Chapter 11:

A/N: Hi everyone! I FINALLY had got over my serious case of writer's block. I have been writing a few other stories to try and overcome it. And yes, I am a massive FRIENDSHIP shipper of Enjolras and Marius, so bare with me if I kind of make them really close friends. So, I'm going to update this. With the help of a certain reviewer (I'm sorry, I can't remember the name. I'm just thanking you so much for giving me an idea on how to continue this story) Oh and *SPOILER*: Enjolras agrees to Cosette to confide with Marius because number one, he doesn't want to disappoint Cosette and second, it's my headcanon that if Enjolras were to fall in love, he would either confide his feelings with Marius or Jehan, but I chose Marius, because….well, Marius lives with Enjolras in this story, and…well the news will reach Jehan eventually. I hope that you can review and tell me what you think! Oh and one question, would you guys want Valjean to die in this story or not? I'm just curious….

It was around 2:45 in the afternoon when Valjean heard a knock on their door. So, he stood up and slowly stood up from the parlor and walked to the front door.

It was Enjolras.

"Why, hello, Enjolras. What are you doing here?" Valjean greeted the young man while giving him a warm smile.

"I'm doing fine mons-I mean father. Is Cosette here?" Enjolras asked. Although right after he said this, Enjolras wondered why did he even ask such a stupid question.

"Of course she is. Do you want me to get her down here or do you want me to lead you to her room?" Valjean questioned.

"I wouldn't want to disturb anything that she's doing. So I think I'd like it if you lead me to her room, instead, thank you." Enjolras replied.

Valjean slightly smiled at the revolutionary's response. For the past few days that he was able to observe Enjolras, he noticed that he really showed respect for all other people, he could be formal, and yet still a fun and sweet older brother.

"Alright then. Follow me and I'll lead you to her." Valjean told him, and so with that, they headed to Cosette's room.

Cosette was reading a book bought by her father a few weeks ago when she heard a knock on the door.

" Cosette, Enjolras is here to see you." Her father called out, making her eyes shine brightly with excitement.

"Come in then." She told them, making the doorknob slightly turn revealing her father and brother.

"Why hello, Enj. I didn't know you were coming over." She stated, making Enjolras slightly chuckle.

"Now, I'll be in the parlor if the two of you need anything." Valjean told the two blonds in the room before politely closing the door and leaving.

"I love your step father, Cosette!" Enjolras exclaimed, making Cosette giggle.

"Father is very kind, you can say that alright. And a caring father." She said.

After that, there was a moment of silence.

"So, umm, Enjolras, why have you visited?" Cosette asked, making Enjolras smile nervously.

"Well, you see…I have to talk to you about something." He responded, making Cosette nod curiously.

"Okay, so, tell me." She said in a childlike manner, moving even closer to her brother who was sitting on the edge of the bed.

Enjolras sighed shakily. He had been trying to sort out his words properly since this morning when he woke up. The reason that he was so nervous about talking about this to Cosette is that he just….never talked about it before.

'Umm…I'd like to start this conversation with a question first." Enjolras started, making Cosette nod, signaling him to continue. "H-how does it feel like to be in love?" He asked.

Cosette slightly gasped before replying. "Are you in love, Enj?"

"I, you see..well it's just that…..umm…" Enjolras miserably started, but was cut off by Cosette. "You don't need to answer, Enj. I know you're in love, no matter how many times you deny it. We might have just been reunited with each other for a while, but I can see it in your eyes, Enjolras. Love is love, and you cannot deny that."

But before Enjolras could respond to her, she asked, "Who's the special girl?"

"Eponine." Enjolras replied simply. And by the look on her face, Cosette looked like she was about to explode with happiness!

"Oh my god, Enjolras! You and 'Ponine would be perfect! I can just imagine the two of you holding hands going to the café." She exclaimed.

"Wow, you sure do know a lot about love, Cosette." Enjolras said before chuckling.

"Enj, I might be two years younger than you, but I am way ahead of your age when it comes to love. I mean, do you even read romance novels?" Cosette said, making Enjolras shake his head while blushing.

"See. You can trust me when it comes to love. But you have to promise me you'll do me one favor if you want me to help you." Cosette said.

"What is it?" Enjolras asked while arching an eyebrow.

"You have to tell Marius about your feelings."

"WHAT?! WHY?!"

"Because Marius can help you, too. And I know that Marius is not one to tell secrets, Enj." Cosette told him.

"Fine."

"Yay!"

Hours had passed after Enjolras had arrived at Rue Plumet and right now he was ready to go since they already had dinner.

"Have a nice night, Enjolras!" Cosette said, winking.

"Yes, goodnight, boy." Valjean said this time.

Enjolras simply nodded to signal that he acknowledged them before walking to his home.

"Hello, Enjolras. Where have you been?" Marius asked once he saw Enjolras enter.

"Oh, nothing. I just went to the Rue Plumet. And you?"

"Oh, I had to finish up my assignments so I stayed home."

"I see. Oh and Marius?"

"Yes?"

"Can I confide with you about something? And can you swear on your life that the only person who can know about this is Jehan and no one else, not even 'Ferre?"

"Mm hmm."

"Well, it's just that…I'm in love with Eponine."

"YOU ARE?!" Marius shouted.

"Y-yes. I am. But can you swear on your life that you can only tell Jehan?"

"Oh, alright." Marius sighed, even though what he really wanted to do was to shout to the whole Les Amis that Enjolras was in love.

"Thank you. Are you sure I…."

"Yes, Enjolras. You can trust me. Now let's go have a drink before going to bed, shall we?"

"Alright."

And with that, the two friends went to the kitchen for a quick drink before heading to bed.

A/N: I hope you can review! Oh, and I hope that you guys can keep an eye on two of my new stories coming soon!
