The Les Mis Anon Kink Meme, Round 4

Mar 25, 2013 18:08

Since LJ seems to have finally capitulated to the Russian government and is now subject to Russian anti-obscenity laws, I'm not going to take a chance on sudden deletions. The Les Mis kinkmeme now lives at https://lesmiskinkmeme.dreamwidth.org/. (Round 4 here.) Everything has been backed up there. The LJ kinkmeme will stay up, but is now closed to ( Read more... )

"How do you suppose they'd spend their coin, were I to give it to them?" Grantaire asked from the doorway.

Enjolras spun and stared at him, his face open with shock, then burning bright again with anger.

"And how do you suppose they'd cart it about, given their current physical limitations?" he continued.

"That's a poor excuse," Enjolras snapped. "They do work for you. They deserve to be compensated. It's no business of yours what they do with it once the money changes hands."

"They are my friends," Grantaire said quietly, scratching a claw against the class bottle. "Their lives are, in fact, my concern."

Enjolras rose from his knees onto his feet in one smooth motion. He stalked toward Grantaire, his hands balled at his sides, his jaw set. "If you believed what you said, you'd pay them a living wage. If you cared about their lives you'd give them back pay for all the years they've worked here uncompensated. Or maybe--" He stalked forward, into Grantaire's space, pushing him back with the sheer force of his presence. "--Just maybe, instead of letting them suffer this fate on your behalf, you'd find a way to fix it."

"I can't," Grantaire snarled. He should have known better than to come here, to let himself be drawn into this debate. He had never been a careful drunk and the implication now that he let his friends stay this way because he couldn't be bothered to do otherwise sent the wine coursing hot through his veins. The bottle creaked within Grantaire's fist, then shattered, spraying the rug with broken glass and red wine. Enjolras flinched back from it and gave Grantaire a baleful look, as though he'd done it on purpose.

Joly hopped upright and scooted over to the edge of the bed next to the other two. They both leaned over the edge and looked down at the mess.

Combeferre sighed. The ticking of his hands sounded an awful lot like a clucked tongue. "I'll go get Feuilly to sweep this up." He hopped off the bed and skirted around the edge of the mess, giving it all a distasteful grimace.

Combeferre followed him out with a mumbled excuse. Joly was the last. He eyed the shattered glass uncertainly before deciding to skirt down the bedpost to the floor, rather than risking the jump. Grantaire thought he heard him sigh and say to Enjolras, "He's not so bad, you know," before he hopped out after the others.

Enjolras just stared at Grantaire, his expression set with the same fury that Grantaire had seen there at every meal for the past week. It had been a nice change, he thought with a sigh, to see him animated, at least for a moment.

"Dinner will be served in an hour," he said shortly, and stalked out of the room before he could hear Enjolras's retort.
