12 Days of Enjoltaire

Day 5: Christmas Party

A/N: I was thinking of doing a time skip for the next one so let me know what you think of that idea

           After getting teased mercilessly but the other Amis, Enjolras and Grantaire settled into an adorable relationship. Grantaire met Enjolras at the Cafe Musain in the morning and they'd hang out until one of them fell asleep (usually Enjolras, but he won't admit it). A few days after they got together, Enjolras sent him a text that he wouldn't be able to meet him that day because he had a project to start with Marius. Grantaire sighed and texted Eponine to see what she was doing.

R: Hey, wanna hang out today

Ponine: Enjolras is busy isn't he

R: ... yes

Ponine: That's sad

R: Hey! 😒

Ponine: I'm going holiday shopping if you wanna come

R: Sure!

A few hours later, Grantaire was walking around the mall with Eponine. She had already gotten gifts for most of her people and was just looking for something for Cosette. Grantaire had found some things for the others and was looking for Enjolras. They were wandering for a half hour until Eponine stopped suddenly, causing Grantaire to walk head first into her.

"Was there a reason for that or just to mess with me?" he huffed and looked over at her.

"It's perfect," she said softly, looking at a necklace with a small rose gold dove charm. Grantaire's expression softened slightly and he followed her into the store. As Eponine bought her necklace, Grantaire wandered around the store. Nothing stuck him as very Enjolras. He looked at a few bracelets, a couple pins, even a necklace. But still, nothing. When Eponine finished, Grantaire followed her out in a sulk.

"What kicked your puppy?" she asked teasingly. Grantaire just glared at her.

"I've got nothing for Enj," he sighed. "Nothing! He's my boyfriend and I've known him since I pushed him in a lake when we were 5! You've been dating Cosette for what, six months and you found the absolute perfect gift."

Eponine sighed and shook her head. "R, that's fine that you can find a gift," she promised. "I mean, sure, I know Cosette and I got lucky. You could steal his jacket, wrap it in tin foil and give it to him and he'd still love it. He loves you not the things you get him."

Grantaire smiled at her as they left the mall. "Thanks, Ponine," he sighed softly. "Hey, I can't do any worse than when I told him I was moving after I kissed him."

"You have the weirdest love life," Eponine said shaking her head. It was Grantaire's turn to stopped suddenly and Eponine ran into him.

"Hey! Okay, fair enough. Eye for an eye and all that," she huffed. Grantaire punched her arm playfully but smiled brightly.

"I have an idea."

On Christmas Eve, the amis were gathered at Jehan's apartment (were there was indeed, many hanging pieces of mistletoe). They were making gingerbread houses when Grantaire and Eponine finally showed up.

"Well, it's going to be a white Christmas," Grantaire huffed. "With at least two feet of snow and growing." Enjolras laughed softly and kissed his cheek when he came in the kitchen.
