"AU where Lafayette is the only roommate that buys groceries ever"
This AU came from Tumblr. I do not own Hamilton, enjoy.
Of course. There wasn't any food in the apartment, again.
Lafayette groaned gently as he looked through the fridge for something, anything to eat. It was time.
The man stood and looked across the room the his keys sitting on the kitchen counter. He smirked gently to himself before walking over.
How does a ragtag, misfit, group of collage kids,
somehow defeat their apartment rent?
Lafayette grabs his keys and walks out, not even bothering to let the others know, they'd probably figure that out anyways.
How do they emerge victorious when the rent's due?
Not even hungry when other live off ramen and hot pockets?
Not even ten minutes later, Lafayette has made it to Sam's. He heads in, grabbing a cart and heading into the store.
Turns out they have a secret weapon:
an immigrant, you know and love whose unafraid to step in.
As he walks through the isles, he catches people watching him. Mostly girls, teen girls at that, which pretty much tells you what's up.
He's constantly working, gaining wages from his boss-
Everyone give it up for the collages favorite buying Freshman!
Everyone around stops what they're doing as he passes, simultaneously beginning to sing.
"Lafayette!"
Lafayette smirks to himself. "I'm taking this cart by the handle, expanding the menu with a bagel and cereal" he starts, picking items up as he goes.
"Lafayette!"
"And I'm never gonna stop until I finish the shop, and put 'em up and scatter the change I'm"
"Lafayette!"
"Watch me obtain 'em, buying food, gain change, I'm" Lafayette laughs gently as the people around him are now dancing, actually dancing a choreographed dance.
"Lafayette!"
"I go to work for more funds" he pauses and stands straight. "I come back with more Gum, and chips, and soda, bread, dips" he continues, grinning softly as he is joined by the ensemble.
Lafayette grabs his phone after getting a text from Laurens. "We something for dinner, something different that I'm making"
Lafayette continues his shopping, typing up a reply to his friend.
"I think I know what you're doing, I can help you out dude, but for this to succeed, there's something else we need"
"I Know." Lauren's sent before sending a second. "one chicken"
"Got it dude, almost done now- should be there in like, twenty minutes?" Lafayette sent before pushing the cart towards the deli.
He steps up to the counter where a woman is working and waves for her attention. When she looks up, Lafayette gives a small smile, which she returns and walks over.
"hey Lafayette, what can I do for you?" She asked.
Lafayette shrugged. "I need to buy some of the pork butt for Hambone" he says nonchelantly, gaining a small chuckle from the employee.
She nods and hands over what he nodded. "Thank you Miss Reynolds" Lafayette said with a small smirk, waving and heading off.
After a few minutes he finally had everything and was heading to pay and then leave.
As he was heading to leave, a man had called his name.
"hey George" Lafayette said flatly. "Professor Washington isn't here, I don't know where he is, go bug Hambone for him, and be gay somewhere else" He told the older man.
George gave an offended reaction. "I'm not gay, and I wanted to talk to you! Jesus Christ." He said.
"Okay, look, I need to get the food home, and this pork butt to Hambone" Lafayette groaned softly.
Lafayette turned to head out, followed by George.
"So I have a question, don't laugh, I need an honest answer" George started, before getting shut down by Lafayette.
"Look, I'm sorry, I don't really know anything about you" Lafayette starts. "Can't help you, sorry"
George nods gently as Lafayette opened the back of his car. George moved to help him.
"I mean, are you sure- it's about you cousin, Napoleon" George said.
Lafayette raised an eyebrow. "Splain yo' self" he said, crossing his arms. George puffed out his cheeks. "Yea he's been screwing around with my sister. Should I be a petty bitch, or do you actually like him?" He asked.
Lafayette put in the last of the bags. "Do your worst, sir" Lafayette replied, handing the other the cart. George nodded, taking the cart and literally riding away on it.
George waved, as he rode away.
lafayette rolled his eyes. "Not Gay my ass" he mutters before shutting the car and going to the driver side and heading home.
