Hmm. I’ll push my demiromantic Grantaire agenda, where he definitely takes note of how physically attractive people are, but he has absolutely zero desire of dating them because the thought simply makes him cringe.
And then Enjolras comes along, being the fucking gorgeous man he is but also taking the time to befriend both Grantaire and his cat, making poor, unwitting R fall head over heels for him. Listening to Enjolras’s stupid yet admittedly funny jokes and watching him laugh at Grantaire’s is everything he has ever dreamed of, and he doesn’t want to ruin their friendship, but he takes his chance.
Their dates mostly consist of cuddling on the couch and sharing a blanket while watching shitty period dramas and occasionally making out before Marshmallow interrupts them with a paw to Enjolras’s face. And before Enjolras can kiss Grantaire again, Grantaire starts rambling about the awful costume choices and how they’re not even accurate. Most importantly, Enjolras hangs onto every word like they’re meaningful to him.
