12 Days of Enjoltaire

Day 9: Cuddle Puddle

A/N: Happy Hanukkah to anyone who celebrates it!!

           The next day was the Amis Movie night. Courfeyrac was helping Combeferre prep snacks and Grantaire was tasked with keeping Enjolras off his foot.

"I can walk!" He argued.

"Just like you could ski?" Grantaire countered, crossing his arms. Enjolras just grumbled and stayed on the couch. The others showed up not long after and they started the movie marathon. They started with A Christmas Story and continued on, everyone piled up together on various couches and all of the blankets they owned were shared amongst them.

They continued watching until a pop sounded and all the lights went out. Feuilly sighed and offered to go check the breaker.

"It looks like there's a power outage," he said. "There's like three feet of snow already and a line down across the driveway."

"I think we've got some wood out back from last winter," Combeferre said, getting up and opening the fireplace. Feuily, Bahorel, and Cosette brought some wood in from outside and built a fire in the fireplace. They all settled back down and found something else to do. Combeferre was leaning against the couch, studying one of his textbooks while Courfeyrac rested his head on Combeferre's shoulder, petting Delphi gently. Jehan and Feuily were leaning back to back; Jehan writing a poem in their notebook and Feuily was snoozing blissfully. Bahorel was laying in front of both of them, listening to music with his eyes closed. Joly, Bossuet, and Musichetta were in a sleeping pile up next to the fire place. Marius was also fast asleep with his head in Cosette's lap while she braided Eponine's hair. Enjolras and Grantaire were cuddled together on the couch, Grantaire napping with his arms wrapped tightly around his boyfriend and Enjolras reading The Picture of Dorian Gray and playing with Grantaire's hair gently.

A few hours later, all of them were asleep, curled up with their friends or partners. Enjolras was the only one still awake and intently reading. Grantaire woke up and looked up at Enjolras sleepily.

"Good book?" He teased with a smile. Enjolras laughed softly and kissed his cheek.

"I'm almost done," he promised. "Ish"

"Oh bullshit," Grantaire retaliated with a laugh. "I know you. You said that you were almost done with Order or the Phoenix when you still had 500 pages to go." Enjolras rolled his eyes and closed his book.

"Fine," he sighed and cuddled closer to Grantaire. "You win."

"Yay," Grantaire smiled triumphantly and hugged him closer to his chest. "You're so cuddly in the winter," he pointed out with a grin.

"You're just very warm and it's cold out," Enjolras corrected but that didn't stop him from snuggling into Grantaire chest. Grantaire just laughed softly and closed his eyes again. Enjolras smiled and kissed his cheek before falling asleep himself.

The next morning, when Enjolras woke up, he had to pull Grantaire on top of him.

"Whas 'at?" Grantaire slurred tiredly as he woke up.

"Cold," Enjolras mumbled and sat up, rubbing his eyes but frozen suddenly. "R."

"What?" Grantiare asked again.

"There's a tree in the kitchen." There was a beat of silence before Grantaire responded

"What?"

"Grantaire!" Enjolras said again, getting up. "There is a tree that fell through the roof!" Grantaire sat up and swore loudly, waking up everyone else. They all noticed the tree a lot quicker than Enjolras and Grantaire and started shouting. Luckily, Enjolras and Grantaire we able to get everybody outside as they called their landlord. Enjolras was leaning against Grantaire's side for warmth and support.

"Great," he sighed. "So now what do we do?"

"You could move in with me," Grantaire suggested and Enjolras looked up at him in surprise.

"Really?" He asked with a smile. "You'd be okay with that?" Grantaire smiled and nodded.

"I've been waiting for an opportunity and I guess this is a pretty good sign and it's not a horrible idea."

"I think that would be a great idea," He grinned and kissed Grantaire softly.

Over the next few days, Combeferre and Enjolras moved all of their things out of their ruined house. Combeferre moved in with Courfeyrac and Enjolras finally moved in with Grantaire.

The first morning that Enjolras and Grantaire woke up together, Enjolras tired to get out of bed early to make them both coffee but Grantaire just held him close.

"Not yet," he groaned. "Too early." Enjolras laughed softly and kissed his cheek.

"That's why I'm making coffee," he replied. "You know, you're really grumpy in the morning." Grantaire just huffed and pulled him in closer.

"I don't care. I'm not letting you go."

"Is it going to be like this every morning," Enjolras asked with a laugh.

"Nope," Grantaire replied. "Is that a problem?" He teased.

"Absolutely not," Enjolras said with a smile and cuddled back up with him.
