Chapter 6: Unapologetically

Alexander

The final bell had rung for the day and I packed up my stuff. Turns out, we have an essay due in two weeks in my legal writing class. Better get started early!

I slammed the door to our dorm.

"I'm back!" I called.

"In here Alex!" Johns voice came from his room. I stepped through the open door and leaned against the frame.

He put away whatever he was working on in his sketchbook and sat up straight on his bed. "How were classes?" he asked as he zipped up his backpack and threw it to the floor.

"Mm. Fair," I said and sighed.

John stretched. "Wanna watch movies or something tonight?"

"Yeah, sure," I yawned.

"Great!"

I checked the time on my phone it was only 4:00.

"I'm going to Starbucks," I said. "Wanna come with me?"

He jumped off his bed. "Yeah!"

I never really noticed the height difference in us. I'm just really short, and I guess I see everyone else as giants compared to me.

Starbucks was right around the corner from the dorm houses so walked there. We stepped through the door and the strong scent of coffee beans and vanilla hit me.

John got a vanilla iced coffee and I got a white chocolate mocha.

We walked to a table and set our coffees down.

"So..." John trailed off. Some pieces of his curly hair hung loosely around his face and his freckles illuminated in the light of the café. "What was your life like before you came to the college?"

I took a sip of my coffee and stared at the table. "I-I..." I could feel my eyes tearing up at the thought my mother. "When I was ten, my father left my mother and I." Johns expression changed suddenly. "Then, when I was twelve, my mother died. When I was fourteen, I moved in with my cousin, and he committed suicide. I got a job later on working as a clerk. And, when I was seventeen, a hurricane came through and destroyed everything. I wrote some papers about it and everyone passed a plate around, raised enough money to send me here to be properly educated and now I'm here."

"Oh. I'm sorry Alex, I-I didn't know," he said, his eyes a little glassy.

"It's fine John."

He smiled a little bit.

*le tim skip brought to you by Quensidilla on a hover board saying "Would anyone like some stew?" 🥄*

John and I finally got back to our dorm after about an hour.
I let him pick out a movie and I popped some popcorn. When the popcorn was done I came back to the couch to see he had picked "It"

We sat on the couch together and watched the movie.

*another tim skip*

John

When the movie was over, Alex fell asleep with his head rested on my shoulder. He looked so cute.

I took a deep breath and leaned my face next to his. I kissed his forehead. I feel bad for it.

His eyes fluttered open. "John?" he said in a tired way.

"I'm right here."

He yawned. Oh my God! Why?! Why does he have to be so fucking adorable?!

He sat up and leaned against the back of the couch. His hair had messed up a little bit and strands of it fell in front of his face.

I stared at him,barely blinking. My God, he was perfect. His brown eyes locked with my hazel ones. We both started to move closer to each other. Before I knew it, our lips were touching. The kiss was full of passion and love. I only knew Alexander for a few days, but I was certain I loved him. Or at least liked him.

He pulled away suddenly and slapped his hand to his mouth. "J-John, I'm so sorry! I wasn't thinking an-"

I cut him off. "Alex it's okay." I pulled him back into another kiss. It felt so different than from the night I was drunk.

Alex pushed me down on the couch and kept kissing me. As the moment got pretty heated, the door flew open and the whole squad came in the room.

Mine and Alex's faces were red. Alex got off of me and we both sat up.

"Uhh, should we come back?" Herc asked looking at us in confusion.

"Yeah, you too looked hella busy," Maria put in.

"No you guys are fine," Alex said.

Eliza and Angelica looked kinda upset. I mean it was clear that they both had a fucking crush on Alexander. Maybe not anymore.

Peggy came over to the couch and sat between us. "MOVE IM GAY!" she said as she sat down. I giggled at her. "How is my OTP doing today?" she asked and put her arms around Alex and I.

Lafayette put his hand on his hip. "I thought 'ercules and I were your, how you say, OTP?" he says with an obviously fake hurt expression.

"WERE Laf. Keyword: were."

Herc and Laf rolled their eyes. "We gotta go," Herc said. "To do uh things."

"Things?" Maria said.

Laf nodded and the pair walked out.

Peggy got up from her place on the couch and hugged her sisters and Maria. "Aren't they just adorable?!" she squealed and pointed at us.

Alex smiled and rolled his eyes.

"We'll leave you to it then," Angelica said with a sad tone. But before she left she said one last thing to us: "May you always be satisfied." Then she left. I got up behind them and closed the door.

Alex looked down at the floor. "Alexander, are you all right?"

"I feel bad. I really hurt Angelica and Eliza. I knew they had a crush on me. And when they saw that, I knew it broke their hearts."

I gave him a sympathetic expression. "They'll be okay, Alex. Besides, Eliza is married to her education at the moment, and John Church has been throwing hints at Angelica and flirting with her a lot. I just really hope she isn't involved with Jefferson."

"Who's Jefferson?" he asked.

Oh God. They haven't met yet. "Jefferson is the biggest dick this school has ever seen, and that really saying something."

He nodded. "So John? A-are we a thing now?"

I thought about. I really wanted to be with him more than anything. "Only if you want to be."

"Yes!" He threw himself on me and kissed me again. We got back to how we were when the squad arrived.

"I love you John Laurens."

"I love you too Alexander Hamilton."
