"I bet you ten dollars that they're going to kiss within the next five minutes." I say to John.

"Deal." He agrees, and we shake hands.

Sure enough, Lafayette grows quiet and Herc whispers something that I couldn't quite catch before he leaned in and pressed their lips together. Instantly, Laf's arms went around Hercules's neck, pulling him close, and Herc's arms wrapped around Lafayette's waist.

"Hah, told you! Pay up." I turn away to give the two some privacy.

"John, stop staring at them." Burr hits John on the shoulder, making him turn and face the bar again.

"Alright alright, here you go." John hands me a ten dollar bill, and we exchange smiles.

Alex's POV (still) (idk thought I had to clarify)

After a few minutes of Aaron's and John's wolf whistles, Laf and Hercules pull away from each other.

Keeping an arm securely around Lafayette's waist, Hercules turned towards us and smiled sheepishly.

"Hey guys," He says casually.

"How long has this been going on??" John questions, jumping off his chair and stumbling towards the couple.

Before anything bad can happen, I swiftly pull John by the waist so he's standing in between my legs.

Leaning my chin on Laurens's head, I stare at the two, willing them to answer John's question.

"Not that long, actually, like, um, maybe five minutes? How long were we kissing?" Lafayette answers hesitantly.

"About five minutes, yeah." Burr tells them, smiling nicely. "Wait, wait, Alex has Laurens and Herc now you have Lafayette so who the fuck am I supposed to hang around while you two make out?"

"Call Maria," John drags out the A before realizing that Burr had called us a couple.

Quickly, John's head snaps up, staring at me as I move mine to look at him.

"Uh, no, um, we're not a couple." I say slowly, gazing at John's lips.

"Mhm, sure. Keep telling yourself that. Look, Alex, it's so obvious that you like him, and he likes you, so why aren't you two dating?"

I couldn't find the words to explain why John and I couldn't be official that wouldn't make me sound completely insane.

"Uh, yeah. I like him a lot." I decide to ignore the question. "Guys, I just got really tired all of a sudden..."

"Um, its, like, four in the afternoon." Lafayette tells me.

"Yep, I'm tired. Uh, late night last night." Good, nice one Alex. Only you would make that excuse.

"Oh, well, okay. See you." Instead of questioning me further, Hercules simply brushes it off and I couldn't be happier.

"Let me walk you out, okay?" John says, seemingly more sober than he had been ten minutes ago.

"Bye Hammy, see you in classes on Monday, we all know how much you love school." Burr taunts.

I shoot him the middle finger while dragging John outside, mumbling, "don't remind me," to myself.

"Did you drive?" John asks quietly.

"Um, no, I took a cab actually." I say, avoiding eye contact.

"Oh, okay."

"I'm going to call Mar to come pick me up, okay?" I say, already pulling out my phone to do so.

"Um, sure. Who's Mar?"

"Maria."

"Okay."

Finally, after calling Maria, I look at John, taking in his appearance in the daylight.

"You look hot in those pants." I blurt out, immediately covering my mouth with my hands.

John's face flushes as he giggles, pulling his long hair in front of his face.

"I like you a lot, you know." John says bluntly, looking at me intently.

John has never been one to speak out his feelings, he must be more drunk than I thought.

"Okay, John, I want you to go back inside and find Burr or Laf or Herc, have them call you a cab and bring you home. Sounds good?" I tell Laurens.

"But I'm sooo tired," John groans before collapsing in my arms.

Luckily, Maria pulls up not too soon after John passes out.

"What happened?"

"Many things. Take me to his dorm? I'll walk to ours after making sure he's okay."
