"And...you're not going to say anything? About before?"
His eyes tracked the apple and then stayed on Enjolras' lips when it left his mouth.

*Some apple trickled down his chin, so he reached up to wipe it away.*
"Are you?"

"Not if you don't want me to."
He hoped Enjolras wouldn't go into something about choosing and whatnot--this was a little different. There were two people and two sets of choices involved.

*He looked very hard at the table; wood grain was suddenly a lot more interesting.*
"Bella's left me, you know. We're 'formally estranged,' as her solicitor writes."

"I'm sorry, Enjolras...I won't pretend I know how you feel."

"We haven't been close for a long time." *He said, not sadly, but as if it were a fact.*
"I'm just... confused, right now, I think. I don't know the answers to questions I thought I was sure of." *And they weren't all Grantaire-related.*

Grantaire nodded. He could understand that, at least.
"I could leave a while, if you want me to. I have a little money from--I have enough to maintain my flat and feed myself."

"No, don't leave." *He looked up at Grantaire, looking rather more vulnerable than usual.* "There are just some questions I can't answer. Not yet."

"Alright--I only meant to give you some time, is all. But...I'll be more than happy to stay."
He wanted to lean over and kiss the dear man's clear forehead, just to reassure him. The motion's intentions were clear, but he stopped short.
"Um. That probably wouldn't help, would it." He chuckled a little.

*Enjolras shrugged, meeting his eyes.*

He smiled a little, since the man was so damned infuriatingly vague, and leaned in to plant the chaste little kiss anyway.
"I'm here if you need anything. Just say, or in your case...gesture somehow." He said, still with good humor.

*Enjolras rolled his eyes.*
"Quiet, you." *He mock-commanded, but there was a smile playing around the corners of his mouth.*

Grantaire smirked and sat back, holding up his hands defensively
"Alright, alright, I'm shutting up."

*Enjolras took another bite out of his apple.*

The little man reached out and snatched the fruit out of his hand and spun around so he couldn't get it back, taking an exaggerated bite out of the thing.
"Haven't eaten anything today and I couldn't take watching you stuff your face anymore!" He said, with his cheek bulging.
