         Really? Are they going to fight over Halloween
         costumes now? It’s like they’re children, with this
         level of competitiveness, and yet Grantaire is
         laughing, grinning, because it’s playful, rather than
         them ripping each other apart at the seams. When
         was the last time Enjolras let go and had fun? Had
         he ever acted like this around Grantaire? Somehow, 
         he doubted it.
 
                  “—Oh, don’t worry, he will.” The words are
                   entirely too confident, considering he has
                   no idea what he’s going to wear, and yet
                   Grantaire can’t turn down the challenge.
                   Should all else fail, he’ll find a way to be a
                   sexy fire truck - that’s what Enjolras had
                   suggested, right? Well, maybe not, but—

                                               ”Wait, there needs to be rules.
                                                     No getting Courfeyrac’s help.”

                In his head, Enjolras has
             carefully substituted ‘he’ with
             'I’ and it helps, brings about a
             certain smugness to his features
             as he runs through the list of
             costumes he’s worn before. It’s
             not a long list. And it also says
             much of his imagination or lack
             thereof that he cannot think of
             anything beyond them.

                                   He’s about to offer a hand,
                                to shake on it, as it were but
                                then Grantaire speaks up and
                                Enjolras needs a moment to
                                wipe the despair off his face.
                                “Fine. No getting help from
                                Joly or Boussuet either.” He
                                pauses. Thinks back to some 
                                of Grantaire’s old costumes.
                                Compares it with his own—-

                     "No repeats.“
