Beauty and the Beast

Chapter 5

The silence from the opposite side of the castle by a door creaking up as Y/n silently walked through and down the hall. As she walked by a curtain two voices came from it but she continued on anyway. Behind the curtain was Compress and Featherduster.

"Oh, no!"

"Oh, yes!"

"Oh, no!" Featherduster giggled as Compress followed after her and they ran under the curtain.

"Oh, yes, yes, yes!"

"I've been burnt by you before!" Featherduster exclaimed and Compress dipped her down, and he chuckled with mischief. Compress leaned in to kiss her but he looked up and dropped Featherduster onto the floor as he saw Y/n walking down the hall quietly.

"Zut alors! She has emerged!" Compress gasped.

In the kitchen, Dabi and Toga stood on a countertop in front of a cabinet full of teacups.

"Come on, crazy. Into the cupboard." Dabi grumbled and helped her hop into it.

"But I'm not sleepy!" Toga whined, but yawned when she finished saying it.

"Yes, you are."

"No, I'm-" Toga said but her eyelids dropped and she was out. "...not."

The banging of pots and pans caught Dabi's attention as he closed the cupboard.

"I work and I slave all day, and for what?" The stove asked and opened one of the pans that had food inside of it. "A culinary masterpiece gone to waste."

"Oh, stop your grousing. It's been a long night for all of us." Dabi agured.

"Well, if you ask me, she was just being stubborn." Kurogiri said and threw a napkin into a drawer. "After all, he did say 'please'."

"But if the master doesn't learn to control that temper, he'll never break the-"

"Splendid to see you out and about, mademoiselle." Kurogiri interrupted when he noticed Y/n open the kitchen door and behind her Compress came running in. "I am Kurogiri, head of the household." Kurogiri went to kiss her hand but Compress butted in front of him. "This is Compress."

"Enchante, chérie." Compress greeted and kissed Y/n's hand for a very long time.

"If there's...stop that...anything that we...please." Kurogiri said while trying to push the candlestick out of his way. Finally he shows him out of the way and Compress starts to put his candle on his hand. "Can do to make your stay more comfortable. Ow!!!!"

"I am a little hungry." Y/n sheepishly admitted.

"You are? Hear that?" Dabi called and started to wake everyone up. "She's hungry. Stoke the fire, break out the silver, wake the china."

The fire on the stove roars to life, the drawers open to reveal silverware standing up.

"Remember what the master said." Kurogiri whispered to Dabi, who rolled his eyes.

"Oh, pish tosh. I'm not going to let the poor child go hungry."

"Oh, all right. Glass of water, crust of bread, and then-" Kurogiri gave in.

"Kurogiri, I am surprised at you. She's not our prisoner. She's our guest! We must make her feel welcome here." Compress interrupted and turned to Y/n. "Right this way, mademoiselle."

"Well keep it down. If the master finds out about this, it will be our necks!" Kurogiri exclaimed and raced after Y/n and Compress, who were going to the long dining room table.
