    Summary

    “You aren’t going to ask me if I’m okay?”

    “You aren’t. Believe me, I know the signs.” Grantaire sighs, and his breath mists in the air like cigarette smoke. “They love you in there.”

    “And out here?”

    “You know that’s not a fair question.”

    Summary

    “You didn’t correct him. I waited for you to correct him and you didn’t.”

    Obviously, Enjolras realized what he was talking about and Grantaire knew it as well. But it was a conversation he would prefer not to have, so he feigned ignorance in hopes Grantaire would just give up and forget about it, “I’m not sure I know what you mean.”

    Grantaire didn’t even blink, “You do. You didn’t correct him at the start, and you didn’t correct him in the end. I would go so far as to say you confirmed his assumptions. You had no reason to do that– you already had your deal, it would have changed nothing."

    Or, simultaneously a story about trying to obtain gunpowder for your revolution as well as a reflection on how being asexual can be very confusing.

    O, be some other name!
    What's in a name? that which we call a rose
    By any other name would smell as sweet...

    -

    Grantaire doesn’t know the guy’s name. Every interaction he has with him goes like, “Oh, hello there, my friend.” He reads the smudged writing on his palm. “Entomology.”

    Summary

    It's summer, 1985. Eddie Munson has an actual legal job for a change, at the record store in the new Starcourt Mall. It's not without its hardships but the job also its compensations - there's the employee discount, of course, and then there's the fact that he finds it absolutely hilarious that one of the most annoying, arrogant, irritatingly perfect-looking guys from school is stuck working at the ice-cream parlour in the mall, wearing a silly little sailor suit.

    It becomes less hilarious when Eddie realises he actually kind of likes him now.
