p r e v i o u s l y:

He's so fucking cute. "Oh, fuck it." And then my lips are on his. I kiss him slowly, basking in the kiss, before reluctantly pulling away. This isnt right. John whimpers and I move my head away from his.

I look at John and take in his beauty. How can one human be so gorgeous? John murmers, "pretty eyes," before his eyes close.

I wince as I realize that I just took advantage of him. He was drunk, too drunk for his own good, and yet I kissed him.

Hopefully when he wakes up he will have forgotten all about today.

I walk around John's dorm room, equally cleaning and looking at his belongings. He obviously didn't share his dorm as the first room only had a few couches, a TV, and the kitchen, rather than in Maria and I's which had another room off of the main room, making it smaller.

I stroll around, organizing papers and putting cups in the dishwasher.

I pass through the bathroom and into John's room. I'm kind of being a stalker, but he'll never know.

I walk over to his bed after examining the pictures on his cork board (mostly of him with Herc and Lafayette). I sit on the bed and look at the awards hung up on the wall. Damn, this kid is smart.

Something crinkles from under me after I lean to see the plaque above the bed, and I pull out a sheet of paper that looks like it was ripped out of a notebook.

All I read is the ending line, "Always and forever, Laurens" before I place the note back on the bed, somewhat angry.

"Gosh Alex, you're such a hypocrite."

John's POV:

My head is pounding when I wake up. It's still dark outside, what time is it?

"It's three am," A voice says, answering my unvoiced question.

I slowly turn my head towards the other couch, taking note of the clean dorm, before my eyes land on the one and only Alex.

"Alex," I breathe, gazing at him. I try to get up and end up tripping because of my headache, landing in the arms of Alexander.

"Oops," I say with a giggle.

"Hi," Alex responds, smiling at me.

"How long have you been here? Oh, god, were you here when I was drunk??"

Alexander laughs and tells me, "I got here when you were drunk, I put you on the couch and got you a glass of water and then... And then you fell asleep. While you were asleep I cleaned your dorm. Sorry, but I do that when I get mad."

I gasp. Had I done something to make him mad?

"Oh gosh, what did my drunk self do to make you mad?? I'm sorry you had to see that."

"It was nothing that you did... You drunk is actually kind of cute." He mumbled the last part, but I heard it.

I shake my head and get off of him, walking to the bathroom to wash my face.

"Hey, John?" Alex calls, making me open the door to hear him.

"Yeah?"

"We kissed. Last night, I kissed you and I don't know why. Can you forgive me for taking advantage of you? I feel really bad."

I suck in a deep breath at this. Why is he telling me? He could easily pretend it never happened.

I smile and shut the door, choosing not to respond.

Alex's POV (sorry for no Maria or something that'll come soon)

The four minutes that John spends in the bathroom are spent with me pacing. What the heck am I supposed to get from a smile??

Is he mad? Does he hate me??

Finally, the door opens, revealing a pissed off-looking John Laurens.

"Did you... Did you read this?" He holds up the crumpled letter from earlier and I instantly shrink back in fear.

"I didn't, John, I swear. All I saw was the last line, and then I-I crumpled it up and threw it on the floor." I tell him truthfully, putting my hands up in the air.

He sighs in relief and uncrumples the note, reading through it and sighing again.

"Are you going to send it?" I ask hesitantly.

"Probably not. There's others, but I'll never have the nerve to mail them." He says, seemingly nervous.

"If you don't mind me asking, to whom are they addressed?"

"Um, someone. Anyways, back to the thing from before."

I frown. John feels like he can't tell me things? Am I really that untrustworthy?

Alex, you can't even trust yourself, of course you're not trustworthy.

"What thing?"

"The... The kissing thing."

"What about it?"

"How did it happen?" John asks, looking at his feet.

I motion him to come closer and stand up from my seat.

"Okay, so you were there," I point to the couch and he lays down, just like earlier. "And I was here," I kneeled down in the exact position. "And you said something cute, and bam, it happened." I explain how it went and then went to stand up.

There was only one thing stopping me from getting up, and that was John's hands on my collar, and his lips on mine.

Maria's POV: (told you it was soon) (lol u guys prolly hate me)

"Aaron, I just don't understand why anyone, not just you, would like me."

"Maria, you're gorgeous, for one thing. I'm sure you know that, but you are. You can wear anything and rock it. Your confidence is amazing, and you always know the right thing to say at the right time. You're funny but it's not annoying, you're sensitive but it's not annoying. You're basically perfect, so the real question is why would anyone not like you?"

A slow smile spreads across my face. "Well, for one thing-"

"Don't even. Don't deny any of that, it's all true and you know it." Aaron cuts me off with possibly the sweetest thing ever.

The exact moment that I called Aaron sweet was when I realized something.

I like him.

From his laugh, his smile, his voice, the way he can flirt without blushing and he can keep up with our banter. I like Aaron Burr.

"What?" Aaron says, looking at my eyes.

"N-nothing. Did I say something?"

"You said I like something something."

"I, uh, I like someone. But it took me a while to realize that."

"Oh. Then you should tell them how you feel." Oh Aaron, so naive.

"But how?"

"Just say, hey, I like you." I smirk.

"Hey, I like you."

"Good, now go, go say it to him."

"I just did."

"What? How? Is there some new technology out there that-" I cut him off by pressing my lips to his.

After I pull away and take in his face, I tell him, "I like you, you idiot. I like you. A-a-ron."
