we know how much R teases Enjolras for his chastity and unreachable persona, right? calls him by the names of deities and compares him to marble statues, yes?
so what if one day he accidentally overhears a conversation between Enjolras and Combeferre and he’s only mildly guilty as he listens to Enjolras gush romantically about some mysterious Man who, by the sound of it, is perfection personified, and Enjolras sounds completely gone for this man and looks so terribly heartbroken as he talks about how The Man doesn’t so much as look at him and doesn’t even take him seriously
and Grantaire’s own heart is being torn apart and frankly he feels like passing out, but he’s mostly enraged on behalf of Enjolras, because who the bloody hell is this fool who has been lucky enough to be blessed with his Apollo’s love and is so undeserving of it???
but then Combeferre asks Enjolras in a gentle sympathetic voice why does he think so and why hasn’t he tried speaking to The Man in question before drawing hasty conclusions, and Enjolras just gives this terrible sad smile that tugs painfully at Grantaire’s heart and answers: “How could I? I imagine R thinks love’s a mystery to me.”
1) I love gavroche so much and I’m going to plummet into an abyss when he dies
2) every single interaction between gavroche and enjolras is fucking hilarious…..especially since enjolras clearly has absolutely no idea how to interact with children
3) combeferre is the only sensible one in this while goddamn 1000+ page novel
all of the amis expect the triumvirate apartment to be impeccably organized and spotless and function like a well-oiled machine
in reality courfeyrac can’t tell their clothing apart when he folds the laundry, enjolras always vacuums at the worst possible time, and combeferre can never find a clean pan with a matching lid to make them dinner in
so basically they end up smushed onto the couch eating takeout and wearing each other’s clothes nine times out of ten and it’s like their dirty little secret that being emotionally compatible doesn’t necessarily mean they’re roommate compatible
and they’re just fine with that
conversely, the joly/bossuet/musichetta + grantaire household runs so well that bahorel actually thinks he’s stepped into an alternate universe when he visits
I really fancied drawing @deboracabral‘s version of Enjolras with his pointy ass nose, and I was also gonna draw her version of R too… but my version of R just demanded to come out and be sassy instead.
Oh no look at how pretty he is, I’m crying
Two can play at this game
Grantaire is like ‘oh shit there’s another one’
I see you… and I raise you… Grantaireception
“Can you believe them?”
–…Which one is your Jehan?
–I don’t know… I think they’re the one with bangs? Or I think I’ve seen them wear that T shirt before.
–I think they switched clothes.
–Oh god it’s like the Parent Trap.
“Idk just pick any”
–I think I’m seeing double.
–I don’t know how you’re supposed to see at all in these!!?
–What are you talking about? You’re blinder than I am!
“Both?” “Both is good”
–I think I hear someone coming!! Glitter bomb is armed and ready!!
–Well hurry up! We’re not as light as we think we are!
“I wonder what these sounds are” “I’m sure it’s not a glitter bomb being set”
