mysunfreckle:

Les Amis as more things my fiancé has done:

• Enjolras: saw Local Youths kicking over trash cans (in the questionable neighbourhood where we first lived) and went downstairs to give them a lecture on Respect and Community Responsibility
• Joly: got up really quietly so as not to wake me up, heard me sneeze, barged into the room to say “bless you”
• Marius: politely rejected a girl coming on to him at a party and – when a friend gave him shit for it and mocked his reasoning of “I’m in a relationship” – drunkenly yelled out loud enough for the entire room to hear: “HEY, I’m gonna MARRY HER” (we were not yet engaged)
• Courfeyrac: dragged a shy friend who just found out she was a bisexual to a gay bar and spent the entire night setting her up with girls while having guys buy drinks for him
• Grantaire: trained our cat to ride on his shoulder and groom his hair
• Combeferre: took me to a science museum on our anniversary, spent most of his time explaining the Science to wide-eyed kids (and bewildered parents)
• Feuilly: was going to make “something to put the oven under”, ended up building an entire kitchen counter out of wood
• Jehan: early-morning gardening in his dressing gown
• Bahorel: dragged his co-workers into a running game of musical roulette where they play either Never Gonna Give Me Up, YMCA or It’s Raining Men at each other right when the other person is actually getting some work done
• Bossuet: travelled three countries over to visit a friend studying abroad who missed him, even though it completely derailed his thesis planning
• Bonus Montparnasse: taught the kids under his care at scouting which specific tools can best be used to dismantle (and steal) traffic signs
