Lafayette face planted into his bed, staying in a rented out apartment in the city centre. "Bon Dieu, monsieur Mulligan. Pourquoi es-tu si magnifique?" (Goddamn it, mister Mulligan. Why are you so fucking gorgeous?) "Vous ne le savez pas. Mais tu m'as emporté!" (You don't know it. But you've swept me off my feet!)

He stood up, picking up his headphones and looking out the window. It was dark. Lafayette slid the headphones on, listening to some French rap music. He starfished on the bed, closing his eyes and jamming out to his Spotify Playlist.

Vivre c'est des chiffres et des lettres

Des chutes et des litres

(Living is numbers and letters. Loss and liters)

Lafayette sighed, there wasn't much to do. He remembered Hercules telling him about a show called 'Recreation and Parks'? Or was it the other way around? It didn't matter, because Hercules had said it was amazing, and if Hercules recommended it, Lafayette could give it a try.

He turned off his music, placing his phone on the night stand and turning his attention to the TV on the wall. He switched it on, flicking through the channels until he found the show. Lafayette's phone pinged, and he picked it up. A message from an Unknown number.

Unknown: Hey, Laf.

Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Mortier Marqui de Lafayette: Bonjour?

Unknown: It's Herc.

Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Mortier Marqui de Lafayette: Oh!

Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Mortier Marqui de Lafayette changed Unknowns name to Hercules.

"What's the matter?" John cocked an eyebrow.

"Did you not see the photo he sent!" Hercules exclaimed, bursting into his best friends flat, standing in the hall.

"Yeah? The one where..." John trailed off. "Oh!"

(Casual Shawn Mendes Calvin Klein reference)

"Why would he choose that!" He kicked the ground.

"Because he looks good!" John giggled, pushing Hercules into the living room.

Hercules sighed, sitting in his friends living room. "What's the matter?" Alexander questioned.

"I'm falling for my model!" He exclaimed, hanging his head in his hands.

John slid into the seat next to him. "Is that a bad thing?"

Hercules whipped his head up. "YES!"

His phone beeped violently, many messages coming through at once.

PegLeg: Herc

PegLeg: Herc answer me

PegLeg: what's up w u

PegLeg: Is it something 2 do with Laf

PegLeg: ?

PegLeg: MWAH

Hunkules: MWAH

He noticed John staring over his shoulder. Hercules proceeded to delete the messages apart from the last ones, he didn't know why. Maybe he'd go back to them if he was feeling low. "What's she on about?" Alex chuckled.

"I don't know." Hercules switched off his phone, glancing at the time before he did. "I'm going to bed, so don't contact me." He stood, pacing into his own apartment.


"What will we do with him?" John giggled, collapsing onto the couch.

Alex sighed in despair. "I don't know. But I haven't seen him like this since..." He trailed off.

"Her." John hissed.

Alex repeated him.

"Her."
