Rating: T+
Author Notes: Modern AU Cosette and Éponine have a girls night in. Written for Tumblr user Atethys.
Cosette showed up in Éponine's dorm room at 8:27 that evening, three minutes early. "Come on in!" Éponine exclaimed excitedly as Cosette stepped in the door and put her bag down on the coffee table. "What'd ya bring?"
"Some fun stuff," she said with a wink, "nail polish, RENT on DVD, some chocolates, and this." She pulled an embarrassingly large bottle of Smirnoff raspberry vodka out of her bag.
"You didn't." Éponine said, grinning.
"Oh, but I did," Cosette replied with a devious smile. Éponine fished two shot glasses out of the back of her cupboard and poured equally ample drinks for the two of them.
"To girls night?" Éponine asked.
"To girls night!" Cosette confirmed as they swallowed their first shots of the night. Cosette's face twitched and shivered a bit at the awful taste and Éponine laughed.
"Don't worry, they'll start to taste better as the night goes on."

After singing every singly line in RENT in unison while running around the room and acting out the scenes, Cosette and Éponine were sufficiently drunk, but showed no signs of stopping the constant flow of alcohol. They were snuggled up on the futon and gossiping like high schoolers again.
"He did not!" Cosette gasped, putting her hand over her mouth.
"He did, I was there! Right in public, where everyone could see!" Eponine affirmed.
"That Grantaire, he has absolutely no shame. You'd think he could keep it in his pants until he gets Enjolras home." Cosette said with a giggle.
"Boys are stupid." Eponine said.
"Amen to that!" Cosette exclaimed, pouring two more shots. "Fuck men!"
"Fuck men!" Agreed her brunette friend, tipping the shot glass back. At this point, Cosette is smashed, and even heavyweight champ Eponine is starting to feel a bit fuzzy. Cosette settled back into her spot in Éponine's arms.
"If it were up to me, I'd never look at one again." Éponine said.
"Agreed," Cosette responded, leaning up to give her friend a kiss on the cheek, then another on her nose.
"Stop that!" Éponine giggled as the blond planted sloppy kisses all over her face.
"Make me, 'Ponine." Cosette taunted, smiling into the skin below her ear.
"You don't know who you're messing with," Responded a wicked Éponine as she flipped herself so she was straddling the other young woman and grinning like an idiot.
