My first BatB fic! I wrote this after watching Beauty and the Beast, The Enchanted Chirtsmas. I was looking around the BatB section of the site and noticed that there weren't many, if any, fics with Fife (the piccolo flute) in them, so I decided to post this.
Summary: The castle's new maestro laments over unrequited love and past wrong-doings.
Disclaimer: I do not own Beauty and the Beast or its sequel.
Fife had loved Belle, plain and simple. No because she was beautiful - though that certainly didn't hurt - but because she was kind to him and treated him like an equal.
The flutist had known his love for her could never be returned, for it would ruin any chances of breaking the spell. And besides, Belle would never consider him as anything more than a friend.
After the Master and Belle married, Fife found it easier to cope with his feelings. He would heal. She was happy, and that was what mattered. Still, he was often haunted by the memory of how he had almost destroyed her plans for a Christmas.
And how she had almost died because of it.
Thanks for reading! Maybe it's just me, but I thought Fife seemed to have a crush on Belle, which I found cute and kind of sad.
Also, this may become a series of unrelated oneshots based on The Enchanted Christmas. (In which case I shall change the title/summary, obviously.) But I'm not sure. Anywho, I'm rambling, so... I hope you liked this and please review!
