To be free.

Combeferre nodded, deciding that following Enjolras' suggestion was a good idea. As long as it was warm and comfortable, he was okay with it.

Enjolras held the door open. "Get comfortable, I'll get you a blanket, would you like some tea or coffee? A sandwich maybe? I was thinking I was going to get something for myself." He offered, out of habit.

"Maybe just some tea." Combeferre answered softly, he didn't feel like he had much of an appetite. He settled on the couch, setting his bag down on the floor and trying to relax.

"What kind? There's everything from some green tea Joly gave me to some.. lemon or similar. " Enjolras asked, before picking one for himself, settling for the green tea.

Combeferre considered for a moment before answering. "Lemon, please... If it isn't too much trouble."

"Coming up" Enjolras smiled slightly, preparing the tea for both of them. "Do you want it plain or with something in it?" He asked, moving on to making a sandwich as the tea was brewing.

"Just plain is fine for me." Combeferre replied, offering a small smile. He didn't want Enjolras to have to worry about him.

Enjolras brought him his tea, set it down in front of him and grabbed a blanket. "Here, you can use this, would you like to borrow a shirt too? There's probably something that'll fit. I'd gladly get you one." He said, then went to get his own tea and the sandwich, before sitting down by him.

Combeferre pulled the blanket around himself, grateful for the warmth it was providing him. "It's... It's okay, the blanket should be enough."

"The tea might help too, it'll warm you up, along with the blanket." Enjolras said, and took a sip of his own tea. "Let me know if there's anything else you want, anything at all."

"I will. I'm okay for now though." Combeferre reassured, taking a deep breath and trying to let himself relax.

"Alright, good. Can I get you some juice or something?" He offered, wanting to make sure that, even if he didn't eat, he was keeping hydrated.

"Juice sounds good. I'm pretty sure I've never had this much juice, but who cares? It won't hurt." Enjolras said, straightened up. "I should probably eat something too, but for now, it's all about juice, and things like it."

"It's good right now. Helps you keep hydrated but has some vague nutritional value." He chuckled, bringing over another glass for him. "It won't do you any harm."

"Pretty sure there are worse things I could be drinking, vague nutrition is better than no nutrition." Enjolras replied, with a smile. "I'll be honest, it's a go to when I don't feel too well."

"I'm glad to hear it. Vague nutrition is the best way to go if it's all you can handle at the time." He offered a smile. "Now, are you sure you wouldn't like some of this? It's pretty plain, you don't have to eat it all right now either. If not, I can always heat it up for you later."

"Yeah. It's all I can handle, and it's bad enough at the moment, I can't even consider eating that, I can't. I'm nauseous, and honestly? It takes a lot to keep this juice down, and uh... yeah, that food isn't going to." Enjolras said, made a disgusted face at the general idea. "You don't have to heat it up later, I don't want it."

"Alright." Combeferre reassured. "I know it's a lot right now, I'll just check in every now and then, but tell me if you do feel up to eating something at any point. Juice is good, but it's still not food and it's riskier to go without for too long than it is to risk not being able to keep it down. "

"Maybe something light. Like... well I don't know. I know juice isn't ideal. But... yeah. If food stays down it does. We can try later. I'm not looking forward to it though."

"I know, but it'll be okay, Enj. We'll find something easy for you to try. For now though, let's make sure you're as comfortable as we can make it."

"Yeah. Comfortable's... not happening. I'm nauseous, and the thought of eating is currently just disgusting me. It's possible that I'm nauseous because I haven't eaten anything for a while, but I'm not sure. Could be a side effect too." Enjolras said, with a shrug.

"Would you consider trying to eat something like a plain biscuit or some rice? It'll help work out whether not having eaten is making you nauseous." He offered, trying to think of the best solution.

"Something like it could work. Either of it could work, I don't care, it'll do anyway. Worth trying, it might help. Just a little, see if it helps the nausea a bit." Enjolras said, looking up at him. "It better work. This isn't fun, but it'll be better someday."

Combeferre nodded. "Rice might be a little gentler." He suggested, measuring out a cup of rice to cook for him. "I know it's not ideal, at least if we work out why you're nauseous we can deal with it."

"Rice will be fine. It's easy to eat. Better to eat plain than to eat something that just makes things worse, right?" Enjolras said, straightened up before standing up. "It's not gonna kill me at least" He joked, with a small laugh.

"It won't kill you, I'd be worried if it would." Combeferre reassured with a chuckle. "We'll see how it goes, yeah? Plain rice will at least be non-aggravating."

"Yeah me too, it'd be ironic, wouldn't it?" Enjolras replied with a laugh. "Yeah, we'll see, better to try and know than to not try at all. If it works, well, all good, and if not, it'll be fine either way."

"I mean the fact that you're managing to keep down juice is promising." Combeferre replied with a shrug. "I'd say it's likely nausea from not eating or the pain relief, based on that alone."

"Most likely pain relief, it usually has this side effect. Could be both." Enjolras said, sighed. "Whatever. It'll likely stay down. The juice does."

Combeferre drained the rice, then putting some into a small bowl for Enjolras. "Here, try this?"

Enjolras ate some of it. "Not so bad, actually." He said, and shrugged. "Thought it'd be worse, but it's good."

"That's good. Do you feel a bit less nauseous?" He asked, still trying to determine a cause for it. "Maybe if you're feeling up to it, we can go for a little walk later? Get you some fresh air?"

"A little, yeah." Enjolras said, ate some more. "A walk? Maybe later. I don't expect to be walking that fast, but air might be nice."

"We don't have to walk fast, I just think it'd be good to try get you moving around a little. It'll probably be exhausting at first."

"Well, I never liked sitting here doing nothing. It feels useless. I'll give it a try, just.. some air will be great."

"We could even drive to the park to take a walk?" Combeferre offered, figuring somewhere a little more peaceful than the street might be nice.

Enjolras nodded. "The park is better, it's more... calming." He said, finished the rice. "I'm up for it, though I'm not feeling like myself but, walks are normal. At least something is normal."

"That's alright, we can give it a try, no? Worst case, we just come home again." Combeferre encouraged. "Either way getting some air will be good for you."

"Sure. I'm up for a slow paced walk. It doesn't hurt too bad right now, and I really would want to. It'll be good, because it's air, and if it gets too much, there's probably a bench or something to rest on." Enjolras replied, stretched slightly. "It's not a sharp pain, it's not like it was at first, it's just, unfortunately, there everytime I breathe in, and it's mostly just uncomfortable."

"Yeah, even a little walk to a bench where we can sit for a while." Combeferre agreed, offering a smile. "If it gets too much let me know, we can top up pain relief."

"Yeah. Just get out for a while should be nice. It'll be good in the end. Even if it ends up being a walk to a bench." Enjolras replied, and stood up. "It's fine, I'll tell you if that changes."

Combeferre nodded, relieved that Enjolras had agreed to tell him if anything changed. "Let me get you a jacket? It's pretty cold out."

Combeferre nodded, deciding that following Enjolras' suggestion was a good idea. As long as it was warm and comfortable, he was okay with it.

Enjolras held the door open. "Get comfortable, I'll get you a blanket, would you like some tea or coffee? A sandwich maybe? I was thinking I was going to get something for myself." He offered, out of habit.

"We could even drive to the park to take a walk?" Combeferre offered, figuring somewhere a little more peaceful than the street might be nice.

"You don't need to fix anything." Combeferre shook his head, "I'm just saying, you're a very good person, Enj. The best of us."

“You just said that you think I’m too good for you… of course there’s something to fix, I don’t want you to think that, it’s terrible”

"I just mean that you're a good person... It's hard to compare. I think you deserve so much good in the world, and I worry that I can't be enough."

Combeferre nodded, deciding that following Enjolras' suggestion was a good idea. As long as it was warm and comfortable, he was okay with it.

"Alright, good. Can I get you some juice or something?" He offered, wanting to make sure that, even if he didn't eat, he was keeping hydrated.

"Juice sounds good. I'm pretty sure I've never had this much juice, but who cares? It won't hurt." Enjolras said, straightened up. "I should probably eat something too, but for now, it's all about juice, and things like it."

"It's good right now. Helps you keep hydrated but has some vague nutritional value." He chuckled, bringing over another glass for him. "It won't do you any harm."

"Pretty sure there are worse things I could be drinking, vague nutrition is better than no nutrition." Enjolras replied, with a smile. "I'll be honest, it's a go to when I don't feel too well."

"I'm glad to hear it. Vague nutrition is the best way to go if it's all you can handle at the time." He offered a smile. "Now, are you sure you wouldn't like some of this? It's pretty plain, you don't have to eat it all right now either. If not, I can always heat it up for you later."

"Yeah. It's all I can handle, and it's bad enough at the moment, I can't even consider eating that, I can't. I'm nauseous, and honestly? It takes a lot to keep this juice down, and uh... yeah, that food isn't going to." Enjolras said, made a disgusted face at the general idea. "You don't have to heat it up later, I don't want it."

"Alright." Combeferre reassured. "I know it's a lot right now, I'll just check in every now and then, but tell me if you do feel up to eating something at any point. Juice is good, but it's still not food and it's riskier to go without for too long than it is to risk not being able to keep it down. "

"Maybe something light. Like... well I don't know. I know juice isn't ideal. But... yeah. If food stays down it does. We can try later. I'm not looking forward to it though."

"I know, but it'll be okay, Enj. We'll find something easy for you to try. For now though, let's make sure you're as comfortable as we can make it."

"Yeah. Comfortable's... not happening. I'm nauseous, and the thought of eating is currently just disgusting me. It's possible that I'm nauseous because I haven't eaten anything for a while, but I'm not sure. Could be a side effect too." Enjolras said, with a shrug.

"Would you consider trying to eat something like a plain biscuit or some rice? It'll help work out whether not having eaten is making you nauseous." He offered, trying to think of the best solution.

"Something like it could work. Either of it could work, I don't care, it'll do anyway. Worth trying, it might help. Just a little, see if it helps the nausea a bit." Enjolras said, looking up at him. "It better work. This isn't fun, but it'll be better someday."

Combeferre nodded. "Rice might be a little gentler." He suggested, measuring out a cup of rice to cook for him. "I know it's not ideal, at least if we work out why you're nauseous we can deal with it."

"Rice will be fine. It's easy to eat. Better to eat plain than to eat something that just makes things worse, right?" Enjolras said, straightened up before standing up. "It's not gonna kill me at least" He joked, with a small laugh.

"It won't kill you, I'd be worried if it would." Combeferre reassured with a chuckle. "We'll see how it goes, yeah? Plain rice will at least be non-aggravating."

"Yeah me too, it'd be ironic, wouldn't it?" Enjolras replied with a laugh. "Yeah, we'll see, better to try and know than to not try at all. If it works, well, all good, and if not, it'll be fine either way."

"I mean the fact that you're managing to keep down juice is promising." Combeferre replied with a shrug. "I'd say it's likely nausea from not eating or the pain relief, based on that alone."

"Most likely pain relief, it usually has this side effect. Could be both." Enjolras said, sighed. "Whatever. It'll likely stay down. The juice does."

Combeferre drained the rice, then putting some into a small bowl for Enjolras. "Here, try this?"

Enjolras ate some of it. "Not so bad, actually." He said, and shrugged. "Thought it'd be worse, but it's good."

"That's good. Do you feel a bit less nauseous?" He asked, still trying to determine a cause for it. "Maybe if you're feeling up to it, we can go for a little walk later? Get you some fresh air?"

"A little, yeah." Enjolras said, ate some more. "A walk? Maybe later. I don't expect to be walking that fast, but air might be nice."

"We don't have to walk fast, I just think it'd be good to try get you moving around a little. It'll probably be exhausting at first."

"You don't need to fix anything." Combeferre shook his head, "I'm just saying, you're a very good person, Enj. The best of us."

"Alright, good. Can I get you some juice or something?" He offered, wanting to make sure that, even if he didn't eat, he was keeping hydrated.

"Juice sounds good. I'm pretty sure I've never had this much juice, but who cares? It won't hurt." Enjolras said, straightened up. "I should probably eat something too, but for now, it's all about juice, and things like it."

"It's good right now. Helps you keep hydrated but has some vague nutritional value." He chuckled, bringing over another glass for him. "It won't do you any harm."

"Pretty sure there are worse things I could be drinking, vague nutrition is better than no nutrition." Enjolras replied, with a smile. "I'll be honest, it's a go to when I don't feel too well."

"I'm glad to hear it. Vague nutrition is the best way to go if it's all you can handle at the time." He offered a smile. "Now, are you sure you wouldn't like some of this? It's pretty plain, you don't have to eat it all right now either. If not, I can always heat it up for you later."

"That's good. Do you feel a bit less nauseous?" He asked, still trying to determine a cause for it. "Maybe if you're feeling up to it, we can go for a little walk later? Get you some fresh air?"

"No- It's- I'm okay." Combeferre replied softly, gladly accepting the jacket. He held it close, not making a move to wrap it around himself.

"Is something going on?" He said, carefully adjusting the jacket slightly. "That should warm you up a bit. You're not getting sick are you?" He asked, gently, still letting the concern show.

"I don't think- I don't know." He answered honestly after a moment, he didn't feel great, but he couldn't pinpoint the reason either. "I just feel cold... and tired, but it's okay. Don't worry about me, I-I can stay for the meeting."

"I'll try to get the heat up in here as much as possible. But, honestly Combeferre, go get some rest. Just for a bit, okay? No one's here yet, and when they come, they'll understand." Enjolras said. "We can call the meeting off, just until you're feeling better"

Combeferre shook his head, trying to dismiss the concern. "There's no need, really... I'll.. I'll be fine." He didn't really feel fine, but sitting there quietly at least wasn't making him feel worse.

"You look like someone who hasn't slept for months. Combeferre, the meeting can be delayed. No one will mind, and if you don't want them to know, we can make something up." Enjolras said, clearly not convinced. "I'll take you home, to me, okay?"

"You're not going to back down on this, are you?" Combeferre asked softly. Considering a moment. He didn't want to disrupt but he knew Enjolras wasn't going to stop worrying.

Enjolras shook his head. "No, I'm not. While the meetings are important, it's also important to me that everyone is okay. I'm calling it off because you're obviously not, and it's a priority at this point. I worry about you." He said, admitting his concerns. "I can't force you, and I won't, but it might be what's best for you right now."

Combeferre have a small nod, in truth he didn't think he was entirely okay. He could push through the meeting, but he knew it would bother Enjolras for him to try do so. "Okay..." He agreed softly. "We can go home."

Enjolras stood up, gathered his things, but let Combeferre keep the jacket. "Come on then, the sooner you get somewhere comfortable, the better." He said, picked his bag up from the floor, placing it over his shoulder, before carefully putting some papers away in it. "It's best for you, in the end."

Combeferre slowly stood up, he felt shakier than he had before. He took a moment to steady himself before standing fully upright, and nodding to Enjolras to signify that he was ready to leave. He hadn't unpacked anything from his own bag.

Enjolras began leaving, but took it slower than usual, waiting to see that Combeferre was okay. "It's a good thing it's not far. We'll take it slow, just let me know if I'm walking too fast or something, okay?"

Combeferre nodded, pulling his back over his shoulder and taking a deep breath to steady himself before starting to follow Enjolras. "I'm okay... Really, we needn't walk slow on my account."

Enjolras nodded. "If you're certain." He replied and walked slightly faster. "Exhaustion's not too good but at least it's easy to fix." He said.

Combeferre pushed himself to keep pushing forward and matching his pace, he didn't want to worry Enjolras more. "Yeah.. I think I just need to sit for a while. I don't feel great."

"Do you need to slow down?" Enjolras asked and slowed down, just a little. "We're almost there, you can just sit for as long as you need. It'll help, I think."

"No- it's.. ah.. It's okay." Combeferre reassured, continuing to push forward to the best of his ability. "I'm okay."

"It's just a little further and up the stairs. I'm not sure this was a good idea, may have been better to just stay behind, but done is done." Enjolras replied, looked at Combeferre. "For what it's worth, I'm sorry for making you leave."

"It's alright." He sighed, shaking his head. "You were right that it'd be better in the long-run, I think." Truthfully, he was a little glad, he was starting to feel worse and the idea of sitting down somewhere warm and not having to move at any specific point was appealing.

"No- It's- I'm okay." Combeferre replied softly, gladly accepting the jacket. He held it close, not making a move to wrap it around himself.

"Is something going on?" He said, carefully adjusting the jacket slightly. "That should warm you up a bit. You're not getting sick are you?" He asked, gently, still letting the concern show.
