lesmis-imagine:

Listen, I love sweet, awkward Enjolras who has trouble with pda as much as the next fan but please imagine if you will a really, really adorably physical Enjoltaire.

Imagine Enjolras and Grantaire being unable to keep their hands off each other for more than a second or two (“We’re making up for lost time~!” R insists, with his boyfriend cuddled up in his lap). It gets absolutely ridiculous; Enjolras sitting in Grantaire’s lap even though there are plenty of other chairs he could be sitting in (which has absolutely nothing to do with the way R’s hand rubbing his thigh and cupping his hips), intense after-argument makeout sessions that make everyone in the immediate vicinity feel slightly dirty, Enjolras draped across Grantaire’s lap with the artist running his fingers through his hair and ranting to Courf about something then completely loosing his train of thought because ‘Taire tugged on his hair in just the right way and goddamn that felt good. The Amis are all torn between thinking it’s adorable and begging them to just get a room.

One time poor Marius forgot one of his textbooks in the Musain and went back after a particularly argumentative meeting. He was still bright red when he got home and refused to talk about what he saw.

in-only-love-and-liberty:

Grantaire who hasn’t always been allowed to express his emotions, who grew up on a steady stream of ‘men don’t cry’ and ‘don’t be a pussy’ learning to proudly love the amis

Grantaire who didn’t know that a friend could say ‘I love you’, slowly incorporating it into every time he texts his friends, saying it again and again and again, getting a little thrill each time he gets a rely of ’ I love you too’ because he didn’t have people telling him that when he was a kid, after his mother died. That was supposed to be ‘weak’ but he’s not weak for loving others the amis say.

Grantaire who is almost as bad as Enjolras about ranting about how amazing the rest of the amis are, who wants to tell the world he loves them because before he found them any compliments would’ve been met with a ‘what, are you gay?’ When they go toe to toe complimenting each other, its a sight to seen, the loudest form of PDA.

Grantaire who loves to send his friends photos of flowers, or dogs, or just a string of emojis to say ‘im thinking about you’ because he’s had to pretend to not care about people for so long, or face sneers and jokes and exclusion and ridicule.

Grantaie who hates the world but loves other so much, finally in a place where he can express that love.

like don’t get me wrong i love spontaneous and passionate jumping straight into a relationship e/r as much as anyone (that is to say, a hell of a lot) but do u know what gets me even more ????????

slow, tentative boyfriends e/r

e/r who maybe go on a few dates before they’re officially ‘together’

e/r who are nervous to even hold hands at first, who have been friends before they started dating and aren’t strangers to physical contact but this is /new/ and /different/ and maybe enj gets flustered and maybe r blushes a little 

e/r who don’t kiss until the 2nd or 3rd date, but when they do it’s soft and a little shy and maybe their noses bump a lil and they’re both laughing as they pull away

e/r who make the small leap from ‘dating’ to ‘boyfriends’ and it feels so right and neither of them stop smiling for days

e/r who /don’t/ spend every waking second together but it’s the little things that count- the way e will kiss r’s cheek in greeting before getting ready to speak in meetings. the way r will always send e a text asking how his day went. the way they’ll talk on the phone when they can’t manage to see each other

e/r who are low key on the pda but it’s definitely there: it’s there in e’s hand on r’s shoulder, and it’s there when r brushes hair from e’s face. in the way they touch palms in hello and squeeze hands in goodbye

e/r who love each other so much but not straight away. e/r who take time easing into their relationship, navigating and learning about each other, who enjoy spending time together, who make each other happy, who feel so lucky because oh my god my boyfriend is amazing

e/r who are soft and loving and sweet (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧

Victor Hugo (about Enjolras): He did not seem to know that there was on the earth a being called woman.

Victor Hugo (about Grantaire): This fanaticism was neither an idea, nor a dogma, nor an art, nor a science; it was a man: Enjolras. Grantaire admired, loved, and venerated Enjolras.
