:Cosette:
(a/n: This is for all you people who like Marius/Cosette. Although it was painful to write…this if for you. Some light fluff, nothing too deep or meaningful. Enjoy)
Cosette was standing in her old dining room, gazing at the gorgeous candelabra by the fireplace when Marius walked quietly in and stood behind her.
"I sent a letter." She said without turning to face him. He slowly put his arms around her waist and hugged her tightly.
"I sent one as well." Cosette laughed and turned around.
"Well now they'll get two." She grinned, sweetly stating the obvious. Marius leaned in and placed a soft kiss on her lips. She smiled wider. "I love you."
"Really?" He grinned too.
"Of course I do." She grew serious. "You know that."
"I know." He stepped back. "I want to talk to you for a moment." He wasn't smiling anymore. Cosette's mind began to whir. Had she done something? Was he angry with her? "Here, sit down." He pulled out a chair for her. "Um…I know that before when I did this…everything was wrong, and I think I ought to do it again. But this time, everything will be perfect. There was a long pause.
"It's been almost a year now, and every day I've loved you more and more." He got down on one knee. Cosette gasped. "Cosette…will you be my wife?"
She nodded, tears clouding her vision. "But…you've given me a ring once already."
"I know…but I'd rather you wear this one…its more significant now. Besides, the other one is gone. It means nothing anymore…to either of us." He slid the new ring on her finger.
"To us." He said, kissing her hand.
"To us."
A/n: This chapter was one of my worst, I must say…but what is a story without unneeded fluff anyway? Dedicated mostly to becc-gallanter, because I know how much she loves this les mis pairing.
