Alexander laughed happily, his arms wrapped around the taller man's neck as he rested his hands on his waist. He kissed him ever so softly just as the loud music stopped, causing every one in the room to turn to the man in the large cape in the thrown as he stood. "My loyal, royal, subjects." He smiled widely. "Are you enjoying this ball?" He asked. His eyes darting around. Knowing General Washington has sent two of his spies.

His eyes stuck to the two men with their arms wrapped around each other. "Such a different stance" he started, causing more to look at the two Americans "Might I ask your names?" He begun "Two men in eachothers arms. I have not seen such a thing."

Alexander and Thomas glanced at eachother, Thomas pulled the smaller man closer, holding him within the grips of his arms.

"Well? Might I ask your names?" He repeated. Starting to look irritated

"My name is Thomas, Your highness. This is my lover, Alexander." Thomas stated, kissing the shaking boys head. He heard the whispers, a man loving a man? It simply could not be.

Alexander's eyes widened as he noticed Thomas sounded American, not one hint of a British accent. He gripped onto his sleeve "We need to run" he whispered almost silently. Staring at the guard's as the king made a simple hand movement, causing the gaurds to close in on the two boys.

Thomas gripped Alexander's arm and darted for the door. He stumbled slightly as he picked up his pace, shoving men and woman away before running through the large, fancy doors. He looked back, his eyes widening as Alex was torn from his grip.

"Run!" Alex screeched, fighting against the men's grips. He thrashed his body around, his tight hair tie falling from his hair, causing it to be hard for him to see anything. He shook his head rapidly as Thomas stepped closer "Go!" He pleaded, screaming he saw Thomas being tackled to the ground by many gaurds through a strand of hair before everything turned black.

Alexander woke up bound to a chair, his heart thumped within his chest as he saw Thomas laying on the ground with chains onto his hands. Keeping him in place, though enough chain to stand.

"Tommy..." he whispered "Thomas wake up..." His voice felt dry, his throat and head were aching. He let out a whimper and sniffled.

"Lex..." he glanced up, propping on his elbows "Are you okay?" He asked softly

"I'm okay, Tommy..." he smiled weakly "Are you?" His eyes glanced over the man he loved, wanting to hold him, kiss him, love him more than ever. He couldn't help but fear what was to happen next. Were they to be killed? Tortured? Harmed? Sent home? To be hung? Slaughtered? Publicly stoned?

"Yes, darling. I'm okay." He smiled, sitting up and trying to crawl closer "Can you lean down? I wish to kiss you if this might be my last wish..." he whispered

Alexander leaned down and connected their lips. Feeling the softness and gentleness of what may be their last kiss.

A man walked in and stood tall, he looked down apon the two and chuckled "Enjoying your last moments?" He asked. Now looking as they broke away to glare

"What are you to do with us?" Alexander asked, wishing he could hold Thomas' hands.

"You will be hung before sunset today, for now, you can spend your last moments together." He stated, letting them out of their holds.

Alexander leaped towards Thomas, holding him tightly. Bursting into tears as he felt him hold him tightly, knowing it would be the last time they held eachother.

The minutes felt like hours, hours felt like days, holding eachother in the dark room, having no clue of time before someone would walk in and lead them to their death. No clue of when they'll be torn away and having to watch one die.

Alexander cried the entire time to say the least, Thomas stayed silent and just held the smaller boy, not daring to making a nose. Unable to muster words.

As the time neared, the man walked I with two gaurds who grabbed the pair, Alex started begging for Thomas, begging for their lives.

Thomas reached out and held his hand, giving him the same smile he gave the day they met. His heart broke at the sight of the boy crying, breaking down. At the thought that...He would have to go through so much pain...because of his mistake.

Thomas stood on the platform beside Alexander, both men had a noose around their neck.

Thomas glanced over at Alex "Will you ever forgive me.." he whispered.

"I already h-" Alex watched in horror as the platform below Thomas dropped, the sound of his neck snapping causing Alexander to scream painfully, watching Thomas squirm for less than a minute before going limp.

Then he fell.
