what would grantaire do when ferre is feeling dysphoric?
i’m glad you asked cause I shit you not, i had a dream about this recently! (nb grantaire btw)
Grantaire is very big on destroying gender rolls, but when Ferre feels dysphoric, all that shit is out the window. If Combeferre wants to do all the typically manly things, he can
this means the two of them walking around in boxers. only boxers. Combeferre sometimes wears a shirt, but normally he wears a binder with his boxers
Grantaire goes overboard with the nicknames. for example: “Hey baby boy, you want some food?” “mcmanly, what movie do you wanna watch?” “how’s the most handsome man on planet earth doing’
Combeferre doesn’t feel like he has a low enough voice, so Grantaire keeps his voice as high as he can to put it in comparison
The two of them go out an get hair cuts, it’s really therapeutic and helps Ferre feel more masculine
Grantaire shaves their beard because Ferre struggles to grow one so they show him you don’t need a beard
they also wear a lot of feminine things to put ferre’s masculinity in contrast
Grantaire makes sure that Ferre binds safely, and gives him extra attention when he has to take the binder off
they try to distract ferre with movies and just fun things to keep his mind off of it
at the end of the day, Grantaire cuddles up to their boyfriend and holds his boyfriend in his arms as they fall asleep
cute R and ferre are cute
