theatre challenge: [1/8 dynamics]
↳ enjolras and grantaire (les mis)
Tag: enjolras
Just some random domestic Enjoltaire headcanons
Haven’t done one of these for a while so let’s give it a go
- Enjolras might seem like the tidy and organised one based on how tidy his living room and kitchen is, but his bedroom is a mess. He’s one of these people who will take clothes off and then they’ll remain there until he just wears them a week later.
- Grantaire on the other hand is notoriously messy in his entire flat except for his bedroom, which is basically empty.
- When they move in together, Enjolras cleans the flat and Grantaire cleans the bedroom. They’re perfectly matched.
- Enjolras says he can cook. Enjolras cannot cook. Enjolras set fire to pasta. Grantaire does not know how enjolras managed to set fire to pasta
- They’re one of these couples who will occasionally just blast show tunes and dance around in their socks. They’ll always say that Grantaire twisted his ankle whilst out jogging, but it was actually during a passionate reinactment of Defying Gravity.
- They have an unwritten rule that when they’ve had a fight, neither can storm out of the apartment. Enjolras usually sulks in the bedroom and Grantaire takes the kitchen, but neither leave until they’ve made up
- Enjolras is one of those people who can wake up ridiculously early during the week, but needs a lie in at the weekend. He often gets up at 5am to do some work before getting up during the week, but then Grantaire has to wake him up with coffee and breakfast in bed at around 11am on a Saturday
- Grantaire on the other hand can stay up till 3am any day of the week, but has to sleep in until at least 9 (he claims that’s early, Enjolras thinks it’s ridiculously late for a weekday).
- This means that Enjolras spends a lot of time sneaking around in the morning trying to work whilst not waking him up. He still insists he broke a toe that time he walked into a cupboard trying to leave the room without turning the light on
- Enjolras begs Grantaire for a cat, and he eventually gives in. For R it’s one of those relationships where he’ll be sitting on the sofa at 2am and the cat will sit next to him just staring, and it freaks R out. He’s all cuddles with Enjolras though
- Enjolras wears contacts generally, and then swaps to glasses when he gets home. This destroys Grantaire because he’s so goddamn attractive in glasses
- Their most common fight is over the central heating. Grantaire is happy for it to be pretty cold in the flat, whereas Enjolras needs it to be at least 30 degrees at all times.
- Enjolras adores cuddles, and often comes in from work and just,,,drapes himself across Grantaire? Or he’ll curl up on his lap or lie with his head on R’s shoulder. Grantaire is super happy to receive these cuddles obvs

unfairly pretty french twink resorts to iced version of his favourite beverage in the heat because without caffeine he would probably implode
the shirt is courtesy of courf, because you know that if he (and later grantaire) didn’t manage enjolras’ wardrobe that boy would wear nothing but charity fundraiser tshirts and his One Red Hoodie.
Enjolras: Grantaire, put that bottle down.
Grantaire: *sets bottle down*
Grantaire:*pulls out curly straw and drains bottle without breaking eye contact*
Enjolras:
Grantaire:
Enjolras: …get the fuck out of my cafe.
Grantaire: Yeah, that’s fair.
okay seriously more than half of grantaire’s intro is actually about his alarmingly massive crush on enjolras, half of whose intro is about how he does not do relationships, so approximately how sorry for the poor man am i going to be feeling by the end of this book? please don’t answer that.
less danger of this than i expected rn tbh cos he’s not shut up for two a half solid pages
# this is such a fucking mood # me at the beginning of the amis section: oh R sweetie ilu let me give you a hug # me two pages into his four page rant: (hitting him with rolled up newspaper) # stop! talking! you! fucking! goblin! # before you read the brick you think e is a dickhead for how he talks to R but afterwards… # like okay e telling him he’s incapable of living breathing and dying is a little harsh # but good fucking grief i honestly cannot blame you buddy (via @little-smartass)
since it’s national coming out day how about some les amis coming out hc
- enjolras came out as trans when he was 16, and though his parents weren’t 100% open minded, as he got older they began to accept him more. as a teen he used to hate them, but now he calls his mom every sunday
- combeferre came out at bi at 16 too, and like enj his parents were a little confused but ultimately accepting
- courf never had a choice to stay in the closet. “the sky is blue, water is wet. i like dudes” his flamboyance outed him a long time coming, but thankfully his parents welcomed him lovingly
- grantaire wanted to come out when he was a teen but his parents, mostly his dad, are not the most accepting. he came out while at college just before he graduated. he doesn’t care that his parents are hateful though. his friends are all the family he needs.
- jehan coming out as nonbinary to their parents was…complicated. they didn’t understand, and really they didn’t try to. jehan has a distant relationship with them, but like grantaire, being themselves with their friends is all they need
- for feuilly growing up in various foster homes, he never had anyone to come out to. and for that reason, he’s always felt independent. he knew he was trans, he knew he was gay, and so he was.
- bahorel came out loud and proud, with a dance routine. he’s dramatic like that.
- bossuet coming out as bi was really successful, but he didn’t come out to his parents until he was 19
- joly’s family was shocked to know he was queer and, like boss, also put it off. he actually didn’t come out until he introduced him as his boyfriend…awkward
- musichetta came out after college via text, not caring about her distant family and not giving a shit.
- eponine also, did not give a shit. she never came out to her parents, because she never talked to them at all. she sort of came out to azelma, but really she raised her and she knew her little sis would always love her
- cosette struggled with her coming out. she knew valjean would always love her and was a gentle soul, but still. he was mysterious. when she told him she liked girls, he wept because of how brave she was. cosette also cried. their family is an emotional mess
- and finally, marius. marius didn’t realize he was bi until well into his 20s, after her started hanging around les amis. so it wasn’t his family he had to come out to— it was them. he sat them all down, announcement style, and told them. there was much applause, many hugs, and a few tears. mostly from marius. he felt so happy to have a family that loved him so much and felt so accepted
