In which Bahorel tells Enjolras to c’mere, lemme show you a thing your boyfriend’ll love, proceeds to grab Enjolras by the neck and shotgun him a a smoke, and Enjolras in turn passes that breath to Grantaire~
Shotgunning is sexy, alright?
They’re the two most obvious idiots on the planet, Bahorel thinks, as he watches Grantaire light up another cigarette and Enjolras stare at him, captivated. Bahorel doesn’t understand how they can be dating and still completely oblivious to each other.
“Why don’t you just, I don’t fucking know, ask him for a cigarette?” Bahorel asks, nudging Enjolras in the side. Enjolras scowls, and looks at Bahorel disapprovingly.
“I don’t want a cigarette,” He explains, turning back to watching Grantaire. Bahorel rolls his eyes so hard he thinks he might break the tendons, because seriously.
“Oh, for fuck’s—” Bahorel say, before shifting slightly. “C’mere, lemme show you a thing your boyfriend’ll love.”
He takes in a deep lungful of smoke from his own cigarette, then grabs Enjolras by the back of the neck and pulls him in. Enjolras makes a surprised sound, inhales, and Bahorel takes that opportunity to exhale, straight into Enjolras’s mouth. Enjolras clues in enough to not choke and start coughing, though, and he breathes in seamlessly instead. Bahorel is almost impressed.
Bahorel can see Grantaire staring at them, completely fucking confused about why his friend and boyfriend are kissing and he’s not involved.
Bahorel pulls away, laughing, and Enjolras looks confused as to what he’s supposed to do next. Which is pretty typical, really, and obviously Bahorel has to do fucking everything for these two losers. He grabs Enjolras by the shoulders, nods towards Grantaire, then turns him and shoves.
Enjolras, breath still held, steps towards Grantaire, who still looks completely lost and confused. He looks like a kicked puppy, and Bahorel thinks it’s kind of pathetic, except then Enjolras is pulling Grantaire in and kissing him. Bahorel can tell when Enjolras exhales, because Grantaire’s eyes flutter closed and he goes from surprised to melting into the kiss, hands coming up to tangle in Enjolras’s hair.
Then Grantaire’s head tips back, breaking the kiss and he breathes out, smoke curling lazily from his lips and disappearing into the air. It’s not bad, Bahorel thinks, since it started from his cigarette.
They’re kissing again, Enjolras’s hands curled in the red plaid of Grantaire’s shirt, and they’re pressed together. They’re in their own world, Bahorel’s cigarette is done, he takes that as his cue to leave and go find a bar.
Except as he rolls his shoulders and grabs his lighter from the table, Grantaire’s hand snakes out and catches him. Bahorel looks up, eyebrow raised and he’s met with Enjolras’s fierce, but unreadable, expression and Grantaire’s smirk.
“You offering?” Bahorel asks, a lazy smirk to match Grantaire’s, though he flicks his gaze over to Enjolras to make sure. He nods, ever-so-slightly.
“You accepting?” Grantaire counters, and Bahorel runs his fingers through his hair, as if actually weighing the pros and cons, before he grins, cat-like, and drops the lighter back onto the table.
