Herc POV

Sooo we were on our way to the bar and I was trying my best to not be awkward.

Why should I be tho?! Laf kissed me! Well I mean I kissed back but for all he know I was drunk! This shouldn't be that bad.

The bar came into sight and he and I exchanged glances.

The bell rand when I opened the door. "How may I help y'all?" A brunette waitress with bright red lipstick and a really REALLY low cut shirt asked.

Listen, Laf and I may be gay or whatever but boys will be boys. I could tell that both of us were uncomfortable though because she was really putting herself out there.

"4 pints of Sam Adams s'il vous plaît" the French baguette managed.

Laf looked at me and I looked at him. I let out a slow breath. "Sooooo" I tried but my mind went blank.

"Iz this ze same bar that we were at *ahem* zee other night?" I blushed thinking about that night.

"I-I don't know which night you are referring to"

Laf looked sadly at me and was about to say something before 4 big mugs crashed down. Our barmaid sighed and went to pick up the broken pieces. Meanwhile another man was approaching her. He looked like he wanted something.

Laf and I took action. The man was about to reach down and tap the girls *ahem* bootie, but got something else instead.

A fist.

To the face.

Laf's fist.

A man who looked like the manager walked over to them and told them to take it outside. "Gladly" by boyfriend growled. Wait. No. Not. Oh shut up Bible man...

At the same time all that was happening I had rushed over to the barmaid to help her pic up the pieces. "Oh thank you sir but I can manage. She gave me a weak smile.

"Allow me" I said gentlemanly. If. That's a word. She giggled and wiped off her had and held it out.

"Maria Lewis" she grinned. "It's a pleasure to meet you" Wow she's pretty. Like not as pretty as Laf but woah.

I took her hand and kissed it, "Hercules Mulligan and the pleasure is all mine"

We finished cleaning up and I sat down. "So," she did some fancy shaking and pouring, "Who's your friend, mulligan?"

"Oh that's Lafayette. We fought in the war together." I blushed at the sight of him.

Maria slid my drink across the counter, then leaned over so her face was a mere inch from mine. It wasn't romantic tho she was just smirking and the leaned closer to my ear, and whispered, "oooo someone's blushing"

I kid you not I fell off my flipping stool. "What! No I'm not!!" She chuckled drying her hands on a towel. "We'll while you ar, as you put it, 'not blushing' your boyfriend is out there fighting THE james Reynolds." She flung the towel over her shoulder and leaned on the counter again.

"Who's 'THE James Reynolds?" I watched Maria's jaw drop a little but then closed it again. "He gets in the most fights round here. Drinks more than anyone here, I recon. He's always Hittin' on me and I thought maybe I'd say yes once but I don't know."

We were interrupted by a bang. That bang was the sound of Lafayette slamming 'THE James Reynolds' body on the counter.

I knew he'd beat him.

Laf brushes off his hands and sat down. Maria gazed in amazement at what had just happened. She blinked a few times then looked at me strait in the eyes. "All I'm saying, Mulligan is that you picked a special one so shoot yer shot." I smiled at how well she was able to disguise what she was saying so that Lafayette wouldn't understand.

I leaned on the counter. "Hey Mari, you wanna come over for a family and friends dinner tonight? I think you'd like my friends."

She nodded her approval and gave a time and an address, Alex' address of course...

Lafayette POV

I had successfully beaten the shit out of that creep and so I hoisted him over my shoulder and dragged him inside.

As I sat down the hot barmaid said something to my Hercules. "All I'm saying, Mulligan is that you picked a special one so shoot yer shot" what does that mean?! Does Hercules love another? Of course he doe, Lafayette! Your not good enough.

We started walking home and I was still lost in thought. I decided to man up and ask him. "Hercules?"

"Mhm?" He looked up at me.

"Do you love someone?" I DIDNT know how else to phrase something like that but I think he got the idea. He stayed silent as if debating wether to tell me.

"Ye s" he croaked. I couldn't help but tear up. Suddenly out of the blue, He stopped. I turned around and he took my hands which was new but like I enjoyed it so-

"Laf I didn't know what to tell you but that night at the bar-" he paused and I had no idea what to think.

"Oh that night. It just felt so real and I felt sparks and Lafayette I think I'm in love with you." I was a blushing mess. But I'm still a French duck boy so I leaned in and kissed him and this time no hesitation in herds part. It was amazing.

I pulled away and breathed, "I love you too mon ange." He looked confused but whatever. I think he got the gist of it. ANYWAY

we walked home hand in hand. I was happy!! Finally!!

"BAGUETTE!!" I exclaimed.

Herc gave me a peck on the cheek and everything was happy the end
