headcanon that Enjolras is a terrible liar

Feuilly: If this plan goes down the drain, where should we regroup?

Grantaire: The afterlife I guess.

*Grantaire doing bungee jumping*

*Grantaire doing motocross*

*Grantaire doing free climbing*

*Grantaire doing parkour*

Enjolras:

Grantaire: You know I believe in you.

Enjolras:

Enjolras, internally: *gay panic*

Enjolras, externally: Go away.

Grantaire has a sketchbook with “R Draws Cats” printed on the cover, and he uses it to... draw cats.

It’s his emotional support sketchbook.

Enjolras loves piggybacks from Grantaire. It’s gotten to the point that if Grantaire is standing, and there’s a chair or couch near him, Enjolras will run up and jump on him - every. single. time. Grantaire’s reflexes have never been better and he just rolls his eyes and grabs Enjolras’s legs to keep him secure.

"You just want to be tall don't you?"

"Listen here mister, I might be short but you're the little shit in this relationship"

"That doesn't answer my question"

"Shut up".

It’s barricade day and I just couldn’t help myself-

From this post [x]

Also trying out a simpler style because I love to suffer.

Grantaire: I’m having salad for dinner.

*Eponine looks at him with annoyed disbelief*

Grantaire: Well, fruit salad

*She keeps looking at him*

Grantaire: Actually, it’s mostly grapes.

*She keeps looking at him*

Grantaire: Alright, it’s all grapes.

*She keeps looking at him*

Grantaire: Fermented grapes.

Grantaire: I’m having wine for dinner. 

Les Amis Headcanons: People They Left Behind

Enjolras: The baker’s assistant, named by his parents François but usually called “you,” “boy” or “dimwit,” lived for 8:05 sharp every morning, because that was when Enjolras would come to buy his breakfast, pay the baker, and then say “Good day, Citizen François” and make François feel like a person. Enjolras was the only one who ever did this.

Combeferre: One of his patients was an elderly woman who was an absolute shrew to everyone except Combeferre, who reminded her of her dead son. After the barricade fell she turned desperate and asked every day why Monsieur Combeferre never came anymore. Nobody had the heart to tell her.

Courfeyrac: For the last few years he had had a friend, a gamin named Nicolas. They had breakfast together on Sunday, and when the weather turned cold Courfeyrac gave Nicolas his old jackets. Nicolas died of frostbite in November 1832, at the age of 11. Draw your own conclusions.

Jean Prouvaire: He was teaching his landlady’s son to play the flute, an endeavor that seemed futile to everyone but the two of them. When the boy finally managed to produce a few sounds he wanted to show his teacher immediately, but his mother told him that Monsieur Prouvaire had gone to some General’s funeral and she didn’t know when he would be back.

Bahorel: For all he griped about law, he had become very close to one of the professors. They spent many happy hours talking about every topic under the sun, and the professor sometimes thought of Bahorel as the child he’d never had. When he heard about the barricades, he knew immediately that Bahorel was involved, and refused to read the names of the casualties when the battle was over. Because he knew.

Feuilly:  He’d realized that the girl he’d been nursing a huge crush on actually felt the same way, and a romance started to develop. Every week he gave her a flower–which she dried and saved–and the night before he left for the barricade, they kissed for the first time. When the sun rose two days later, Feuilly had one kiss, Marie had thirty-seven flowers, and neither of those numbers would ever get any higher.

Bossuet: Over the years he had become friendly with one of the “regular” beggars, who always sat in the same spot beside a fountain. Every day Bossuet gave a him a few sous, plenty of schadenfreude and a sense of being something more than just another beggar on the streets of Paris. Then things changed, and it was back to only the birds for company.

Joly: After months of dithering and consulting with Bossuet, he decided that for Musichetta’s next birthday he would give her the gift of a marriage proposal. Musichetta’s birthday was June 8th.

Grantaire: His boxing partner looked forward to their weekly matches not only because he and Grantaire were great friends, but also because when they shook hands goodbye, Grantaire always slipped him some money. It wasn’t much to Grantaire, but the boxing partner was an underpaid workingman with a wife and six children, and that money sometimes meant food for the week.

For personal reasons, Grantaire needs to wear these:

les amis and their love languages:

enjolras: he isn't the best at expression his affection. he gets really nervous when it comes to showing his love for people because it always feels unnatural for him to tell people out right "you mean a lot to me". he's really good about listening when he loves someone. if he actually stops and listens to what somebody is saying, he cares about them. and weirdly enough, movies are his love language. enjolras will always suggest they watch a movie if somebody is over and he likes sharing the movies he enjoys. sharing something as simple as a movie is something that he only reserves for his close friends because he knows all of the bts fun facts and the other roles the actors have been in and he likes to infodump on people he cares about

combeferre: he's really big on physical affection. combeferre will gently punch people's shoulders or bat them on the back or flick at their nose. sometimes when enjolras gets so wound up and frustrated, combeferre will just come over and hug him for a moment and let him breathe until he feels okay to get back to work. combeferre is really touchy with people he likes and it's really noticeable when he isn't as close with others in the group because he isn't physical with them. he's also a note-giver. combeferre will write sticky notes on courfeyrac's bathroom mirror reminding him to take his meds or he'll leave a sticky on feuilly's bag telling him that the point he made in the meeting was really good and so on. combeferre loves sticky notes, he'll leave them everywhere

courfeyrac: he's really big on trying to prove that he loves people. courfeyrac does everything- touch, gifts, hanging out, you name it. most of the time he's just desperate to keep people around and that's why he relies so heavily on making sure that they know he likes their company. he buys people personalized gifts most often and if he's at a cafe or a restaurant, he always offers to pay for them. money doesn't buy happiness, but courfeyrac is convinced that it buys friendship

jehan: they show their love through physical touch, similarly to combeferre. jehan will lean against shoulders and greet people with a kiss to each cheek and they always offer to play with people's hair. if someone's hair is longer than a buzz cut and they're sitting next to jehan during a meeting, they'll get propositioned with a "can i play with your hair?" jehan is also really good at scalp massages, but enjolras had to take them aside and tell them to maybe not do it at meetings because people were falling asleep when they did it. they're also like a cat bringing their owners dead bugs that they killed- only with jehan it's little trinkets. they bought a sparkly pen for combeferre because it reminded them of him, or they got bossuet a pair of funky earrings, and so on

marius: he's a talker. he's such a talker. if he likes who he's sitting with, he feels comfortable and just infodumps on them. around unfamiliar people and people he doesn't know as well he starts to clam up out of pure nervousness, but around courfeyrac and cosette both he could talk for hours. when he has a good day he wants the people he loves to know. he really really values conversation in relationships

joly: food. so much food. joly is really considerate when it comes to people's diets. if someone has food restrictions and they're over, he'll make them food they can actually eat and enjoy. if someone mentions that they didn't have time for lunch or breakfast, it's totally okay because joly is already pulling something for them to snack on out of his bag. he really cares about people eating enough and that really shows in the amount of baggies of carrots or fruit gummies he keeps on him. whenever grantaire is around, he'll make sure to bring a snack because god knows he doesn't eat enough

feuilly: he shows his love through texting and calling, which is very subtle at first but is very evident as people grow closer to him. he sends really nice good morning and goodnight texts every day to the people he loves and he sends them updates on his day as well as asking for updates of their own. when he really likes someone, he can hold a five hour video call with them and not even notice. it's just nice to have someone to talk to when he's eating dinner and getting ready for bed. he also sends a bus load of memes to the people he likes. he's really big on stuff like that. he'll find like a shitpost of fnaf porn and send it to bahorel with a simple message of "us" because he knows that his friends find it funny

bossuet: he values quality time probably more than anyone else. bossuet loves irl company so much and he frequently comes up with plans and such to have people around. all of his friends can guarantee that there will be some sort of activity to do on the weekends and that their lives will never be boring. bossuet always comes up with new and interesting things to do that he knows will also be fun for the people he's inviting. he wouldn't bring enjolras to a bar and he wouldn't bring joly to a public pool. bossuet is really good about making sure people don't feel left out. if someone new joins the friend group, he's the first to ask them if they want to hang out (with courfeyrac in tow. they're what's called the 'welcome committee')

grantaire: similarly to enjolras, he's really bad at showing affection. for a long time, he really thought that perhaps he couldn't show it at all and that's why no one could stand him. now he sort of catches himself showing his love in weird ways. if he drinks the last beer at someone's house, he'll buy them a new case without telling them. if he sees something in a window that he thinks is cute, he'll send a pic of it to someone who would like it. he's good about listening when he needs to and talking when others aren't sure what else to say

bahorel: he's another physical touch guy. bahorel greets the people he loves in bone-crushing hugs and he loves napping with people in a platonic way. he's also really big on compliments. new shoes? bahorel noticed and he will be informing whoever's wearing them that they're nice. new haircut? bahorel is already going ooooooh i love it. he really knows how to make people smile when they need to hear it and he isn't picky with who he compliments. he'll compliment everybody and it's always really genuine. he has this way of making people feel comfortable around him and he's given a lot of people compliments that they will never forget

It’s entirely his.

Can you see it? Can you hear it?

Grantaire: Knock, knock!

Enjolras: I'm not in the mood.

Grantaire: Just this once, please? Knock, knock!

Enjolras, sighing: Fine. Who's there?

Grantaire: Mary.

Enjolras: Mary who?

Grantaire: Marry me.
