Love is enough- Les Mis fanfic/Enjolras

Chapter 32

"Lissy, I" he started.

"What? You've come to tell me that I'm just your little distraction again? How about, your little toy? Maybe I should have 'disposable' written across my forehead" I said angrily. I wasn't really this mad but I knew that if I didn't get angry at him, I would cry and that was the worst thing that could happen.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it I swear. You are so important to me! You mean the world and more" he said desperately.

"You know what Enjolras, I really don't want to hear it right now" I complained, walking over to the door however he jumped in front of it.

"Hear me out, please" he said and I huffed.

"I was saying it because I really don't know if Cosette is that 'poignant' to him. If they had been together for longer, it would be different. The boy doesn't know what love is. And if he really thinks he loves her, he will get distracted with his 'relationship'" he said. To be honest, he was starting to persuade me but I wouldn't let it show.

"Oh I almost forgot, the revolution is the most important isn't it...and I'm pretty sure you don't know what love is either" I spat. He looked torn and I didn't want to do that. I didn't want to have to make him chose between me and that. I knew that he should and would chose that over me and I scolded myself for saying that. I was hurting him more than I intended.

"It should be the most important thing, but you are to me whether I like it or not. And I do know what love it, because I know you" he admitted clasping my hands tightly and bringing them to rest beside his heart.

"Please forgive me, please" he pleaded and I swallowed. His eyes were wide and his eyebrows were furrowed, something I noticed happened when he was stressed and upset. I couldn't stay mad at him.

I gave him a small smile and I allowed him to kiss me softly. I couldn't help it though. His lips were too much and I allowed him to pull me closer and without thinking, I ran my hands through his golden hair.

I intended to hold a grudge but that sure didn't happen.

We pulled apart and he looked happily at me. "I really am sorry" he said again.

"I am too. I didn't mean what I said about the rebellion. I really don't want to make you chose. It's not fair" I told him and he looked grateful.

"I guess it's weird having totally different priorities compared to a week or so ago." He shrugged.

"I hate to tell you, but Madame H is a little..." I said playing with my hands and he groaned.

"Okay it's one thing being in trouble with you and Grantaire but her as well?" he moaned and I smiled apologetically.

"Sorry but she kinda forced it out of me" I said, holding my hands up in surrender. "What happened with R?" I asked, intrigued.

"Well he is understandably annoyed at me after what I said. He yelled at me for a full 2 minutes. He cares about you a lot Lissy, he acts like your brother" he said and I smiled fondly. I loved Grantaire unreal amounts. He was like a brother to me and our personalities were so similar. We didn't clash though, we clicked.

"Has he gone home?" I asked and he nodded.

"He wouldn't leave though until he saw me go into the cafe" he laughed. He added. "That boy pretends not to care about anything and it makes me furious. He's smart and witty, he could do so much more than drink himself away and make snidey comments"

"Give him a break love. You never know, he might have his reasons" I said fairly. "Let's go downstairs, I'm tired" I yawned and walked down the stairs with him following close behind.

The couple had gone now and it seemed that Madame H was waiting for us to leave so she could lock up.

"Oh I'm sorry Madame! You could have told us to get a move on! You must be tired" I said and she kissed my cheek, opening the door to the mild late evening.

"Enjolras, I'm warning you" she said and he nodded, looking at his feet. He was totally terrified of this woman.

"I know Madame" he said in a sing-song tone, like the way you would greet a schoolteacher.

"Anyway, I hate to see my favourite people angry and upset" she smiled, pushing us outside the door and she turned around, locking it.

"Be safe" he said as she pulled us both into a hug.

"Oh what shall I do without Enjis protection!" She laughed, walking away from us, back to her home.

"I am really sorry" he said for the third time tonight, placing a hand on the small of my back.

"Stop apologising Ma Cherie" I said lightly, leaning against him. "What are we doing tomorrow?"

"Well, Chetta, Joly and Bossuet are having a sort of get-together at theirs. It will be a nice opportunity to just relax for a bit as we don't have a meeting tomorrow. Do you fancy it?" He said and I nodded.

"Who's going?" I asked.

"The boys, Cosette and Éponine most probably. That's about it" he said.

"Cool. I'm looking forward to it" I said excitedly and he stroked under my chin, laughing.

"You're so adorable and tiny" he chuckled and I tried to bite his finger.

"Though she be but little , she is fierce" I quoted, smirking.

"Eugh shut up Jehan!" He said loudly, laughing. "Who even said that?"

"William Shakespeare you doof!" I said, shaking my head. "You're so stupid"

"Hate you too" he said.

"No you love me" I giggled.

"That's true" he whispered, kissing me quickly.
