[for jack]

Even if the news about Jack's dad and Luke's husband hadn't -- slowly but surely -- reached Grantaire, he'd have thought it was a bit too long since he spent time with the boy. Now that Jack isn't in the Children's Home, he's backed off a bit from seeking him out, feeling odd about being friends more with the boy than with his adults. Surely he doesn't really need Grantaire in his life, not with parents, and now that he's in school with friends his own age.
But he still stops by now and then, as the boy's like a little brother and seems to enjoy the time, and now that he's going through a sort of loss that Grantaire's all too familiar with, how can he stay away?
He stops into the bookshop, then, on a weekend, saying hello to Luke first, and heads through to find Jack. "Bonjour, petit," he greets him, holding out an arm to telegraph a hug before he gives one.
