This technically part of "you'll blow us all away" but this are the parts that directly contradict other plans of mine. This verse also has texting parts on Ao3. I have the same username there, if you want to look into that.
alex and aaron meeting again as observed by a random oc i made up at the spot
Dae-Jung had never really cared about American History. He and his mom had come from South Korea when he was fifteen, so why should he care for some history that didn't even affect him? But American History is the only credit that fits Dae-Jung's schedule in college, so that's the class he sits in.
The professor doesn't glare at him for his skin—at least that's what Dae-Jung assumes the rest are doing—so that's a plus, but he still doesn't know anyone in the course.
So, when they are assigned a group project, he simply leans forward and uses his pen to reach the person in front of him.
"You wanna work together," he asks. He notices that he doesn't try to stop his accent from sneaking into his speech all that much. Maybe it's because the guy is Carribean that he has seen with a Latino and a Chinese woman among regular basis, maybe it's because he heard the guy speak with an accent no one can completely pinpoint, but it's what happens.
"Sure," the guy replies, looking to his side to the African American boy sitting there. "Do you want in, too?"
"Alright," the man responds.
"I guess we should introduce ourselves, since we'll have to do this sometimes and all that," the first man proposes.
"The name is Ryom Dae-Jong," he informs them.
"Aaron Burr," the second man adds in.
"Burr?" the first guy repeats incredulously, staring at the other in horror. "Aaron Burr?"
"Yes?" The response it more tentative than anything else Aaron had said before—which is saying something—but it's also kind of defensive as well. "What's it to you?"
"Alexander Hamilton," the other responds, then again, louder and clearer. "My name is Alexander Hamilton."
And that Aaron guy paled faster than Dae-Jung had ever seen anyone pale before, it's almost an achievement.
"I'm missing something," Dae-Jung observes.
"You don't want to know," Alexander assures him. Aaron nods.
Somehow, Dae-Jung believes them.
