Enjoltaire One Shots

VI-Everyone is Cute on Christmas

 It's Christmas day. Snow is falling fast outside, and due to the sheer amount of snow (according to Combeferre, they were supposed to get over two feet) and freezing temperatures, no one has any intention of leaving the Christmas party at Enjolras and Grantaire's place anytime soon. The only light is that of the TV and the glowing lights from outside, shining against the darkness of the sky. The city lights serve to illuminate the snow that blankets the city. Everyone is snuggling with the people they love, and they're all spread around the living room—slightly cramped, but in the best possible way. Everyone's simply happy to be there.

Enjolras and Grantaire are next to each other on a chair meant for one person, to the left of the couch, facing the TV. It's extra cramped with Egg on top of them, but they have never been happier. Their heads rest against each other as they rub Egg's belly and they smile as they exchange quick kisses in between "I love you"s. Their fingers are intertwined with the other's and despite being near the window, the warmth of each other (and the dog) is enough to keep them from shivering.

Feuilly lay right on top of Bahorel, exhausted from spending the day baking enough cookies for everyone. Bahorel rubs Feuilly's back, occasionally kissing his forehead, and reassuring him that yes the cookies were delicious, and yes you made enough cookies (Feuilly made at least 50 cookies), and yes I love you too, my little cookie. Bahorel's glad to be with all of the people he loves. Feuilly falls asleep when he takes Bahorel's hand and pulls it close to his chest, and Bahorel is just glad Feuilly is getting the rest he deserves, because Lord knows how much he needs it.

Courfeyrac is trying to persuade anyone (but mostly Combeferre) to join in singing carols with him. Combeferre says that Courf is lucky enough that he stopped reading and actually started socializing with people. Courfeyrac is just happy that Combeferre was given the week off, and he can't help himself as he sits down next to Combeferre on the floor right next to Enjolras and Grantaire's feet. Courf and Ferre hold hands and happily exchange quick kisses and "I love you"s. Jill somehow finds herself in the lap of Courfeyrac, and Courf happily accepts the attention from the small dog.

Joly, Bossuet, and Musichetta are all snuggling on the big couch behind the coffee table. Bossuet and Joly are sitting against each other with Joly's head resting against Bossuet's shoulder. Musichetta lays across their laps, sound asleep, but smiling all the same. Bossuet plays with her hair as Joly holds her hand, right on the brink of falling asleep. When Musichetta wakes up seconds after Bossuet sneezes and Joly gasps, because oh my God Bossuet you're going to catch the flu and DIE OH MY GOD. Bossuet laughs and reassures him he's fine. Musichetta smiles and pulls down both of their collars and kisses them one at a time, and they all exchange "I love you"s as one by one, each of them fall asleep with smiles on their faces.

*****

Cosette and Marius are really paying attention to the Christmas movie playing on the TV (Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer). They're sitting against the coffee table, right up against each other, holding hands, softly singing to each other. Marius kisses Cosette's forehead and Cosette kisses his cheek. The smiles never leave their faces.

*****

Jehan and Montparnasse are next to each other on the love-seat to the right of the couch. Jehan watches the movie intently, and Parnasse has an arm around them, and Jehan holds Parnasse's arm against their chest. Montparnasse tries to watch the movie, but soon enough found watching Jehan was more to his liking. He gently plays with their hair and attempts to braid a poinsettia (that Jehan grew themselves) into their hair, but Montparnasse gives up when he remembers he can't even braid, despite Jehan's many attempts to teach him. Montparnasse sticks the flower into Jehan's hair and he kisses the top of their head. Jehan attempts to lean against Montparnasse closer, despite the fact that both of them are practically stuck together at the moment. Montparnasse smiles, happy, knowing that Jehan loves him and he loves them.

Éponine is trying to keep Gavroche from raiding the kitchen, but can't she can't help herself when she sees the unopened bag of potato chips. Éponine and Gavroche sneak back into the living room and they sit next to Marius and Cosette, passing them a bowl full of a wide assortment of food, ranging from cookies to cheese puffs to potato chips. Éponine's happy to have a Christmas filled with family and happiness rather than despair, and she's glad she can provide this goodness Gavroche. Gavroche is happy that his sister seems to finally be at peace with life, and he's thankful, because the only things on Gav's list were 1) I'd like Éponine to be truly happy in life and 2) I want a drone too, please.
