What type of food did people bring to parties?

        Enjolras numbly went throughout the supernmarket multiple times with an empty cart. His eyes glanced at the wine selection nervously. Sure, he drank alcohol ,but he never actually picked what he drank. Besides, he didn't know what type of wine said I'm-Sorry-For-Calling-You-A-Drunk-Forgive-Me? 

        He finally settled for chips, pizza dip, soda, and of course, chocolate chip cookies. He decided he would just grab a wine from Combeferre. 

        "Grantaire, do you have any beer?" At this, everyone laughed along with Courfeyras as Taire tossed him a beer. The doorbell rang an Grantiare slightly elbowes his way to the door with a bright smile. The open door revealed a beaming Marius,with his girl friend, and another,older man. 

        Not questioning it, Grantaire happily invited them in while smirking at Marius.

        "Eh, what did I tell you,lover boy?" Marius sheepishly smiled as he introduced the gorgeous blonde next to him and her father. 

        "Oh yes, Papa got me the airplane ticket back here,to France, since he has benefits with the airport.Sadly I'm leaving tomorrow. I thought it wold be nice to pop in and surprise Marius." Cosette smiled softly at Marius as his face got red. Grantaire chuckled at this.

        Eponine soon arrived afterwards with a stern lecture for Grantaire about not answering his phone but soon embraced him a hug. She tugged his scarf in a teasing matter.

        "You're not going to turn out all hipster on me,right Nick?" Grantaire grinned and shook his head.

        "I should probably not tell you about my secret instagram and Tumblr."

At this, Eponin laughed and hit his shoulder playfully. 

        "Yea,yea,okay R."

The apartment was happily occupied with all it's jolly merry makers. Jehan and Combeferre were cuddled on the couch watching tv while the some of the others were participating in Spin The Bottle. Grantaire was about to join when Jean Valjean grabbed his arm. He looked up at the older man's face with a confused look on his tan face. 

        " You might want to take some of these bottles outside before your neighbors think you a drunk," Jean Valjean mused. Grantaire faintly smiled but bowed his head in agreement.  Grantaire and Jean Valjean put on their jackets and started to go outside with wine and beer bottles in bags. The chilly air greeted them and nipped their noses. 

        Jean Valjean clenched his muscles slightly and frowned. Taire paused with a small frown.

        "what's wrong?"

"Hm, oh nothing. Just thought I heard something." Grantiare nodded at this as opened up the recycling bin. There was only one street light across the street that offered light. Suddenly, Jean Valjean turned to Grantaire. 

        "I know this is not your issue, but is Cosette safe with Marius? Are they happy?" Jean valjean looked at grantaire with a hopeful gaze. Grantaire gave one of his easy smiles and shrugged. 

        "From what I can say, they are happy."

Jean Valjean nodded as if agreeing with Grantaire and then patted his shoulder.

        "Good, thank you."

 At that time Grantaire's phone rang and he fumbled to pick it up with his numb fingers.

        "Uh, Grantaire?"

        "Who is this?"

"It's uh, It's Enjolras."
