Author's note: This one is a bit longer, and from Grantaire POV again.
To Guest "Just Me" Yes, I was alluding to the big bang theory and calvin and hobbes! I'm so glad some one noticed!
As always, thank you for reading and please review, it really spurs me on!
Grantaire was in a state of shock. He'd spent the night in Enjolras's bed, and was now practically cuddling him on the sofa!
They were inches from each other, Enjolras with his legs tucked underneath him, Grantaire spread out, his arm dangerously close to Enjolras's shoulder.
They were part-way through their 3rd film, it had taken a while to convince Enjolras that he could afford to miss one day of revision, but Grantaire had beaten him down with Lord of the Rings.
The Two Towers was Enjolras's favourite, and he was apparently engrossed in it, but every so often, Grantaire could see his fingers twitching closer to his own.
As the credits rolled, they were an inch from touching.
Enjolras suddenly jumped up "Well, this was, uh, nice! But I do have that essay to finish and..." he stopped, clutching his head.
"Enjy, are you ok?" he grabbed Enjolras around the middle, just in time to stop him falling.
"Yeah, I'm.." He paused "You called me Enjy"
Grantaire went red "Uh, yeah, I guess, I mean..." "Taire! It's ok"
Did he just call me Taire? I think he did!
Are you still holding on to him?
He jumped, releasing Enjolras, who smiled. Grantaire smiled back.
Ok, now would be that moment!
He moved forwards cautiously. When they were close enough to feel each other breathing, Enjolras wobbled again, reached for Grantaire, tripped and took them both over onto the sofa.
At some point, either while falling, or upon impact, their lips touched.
Is he? Are we? Yep...
Grantaire clung to Enjolras's lips as if he never wanted to leave such a heavenly place.
When they finally broke apart, Enjolras looked up at him
"Taire"
It sent a shiver through Grantaire to hear his beloved Enjy referring to him as such.
"Taire, I... I..."
No way... He isn't going to...?
"I love you"
Grantaire's heart exploded with happiness, unable to say, or do anything else, he launched forward, and kissed Enjolras again.
What are you...
No, never mind, just kiss him.
Oh shit, you're kissing him!
It was awkward, messy and beautiful.
Grantaire moved his hands up, and ran his fingers through Enjolras's gold curls.
Wait, did you actually say?
He pulled away "I love you too!"
Enjolras responded by kissing him yet fiercer.
Are we going to question this at any point?
No?
Ok!
It was the most perfect moment of Grantaire's life. He was laying on top of his darling Apollo, who was kissing him with passion that Grantaire had thought was reserved for good causes.
After a while, he didn't know how long, he'd lost track of everything except Enjolras's lips, they broke apart.
"Taire?" He smiled
"Yes Enjy?"
"Would you like to, uh, maybe, go out with me?" he stuttered, looking oh-so-perfect
Did he just actually ask you out? For real?
OH MY GOD.
WOW.
You might want to actually answer him by the way.
"I mean, if you don't want to..."
"Yes!"
Yeah, try not to deafen him
Enjolras pulled him self up on his elbows and flung his arms around Grantaire neck.
"Then kiss me!"
La la diii lahhhhh la la laaaaaa!
Grantaire's brain had turned to mush the second Enjolras had started entwining his fingers in Taire's hair.
All he could think about was leaning back, so that Enjolras would be on top of him.
Grantaire moved his hands to rest on Enjolras's hips, which caused Enjy to push his pelvis ever-so-slightly against Grantaire.
When Grantaire pushed back, Enjolras gave a low moan that flipped Grantaire's stomach over and made him pull up his leg to wrap around the other man.
Grantaire was on the point of ripping Enjolras's shirt And any other clothing off, when the door bell rang.
They jumped apart, Enjolras falling off the sofa and crashing on the floor.
Oh great, you broke him
"Shit, Enjy, are you ok?"
The doorbell rang again and a slightly irritated-sounding Joly called out "Are you two in there?"
They looked at each other, trust Joly to know the exact worst time to come over.
Enjolras picked himself up off the floor and straightened his shirt out.
Oh, I am going to murder Joly
Grantaire got off the sofa and tried to look casual as Enjy opened the door.
"Well it's about time! What have you two been doing?" Joly asked with a laugh
Grantaire shot a sideways glance at Enjolras. "Well, we were, uh, watching Lord of the Rings!"
In truth, the credits were still rolling on the screen.
"Ah, you've found the Marble Leaders weak spot!"
Enjolras looked remarkably flustered "Would you, uh, like to come in?"
What is he doing? Oh Christ, Joly is going to pay for this!
"I'll put the kettle on!" Grantaire had no intention of staying under Joly's questioning stare.
"Ooooh, I'll have a coffee, thanks Taire!"
"Yeah, great" Grantaire mumbled as he went into the kitchen.
When he came out five minutes later with two cups of coffee, Grantaire was greeted by a disturbing sight. A very uncomfortable-looking Enjolras was shirtless on the sofa with Joly sitting on top of him, taking his blood pressure.
He got Enjolras's shirt off and I didn't?
"Oh Grantaire, there you are!" Enjolras untangled himself from underneath Joly and got up.
"Hey, I wasn't done!"
Enjolras looked pleadingly at Taire.
How could I resist Apollo's gaze?
He put the cups down on the table "Joly, it's very, uh, kind of you to come and, um check on Enjy-Enjolras, but he's fine!"
Joly laughed "I didn't only come to check on 'Enjy'!"
Enjolras looked horribly awkward "I just have to, erm go and, get, um, this way..."
And he practically bolted into his bedroom.
Great, thanks!
Wait, what was Joly saying?
"Uh, Joly, what did you mean, you didn't only come to check on Don't call him Enjy! Enjolras?"
The dark haired med student's expression was a mixture of embarrassed and amused. "Well, I wanted to see if... No, it doesn't matter"
I wonder how many people have been killed with a coffee mug?
"Joly!" he warned
"Well, there's this bet you see"
This can only end badly
"What bet?"
Joly now looked slightly uncomfortable "Uh, well, Courfeyrac started it really..."
You're next Courfeyrac
Joly, tell me now, or so help me, this mug is going to go so far up your..."
"Ok!"
Mwhahaha, and Enjy says violence isn't the answer?
"It'sabettoseehowlongbeforeyouandEnjolrasgettogeth er" he spluttered out in one breath.
"What!? Between who?"
"Errr, all of us?"
Congratulations Ami's, you just made the list!
"What did you bet?" He wasn't going to let Joly get away that easily.
"Well, after Enjolras looked so ill yesterday, and, uh, you took him home..."
Grantaire was shocked, how could his friends do this to him and be so right?
He sighed "I really don't know why I'm friends with you guys sometimes"
Joly looked relieved "So now you can tell me, friend to friend, have you screwed him yet?"
Joly's face was ludicrously straight.
I was just getting there when some idiot knocked on the door!
"What? Joly, you can't just ask people things like that!"
"You aren't denying it though"
Shit, he has me there.
"So tell me, who's bed were you in last night?"
"He was in mine of course"
Grantaire whirled around, Enjolras was standing in the doorway, he'd put a shirt on Damn and looked faintly amused.
Joly punched the air "Yes! I told Couf! He grabbed his blood pressure meter and went to the door "You guys have fun! But safe fun, do you know..."
And Enjolras closed the door.
"Alone at last"
"Why did you have to tell Joly that? He'll tell Courfeyrac, and in an hour the whole of England, if not the world will know"
Enjolras smiled, and it was not a smile Grantaire had seen before "Maybe that's a good thing"
Did he hit his head when he fell off the sofa?
Grantaire's phone beeped from his pocket.
Here we go
And sure enough, it was Courfeyrac
You couldn't have held on another day? You just lost me 20 quid!
"Isn't it nice to have such lovely friends?" Enjy laughed
But well done anyway, it's about time!
Enjolras chuckled awkwardly "Yeah, you're right, the whole world will know by morning!"
Now it was Grantaire's turn to smile
"And maybe that is a good thing"
They kissed. Enjolras was right, this could only be a good thing.
