I Believe In You

Summary:

Grantaire has never believed in anything, except Enjolras

or

The final moments of ExR, told through a poem!

Notes:

Hi!!! This is my first fic and, well, it's actually not really a fic at all and instead a poem. Ohwell!
I really wanted to write something about these two as they have taken over my entire brain space, and I don't really write prose (yet) so here we are!

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Apollo are you listening
To a humble disciples suit?
I've never believed in anything,
But I believe in you.

Your endless hope disgusts me,
As my drunkenness does you,
But even in drunken stupor
I will still believe in you.

I'll goad you into petty fights,
Self-hating as I do,
And the fire in your piercing eyes
Makes me believe in you.

Your cause is one I cannot trust,
Nor hold it's ideals true,
But I'll fight for a cause that isn't mine
For I believe in you.

I may live yet, they haven't seen me,
Godforsaken badge askew,
But we're all dying for our belief,
And I believe in you

So I'll be by your side Apollo,
With a whispered 'permets-tu'
If one last time you'll allow me,
To just believe in you

Take my hand, and I won't feel it
As the bullets tear us through
The cynic and the dreamer,
Lover I believe in you

Notes:

Ok so, sorry? I actually wasn't intending to make this about their death when I started but hey, we are the Les MISERABLES fandom for a reason ig!
I did speed write this in a frenzy at 1am so if there are any errors/ it's just generally a bit crap then sorry!
