Another “oh no he’s hot” moment: Combeferre getting a new job and Courfeyrac goes to visit him and he’s all “hey! How’s it…” then he notices how good Combeferre looks in that black polo and his black pants that fit just right and his hair looks perfect and he just gulps before finishing “…going?” with his voice an octave higher

glitterfeyrac:

and Combeferre is answering him but Courfeyrac can’t get any of the words to stick together in his brain and he’s just. Trying not to cry in front of everyone? And he holds up the small pastry box he brought Ferre (never go anywhere new without food!!!!) and stutters out an “oh this is for YOU”.

And then Ferre’s coworkers start filing up, asking him questions about “the cute one, what’s his name?” or “oh hey your friend is hot?” or “wait is he your boyfriend? NO!? Oh good, so i can ask him out then?” and Ferre is overwhelmed but most of all super angry for some reason. No you may not ask him out. No. No he is a mess and he is adorable and you may not ask him out (he mentally chastises himself because that is super possessive behaviour what the fuck?? @ self). But he doesn’t actually voice his objections, instead passively smiling and nodding and going “sure why the hell not”.

Courf rejects all of them with a polite smile and a few stuttered “oh. i’m taken”s. His mouth is dry. Ferre is still there in his FUCKING GODDAMN UNIFORM FUCKING G FUCKGING

(bonus: after everyone gets bored of hanging around near Courf, Ferre asks him suspiciously “uhh, Courf? Why did you tell them you were taken?” and Courfeyrac is seized in momentary panic. Oh Fuck. “because. I didn’t know what else to say to turn them down, to be frank with you”

“yeah but why would you want to turn them down? I mean, i know for a fact that at least Casey is your type – she’s smart, and beautiful, and a really good speaker, and she has freckles which you seem to like,” and he doesn’t mean to, but he sounds way more passionate about it than he normally would – a product of his jealousy, which Courf misreads, horribly.

“Oh yeah? If she’s so fucking great why don’t you date her?” but that’s not what Ferre Meant!!! And he tells him as much!! And Courf is awkwardly standing there trying to figure out a way to tell him “yeah she’s not my type because she’s not six foot infinity and she doesn’t have stupid glasses and a stupid jawline and she’s not YOU okay” without actually letting him know he likes him!!! Dumb sunshine boy.)
