Chapter Text
"Hush, you must be quiet," Grantaire whispered into Courfeyrac's ear as he groped at his trousers.
Courfeyrac grinned, arching up slightly. "No one shall be able to hear me over the wailing of William Tell."
Grantaire smiled deviously, nipping at the sensitive spot underneath Courfeyrac’s ear. “I should hope, though I’m sure the sounds you make shall be more lovely than Tell’s angst over Switzerland.”
“I believe it is ennui,” Courfeyrac responded.
Grantaire started to undo the trouser flap of Courfeyrac’s fine dress pants. “And what is the difference between the two?” Grantaire asked, wrapping his hand around Courfeyrac’s cock. “For is there not angst in ennui? The idea that someone could find something boring is the biggest cause for angst in life.” Grantaire continued to pump his hand and clasped Courfeyrac’s chin in between his fingers, turning it toward the stage. “Even if I am not in the business of revolution, even at my most nihilistic times, I find that there is very little to be bored with. I can always find someone to share my bed with.” At this Grantaire changed his grip, moving his hand a little faster.
Carl un chien sat quietly beside his owner, focusing intently on Arnold’s confession of love for Mathilde instead of the strange noises his pet was making. Carl sneezed, knocking his opera glasses off of his regal snout. He looked up at his charge and saw that his head was thrown back, his hips arched, and more importantly was not looking at him. He considered pawing at the Monsieur’s trouser leg but it would require moving from the plush footstool that he had brought so Carl could enjoy the opera.
Carl’s sensitive hearing in this case was a blessing and a curse. He might not be able to see more than monochromatic blurs on the stage, but he was able to hear them. Unfortunately he is also able to hear the one with the strange lilt to his voice. It also seems to reach a pitch that is particularly obnoxious to Carl’s ears.
Carl would make sure to do his business on the man’s leg the next time his pet invited this unsuitable companion.
