Tuesday Night 3rd Person POV (8:00)

America should provide aid to smaller countries during natural disasters.

First of all, everyone should help others in time of need! That's pretty obvious within itself. Second of all, many countries need supplies after natural disasters. Lastly, America is rich! We have money to spend! Why not help others?

Alexander started on his debate paper. For some odd reason, he just couldn't think of anything to write. He decided to just go take a small break, and come back later. He walked down the stairs into the Living room. Martha and George were watching TV. Lafayette was laying in a chair, texting on his phone.

Lafayette looked up from his phone. "Hey Alex, wanna go hang out with me and my friends? We are going to have a game night at Mulligan's house."

Hamilton thought about it for a moment and replied with a "Sure."

"Great! Be ready in ten."

——

"Yo, Laf! And Alexander!" Hercules opened the door as he saw the pair walking up to the door. Alexander waved. "Laurens is in my room, setting up the first game."

Lafayette and Alex walked inside. Hercules had a nice little house. It wasn't nearly as big as the Washingtons', but that was expected. George and Martha are rich, after all. Anyways, they walked inside to a hallway that had two archways, two doors, and a set of stairs. The archway on the left led to the kitchen. The door on the right led to Hercules' parents' room. The door beside it was a bathroom, and the last archway, on the back wall, led to the living room. The set of stairs was against the left side of the wall.

The two brothers followed Hercules up the stairs. As they were walking to his room, Alexander noticed that Laf was looking at Hercules in a weird way. He's rarely seen that look, but he can't pinpoint what the emotion is.

"Yo! I set up The Game Of Life! Let's play!" Laurens looked up to see the rest of the group. He glanced over at Alex for a second before looking down, hiding his face.

Laurens' POV

"Yo! I set of The Game Of Life! Let's play!" I said as I heard the door open. I looked up and saw Hercules and Lafayette... and Alex? I didn't know he was coming. I quickly look down as I realized a blush started forming on my face.

"Sweet! I'm going to crush you guys and be the richest!" Lafayette confidently said as he sat down across from me. Hercules just chucked and sat down to the right of me.

"Uh, what is 'The Game Of Life?'" Alex timidly asked us. He sat down while he looked at the board, confused.

What.

How does he not know what that is.

The other three of us looked at each other, confused. "Well, um, you of know what a board game is, right?" Hercules replied.

"Y-yea. I just didn't really play many of them as a kid." Lexi looked down, obviously embarrassed. He started fiddling with his fingers. Oh no. I feel really bad that he's embarrassed. I hate that feeling.

I tried to explain it to him so that he won't feel bad. "Well, The Game Of Life is a board game where you try to get as much money as possible and live life as best as you can. We'll explain it as we go on." I reassured him. Laf and Herc nodded.

Alex looked up and smiled at me. "Okay." He said, sounding more confident than earlier.

(A/N: I accidentally added colors here so I changed it to fix it. If you see the comments with them guessing the colors then now you know :))

Everyone grabbed their card and we began, with everyone but Herc choosing the college path. Hercules got the Athlete career. I got the Police Officer career, Hamilton got the Lawyer career, and Lafayette got the Veterinarian career. Soon I was the first to land on the 'Get Married' tile.

I went to grab a male character, when I realized something....

Alexander doesn't know i'm gay.

Is he homophobic? I really hope not. Shit. I didn't think about this.

I took a glance at Alexander's face as I pulled the blue male character from the bag. His eyes had a different emotion in it, but it wasn't anger or hate...? It was more of a look of curiosity and relief? "A-Are you gay?" He looked at me. I blushed immensely and looked at Lafayette and Herc, who are also both alarmed. "Uh.. yeah... i'm gay."

Hercules chimed in "And i'm pansexual too...". Lafayette nodded and added "Je suis aussi gay." (I'm also gay.) He also talked in French whenever nervous.

After some silence we hear him say "Oh. My. GOD! FINALLY!"

What? The three of us look up to see Alex smiling the biggest we've ever seen him smile. "I'm Bisexual!" A tidal wave of relief washed over me, and i'm sure it did for Herc and Laf too. I actually might have a chance with Alex! This is the best day ever! I'm so glad we decided to play this game!

"Oh Dieu merci." (Oh thank God.) Lafayette commented. "I HAVE A GAY BROTHER! WHOO!"

Alex chucked. "Let's get back to playing the game. I have student loans to pay off."

(Hamilton's POV)

It was around 11:00 PM by the time we were done playing games. Lafayette won The Game Of Life, with Herc following a close second. I won 3rd place, and John came in last. After we were done with The Game Of Life, we played Mario Kart.

Lafayette and I said our goodbyes and made our way home. As we got into the car, he said to me "Alors, que penses-tu de nous être gay??" (So, what do you think about us being gay?) "It's awesome! I've never really met another gay person before, and it feels great to be with others like me!" I excitedly told him. "Great!" He smiled. We continued to chat until we got home. Martha and George were just about to go to bed, so I said goodnight to them and went into my room.

Hmm... what to do. Oh! I'll finish my debate paper.
