General Summary: Grantaire has seen Combeferre drunk, but due to the circumstances, can't tell anyone.

Not that anyone would believe him. 

Author’s Note: This was a prompt fill for Combeferre and the word "capernoited," meaning "slightly intoxicated or tipsy" done back on 12 October 2013.


"Has anyone even seen 'Ferre drunk before?" Bahorel looked around the room at the stragglers who had stayed behind after the meeting.

Feuilly and Jehan shook their heads and shrugged their shoulders.

"R? You’ve gotten pissed with pretty much everyone. You seen him drunk?"

Lifting his head from the table, but not his eyes, Grantaire shrugged noncommittally.

"No."

It was more a testament to the alcohol in his system than anything else how easily the lie slipped from his lips. Then again, he thought, he could probably have been completely honest and it wouldn’t have mattered - who would believe him anyway?
