Happy Birthday to Alex Hamilton and to any of you guys whose b'day it's today, I love you ❤

**********************

John's P. O. V

"Babe, babe, babe, babe, babe, babe, babe-"

"What?!" I laughed at Alex's insistence and left my pencil down. "What is it doll? I need to finish this."

He rolled his eyes but smiled anyways. "Is it something that you need to tell me?" He wiggled his eyebrows.

I shook my head, confused. "Nope. Don't think so. Is there something that I'm forgetting?"

His smile fell and he frowned. "Really?"

"Really."

"John Laurens are you fucking serious?" He chuckled sarcastically.

"Our anniversary was two weeks ago so... " I shook my head, still confused.

"Do you happened to look at today's date at least?" He crosses his arms. There was pain in his voice.

I took my phone and saw the screen. "It's January 11th. What's so important about it?"

He raised both eyebrows with surprise and shoved me out of his way to the door.

"I can't believe this. " He picked the keys from the vanity and opened the door.

"Alex? Where are you-"

SLAM.

I sighed and called Peggy.

"It worked. I hope this plan of yours is gonna work, otherwise I think he's gonna break up with me. "

She gave me some details of how everything was getting ready and thanked her. A few minutes later I received a message from Betsey.

Elizard🍃: Oh my god John, Alex came here crying, you better hurry up.

I bit my lip and replied. Throwing myself  over the chair.

Me: Just make sure he doesn't get drunk and/or starts talking about breaking up with me. I'm really nervous.

At 5:00 I already finished my sketches and started getting ready to meet Alex at some place I have planned with the guys. It was something special just for the two of us, but Peggy offered me support.

For the small price of doing her chemistry assignments for a week. Good ol' Pegs.

I grabbed my wallet, keys and phone. Then I went to our closet and grabbed a medium size box I've been hiding for a few weeks now.

When I was about to take the car keys, I remember Alex took it when he left,  so I called a taxi and went to the place.

I was texting Eliza during the car ride.

Me: he's still crying?

Elizard 🍃:  No, he stopped a while ago, now he's eating ice cream and we're watching movies.

Me: get him ready, I'll be there in a few

Elizard 🍃: K, I'll tell Peggy to come pick him up. Good Luck 💕

Me: alright, thx Betsey 🙏🙏💕

I sighed heavily and the driver looked at me from the rear view mirror.

"Is everything alright kiddo? I can see you're nervous about something." He asked.

I chuckled. "Just a little anxious. I have a special date with my boyfriend today and he's pissed at me. "

"Ah, young love. " He gasped dreamily. I smiled. "What did you do that pissed him?"

"I kind of pretended to forget a special date." I scratched the back of my neck.

He chuckled, shooking his head. "You better make it up to him. "

"I'm planning on it. "

We drove for 10 minutes more and I indicated to stop at the right place. I went out and payed him.

"Thanks."

"Thanks to you boy, good luck with your boyfriend. " The old man drove away.

I breathed deeply and entered my house. Alex and I were living in an apartment near from school since I have emancipated a year ago and he had no parents. My parents had bought a house for me here in New York but it was for when I finished college so I never took Alex here and we started paying the rent of the apartment a year ago when we started dating and I left my house. We were both seniors with jobs and we were doing fine.

The girls and Laf helped me up to set everything in the house, from the beautiful Christmas lights to the sand and starfishes. I wanted to place all of Alex's favorite things in one place, including his roots.

There was vinyls, a Caribbean drum, I even got to buy a collection of font pens on Amazon. There was a huge map of United States in one wall and a map of the Antilles in other. There was also a few pictures of us and our friends. It was perfect, all for Alex.

I was placing Alex's gift over a huge pile of Alex's favorites books when my phone buzzed.

Pegg(asus) 💃: We're outside.

My pulse quickened as I typed a quick affirmative response for him to come in.

Moments after, I hear the door opening and some steps. I was behind a wall, watching. Alex looked confused, surprised and excited.

"What the.. -"

"You like it?" I asked, showing myself. He widened his eyes.

"Y-you did this?" He walked towards me.

I nodded with a smile. "Do you like it? " I repeated.

"I-I love it. " He laughed and hugged me. "This is... It's magical, so beautiful."

I hugged him back tightly and pulled back. "Here are all the things you love."

"Including you. " He stood in his tiptoes and pulled me down on a deep kiss.

I smiled in the middle of it and grabbed his chin. Alex's arms were around my waist taking a fistful of the back of my shirt.

"Happy birthday, doll. " I mumbled when he pulled back. "I got something for you. "

His eyes shone with something I couldn't describe but I noticed he blinked quickly.

"What is it?"

I walked to the box, and hold it, handing it to him.

"Here."

He looked down at it and grabbed it. He opened the box slowly and his eyes softened. He pulled out a small piece of paper that had crayon scribbles.

"Is this the note you wrote to me on 4th grade? 'Hi, I'm John. Do you want to be my fren. Yea/No', oh my god. " He laughed. "This is so cute. "

I smiled. "I was gay as fuck even back then."

He pulled out a braided bracelet. "This is the friendship bracelet I lost on freshman year. " He gasped.

"Yeah, it actually fell from your wrist on P.E and I picked it up. "

"Why didn't you gave it back to me?"

I shrugged. "It was a friendship bracelet. What I was feeling for you at that moment wasn't friendship, at all." I chuckled.

After that he pulled out the first picture we got together as a couple, a small shell we found at the beach were we first kissed and a poem I tried to write to him to invite him to prom. He said yes.

"This present was beautiful. " He pecked my lips.

"Yeah... You should look at the bottom of the box. "

He frowned ans looked down at the box, when his eyes noticed the little shiny artifact, his mouth hanged open.

"Don't get alarmed. It has a chain. " I said quickly when he took out the silver ring. "It's a promise ring. I promise that I'll be there for you, always, even if I'm far, I'll be there in spirit. I promise that I'll protect you with my life. I promise not to be the perfect boyfriend, but to try to make you happy till the end. I love you, Alex. "

He was now crying authentically. I wiped his tears and he kissed me. I soothed his small whimpers, stroking his hair.

"I love you so much. I-I-"

"Shhh.. " I smiled and hugged him.

"I thought you forgot about it. "

"I could never. Not even if I tried. "

He smiled and kissed me again. Then it got heated, and the room felt hot. Alex got another birthday present.

**************

Yo, I love you. Thanks for being alive. Thanks for your presence. Thanks for existing.

You're beautiful. ❤
