*At school*

Thomas POV

James went to the nurse.

During class, I kept telling myself that it's my fault.

* at the recreation *

James puts his arm around Aaron. He and James sat on a bench. I saw Dolley heading towards James. I approach to hear them.

"James, are you all right?" She asks. James doesn't say anything.

"I know you do not want to talk to me, but ... I just want to know if you're fine," She says. James smiles at him and nods. She smiles at him and leaves.

* After classes *

James and Aaron went off together somewhere. I go back alone to my dormitory.

* Time skip *

The door opens, I hear it from my room.

"Aaron, put me on the floor, you're going to break your back," James says jokingly. Aaron smiled at him.

"Mmmh....no," Aaron says.

"Aaron !!!" James says. Aaron laughs.

"Thanks for accompanying me," James says.

"You're welcome Jemmy," Aaron says, trying to mimic my voice. James laughs.
The door closes.

The door closes.

Ring Ring!

"Hello?

"How did you get my number?" Asks James.

"Ah! My cousin, "James says.

"Yes, it would be nice if you come," James said.

"Au revoir," James says in French.

I leave my room and see James reading.

"James?" He sighs.

"What, Jefferson?" Asks James coldly. It hurts me when he calls me that.

"Are you still mad at me?" I ask him.

"Of course I'm mad at you now, because of you, I'll probably have crutches," James says. I feel bad.

"Thomas....I can't stand your jealousy, I think we should take a break," He says.

"Wh...What?" I ask. He can't do that to me ????

"I'd like to take a break in our relationship," James says.

"What??? Why? "I ask him outraged.

"I...I don't want to be with someone I always have to say where I'm going, where I am. I want to be able to go out, without see you get angry with you for any reason, " James says.

"I'm sorry, I'm...I'm going to change, please don't leave me," I say.

"Thomas, I'm not leaving you, I'm just taking a break," He says.

"Why?" I ask him.

"To take stock," He says. I don't want to lose it, not yet...if I lose it...it will be my fault.

He goes to his room and comes back with his bag.

"Wh....where are you going?" I ask, terrified.

"I have to go to Laf's dormitory to help him revise," He says.

Lafayette and James will be together. And I will be alone.

Ding Dong!

"It's surely him," He says. I decide to leave and leave him. I am who wanted our relationship to be strong, I broke it.

Lafayette POV

The door opens. James is here.

"Bonjour James," I say. I see him smile at me.

"Bonjour Lafayette," James says with an accent that I adore.

"Are you ready?" I ask him. He nods. He closes the door behind him. I notice that he limps.

"You're okay? What happened with your legs? "I ask him.

"Oh! I fell, don't worry about that, "James says.

I look at him confused, but nod. I take his hand and put it around my neck to help him.

"Merci," He says with a smile. I smile.

We go to my dormitory.

"Where is Herc?" Asks James.

"I asked him to leave," I say.

"Why?" Asks James.

"Uh...so we can revise." I say.

"He could have stayed," James says, pouting. I smile. He loves his cousin.

"We can sit here," I say. He nods. I help him and he thanks me.

He takes his affairs to help me better understand. He's too nice.

We start talking about math. He enlighten me on places that I did not understand. He made me diagrams and lots of little exercises for me to understand.

"So did you understand?" Asks James. I nod.

"Now English ..."

"I have an idea that could make us repeat English and French," I say.

"What is your idea?" Asks James.

"I tell you a word in French and you say it in English," I say.

"It's a very good idea," James says, smiling.

«Alors livre.»

«Book.» James says.

«Gentille.»

«Nice.»

«Aimer.»

«Love.»

«Toi.»

«You.»

I'm thinking.

«Euh...petit.»

«Small.»

«Grand.»

«Tall.»

"You are strong! I think it's good, mon ami, "I say.

"Merci," He says.

"Oh! I know you're going to say my name in full, "I say jokingly.

"No!!! I will never get there, "James says.

"But No, you will succeed. First of all, say Marie-Joseph. "

"Marie-Joseph." He says.

"Paul Yves."

"Paul Yves."

"Marie-Joseph Paul Yves."

"Euh...Marie-Joseph Paul Yves."

"Good. Roch Gilbert."

"Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert?' I nod.

"It's over?" He asks. I laugh and shake my head.

"Du Motier de La Fayette."

"du Motier de La Fayette....Marie-Joseph...Paul Yves...Roch Gilbert du Mortier de La Fayette." He says. I applaud. He gives me a cute smile.

* Times skip *

James and I do our homework. I ask him questions that I do not understand and he explain me gently. He is so kind. I finished my exercise and I just watch James. I look at his hair. He has small curls.

Without realizing it, I put my hand on his head and stroke his hair. His hair is...wait...but what am I doing ??? I look at him and see that he closes his eyes and smiles. He is so cute.

"Do you adore when I caress you?" I ask him. James laughs.

"Yes, I love when someone does that to me," he said with a smile. I continue to stroke him.

"You're so cute, mon amour," I say.

Merde!

"What?" Asks James.

"Uh...I said...you're so cute, mon ami," I say. I see that James does not believe me. He thinks.

"Did you say....my love?" Asks James. I shake hands.

"Non," I say, blushing. James laughs.

"You must have been wrong," James says. I force a laugh.

He looks at the time.

"I have to go," James said. I help him arrange his things.

He puts his bag on his back.

"How do you find Hercules?" He asks.

"He is a very good friend," I say. He smiles at me.

Do you want me to help you go to your dormitory ? He thinks.

"Don't you mind?" Asks James.

"Non." He smiles at me and puts his hand over my neck.

I help him to go home.

"Thank you Laf," said James, smiling. I smiled at him before he got the door.

He is too cute as a boy.
