And here it is the finale to Arc 1 of If That Is My Apollo's Wish. I hope you have enjoyed this segment and I will get the next part up as early as I can for you guys ;) And sorry for the really short epilogue but there is not much more to say :)

P.S – I am now on FictionPress to put my novel attempt up. Search guineamania to find me! It would mean the world if people would help me improve it.

Chapter 9 (Epilogue to Part 1)

Grantaire stood there speechless, staring at the ring. Eventually, he seemed to regain function of his vocal cord and managed to choke out a response. "Yes, but no," he stuttered, still in shock. Enjolras's heart visibly dropped and his head hung limp in dejection. "Yes I would love to marry you it is my biggest dream," Grantaire exclaimed, causing Enjolras spirits to lift once again. "But no because it is illegal. No one will do it and if we are found out we could be arrested!" he declared, rubbing a hand across his eyes wearily.

"I thought we could just do a bond. Not a marriage but just oaths in front of our friends to promise to be together forever," Enjolras explained with a wariness that certainly did not suit the revolutionary. Grantaire jumped on him and wrapped his arm's round the taller man's neck and burying his face in the unruly curls.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes. A million times yes you beautiful idiot," Grantaire exclaimed and Enjolras' grin spread. Enjolras softly slid the ring onto his lover's finger and suddenly felt as if his world was complete when Grantaire's fingers were laced with his own. Maybe everything was finally taking a turn for the better.

Grantaire had made sure his brothers would stay away with threats and assurances from his father before he moved in with Enjolras. The drunkard didn't have many belongings and there was definitely enough room in Enjolras' flat for Enjolras and two Grantaires to live there comfortably. Enjolras had officially adopted Erica and she now called Enjolras Papa, and Grantaire was still Nic or Nicky. They took their vows in front of the amis in the back room of the Café Musain and now both wore rings to symbolise their bonds. Enjolras could now focus more on the revolution with Grantaire by his side and with the elder Grantaire looking after Erica. Life was good and both men were happy; what more could they ask for?

There we are. Arc 2 will be making an appearance soon but I cannot make any promises for dates. Review with ANYTHING you want to see in the next segment and I will see if it fits with the plot. And to you I say, Au Revoir … not goodbye, but See you again ;)
