for the ship questions or whatever it was: enjolras x grantaire
this would be taking place in (more accurately, after) my modern au, because why the hell not
and because this is easier in a modern au
(also this takes place in chicago !)
Who cooks: (assuming they aren’t ordering out) Grantaire, because Enjo is usually too busy and would forget to eat otherwise.
Who does the laundry and other chores: Enjolras, because he prefers some semblance of order in the house, though Grantaire refuses to let him clean R’s studio. (and that’s totally because of the subject of some of the paintings oops)
How many children do they have: none, but they, and the rest of Les Amis have unofficially adopted Gavroche and Azelma
Who’s more dominate: i’m going to answer this as if it doesn’t relate to sex, okay. Enjolras, because even if he doesn’t mean to be at all dominating, Grantaire is (and probably would continue to be) terrified of losing Enjolras.
Favorite nonsexual activity: Grantaire likes to paint Enjolras (and Enjo doesn’t mind because it means it’s quiet, and he can get work done), but they both like to watch movies, and Grantaire lets Enjo pick out the movie ever time because as long as he gets to cuddle with his Enjo (and wow is he always amazed that he can), he really doesn’t care what’s on the screen.
Their favorite place to be together: Those early morning hours, when the sunlight is still golden and the curtains are half open, and whoever wakes first can spend those few in-between minutes just watching the other sleep, because no matter how angry they were, or how many arguments they got into, it’s those little, golden moments that remind them how much they really do love each other.
Any traditions: I don’t know if this would be a tradition, but they try to have at a least one sit-down meal together a day.
Their “song”: Grantaire secretly think of it as whatever stupid pop song was playing in the cafe when he announced that he was 30 days sober, and Enjolras looked at him, smiled, and said “I knew you could do it.”
What they do for each other on holidays: Both of them say they don’t want any gifts, but they both get each other a gift anyway, and secretly they’re both really happy about that.
Where did they go for their honeymoon: they are not married (yet)
Where did they first meet: Buckingham Fountain, while they were both in their final year at college (Enjolras at UChicago, and Grantaire at the Chicago Institute of Art). Grantaire was doing caricatures to earn a little extra cash, and Enjo was passing through with Combeferre and Courfeyrac, and Courf decided “hey let’s all do caricatures, it’ll be FUN!” Their first meeting wasn’t all that important though, it was their second meeting that actually mattered. Bahorel (who was a few years older than Grantaire, but had know him since they were kids) accidentally introduced them, and Enjolras basically just said “aren’t you the drunk caricaturist?” and Grantaire just drank more, and ended up coming to all their meetings.
Any pets: Does Gavroche count as a pet? They have Grantaire’s dog (see, this post) that Enjo pretends to hate, but secretly gives scraps to.
What do they fight over: They used to fight about Grantaire’s drinking (and this was before they Seriously Got Together), but then Grantaire got sober (and he checked himself into rehab to do it; going “i’m actually going to be responsible now” the little fuck). Now they just fight over normal couple-y things, and occasionally Grantaire or Enjolras says something Completely Out Of Line, and those are the biggest arguments, but they happen less often than before Grantaire got sober.
Do they go on vacations, if so where: They went on a road trip once with everyone (it took three cars), but that was insane, and they never did that again. Aside from that, they don’t really travel, except for the occasional visit to Grantaire’s sister, and once, to visit Enjolras’ mother. (Many, many years later however, they travel around the country on the campaign trail, okay)
