~Thomas POV~

Thomas walked out of the bedroom to find his boyfriend, Alexander, typing on his laptop. Like always. He was getting ready to go clubbing with a bunch of their friends like they usually did every weekend.

Recently, Alex had stopped going out because of his work. Apparently, work was more important that his own boyfriend and their friends.

"Lexi~ c'mon. Just go out with us this weekend? Surely you can spare a few hours!" Thomas whined and sat down on the couch next to Alex.

"Thomas, I'm sorry but I cant. I have to do this. I promise I'll go eventually just not this weekend ok?" he replied, his eyes still glued to the screen and his fingers typing full speed.

"You said that last time! You havent gone out with us in a month!" Thomas exclaimed. He was starting to get mad. "You know, I'm starting to think you dont really care anymore!"

"Thomas I love you. I love you with all my heart. Believe me when I say this. I'm doing all this work for you. You'll see."

But Thomas just shook his head. He would deal with this when he got home. He opened the door and stormed out to meet his friends.

~Alex POV~

Alex frowned as his boyfriend stomped out the door. He would explain to him tomorrow why he had been working so hard. Then, he would see.

He would understand that all the if it was for him.

Thomas was his light and life. Without him, Alex felt empty. He loved him more than words could explain.

As Alex finished typing his last document and sent it to his boss, he received his paycheck (online). Alex squeeled and put his coat on.

He ran out of his apartment and went to buy something with all the money he had saved up.

~THOMAS POV~

Meanwhile, Thomas was in the other side of town being really drunk with all his friends.

Laf and Herc were drunkenly making out while James and John were shamelessly flirting with one another. Burr and Theodosia were on the dance floor having a good time being sober. They werent big drinkers. The Schuylers were being crowded with men, being the three prettiest and richest girls in the city. They could take care of themselves though. They had been through many situations like this before.

This left Thomas alone. Usually, he would be having a good time being drunk with Alex but he wasnt here.

Thomas stumbled around laughing and dancing before he bumped into a very attractive lady. Since he was drunk, he couldnt help himself.

He kissed her and she kissed back. Before, he knew it, they were having a full make on session. That was the last thing he remembered before the alcohol clouded his memories.

~Lexi POV~

Alex sat on the couch with his feet up on the coffee table as he was scrolling through his phone. He hadnt relaxed like this in a long time. But all the hard work was going to be worth it when he saw Thomas' reaction. He would love it.

When Alex finally heard the knob twist, he excitedly looked up from my phone screen. When the door opened, his heart shattered.

There was Thomas kissing a very attractive girl. They made their way towards the bedroom and slammed the door shut. They didnt even break the kiss or opened their eyes once. They never saw the heartbroken man on the couch but Alexander saw them.

Thomas was clearly intoxicated. His cheeks and ears were a bright red and his footsteps were a little wobbly.

He never said a word. All he could do was stare. Tears were starting to pool in his eyes.

How could he?

~Thomas POV~

He groaned as he opened his eyes. Thomas looked to his side and wasnt surprised to not see Alex there. Alex always woke up earlier than him. He tried to recall what happened last night but his hangover stopped him from doing so.

He slowly lifted himself up and got out of bed. When he walked out, he was surprised to find that it was completely silent. Usually, the apartment would be filled with the sound of typing.

As he walked around the apartment, he finally found Alex sitting at the kitchen table, hands calmly folded on the table with a cup of black coffee and his laptop in front of him. He was staring of into nothing which scared Thomas. Alex was never like this. He was always thinking or doing something. The Lexi he knew could never be this still.

"Alex are you working again? You should really rest," Thomas said tiredly.

"I wouldnt be talking if I were you," Alex replied not once taking his eyes of the screen. He still wasnt doing anything.

"W-why?" What did he do this time?

"You brought her here." Thomas searched through his memories once again. Soon enough memories from last night came flooding back. He realized what he had done.

"I-i'm sorry Alexander. I 'll make it up to you. I-I promise. I-" but he was cut off when he heard the smol man slam him laptop shut.

"Do you even know her name?" Alex asked in an icy tone.

"N-no."

"Its Maria Lewis. Her favorite color is red and she likes amusement parks."

"How do you kn-" Thomas began to say but was cut off once again.

"We talked for an hour this morning before she had to leave. She's a very nice lady, I can see why you went for her."

"Lexi, I'm sor-"

"Dont call me that," Alex growled. Thomas was shocked. No. This cant be happening. The love of his life was slipping right through his fingers.

"I swear it wont happen again." Thomas said desperately.

"Dont make promises you cant keep thomas." This pushed Thomas to his breaking point.

"Oh yeah?! Well i wouldnt have done it in the first place if you just stopped working for one moment and spent some time with your boyfriend!!" I shrieked but i knew that by pinning it as his fault i was making everyhting worse. I regretted saying it the moment the words left my mouth.

Alex laughed. It was cold and sorrowful laugh.

"Thomas... the only reason why I worked so hard was because i bought you this." He watched as Alex took a small brown bag out from the kitchen and handed it to Thomas. Before he could open it, Alex began to talk again.

"I hope you can use it. If i keep it, i'll never use it," he said gesturing to whatever was in the bag. The he turned around and started to walk towards the door.

Thats when Thomas realized that there was a big traveling bag right next to the door. Dread filled his stomache.

No. Nonono.

He ran and grabbed Alex's wrist.

(Subtly changes to first POV)

"Please dont leave me." I pleaded. All he did was shake my hand off. He grabbed his bag and opened he door. He turned around.

"Bye... Make sure to use what I gave you ok? Goddammit I love you so much." He said and looked at me one last time. He gave me a sad smile that tore my heart apart. I tried to say something but nothing came out.

"Have a good day, Jefferson." Then, Alexander Hamilton closed the door, leaving Thomas alone.

Then the tears came. He collapsed in the middle of his apartment crying his heart out.

As he cried, he remembered the small bag. What could be so important that Alex had to work so hard for it?

He wiped his tears with the back of his hand and made his over to the table where he left the bag. As he picked it up, his hands shook.

He opened the top and found a small box inside. He picked it up, revealing the color. It was a deep shade of magenta. Thomas' favorite color.

He put a hand on his mouth to stiffle his sobbing. This couldnt be. He tried to convince himself that it was sonething else but it was plain and clear. He knew exactly what this was.

He carefully opened the box, revealing a beautiful engagement ring.
