Enjolras had spent the better part of the evening settled on a chair in the back room of the cafe Musain. In front of him sat an unopened letter that he had half a mind to return to sender. But for some reason he did not. Instead, he fixated on a map he was marking up with a neat script. Beside this map was a candle that was already halfway burnt through and a relatively untouched cup of coffee.

He could hear footsteps in the distance but he paid them little mind, after all this was a cafe and patronage was good for business.

[t0daysgoneby]

Grantaire made his way into the Musain's backroom. "Good day, Apollo." He said, bowed, in what appeared to be mocking, but was not. He took a swig of his wine bottle, and sat down by Enjolras.

"What are you working on?" He watched him, quietly sat back sketching.

[quel-horizon]

He looked up upon hearing an all too familiar voice who was probably here for the sole purpose of getting a rise out of him or just for the sake of chaos. "Did you need something?" He inquired, his tone even and he hid his annoyance well enough.

He let out an inaudible sigh as he lowered his pen. "it is for the cause. I have heard from some groups throughout the city who are willing to help." He remained vague but still truthful.

[t0daysgoneby]

"I did not. But you are having a meeting for the oh so noble cause are you not? That is what brought me here." Grantaire noticed the letter, and rose to pick it up. "And what is this? Something from a mistress?" He asked, held the, still unopened letter in his left hand, the bottle set on the table.

The whole point was to get a reaction, and he suspected it would, but set the letter down after a moment. "Is it all about the cause for you? Have you never considered that it will, likely, result in nothing at all? That you, and your efforts will be forgotten? Lost to time."

[quel-horizon]

"I am. But it is not until tomorrow evening. Tomorrow morning however, if you must know, I will be meeting with the Craftsman's union on behalf of our cause." He paused, his eyes lit up and a hint of a smile pulled at his lips. "Have faith." There was another pause and his expression neutralized. "Or are you incapable."

Upon closer inspection, one would see that the letter was addressed to the Marquis de Aquitaine. He stood up and swiftly snatched the letter out of Grantaire's hand. "You are insufferable." He seethed and stuffed it in his pocket. "And this is no business of yours."

[t0daysgoneby]

"I believed you were having the meeting tonight. I must have been misinformed." Grantaire said, but in reality was well aware it wasn't until tomorrow. "We both know I have no faith, but you have enough faith for both of us. Do you not?" He grinned, watching the other.

"Not a mistress. Why so secretive, Apollo? Who is it you are writing to? A lover, perhaps? I will not tell." His tone was curious now. "Being insufferable is one of the things I take great pride in, Apollo. That, and being curious by nature. Life is too short to leave things undiscovered. Live a little." He said, held up the bottle to toast. "Come on, you may not be a drinking man, but I firmly believe that you need to.. lose some seriousness. Have some fun. Smiling will not kill you, Apollo."

[quel-horizon]

He paused, considering that he may have his days messed up. As much as he would not admit it, he'd been finding himself plagued by insomnia which in turn made everything else more difficult. "No, it is certainly tomorrow." He replied.

He exhaled, "I would appreciate it if you did not call me that." He reminded him, dodging the question. "My mistress is Patria. I have not time for any matters of the heart." There was another pause. "There will be time for fun after." Enjolras was not anti-fun but he did find it difficult to enjoy himself when there was so much suffering. How could he smile when there were children starving outside their very window.

[t0daysgoneby]

"And yet, you are here. And, coincidentally, so am I." Grantaire spoke, with a smile. "Very well, Apollo. What would you have me call you? Sweetheart? Darling? My king?" He was mocking now, and had no intention to stop calling the other 'Apollo' anytime soon.

"And still, you do this for love, Apollo. Is it not love for all the people out there who is bringing you to do all this? You cannot say it is not an act of love. That-" He paused, reached out to move the papers, as he moved closer. "That you do not love your fellow country men, women, and children, enough to be willing to sacrifice yourself for it? Will it be worth it, Apollo? Will it change anything at all?"

[quel-horizon]

"Yes, I see that." He said, his tone unamused but it also had a hint of weariness as he felt his own patience wearing thinner by the moment. Until it ran through.

"I do. I love my country, the people, the principles of the revolutionaries before us. I have already laid down my life for them and will continue to do so. And you..." He seethed. "What do you love. You love nothing that can't be found at the bottom of a bottle. Tell me. What have you found there other than the bitterness of your own failure." His eyes flashed an icy blue that matched the harshness of his words. "A life without hope is a life without meaning"

[t0daysgoneby]

"I love enough, Apollo. I understand love. I assure you, I know love. Not just from what my bottles contain." Grantaire stated, took in the words, and if they stung, he made no comment on them. "There are plenty of things one can find in bottles, Apollo. It does not have a bitter taste." He stated, and to prove that point, took a swig.

"I may not understand your cause, nor believe there is hope for our world. Do not mistake it for being incapable of love, Apollo. I love, but I cannot have what I love. For what I love, does not love me."

[quel-horizon]

He let the other speak. This was different from Grantaire's usual drunken tirades. And it completely subverted the blond's expectations and for a moment he did not know what to say.

So he did not say anything. At least not yet. Instead he fiddled with a loose strand of his hair, a nervous habit that made him seem more human. He opened his mouth but no words came out. So he tried again. "Perhaps you should sleep it off." He said cautiously, deflecting his own discomfort. His tone had softened a touch.

[t0daysgoneby]

Grantaire watched him, then shook his head. "Sleep here?" That would hardly be the first, or the last time, and it was tempting,even if he did live nearby.

He took a seat at one of the tables, set the bottle, now mostly empty, down in front of him, rested his arms on the table, before resting his head against them, the position awkward, and looked anything but comfortable. It'd make his neck hurt, but he had had worse. "If I did not know better, I would say that sounded like care, Apollo. But we both know you care not for the likes of me." His tone was a bit bitter, but regardless, he was relieved that the one person he could say he loved, let him stay. Even if Enjolras would never know how he felt, because he would never have time for matters of the heart, as he had said, Grantaire was perfectly content to just admire from a distance.

[quel-horizon]

Enjolras shook his head in disapproval. "No." He said firmly wondering if the other was being serious. This question was answered when Grantaire started to make himself comfortable. "Go home and sleep it off." He corrected impatiently.

His gaze was cast down to the letter he'd almost forgotten about and he quickly stuffed it in his pocket, to avoid it falling into the wrong hands. "I have love for Patria. And I care deeply for her people. Even the pitiful drunks. But don't mistake my care for approval." His last words were probably more mean-spirited than they should have been. But the truth did hurt.

[t0daysgoneby]

"Let me stay. I ask nothing more. I will be quiet. Let me stay, Apollo." Grantaire said, looking up at him, pleading now. He did not want to leave. Couldn't.

"I am aware you do, Apollo. I am not asking for your approval, but I want your care. Desire it." Grantaire's expression shifted, something almost like sadness on his face for a split second. "Is it not enough that I have faith in you? That I admire you?" He was being honest, the wine slurring his speech ever so slightly.

"Can you not let me admire you? I am content with admiring from afar."

[quel-horizon]

Enjolras felt a deep level of discomfort. He was never comfortable with being put on a pedestal whether it be for his looks or his ideology. It made him feel as if he were too close to nobility. A life he left behind for plenty of reasons. The same life he did not want his friends to know about. That would be disastrous.

He felt he truly had two choices, the first was to push back, shut down and lock the man out. The second was to ignore it.

The blond pondered both, his posture demonstrated how truly uncomfortable he felt. "I am not a god to be worshipped nor a relic to be admired." He retorted coldly, putting his walls up. "I am not a worthy cause."

[t0daysgoneby]

"You may not see it as such." Grantaire stated, head back against the table, eyes closed. He wouldn't leave either way. "Can you not let me enjoy company? I have no desire to be alone tonight."

It was the honesty of a drunken man, a tired drunken man, who had let all guard down. "I cannot go home, Apollo. I cannot be alone tonight. May I request company?" He closed his eyes again.

"I never said you were a relic."

[quel-horizon]

"It is not a statement of self loathing. My self esteem is fine." He countered. "I as an individual am no greater than any other man." He was still uncomfortable but he was not going to make a scene. As loquacious as he was in meetings, on a personal level he was a quiet and rather private person.

"I asked you thrice now not to refer to me as a god." He repeated coldly. "If you cannot respect that, then tell me why I should entertain your request?"
