber. You jumped of the couch you had apparently both fallen asleep on. Sadly you did it too quickly and got your feet tangled in the blanket (which was also draped over him) and you came crashing to the ground, somehow pulling Adam down off the couch. Thankfully he didn’t land on you but he did manage to fall onto the table, whose leg came out from under it. You both looked at each other with sleep filled eyes and you hastily pushed yourself up onto your feet. You thought back to the previous night (or more accurately that morning), and you remembered that both of you had collapsed onto the couch after finishing the library. You had both been wide awake despite it being almost five in the morning. You had read a collection of poems, waiting for sunrise; which when it came was breath taking as the sun reflected off all of the snow and frost. You weren’t quite sure at which point you’d fallen asleep, whether it was you or him first but what you were most concerned about was how it made you feel. You felt confused as to why you felt warm and fuzzy inside. You realised that you were staring at him, a blush appearing on your cheeks. He was staring too, a large smile on his face, despite being tangled up in a blanket on top of a broken table.

“I’ll fix it I swear!” You exclaimed as Adam began pushing himself up.

“It’s fine.” He said as his arms are outstretched as if to reach out to comfort you. You backed away slowly, a blush still invading your cheeks whilst your arms clap behind your back.

“Um… I’m going to…. Um” You mentally slapped you’d never been this bad at speaking before. Before you thought about anything you found your legs taking you in the direction of the doors. You practically ran to your room, hoping a bath would make you feel better. It didn’t.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day, you had yet to speak to Adam. You’d avoided him. You had taken the broken table away from the library and into the workshop you had found with Chip during the first week of being in the castle. You’d fixed it within an hour but you used it as an excuse to not come to dinner or your usual library reading in the morning. So by the afternoon you presumed Adam would be out with Phillipe. You, therefore, grabbed a canvas from a storage room in the servants’ quarters and decided to paint the ballroom. You sat opposite the glass doors you had put so much effort into, where the sun was streaming in through creating a kaleidoscope of patterns all around the ballroom. Maestro Cadenza had tried to walk around to behind you but you directed him back to the side of the doors. That was how you had ended up singing several folk songs whilst Cadenza played them all with his teeth. You had nearly finished in record time according to your watch which read five in the afternoon. You had made good work in four hours. You were snapped out of your revere by a low voice from behind you.

“It really is beautiful.”

You turned to see Adam smiling down at you.

“The painting or the room itself?” You questioned.

“Both.” He replied. “Both were from your brain so both are beautiful.” You blush deeply before whispering a small thank you. You turn back to your painting whilst Adam just continues to watch

“It’s a shame that it’ll probably never be used for its true purpose.” You say as you add a few more highlights and humming a little song (Cadenza had stopped playing almost an hour before, falling curse to his wife’s affliction; sleep).

“Well why couldn’t it?” Adam asked and you immediately stopped humming to look at him. Was he doing what you thought he was? Adam himself was a little shocked at the word that had spilled out from his mouth.

“Are… Are you asking… but I’m really not that good… I just…” You stuttered out before Adam raised his paw to stop you from talking.

“Would you care to join me for a dance here this evening?” He asked. Your mouth opened and closed by itself. How on earth could you possibly answer that question? You’d never been asked to dance with someone before. Most people, bar Gaston, avoided you in the village, you had no idea what the decorum was, how to even do a waltz. All you knew were small folk dances and that was only from watching other couples doing it. This was probably a bad idea.

“Yes.” You breathed out without even realising.

“I’ll meet you at the staircase at nine then.” Adam said whilst smiling and staring at you. You locked eyes for a while before he seemed to pale, despite his thick fur. With that, he hastily walked (it was rather more like a sprint) out of the ballroom. Moments later you heard a loud booming voice coming from the west side of the castle shouting for Lumière. You felt a blush spread across your face as you looked down at your hands in your lap. You smiled to yourself as you picked up all your supplies and painting. It wasn’t finished but you didn’t care. You had a dance to get ready for.
