Yeah, same. [More literally than Remi knew, but. Well.] I guess I'm just surprised Thomas only suggested you come to the meetings now, he seemed really insistent I meet with you the other day.

[He smiles fondly.]

Yeah, they've been like that for as long as I can remember. I'm surprised it took them this long to date, they always basically were at each other's hip that it just seemed like a formality when they finally bit the bullet. But I guess when you're around another person like that so long that it takes longer to notice.

[He rubs his neck a little, embarrassed at his own pontification.]

Sorry, I shouldn't ruminate over things like that; Michel's always said I'm relationship-challenged, platonic or otherwise. But they're my best friends, like brothers, so it's nice to see them happy.

[ R smiles fondly at his embarrassment about the introspection. ]

Wo-ow. Quite reflective of you, E. If I didn’t know better I would even say say that you must have a soft spot for those two. [ As if Enjolras— Alexandre— could have soft spots. ]

lame response is lame

[He scowls a little bit at the light teasing, but there's no bite to it, only embarrassment at being pegged yet again.]

I mean, they're my best friends, I think I'm allowed a "soft spot". Like you haven't had that?

oh if alex likes being pegged we can arrange that i mean—

[ Grantaire’s eyes glaze over with an intoxicated softness at the words, while he smiles with just a bit more secrecy than his eyes can manage. ]

I have soft spots, but I’ll let you figure out where they are. You got stuff to get back to probably, huh?

why don't you just @ him huh

[Enjolras is just about to ask what exactly does he mean by that, does he really want to know what he means by that, and finally what does it mean if he does want to know what he meant by that, but. But.

Breathing through his nose, he lets those thoughts dissipate in favor of something that doesn't make his headache stronger.]

Um, yes. I've got several papers due somewhat soon, so. I'll let you go, I guess?

it would probably be less typing tru tru

[ R gives the other young man a small mocking salute. ]

Back to your studies, O dedicated one. Slacker out.
