Why not though?
- Remember all those stories Grantaire tells about his sexcapades and all the sex he’s getting? Well…
- He lives in a world in which sex is omnipresent. Tv shows, movies, advertisement, conversations… Sex sells, and he can’t escape it.
- And maybe he is getting a lot of sex. A lot of one night stands, physical experiences. Because he heard that if he doesn’t like sex, something must be wrong with him, right? He’s a man, men like sex, that’s all men think about right? He needs to get more to actually want it, right?
- Needless to say all those ideas and social pressure fucked him and his self-esteem up, like he couldn’t find a way to “fix” himself
- Then came les Amis and Enjolras. And for all the compliments and comments Grantaire made about Enjolras’ beauty, it was all from an aesthetic stand point. He’s an artist. He can recognise beauty when it stares at him.
- But Enjolras totally believed Grantaire was sexually attracted to him.
- So when they started dating and making out for the first time, things got a bit heated, as in the kissing and cuddling got intense, and they both pulled away at the same time
- “Listen, there’s something-”
- “-need to tell you-“
- They looked at each other, confused, and lost and awkward. Until Enjolras took a deep breath.
- “I’m not into sex. And I know I should have been upfr-”
- “I don’t like sex either.”
- They looked at each other, burst out laughing, and went back to cuddling and making out
- They’re pretty much acing that dating thing
