"I can't believe you! How could you?! HOW DARE YOU, LAURENS?!"
.
The Alpha blonde said nothing, the situation in front of him was both dangerous and confusing and protesting against something he have yet to understand, doesn't seem like a wise thing to do. Not when his partner – his lover – seems to be so distressed. John still needed to let him know about his last meeting among other battalion commanders as the latest schedule was arranged and he must part to the South.
The lack of reaction from him, however, was getting the Hamilton on his nerves. His voice dropping from shouting to whispers so suddenly that this made Laurens rise from his desk and reach for the younger soldier. That brilliant and fiery man he have loved secretly through all these awful times, so brave and yet, so fragile. Sometimes it was just impossible for Laurens to not try and protect him. Even if he knew his protection was the last thing Hamilton wanted from him, that he could and would fight for himself every time. Marring that Beta girl, Elizabeth, as to prove he didn't need him or any Alpha for what matters.
Still, John couldn't help taking that fiery man into his arms. Letting the boy, his boy, choke few whimpers as the ginger tried in vain to pull back from the lovely embrace. Indulging himself to scent him just a little bit, until finally the omega relaxed in his lover ministrations but those violet eyes wouldn't look up once at his. A sour, more honest yet still hurt, expression marked on his usually thoughtful face, like if his mind betrayed him and so, he rather not think about anything but clearly still upset about them. Laurens took the bait and asked.
.
"My dear boy, please tell me what's wrong? I cannot know for sure what I could have possibly done to upset you this much if you don't tell me" Laurens remained calm, his voice soft, even when a spark came back from the embers of the violet eyes and at last, Hamilton pulled out of his partner reach. This time Laurens let him be.
"You told Washington" Said the ginger sternly. Sure of himself as the blonde was the only one, outside of his now closest family, that knew the true of his nature.
"No, I did not" John's also stern reply, however, proved otherwise.
.
Hamilton paused for moment on his usually fast judgments – Something significant coming from him. He looked back at him now, straight in the eye. Pondering his options as he already accused his lover for betraying him when he didn't have any proof nor anything Washington said could lead to Laurens if Alexander haven't known that he was the only one aware of his unstable position in this army.
But if anything, Alexander trusted this man, he put his heart and his life on his hands countless of times, relying on the love they share for each other more than anything. And so, he wouldn't think even for a brief second that John was capable of lying to his face. No.
.
"But he knows"
"I know he does" The blonde admitted quietly, much to the younger surprise.
.
Laurens breathed out a guilty sight. That would be a long night with his precious boy.
.
And not exactly one of the kind he'd wouldn't mind in the morning.
Yes, I decided to continue this. It will be 7 chapters long, hopefully, let's see how it goes. Also, just so you know...
I'll turn 24 this Saturday. Some birthday pity comment would be nice? :')
