If Shen Qingqiu were straight¹ right now, he might have caught on to Enjolras' discomfort and backed off, given him the space. Unfortunately, he's very gay² right now, so he just smiles up at him from his laighing slump--not moving closer, but definitely not moving away, either. He wrinkles his nose. "Very bad fiction," he says. "About, um." He squints. "Do they know about vampires? In your Paris?"

That one book about lady vampires is from France, right?? He should know this. Now that he's gay.

¹Sober.
² High.
