Belle studies. She really doesn't get as lonely as Beast - and maybe he and Chelise can fall in love if she stays out of their way, and then the curse will break and Belle can ransack the library and go home, that would be fine. She works.

"Are you all right?" Belle murmurs, falling to her knees and laying her hand on his face. "Too much?"

"Yes."
He wants to scoop her up and carry her, but right now his body is not putting up with any such nonsense. So he just hauls himself to his feet and follows her in. Moving hurts. Touching anything hurts. That was quite a spell.
Where's one of those big comfortable beds?

Here's one!
Belle shuffles her feet a little once they've gone into the room, and she's not making eye contact either, though she's still smiling.

"I love you too," he says into her hair. It's the truest thing in the world.
Bed? Bed. Big comfortable bed. Beast is just going to flop down and snuggle into it, loving the cuddly softness of the blankets and the way fresh jolts of pain follow every movement.

Kisses, snuggling, Beast being unclothed. All good things. Nothing alarming there.
And he loves her. He loves her so much. She's a thunderstorm, a rosebush, beautiful and dangerous.

Belle could get very, very used to being loved like this, to sinking into his mindscape and watching-feeling it all rush past her in a waterfall of affection.

He can feel it when she does, and it makes him want to curl up around her and do his best likeness of a purr.

Like so.
