"Guys, leave me alone." Madison said, sick of Alex and John's constant teasing.
"What was that?" John asked, mocking the short boy. "I couldn't hear you!"
Madison walked up to John, frustrated. "CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?" He shouted.
John shoved Madison backwards. "Geez, no need to yell."
Madison stumbled backwards and was caught by Jefferson, who had happened to be walking by. Madison flushed red and quickly stood up. "Sorry..." he muttered to Thomas.
"You're fine." Thomas said, then quickly turned to John and Alex. "What was that for?" He asked.
"Stay out of this, Jefferson!" Alex snapped.
"No need to be rude!" Thomas replied. "Come on, Jemmy." He said, grabbing Madison's hand, causing hi, to blush as Thomas pulled him away from Alex and John.
"I can't believe them!" Thomas exclaimed as the two of them sat on a park bench. "Why would they pick on you, of all people?"
"I don't know..." Madison replied quietly. "I guess they just find me easy to pick on..."
"It's mean! They shouldn't pick on you because of your size. Besides, Hamilton is just as short."
"Yeah..."
"And John shouldn't have shoved you either, the jerk!"
"Thomas, it's fine."
"No it's not!" Thomas exclaimed.
"Thomas?"
"What?"
"You're still holding my hand..."
Thomas immediately released it. "Sorry, I didn't realize..."
Madison shook his head, a blush creeping over his face. "I didn't mind..."
Thomas noticed and leaned over, placing a light kiss on Madison's cheek.
"T-Thomas?" Madison's eyes widened.
Shit...he doesn't like me that way, does he? Thomas panicked. "Sorry...you said you didn't mind me holding your hand...and you were blushing...I misread the situation, didn't I?"
Madison shook his head, leaning forward and placing his lips against Thomas's.
Thomas's eyes widened, but he leaned into the kiss, placing his hand behind James's head.
James pulled away, his face bright red. "I-I've wanted to do that for a while now..." He squeaked, a smile creeping over his face.
Thomas pulled him closer. "Me too, Jemmy. Me too."
