What is your favorite kind of coffee? DD? Starbucks? Hipster cafe down the street??

Honestly, wherever I can find fair-trade and organic. Thankfully in New York, there isn’t a lack of that particular kind of coffee shop.

No, I asked the day I got back from my Grandfather’s because I felt it needed to be done. I don’t want to spend any more time than I must not being married to her. I’m certain, I’m one million percent certain, and I don’t understand why everyone has to second guess me on this, you and Eponine and just… I’m in love with Cosette. And I want to be married to her. I’m sorry if my personal decisions have upset you or anyone else.

—Give it four days time and maybe everyone will forget anyway. 

[notapollo]

I'm not upset Marius, really, I'm not. If you're certain this is what you want, then by all means. I'm here to support you. I'm sure everyone is and are more than excited for you.

[adoptedthepeople]

i am choosing to be supportive, just fyi.

[notapollo]

Oh.

[adoptedthepeople]

They’re both legal adults, they’re not hurting anyone, and Marius has been through more shit than any of us. I think he’s mature enough to have made a decision, don’t you?

[notapollo]

...Certainly.

[Sweats nervously.]

[adoptedthepeople]

i am choosing to be supportive, just fyi.

[notapollo]

Oh.

[rideepony]

AM I THE ONLY SOMEWHAT SANE ONE OUT OF YOU LOT BECAUSE I’M STARTING TO THINK I AM

[notapollo]

I’m perfectly “sane.”

[rideepony]

Don’t choke on the shit you’re talking, Blondie.

[notapollo]

Where is this hostility coming from.

[rideepony]

He’s going to get married at 20 FUCKING YEARS OLD…

[notapollo]

He seems very set on marrying Cosette. We can't really stop him, in the end.

[notapollo]

Marius you’re no longer a child—and I do not doubt you mean it well, but it still stands.

I only—care that you feel that you’re honestly making the right choice. Once you commit yourself to someone in that manner, you have to stop thinking about just yourself, but about the two of you and your future together.

[pontmariusus-blog]

Enjolras, I’ve been married before. I’ve been married before. 

Coming home has made me realize that I don’t want to spend any more time not being married to Cosette, because I love her and want to be with her forever. And you never know when things could just fall to pieces and you end up alone and regretting missed opportunities—

[notapollo]

There's a difference between regretting a missed opportunity and rushing into one that you could regret later. And I'm not saying that you will. I'm not trying to say that you and Cosette aren't meant for one another. Just be certain this is what you want Pontmercy. That's all.

--Beyond that, I'm glad for you both.

Did you give her a ring already? Did her father grant permission?

[notapollo]

[rideepony]

Don’t choke on the shit you’re talking, Blondie.

[notapollo]

Where is this hostility coming from.

[notapollo]

If I asked the same from you, you wouldn’t dare go without something for me. Don’t be that way Grantaire—regardless, I’d like to give you some sort of birthday present.

[bigfatr]

You don’t have to. Just a nice evening together is plenty. We could go out somewhere—well, maybe not a restaurant. I don’t want everyone knowing when it is. If there’s not gonna be booze then what’s the point of throwing me a party? [Strained laughter.]

[notapollo]

Isn't the company of your partner and your friends enough to warrant a good time without alcohol? [Strained smiling.]

[notapollo]

Isn’t she 19? I know someone is 19.

Don’t give me that Marius, deciding to marry someone is a very serious decision, you have to be certain without doubt and even if you think you want to be with Cosette for the rest of your life, you don’t really know if you want to be with Cosette for the rest of your life and also being with someone can be difficult and you need to prepare yourself to face those difficulties for better or worse are you really sure you want to get married—

[pontmariusus-blog]

Here we go again. I forgot I’m not as mature as you, right? That you can settle down with Grantaire whenever you want but I don’t have a right to make my own decisions regarding my love life—

[notapollo]

Marius you're no longer a child--and I do not doubt you mean it well, but it still stands.

I only--care that you feel that you're honestly making the right choice. Once you commit yourself to someone in that manner, you have to stop thinking about just yourself, but about the two of you and your future together.

[rideepony]

AM I THE ONLY SOMEWHAT SANE ONE OUT OF YOU LOT BECAUSE I’M STARTING TO THINK I AM

[notapollo]

I'm perfectly "sane."

[bigfatr]

[sighs] Fine—it’s February 25th.

Nah, I don’t want a cake or anything. I’m serious. It’s just another ordinary day, no reason to bother changing your schedule around it.

[notapollo]

If I asked the same from you, you wouldn't dare go without something for me. Don't be that way Grantaire--regardless, I'd like to give you some sort of birthday present.

[notapollo]

YOU’RE ONLY 19???

[pontmariusus-blog]

I am 20 years old, Enjolras. 

Age doesn’t matter anyway. There’s no age limit on love—

[notapollo]

Isn't she 19? I know someone is 19.

Don't give me that Marius, deciding to marry someone is a very serious decision, you have to be certain without doubt and even if you think you want to be with Cosette for the rest of your life, you don't really know if you want to be with Cosette for the rest of your life and also being with someone can be difficult and you need to prepare yourself to face those difficulties for better or worse are you really sure you want to get married--

[pontmariusus-blog]

Is now a good time to mention I asked Cosette to marry me—

[notapollo]

YOU'RE ONLY 19???

[notapollo]

you forgot grantaire's birthday you fucked UP (again) you CANNOT RE(DO)

[bigfatr]

Yeah, shocker, I’m old. Old as balls.

[notapollo]

My phone didn’t say anything, it usually notifies me of my actives and oh—when is your birthday? I don’t have it listed anywhere in here. I think I just don’t know…I’m sorry Grantaire. 

[bigfatr]

It was a couple days ago. [Shrugs.]

[notapollo]

"When" is a couple a days ago, exactly? I can’t believe you didn’t say a word to anyone.

[bigfatr]

Eh, ‘s not important. I don’t want a party anyway.

[notapollo]

The date of your birth is something very important to me. I could have at least made a cake.

With supervision.

[melancholicreverie-blog-deactiv]

Mardi Gras just isn’t the same up north.

#Why can’t it happen while we’re off for school?#Frowny face.

[notapollo]

It’s also colder up here, I don’t think people would be inclined to “celebrate” with this weather.

[melancholicreverie-blog-deactiv]

A shame…

You know, I don’t find myself getting homesick often… but this time of year is definitely an exception.

[notapollo]

I wish there was something I could to to help alleviate your homesickness.

[bigfatr]

Yeah, shocker, I’m old. Old as balls.

[notapollo]

My phone didn’t say anything, it usually notifies me of my actives and oh—when is your birthday? I don’t have it listed anywhere in here. I think I just don’t know…I’m sorry Grantaire.
