aaaah I love it! The feeling of a lazy Morning After (after what? does anyone even really remember?) ,the affectionate mutual snarking,the horrible decor, itâs all great. Thank you!
It surprised Feuilly when he looked at his watch and realized that it was almost nine am already. He was not used to sleeping in or, indeed, to being wake up by the booming laughter of Bahorel rather than by his alarm clock and the radio. He opened his eyes, and startled when someone grabbed his arm and mumbled against him ânot yetâ
He glanced at his side. Courfeyrac, eyes still heavy with sleep, was nuzzling his shoulder. Thatâs when it hit Feuilly all over – he was in holidays. He was in Croatia, with his friends – there would be no work for the entire week, just a long list of museums and towns to visit, people to talk to, places to be amazed at.
He grinned and rose, ignoring Courfeyracâs moan.
âGet up,â he said. âIâm sure everybody else will be waiting for us.â
âLiar,â muttered Courfeyrac, though he seemed less to reluctant to get up faced with Feuillyâs sudden enthusiasm. âYou know Joly and Bossuet just like I do. Theyâll sleep in.â
âBut imagine the surprise of everybody if you come outside with me, so early,â Feuilly pointed out, and got out of the bed quickly, raising an eyebrow at Courfeyrac, who snorted. âFine,â he said. âGo ahead, iâll be right behind you.â
Feuilly was pretty sure Courfeyrac wouldnât, but now that reality had settled in once more, he couldnât wait. He got out of the little room they shared, and moved to where all the chatting seemed to come from, the terrasse. Outside, it was warm, and sunny, though there was just enough fresh air not to be uncomfortable. Enjolras, Bahorel, Jehan and Combeferre were all up. Grantaire was technically there too, though he seemed to be finishing his night against Jehanâs shoulder.
âFeuilly,â said Enjolras immediately. âGood morning. Did you sleep well?â
âVery,â said Feuilly. âCourfeyrac said heâd joined us soon. Are we waiting for everybody to be up to chose what weâre doing today? Thereâs the museum we saw when we arrived last night -â
âWe have the maps and plans out,â said Combeferre.
âBut first, breakfast,â said Bahorel firmly. âSit down. Your enthusiasm will not be enough to sustain you. You need coffee and some pastries. Most important meal of the day, donât forgetâ
âYes mom,â said Feuilly fond and happy, and sat next to Enjolras, who took a sip of his coffee, and subtly offered him a guide book under the table as soon as Bahorel went back to discussing with Jehan.
…and itâs making me think that I really need to share some of my veterinarian stories of very large men with tiny puppies and kittens BECAUSE IT IS EVERY BIT AS PRECIOUS AS YOU THINK IT IS. So, yeah. Mental note. I clearly need to tell some of those stories and adapt them for Bahorel. Just saying. ;D
fandom nerds beinâ slain by Emotions together since Ever
Oh gosh, Pilf. Iâm tempted to ask what theyâre reading, but Iâm also not sure if I want to know. (Also, whoâs the faster reader, because oh so many variables.)
Bahorelâs the faster reader, because Prouvaire keeps stopping to Emotions. (Bahorel definitely Emotions, but heâs one of those people who then reads FASTER to find out What Happens Next Oh No Oh No.) Maybe thatâs part of why Prouvaire is punching himâ donât you DARE turn the page, you freaky speed-reader! Emotions Time!
so Courfeyrac keeps coming buy like. borrowing sugar and flour and baking soda all the times, because Courf talks a lot but his flirting game when he has an actual crush is absolutely atrocious. itâs terrible pickup lines and bad jokes and Feuillyâs love that actually but Courfeyrac doesnât know that so he has no idea how to approach him.
so after something like two months of that, Feuillyâs curious about his cute neighbour who looks like he bakes a lot so he gathers his courage and initiates Small Talk (with extra awkward because heâs not good at small talk) ââHey you like to bake? Thatâs so cool what do you bake? Iâm learning to bake too. Â Maybe we could swap tips and reciepes and stuffâ (and he curses himself because heâs actually terrible he burned the last three batches of cookies heâs tried).
But Courfeyracâs been sorta gathering all these ingredients without knowing what to do with them and he panics like –Â âCrap have I been stealing from him?? I have havenât Iâ
#romcomplotbegins
(they both call their friends/coworker Bahorel to help them come up with something, not realising they have a common acquaintance. And it all goes well, more or less, until they realise Bahorel gave them both the same tips and reciepes because no way heâs letting that kind of misunderstanding up in the air for long enough to screw everything up. in the end they all have a good laugh and Courfeyrac totally declares it a successful date. Feuillyâs still a lil embarrassed but he agrees.)
Bahorel: Sure is dark in here.
Feuilly:
Bahorel: I’m not scared or anything.
Feuilly:
Bahorel: I mean, who’s scared of the dark these days?? Not me. Not Bahorel. No sir.
Feuilly: Do you want me to hold your hand?
Bahorel:
Bahorel: Yes please.
I have so many ideas. Some are simple, like âtake down traffic signsâ and âdestroy hypocritical church missives.’ The bigger ones will be tougher, like ‘bring all this crumbling to the ground.â
