Chapter 3: Aaron Burr, Sir
I honestly keep on forgetting GWash is there lol. He's watching in silence, until he *really* needs to react out loud. Also there's a DBZA reference, see if you can spot it! Warning, Mentions of death and sex, swearing, and n*zis (though it's grammar n*zis). If any of those upset you in any way, please click off now! I don't want your mental health to suffer for my fic. If you're still here, I hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer: Last I checked, I was not an adult male, so I automatically can't own either Hamilton or BNHA. I do own Nova though, look at her! *Holds up Nova like Simba* She's so cute!
"This one's called Aaron Burr, Sir," Denki said, "It's pretty catchy."
[COMPANY]
1776. New York City
"Wait, what about my time staying with Mulligan's family? I arrived in 1773," Hamilton corrected.
"There wouldn't be enough time to show everything, so some bits got left out or changed," Nova shrugged.
"What do you mean, 'There wouldn't be enough time'?" Philip asked, "We've barely started!"
"It goes for nearly three hours as it is, dude," Denki answered, "There wouldn't have been enough time for everything."
[HAMILTON]
Pardon me. Are you Aaron Burr, sir?
[BURR]
That depends. Who's asking?
"BURR?!" Several people exclaimed.
Hamilton drew a breath before adding, "I can't believe that you, famous for having no opinions and not doing anything that could be perceived as controversial, would fucking murder me!"
"Alex, language," Eliza scolded, "There are children here."
"I may not care for Hamilton, Burr," Angelica spat, "but I care for my sister and my niece and nephews, and I know how devastated they would be if Hamilton were to be murdered. If any member of my family gets hurt, or god-forbid dies, and any of you knew, could have stopped it, or caused it, then nothing in this universe will save you from me."
"Huh, didn't know Burr could hold a grudge for more than a day," Laurens commented dubiously.
"Um, it's not for Washington choosing Hamilton for right-hand man," Nova flinched, seemingly waiting for someone to get angry with her.
[HAMILTON]
Oh, well, sure, sir
I'm Alexander Hamilton, I'm at your service, sir
I have been looking for you
"Mon petit lion, that is, how you say, creepy?" Lafayette chuckled.
"You do not get to say 'How you say'. You're fluent in English," Mulligan glared jokingly.
"Petit lion?" Philip asked incredulously, looking from his father to Lafayette and back again.
[BURR]
I'm getting nervous
[HAMILTON]
Sir…
I heard your name at Princeton. I was seeking an accelerated course of study when I got sort of out of sorts with a buddy of yours. I may have punched him. It's a blur, sir. He handles the financials?
"Alex, you don't punch people," Laurens said.
"Coming from the man who tried shooting a second time in a duel," Hamilton mock-scowled.
Washington sighed, well used to the dynamics of that group.
[BURR]
You punched the bursar
[HAMILTON]
Yes!
I wanted to do what you did. Graduate in two, then join the revolution. He looked at me like I was stupid, I'm not stupid
So how'd you do it? How'd you graduate so fast?
[BURR]
It was my parents' dying wish before they passed
[HAMILTON]
You're an orphan. Of course! I'm an orphan
"Jesus, Hamilton. No need to sound excited at learning I don't have parents," Burr said, annoyed.
God, I wish there was a war!
Then we could prove that we're worth more
Than anyone bargained for…
[BURR]
Can I buy you a drink?
[HAMILTON]
That would be nice
[BURR]
While we're talking, let me offer you some free advice
Talk less
"Ha, good luck!" Jefferson snorted.
[HAMILTON]
What?
[BURR]
Smile more
"Alex, honey, your smile is really nice, but I hardly see it," Eliza said lovingly.
Philip fake-gagged, "I don't need to see my parents flirt."
[HAMILTON]
Ha
[BURR]
Don't let them know what you're against or what you're for
[HAMILTON]
You can't be serious
"Is Burr anything but?" Mulligan wondered, partially serious.
[BURR]
You wanna get ahead?
[HAMILTON]
Yes
[BURR]
Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead
[LAURENS]
Yo yo yo yo yo!
What time is it?
"Is… Is that foreshadowing?" Laurens asked, wincing at the reminder of his death.
"I think so," Denki said, a tad upset himself.
[LAURENS/LAFAYETTE/MULLIGAN]
Showtime!
[BURR]
Like I said…
[LAURENS]
Showtime! Showtime Yo!
I'm John Laurens in the place to be!
Two pints o' Sam Adams, but I'm workin' on three, uh!
"That's a lot of alcohol," Peggy pointed out. Laurens waved his hand as if to say, 'It's not that much'.
Those redcoats don't want it with me!
Cuz I will pop chick-a pop these cops till I'm free!
"Pop chick-a pop? That's not a word," Hamilton pointed out, like a grammar-n*zi.
"I think it's meant to mimic gunshots," Nova guessed, "It's not meant to mean anything."
[LAFAYETTE]
Oui oui, mon ami, je m'appelle Lafayette!
The Lancelot of the revolutionary set!
"Wow, full of yourself much?" Hamilton teased, as Laurens laughed.
Lafayette only flexed and pushed his hair back in response.
I came from afar just to say "Bonsoir!"
Tell the King "Casse toi!" Who's the best?
C'est moi!
[MULLIGAN]
Brrrah brraaah! I am Hercules Mulligan
Up in it, lovin' it, yes I heard ya mother said, "Come again?"
[LAFAYETTE & LAURENS]
Ayyyyy
[MULLIGAN]
Lock up ya daughters and horses, of course
It's hard to have intercourse over four sets of corsets…
"I don't have sex with horses!" Mulligan sputtered.
"Sure, surrre."
[LAFAYETTE]
Wow
[LAURENS]
No more sex, pour me another brew, son!
Let's raise a couple more…
"More alcohol?" Angelica raised an eyebrow.
[LAURENS/LAFAYETTE/MULLIGAN]
To the revolution!
[LAURENS]
Well, if it ain't the prodigy of Princeton college!
[MULLIGAN]
Aaron Burr!
[LAURENS]
Give us a verse, drop some knowledge!
"Leave me out of this, please," Burr pleaded.
[BURR]
Good luck with that: you're takin' a stand
You spit. I'm 'a sit. We'll see where we land
[LAFAYETTE/MULLIGAN]
Boooo!
[LAURENS]
Burr, the revolution's imminent. What do you stall for?
[HAMILTON]
If you stand for nothing, Burr, what'll you fall for?
[MULLIGAN/LAFAYETTE/LAURENS]
Ooh
Who you?
Who you?
Who are you?
"Why are you so suspicious of me? What did I do?" Hamilton said, mock-indignantly.
"Mon amie, you are a short, gangly ginger. Of course I was, how you say, mistrustful of you," Lafayette laughed.
[MULLIGAN/LAFAYETTE/LAURENS]
Ooh, who is this kid? What's he gonna do?
"Wait, does it just cut off in the middle? It sounds like there's meant to be more of this song," Philip commented.
"The next song picks up immediately after this one," Denki said, and Nova nodded.
And we're done Aaron Burr, Sir. Leave a review if you caught the DBZA reference, and also to tell me what you liked and what you think I can improve on! I'll see y'all next time with My Shot!
