It was morning. How I knew? The sun was shining. I rolled over to find the spot next to me empty. Courfeyrac wasn't there anymore. I shot up and looked down on me. It could've been a dream. I saw the white shirt that he had given to me the night before. So it couldn't be a dream, right?

Then I heard a noise downstairs. I slowly made my way out of bed and opened the door as slowly as I could. I grabbed the gun that was lying on the cupboard. Not that I knew how to shoot it anyways but it was worth a try. I walked down the stairs and held the gun in front of me. "Good morning.", he said. I gasped. God, that man will kill me one day.

"What are you doing with my gun?", he asked, taking it away from me. "I heard a noise and you weren't there. I thought someone broke in.", I explained. "It was just me. But I would've done the same.", he replied, "So I made breakfast for you. I didn't know what you like to eat so I did a variety of food for you." "Thank you.", I said.

"Do you really have to leave me?", he asked. "I do. My shift starts soon.", I said. "But Emilia— y-you can't leave me.", he said. "I have to." "But today there's no meeting.", he exclaimed. "Visit me.", I suggested. He shot me a glare. "I was just kidding, don't worry." He got up and leaned in.

He gave me a final kiss and I walked back to the Café. When I reached the Café, I ran into Gavroche. "Bonjour Gavroche." "Emilia, Courfeyrac disappeared. He wasn't opening the door this morning and he usually does." "Don't worry. He's fine."

"How do you know?", he asked with his big blue eyes staring holes in me. "I have seen him this morning." Well, I woke up in his bed this morning.
"Oh thank god. Thank you so much Emilia. You're the best person on this planet, next to Courfeyrac!", he said and then he ran away.

I laughed and walked inside the Café. "Bonjour Madame, I am late, I know.", I said running over to her. "What are you doing here? You have the day off." "No, you said I should come back." "Go back to your bed buddy. Now. Have fun my dear. And don't forget to protect.", she yelled at me, laughing.

Madame was amazing. I walked back to Courfeyracs house and saw little Gavroche slip in the door. Goddamn it Gav....... I walked closer to the door and walked inside. Gavroche jumped on my back, causing me to fall. "Stay there thief!" "Gavroche, get off Emilia.", I could hear Courfeyrac yell.

"Oh Emilia, I'm sorry.", he said getting off me. "It's fine." Courfeyrac helped me up. "Courf, who was here last night?", Gavroche asked, yelling from the bedroom. "Gav, come down here." Soon the little boy ran down the stairs. "What were you doing in my bedroom?" "I was just curious and then I saw the pillow next to yours all wrinkled up.", he said.

"Gav, have you thought that maybe it was my head that wrinkled the pillow?" "No, because whenever you're alone, the pillow is normal.", he pouted. "Gavroche, it was me. I was staying here last night.", I said. "Do you love Courfeyrac?", he blurted out. Well, he wasn't wrong..... Courfeyrac blushed.

"Uh, yeah, as a friend.", I said. "I'm sorry that you got friendzoned.", Gavroche said, patting his back. "Where did you got that from?" "Grantaire.", he said. "I will kill that drunkard.", Courfeyrac said. I pulled on his collar, back into the room. "No you won't. Unless, you clean up. Also I don't want my best friend dead. You don't know what he's been through.", I explained and defended him.

Gavroche left us and now we were on our own. "What are you doing here anyway?", he asked. "I got another day off. Madame gave it to me." "That's nice of her.", he said. "I'm sorry for earlier. I mean when I said I loved you as a friend." "It's fine. I know you just said it so Gavroche won't tell anyone about it. I would've done it too."

"Why are you looking at me like that?", I asked. "Because you're beautiful. When you go to a museum, what are you doing?" "I'm looking at masterpieces." "So am I now.", Courfeyrac said, making me smile.

(A/N: this took me so long to write but it turned out pretty cute. Also drama is on its way: what do you think is going to happen in the next chapter??)
