Nobody really knows how Enjolras and Eponine met, they just did, and now they're together, that's it really.

But Combeferre believes it was him, he knew Enjolras from the squad and was a regular customer at Eponine's bakery.


"Well wasn't that something," proclaimed Courfeyrac. The fire they had just put out had started as a small one but within minutes had caught up to the rest of the building.

After 40 minutes and nearly all the men of the on the squad they had finally been able to put it down.

As they piled back onto their truck, #41 or as they liked to call her, Musain. They were all exhausted and some (Grantaire) were almost about to pass out.

Enjolras their leader looked around the truck as they headed back to the station. His team had done well today but days like these were his least favourite, fires like these tired the boys out and the normally cheerful group was all now fighting to keep their eyes open.

He could tell that once Combeferre got back he would take the first even semi-edible thing he could find and shove it down his throat, he looked starved. They all did.

So he asked the group if they wanted to take a quick break to a café for food and was met with grunts of approval.

Enjolras quickly racked his brain trying to think of places they could go, it had to be somewhere close to the station for sure. Chief Valjean though a kind man, hated when they were late.

Combeferre saw Enjolras thinking intently to himself and raved about a bakery he had found a couple weeks ago.

"No seriously guys this place is amazing, it makes the best pastries in town, and it's right around the corner from the station! Can we go please? I'm craving their eclairs so badly!"

No one argued, they were too tired and trusted Combeferre, he knew his pastries.

"Oh and the girl at the counter is pretty hot too."


Thursday nights were far from 'exciting' or anywhere close to be honest. Eponine thought to herself. Considering closing up an hour early. Seriously, no one would be coming anyway, besides it was just her and Cosette now and the other girl deserved an early break.

The bell on the door awoke her from her thoughts.

Great, more people to serve.

As long as it gets the money to Gavroche, she reminded herself.

She was greeted by an odd sight, firefighters. 5, 6 of them, all piling in. They looked out of place with their oily skin and smoky scent in her little white bakery.

But she immediately recognized Combeferre, he was a regular in the mornings, a sweet guy who always came with a smile on his face. He was now accompanied by his crew. They were all tall and muscular and rugged but one stood out to her the most

The tall man with blonde hair and blue eyes that the others seemed to walk around, he looked like their leader.

"Eponine! Thank God you're still open! We just came back from a fire and it was CRAZY anyways I'll spare you the details but let's just say that we're all starving and looking for something sweet, think it's ok if we sit for a while and eat?" Combeferre asked as he leaned against the counter, his eyes silently pleading.

"Of course 'Ferre, now, the usual for you? What about your friends?"

Various shouts came from the group, asking for croissants, cupcakes and other pastries.

Eponine quickly wrote down their orders, and headed back to start making them. As she walked away she couldn't help but steal a glance to the man from earlier, he was absolutely gorgeous. Tall, muscular and had the most amazing eyes.


Enjolras slid into one of the booths near the back, all of them crammed in and took a moment to breathe and relax, looking at the TV. But he couldn't concentrate, not after seeing the woman at the counter. She was breathtakingly beautiful, from her warm chocolate eyes to her hair and everything in between.

He wasn't much for women or relationships, the boys liked to tease him about it relentlessly but there was something about the girl that he couldn't get enough of.

Then suddenly she was at their table, carefully placing all their orders in front of them, she was with another smaller girl with long blonde hair, who seemed to have caught Marius' eye, he looked like he had just seen the most beautiful thing in existence and suddenly Enjolras was self conscious that he looked the same.

Shaking his head he focused his attention on his food. The danish pastry was with a doubt the best Enjolras had ever had, it was absolutely delicious. After all the boys were done eating he sent them back to the truck, offering to pay the bill. He didn't mind as long as he got to talk to the girl, Eponine, his friend had called her.

"Thank you for the food, it was delicious," Enjolras said, genuinely.

"It was my pleasure, anything for Combeferre, he's a good guy," Eponine replied, smiling.

"What time do you open in the mornings? I think I'd liked to stop by here before work," Enjolras inquired, trying to seem as casual and nonchalant as he could.

"We open at 9, I'll see you tomorrow then," Eponine said, fighting hard to control the smile that was spreading across her face.

He was going to be here, tomorrow, she would see him again.

The next morning he appeared at 9:20, true to his word, they started talking as she wrapped up his food. That was the start of a new tradition. Everyday at 9:20 he would come in through the door, he would order the same thing and Eponine would always happily make it for him.

Soon they became friends and both unbeknownst to the other fell harder and harder in love.

Till' one day after constant forcing from literally all the boys in the crew he finally asked her out. Eponine's heart had never beaten so fast.

They could talk for hours and hours without stopping, they would talk about anything and everything they could. They grew closer and closer.

And that's how they ended up the way they were. Dating for almost 2 and a half years, living together and happier than most couples any of the boys had seen.

Combeferre swears that this account is the right one. Promises that this is how Enjolras and Eponine first met.

But Grantaire begs to differ…
