Thank you guest for reviewing!
After the fight a couple months ago, Alexander figure that Aaron would be more willing to share what little he knew about him before he died as he couldn't remember it himself, but if anything Burr was more secretive than before! You'd think after the whole "I get it's hard you can't remember anything" speech he'd help out but nooooooooooooo apparently not knowing anything about his own life was 'for his own good' and 'safer'. UGH!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanyway, their birthday was coming up, and they figured Burr would have to tell them at least one thing if it was a birthday request. After they had a party with Jefferson ew, because the man insisted on throwing them a party.
*Two hours later*
Okay, he had to admit, it was a pretty fun party, but still, despite that, he was glad to be alone with Burr.
Speaking of which…
"Alexander?"
Wait a second, he never called him Alexander unless Alexander himself stated it was in fact him. What was going on?
"Yeah Burr?"
"I got a gift for you, can you come here?"
"Yeah."
Burr handed him a newspaper wrapped package that was obviously a book. Alexander barley refrained from rolling his eyes. Wow. A book. Awesome. Soooooooooo original, not like they didn't get at least twenty from Jefferson.
"Well? Are you going to open it?"
As soon as he did, the second he saw the first page, he froze.
"I-is this-?"
"I started it as soon as I knew it was you, and I was going to wait till you were twenty since that's how old you were last time but- after the talk we had; I thought this year would be best. I um- I could only find one portrait of you, but I got everyone who knew you back then to send stories with their fondest memories so you could fill in some blanks."
He would kill anyone who said anything about it, but he couldn't help himself, he hugged Burr.
"Is this why you wouldn't tell me anything?"
"Yes. You had only lived here about five years, and I didn't get to see you as much as I would have liked, so I didn't know much, but I wanted to save the little I knew for this. Happy birthday."
"Thank you, really, this means a lot."
They spent a good deal of the day flipping through the book, and for every story he could, Burr gave his own opinions and commentary about how the stories fit or contrasted Alexanders personality and scenarios he could imagine taking place.
