    Summary

    “Wait!” Valjean very nearly shouted again, despairing. “You would have me bear witness to this?”

    His voice carried strangely, surrounding Javert where he stood upon the parapet, not quite an echo. It settled warmly in his chest, like sunlight on a spring day to his deciduous heart. He could not account for this feeling. It grated against his misery, teasing at something like hope in his own sorry breast. What a cruel trick it was, to try to steal his hopelessness.

    “I did not ask for you to be here,” Javert said, his own desperation beginning to bleed into his tone of voice. “You are free to leave me at any time.”

    “Surely you must know I cannot do that.”

    “Avert your gaze, then,” he said, near to a growl, “and let me be.”

    Summary

    “There is sand in your hair,” whispered Jean Valjean, threading his fingers into that great tangled mane, which felt incredible on a bad day, and on this one made Javert’s eyes roll back into his head, and his knees weak. He clung desperately to Valjean’s shoulders, and Valjean chuckled. “That always works on you.”

    “I suppose you have learned to press my buttons,” Javert breathed hungrily, and with great effort he pulled away from Valjean. “I think I must press some of your own.”

    And without another word, Javert sunk down onto his knees.
