It's strangely soothing, Grantaire muses. The sight of his blood falling down and merging with the clear water beneath him. If he cuts deep enough, he can send a long stream that he can see explode on the rocks. He wonders what it's like to fall down there. Whether it's like he once was told; 'falling is just like flying.'
"It just has a more permanent destination." He says to himself and tosses the shard down. He leans against the railing, blood running down his arms, and tilts his head back to look at the stars.
He remembers the last time he stared at the stars he'd been fighting with Enjolras. Over something stupid like missing plans or where all the wine bottles had gone or what Enjy had done to his paint set. He'd run out and lain on the grass, despite the fact it was damp and cold. Enjolras had come and found him, lain down beside him and wrapped an arm round him, telling him over and over that he was sorry and loved him so much. But that was over something that, compared to what had just unfurled, was minor.
The revolution over him. That wasn't love and he was positive it had always been that way. He was just a knight in the chess game, important at the beginning but sacrificed if it was convenient.
Well, this was him being sacrificed. This should make Enjolras smile, his body at the bottom, smashed on the rocks.
"Grantaire!" Skidding sounds and panting. "What are you doing? Oh my god! Your arms."
Grantaire doesn't even turn at the sound of Enjolras. He simply grabs the railing and leans out.
"Grantaire. Please. You can't do this."
"I'm sorry. I will always love you." He says and lets go.
Except he doesn't fall straight away. Someone grabs his wrist holds him there, only his toes on the ledge. He thinks that Enjolras is going to pull him back over but he doesn't. Instead, he jumps over the railing himself and holds Grantaire close.
"You over the revolution. I'd pick you any day. I love you 'Taire."
He kisses him so passionately that Grantaire thinks he can see stars and they fall together.
Well, that was ... fun.
