~Alex~
I woke up in John's bed and saw us cuddling.

Ever since I got here I haven't slept without cuddling John and I kinda like it...ok I really like it.

I felt really sick but I needed to go to class so I got up.

"Jackie, wake up." I started getting out of bed.

"Nooo." John pulled me back down still half asleep.

"Jackie we have classes today."

"I just want to stay home and cuddle." John pouted still holding onto me.

He's more cuddly than usual...

I felt his forehead. "Jackie, you're burning up, do you feel sick?"

"Yeah." John nodded.

I hope it's not the same illness my mother and I got, I don't want us to-- no Alex, stop! It's probably just a fever.

"Ok well, I'll get us both medicine, email your teachers and tell them you won't be in today, and then get ready." I tried getting up again but John wouldn't let me.

"Nooo, I wanna cuddle." He whined

I thought for a second. "Than how about I also email my teachers and we have a sick day?" John nodded. "Ok, well you need to let me go so I can get to my laptop." He reluctantly let me go and I went to my laptop to email our teachers.

Hello, this is Alexander Hamilton. I'm emailing you all to tell you that John Laurens and myself will not be attending class today as we both have a fever. We will return to class as soon as the fever has passed. Thank you for understanding.

~ A. Ham

I went back to John's bed and he immediately cuddled me. "Don't get up again."

"Ok." I cuddled him back.

My phone dinged so I grabbed it from the nightstand next to the bed.

W: hey son are you and John ok

A: 1.) don't call me son 2.) yeah just a bit sick

W: ok hope you two get better soon

I put my phone down and tried to go back to sleep but soon there was knocking on John's door. "Go away!" John whined.

"Are you ok mes amis?" (My friends) Laf walked in.

"We're fine, just a little sick," I said.

"Are you staying home?" Laf asked.

"Mhm." I nodded.

"Ok well just so you know, John gets kinda clingy when he's sick."

"I found that out already."

"I'm not clingy! I just wanna cuddle." John said and started falling asleep.

"Whatever you say mon ami. Herc and I have to go now but we'll see you after classes."

"Bye." Laf left and I heard the front door close so I assumed him and Herc left.

The door closing woke John up. "Where'd the baguette go?"

I giggled a little at his nickname for Laf. "He left for class with Herc."

"Oh...ok."

~Time skip~

I tried getting up. "Where are you going?" John pouted.

"I need to pee, don't worry I'll be back." I kissed the top of John's head without thinking. Before I left for the bathroom I saw John blush.

Good job Alex, now the guy you like probably thinks you're weird.

~John~
Alex kissed the top of my head and I knew I blushed.

Why did he kiss my head? Does he like me? Or was it more of a friendly kiss?

While I was busy mentally freaking out Alex went to the bathroom. When he finished he went right back to cuddling me.

Someone knocked on the door so Alex got up and I whined but Alex just chuckled. "My suffering is not funny."

"It's a little funny." He started walking away.

"Wait." I grabbed his wrist.

"Hmm?" He turned to look at me.

"Get down." He kneeled down so we were eye level. I kissed his cheek and he blushed. "Now you can go."

"O-ok." The person knocked again. "Coming!" He hurried to the door.

Why did I do that? I'm so stupid! He probably doesn't like me like that and now I just ruined our friendship. But why did he kiss my head? Is it possible he likes me? No, of course not!

I sat there mentally fighting myself while Alex talked to whoever the person at the door was.

~Alex~
John kissed my cheek and I blushed.

Holy shit! Does he like me? Probably not...but then why'd he kiss my cheek?

I hurried to the door after the person knocked again. I opened the door and saw a couple that I've never seen before, they looked like they were in their mid to late forties.

"Hello? Can I help you Mr. and Mrs...?"

"I'm Peter Jefferson and this is my wife, Jane. Would you happen to know my son, Thomas Jefferson, or a Marie-Joseph Paul...something-something something Lafayette?"

"I know both of them and Lafayette lives here, why?"

"We need to speak to them, it's a family matter. Where are they?" Jane said.

"They're in class right now, Laf should be back in..." I checked the time on my phone. "Any minute now. Would you like to come in and wait for him?" I stepped aside and let them in before we sat down on the couch

John walked in with a blanket wrapped around himself. "Who are these people?"

"We're Peter and Jane Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson's parents," Peter said.

"I don't mean to sound rude but...why are you here?"

"They're looking for Laf and Jefferson."

"Laf should be back soon--" John was interrupted by Laf and Herc walking through the door.

"Hello, mes amis!" Laf hugged John really tight and started jumping around.

"Laf! I'm gonna puke on you!" John shouted.

"Oh sorry mon ami, I forgot you were sick." He stopped hugging John.

"Why is he so excited?" Alex asked.

"Laf got to make some French food in his cooking class," Herc said.

"Are you Marie‑Joseph Pa--" Peter was interrupted by Laf.

"Oui, but please just call me Laf or Lafayette." He smiled. "And you are?"

"I'm Peter and this is my wife Jane, we're Thomas Jefferson's parents. Your parents were looking for you and Thomas with us because we need to talk to you two about something very important."

"Ok? Where are my parents?" Laf asked.

"They're still looking." Peter's phone started ringing and he answered it. "Hello? Did you find him? Great! Yeah, we found Lafayette. The cafe down the street? Ok, see you in a few minutes."

"If you don't mind me asking, who was that?" I asked.

"It was Lafayette's parents, they found Thomas so let's go meet with them," Peter said.

"Bye mes amis! I'll be back later." Laf walked out with Thomas's parents.

"I wonder what they need to talk about," Herc said.

"I don't know but I'm going back to bed, Alex you are too." John dragged me back to his room and we cuddled on his bed.
