#hi im marius pontmercy and this is jackass *suggests to a group of revolutionary queer youth that they dress up like cops*#w bahorel

Well... y-yes, but, I mean it doesn't have to be solely firemen. Maybe we could have, like, a police officer, or something!

Has anyone considered making one of those... you know, those calendars for the group? I just really feel like it would be a great way to raise funds.

A kink? I think I can help with that.

I was actually referring to a horrid knot I've got in my back, but if you'd like to focus on other knots, I'd be... y'know, okay with that. More than okay. [flushes dark red]

#w courfeyrac

#lesmisrpgstarter

turning page // Enjolras and Marius

Whatever it was he might have been about to say to explain his gesture was forgotten when Marius leaned over and kissed his cheek. There was a disappointment he could understand by now that lingered in his chest when Marius pulled away, encouraging a frown to settle on the blond’s face. "No. Not quite." he spoke as he moved, taking hold of the collar of Marius’ shirt so that he might pull him down to kiss him ‘properly’. "More like that. Let chaste gestures not be mistaken for disinterest or mere friendship. This has far surpassed that realm." Upon saying ‘this’, Enjolras rest his hand over his heart, hoping that gesture would be understood.

Marius made a small noise into the kiss before relaxing into it, and when Enjolras pulled away to break the kiss he followed him for a moment before blinking and righting himself, a slow look of comprehension and affection breaking out over his face.

"I... all right. We can... yes, I'd like that. Or, I mean, I'd like to try, anyway." He smiled at him and leaned forward to kiss him back solidly.

"—you slept with him on our couch. Being just a friend to us both is literally not even an option, Marius." Enjolras couldn’t help but chuckle, rolling his eyes, arms folding across his chest. "Even if I said I was uninterested, you and Courfeyrac—? It’s like you two are magnets. I’m not going to ever request that you be pulled apart.” he shrugged, glancing down at his feet.

Marius’ gaze didn’t unnerve him, no. Honesty never did. But he needed to think properly and staring up at said freckled one’s face would—well, it wasn’t going to help him think about this rationally.

"I—hmmm. I’ll be honest and admit that I had never considered myself in a relationship with even one individual, so polyamory is an entirely other discussion. But it’s one I’m willing to have.” he trailed off, losing the fight with a smile. “I mean, naturally—well, alright. Not naturally. I don’t know. But I’m not—yes.”

Another pause.

"I mean, yes to—" he gestured to Marius here, irritated with himself when he felt his cheeks heat up because he didn’t know how to word this. Was he supposed to say ‘yes, please know that you are more than welcome to be romantically invested in myself and my boyfriend and adding the title of boyfriend to your name is definitely something I am okay with let’s break the news to Courfeyrac after I kiss your stupid face’?

#w enjolras #para #turning page

Mulling over the magnets comment in his head, Marius couldn't help but let a small, soft look rise to his face, smile turning up at one corner. It was sort of true, when he stopped to think about it, and he supposed it was stupid of him to be surprised at all by the romantic side of Enjolras anymore, after what he'd seen of how romantic and caring the man could be to those he cared about. He nodded slightly, even though Enjolras wasn't looking.

"Yes to...?" Marius echoed him, heart thudding loudly in his chest. He thought he already knew the answer, and they weren't standing very far apart at all, so when he stepped forward to brush his lips against the high part of Enjolras' cheek, it was more leaning in than anything else. He stayed right there for a moment, mouth barely touching Enjolras' skin but just close enough that he could nearly feel whatever stilled the air between them, and he felt his face warm, so he pulled back. "Yes to that?"

It had been the chastest of kisses, but Marius' attention was wholly focused on searching for something in his eyes that might mean he'd understood him correctly.

The smile was gone. But, his expression wasn’t—upset. There wasn’t much of anything on his face, to be honest. He was just, kind of…watching him. Head tilting, lips pressing into a thin line, brow furrowing, his face slowly changed to something that was either thoughtful, confused or a combination of the two.

Need.

What a silly notion. Needing another human being. A few months ago, Enjolras would have dismissed it as unhealthy and unnecessary. But, that was a few months ago and this was now. And he understood that sentiment, no matter how silly it was. Every person on the face of the earth needed someone. Sometimes, they needed several someones, and sometimes it was hard to balance all of that need.

Enjolras had opportunity to make all of that work, though. He knew, somewhere in that supposedly brilliant mind of his, that it could work. He was allowed to have them both. Had they not made that clear the first time they had—

Oh, there he went. Thinking of himself as the third party. The outsider. The one that had stepped into their world. He had to stop doing that.

"—I see. If…if that is what…" he cleared his throat, standing up a bit straighter. "That is what you want? Some sort of—polyamorous relationship? I understand that you are…you are in a relationship with Courfeyrac, are you not? By default that—that would almost require us to be in one, as well. Sharing without also being attracted to the third party is…it wouldn’t work. We aren’t concubines without a choice, so the fact that we are still living tog—I need to stop talking.”

For a moment his breath was caught in his throat, and Marius could only stare at Enjolras, not fully comprehending but having latched onto the gist and therefore, he was suddenly filled with foolish hope. "Yes, that's... what I want." Confused still, he chewed on his bottom lip. "What do you want? Because no, I'm not... I'm not in a relationship with Courfeyrac. As much as I might like to be, I am not in an official relationship with either of you at the moment, and you shouldn't feel like you have to offer me polyamory if you wouldn't normally want that for yourself. And in addition, I seriously doubt Courfeyrac would be opposed to it, but we would still have to ask him before embarking on anything... like that."

Hesitating, Marius took the chance, and stepped closer, gaze honest as he repeated himself. "Enjolras, what do you want? We don't have to default to anything. Just-- what would you like, ideally? Would it be simpler for you to stay with Courfeyrac and for me to remain here as a friend to you both?"

We’re the same height, though…?

Yeah, but, it's not your height I mean, it's your level of dorkiness.

Also, [picks up his hand and holds it up against his own hand pointedly]

I could wax about a great many things, if you would prefer a change of topic. Perhaps to wax upon the moon, or upon the seal of a letter, or even beneath the surroundings of a flickering light in the dark. [grins because punny]

You huge dork-- [cuts himself off with laughter]

Okay, good.

You know, when most people get high, they tend to babble about nonsense or sex or something. You literally just waxed philosophy at me. [grins affectionately]

Freedom of will and freedom of action are two very different things, mon ami, and while you lack the freedom of will to change the fact that you are special now, you possess the freedom of action to influence your specialness in the future. In the past you were special, and your specialness and lack of changing events to make you not-special means that you are special now. You can only change the individual future if you influence individual action to the extent that individual will is affected. Understand?

Yeah, I-- that makes a bit more sense, yes. We learned something like that in one of my classes.

We have not the undeterministic freedom of action that we suppose we do - we may be held liable for our actions as human beings and yet it is our choices that lead to our choices and those choices to other choices and so you are always going to be special just as you always have been - if you choose to not be special something must have happened to determine that choice and though you may be held liable for it you are still as of this moment right now special because determinate truths are determined by determinate choices and points such as your specialness and how you’re special - if you were special then you are special now because you were special then and also nothing has happened to make you not special, do you understand?
