I love that coffee is so firmly on your mind. [ Grantaire laughs as he teases mercilessly in light of the flush that comes to his cheeks long after the hot coffee left E’s lips. ]

I’d like that. A lot. [ The smile that sent them to Enjolras’ apartment last night is back, to replace the teasing one. R lifts his chin, innocently probing. ] What’re you doing today?

[seditiously]

It's not, you just keep bringing it u-- [Nope, not going to end this on another fight. He presses his lips into a firm line and just takes a long sip, not breaking eye contact in a move that couldn't possibly be described as petty.]

Oh. Okay, well good. Great, actually. [Flush with a relief, E releases a breath he hadn't realized he was holding and a smile creeps over his face. He thinks back to his last two quasi-breakups and Courfeyrac's lectures on 'political activism not being a valid reason to rain check making time for your partner' and--] Nothing today really, mainly homework. You um...want to go today then?

Saves on travel time?

[ Truthfully, every time Enjolras uses his mouth to do something other than talk he just thinks about last night and God he was still impressed about how much that exceeded his expectations. Okay. Focus, Grantaire. He gets up to dress his coffee. ]

I’ve got nothing today. [ ....He was getting an A in Philosophy anyway. ] Breakfast, in that case?

[Enjolras half-rises with him, grabbing his non-coffee carrying wrist to get his attention then giving him quick peck on the lips because, well, he can.]

Breakfast works, let me go get dressed. [Because the long sleeve shirt and pants he had on were clearly just house clothes.] Ah, do you need to borrow a pair of anything or...?

[habitually]

Ah, no, but wait a sec. [ Grantaire pulls the front of Enjolras’ shirt back toward him as he turns away, and kisses him a little longer, smiling through it. Because he can. Still smiling, he sips his lighter-tinged coffee and walks toward the bedroom. ]

Right, all good now. I’ll go get my things on then.
