~So here's a short Lumiere and Cogsworth fic, pre-spellbreak~

Cogsworth could feel the tick tock in the place where his heartbeat used to be drum loudly against his wooden chest and face as he watched his waxy friend. He tried not to stare and looked away whenever Lumiere gave him a glance. He felt a blush tint his wooden cheeks at just the thought of his luminescent friend. It had grown hard to hide his growing feelings and could barely do so anymore, causing poor Cogsworth to be nervous and red-faced, tick tocking all the way.
"Somezhing you need, mon ami?" Lumiere said from behind Cogsworth. Cogsworth stiffened right then and there and turned to the frenchman, his face a dark shade of pink, almost red. "Umm... m-maybe..." Dammit, why did he say that? Cogsworth was never the best with words, especially face to face with the one he had what he told himself to be a small crush, but was much more. A smirk spread across Lumiere's pale, waxy face. "Is zhat right? Well what is it?" he said, leaning his "elbow" on the table. Lumiere was lucky he could still bend over. "Nothing, i'm just...uh... h-hungry." Lumiere smirked wider. "Of course you are." he said, patting Cogsworth's glass section where his belly used to be. Good thing Lumiere was too naive to realize they didn't need food. Cogsworth sighed and pretended to eat, but threw away the food when Lumiere wasn't looking. "Well zhat was fast!" Cogsworth rolled his eyes and tried to ignore Lumiere's fat jokes. "Lumiere..." he said, his pendulum swinging violently and his ticking speeding up. "I...I..." Then, before he could finish his sentence, Lumiere was swept away by Babette. "Dirty slut." Cogsworth growled under his breath. He hated Babette for having what he wanted and couldn't have, but Lumiere was happy and he couldn't be selfish.
It was time to create the most romantic atmosphere for Belle and the Master. Cogsworth had ordered all the castle servants for a meeting. As he stood on Sultan, he barked out orders and everyone listened to certain things. He told everyone he had assigned pairs to work in. Mrs. Potts was paired with her son, Chip. Madame de la Grande Bouche was paired with Babette, forcing Lumiere and himself to be together. Cogsworth told Lumiere his directions and got to work. It seemed like hours before they could get done, but at the strike of 12, signaled by Cogsworth, they were done. Lumiere looked to be dripping wax from working hard. "Four hours tires you out, oui?" Cogsworth simply nodded. "Umm... Lumiere... I..." Then he was interrupted again, but in a /very good/ way. He could feel Lumiere's warm lips pressed against his. "I know you want me~" Lumiere said seductively. "What!?" Cogsworth tried to protest. "B-but..! ...How did you know?" Lumiere smirked a the question and tickled under Cogsworth's chin. He walked to the doorway, but before he left he turned around and said his words. "I read your diary." he said simply with a smirk. Then he left the room to leave Cogsworth to his tick tick tocking all the night long.
