    Summary

    “Yuuta…” She says, sounding more like she is saying a prayer rather than a name. To her, it’s basically the same thing.

    Summary

    “—you know, they call him the treasure of Japanese soccer—”

    “Treasure?” Nagi interrupts, all thoughts of the shorter article leaving his mind. He frowns, finally glancing back at the main picture. “This chibi?” he asks, and he can't help the hint of derision slipping in his tone as he eyes the black-haired player in the picture.

    "No, no," Reo corrects, tapping his finger on the second figure in the picture. "The good-looking one."

    Nagi blinks slowly. "Good-looking," he repeats, and Reo's eyes dart to him before darting away back to the picture.

    "Err, yeah," Reo starts. "You know, handsome. Kind of in foreign-looking way, right?"

    Nagi doesn't see it. He bites his tongue before he can say as much, but he can't help but prod for more information anyway. "Is it the hair?"

    or, Nagi tries a new hairstyle

    Summary

    Men like Enjolras belonged in books: those of ancient history, once the uglier facets of reality had been dulled by a forgiving editorial hand, or in poetry; in myths and legends that were by design exemplary, idealised projections, their heroes far too perfect to be wrought of anything but paper and ink.

    If Cupid had struck Grantaire with an arrow of gold, he had surely struck Enjolras with an arrow of lead.

    -

    Grantaire invites Enjolras into his studio, beginning a slow but profound shift in their relationship.
