Modern Day

Prompt: "Uh… apparently, not everything is legal in Jersey."

"What did you do?"

"I threw a table. At Charles Lee. And I'm in trouble now."

"Screw you. It's 2 AM."

"Babe, what do you want?" I mumbled into the phone. I didn't appreciate waking up in our dorm alone.

"Uh… apparently not everything is legal in Jersey." Alexander's frantic voice said. I sat up and groaned.

"What did you do, Alexander?" Wiping my face, I set the phone on speaker and began changing. Every time something like this happened, I would need to go down to the police station and bail him out.

"I threw a table. At Charles Lee. The squad was with me. And I'm in trouble now. Can you come pick us up?" He asked, throwing in a light laugh.

"Screw you, Alexander." I checked the time on my watch. "It's 2 AM. What are you doing still awake at 2 AM?"

"Party at Laf's. Lee was gatecrashing. So I threw a table at him. And… uh… I may or may not have made him pass out with a concussion." I sighed and Alexander's tone adopted a hint of accusation. "Hey, John and Laf helped! It's not just my fault, y'know. And then Herc threw a chair at him too. So… we're all at the station now. Can you get us?" He asked again. I could almost see his blushing face, embarrassingly asking me for help.

"Uh… Alexander. I can only bail out two people. I'll have to grab Washington for this." I groan once again. "Don't give me that sigh, Hamilton. If you don't want my help, you'll have to get out by yourself."

"Fine. Get dad and get here now. I mean, Washington. Hey, next time you should join us!" I squealed angrily and turned off his call. I could see his smirk.

"Goddamn it, Alexander. You're going to make me wake up the principal at 2 AM in the morning?" I moaned to myself as I left the dorm.

"Sir! Sir!" I yelled, knocking on Washington's door. I heard a loud bang and winced. I really hoped Washington hadn't fallen over anything.

"What do you want? Whoever you are, it's 2:30 in the morning." I heard a groan. Washington opened the door, wearing a T-shirt and pajama pants.

"Uh… sir… sorry to bother you right now, Alexander Hamilton and his friends got into trouble again… uh… I need you to come down to the station with me and bail him… please." I pleaded. Washington groaned again and nodded, closing the door in my face and coming down three minutes later, fully dressed.

"Let's go." We began walking towards the police station in an awkward silence. I mean, what do you say to your teacher?

"So what happened this time?" Washington asked me. I fidgeted for a few minutes before replying.

"Uh… Laf threw a party in his dorm… the squad was there with the sisters, and Charles Lee decided to gatecrash… and Alexander threw a table at him… along with John and Laf. Hercules threw a chair in that direction afterward too. I think at least two of them were drunk."

"Hold up. Alex threw a table at Charles. A table. Table table."

"Yes, keep up, please, sir," I mumbled, hoping not to get in trouble for that little sass. "So, Lee called the police on his phone… and they're down there now. At least, I think that's what happened."

"Okay."

"Also… they were underage drinking."

"You're telling me that Princeton University's students, one of whom is this establishment's model student, were underage drinking?" Washington asked.

"Uh… yes." I mumbled.

"Alexander is so dead when I find him. I might just leave him in there." Washington growled. "But if I do that, he'll call Martha and I'll be dead." The principal mumbled under his breath.

"We're here," I said, and walked into the police station, almost slamming the door in his face. The police officer at the counter raised an eyebrow.

"Yes?" She asked.

"I'm here to see Alexander Hamilton, John Laurens, Lafayette, and Hercules Mulligan?" I asked. She nodded and got up.

"First cell on your left. Please, Aaron, control your boyfriend in the future." She winked. I nodded and she sat down again.

"Alex!" I yelled. He poked a hand out of the cell and waved.

"Babe! You came!" He said, laughing. John was leaning on the corner of the cell, Lafayette was hugging… wait a minute, was that Mrs. Washington's cat? And Hercules was glaring at Lafayette.

"Uh… wait just a minute. Professor Washington has something to say." I mumbled.

"Alexander Hamilton. Just what do you think you were doing underage drinking?" Washington yelled.

"Uh… sir… I wasn't the one who was drunk. It was John. I just acted impulsively." Alexander said, glaring at me.

"Oh. Okay. In that case, ma'am!" He yelled to the police officer. She came walking in with a clipboard, a pen, and keys.

"Sign here, and you're free to go." Her bored tone said.

"Thank you," Washington said, signing and returning the pen to her. She opened the door and let Alexander and Lafayette out. After I signed, she let Hercules and John out.

"Have a good night… morning." She mumbled.

"Thanks!" John yelled, still drunk. I could tell he would have a hangover tomorrow.

"Sir, I'm going to leave with Alexander," I said, nodding. He nodded back and smiled. I grabbed Alexander by the ear and dragged him out of the police office.

"Ow, Aaron, please, let me go!" Alexander yelled, his hair falling on my hands. I growled at him and let him go, hugging my arms and walking faster. "Babe, are you mad at me?" He asked, catching up with me.

"Am I mad? Alexander, use that big brain of yours and think!" I yelled. I stalked off with Alexander following me like a sad puppy.

"Aaron, I'm sorry," Alexander mumbled when we got home. I turned around to see him giving me the puppy eyes.

"Ahh, you know I can't stay mad at you... Fine!" I said, throwing my hands in the air and relenting. Alexander leaned around and kissed me on the cheek before smiling and saying,

"I have something that'll cheer you up." He went into the living room and pulled out a DVD along with a box from his hoodie pocket. I looked at the box warily. Alexander had tricked me with something like that before.

"Be my valentine, mon amour?" He asked, opening the box. I squealed. Inside was a necklace with a locket on the end.

"Is that… real silver, Alexander?" I asked. He nodded and I threw myself onto him. "Thank you!" I perked up and remembered something. "I have something for you too!" I turned and ran into my room and pulled out a box.

"Here, Alex." He laughed and ripped off the cover. His face broke into a wide smile. I had gotten him a quill and ink. He'd always wanted one of those, so I'd saved up and gotten him one.

He pulled me into a hug and threw me onto the couch, pulling out a DVD. "How about Moana?" I nodded and he put it into the DVD player before snuggling up to him.

"I love you, Aaron."

"I love you too, Alexander."

So… I thought. Better late than never, Alexander.
