Okay, so I'm starting a new book with a fantasy AU, I don't have a title or ship yet.
Lafayette threw some popcorn at Hercules, who blinked in surprise. "What was that for?" He chuckled, shifting in his seat. Laf simply pouted.
"You didn't catch it." He shook his head sadly, and chewed on some popcorn himself, drawing his attention back to the movie.
"Is that a challenge?" Hercules sat up straight.
Lafayette looked over to him. "What if it is?" He teased and gently poked Hercules' cheeks.
"Try me." He winked playfully.
"Alright!" Lafayette grabbed the bowl of popcorn and tossed some in the vague direction of Mulligan. It missed and hit the floor and Hercules shook his head.
"Awful throw." He chuckled. "Get a better angle, like-"
"Like this!" Lafayette lay across the couch and threw more up at him. It should've been caught.
However.
Hercules didn't catch it, but instead couldn't move. Lafayette was lying across his lap for gods sake! The Frenchman smiled sweetly. "You missed again." He poked his tongue out the corner of his mouth.
"You- Threw it wrong!" Hercules stammered and took some sweetness from Lafayette anyway.
Lafayette laughed and nodded. "Oui, of course I did." He didn't move from his position.
"Are ya gonna..." Hercules trailed off and instead went to fiddling with his crushes ponytail.
He looked up at Mulligan slowly, letting their eyes lock. "Am I going to what?"
"Nothing." Hercules hummed and continued to play with the slightly taller mans luscious locks. He turned his head back to the movie, trying to ignore Lafayette resting across him. Mulligan quietly undid Gilbert's bun and ran his fingers through it, gently undoing the knots. Lafayette grabbed a chocolate strawberry and bit into it, chewing softly. He pulled the fluffy blanket over him, tucking it under his neck and grasping Lucky the Bear. "Did you take my bear?"
"Oui, whatchu gonna do 'bout it?" Lafayette stuck out his tongue again.
Hercules pouted. "There's nothing I can do, is there?"
"Nope!" Lafayette popped the 'p' and crunched into a strawberry. He grabbed another one and held it up to Hercules, pressing it against his lips. "Come on, open up, 'Erc."
"What's up with you?" Hercules laughed. "You're more flirtatious than usual."
"Romantic movies do zis to me." He winked. "Now open and eat ze fucking strawberry."
Hercules went to take the fruit from him but Lafayette pulled away. "Non, ahh-"
He rolled his eyes and opened his lips embarrassingly, trying not to snicker as Lafayette placed the strawberry between Hercules' lips. The gay movie continued playing in the background as Hercules bit down on the chocolated fruit. Lafayette giggled and stayed laid across Hercules' lap.
"Do you think it's working?" Alexander asked John, their TV volume low so it wouldn't be heard.
John shrugged. "Watching the movie, kissing, making out, fucking. Who knows?" He wrapped an arm around Alexander's waist and snuggling into the smaller mans chest.
"I'm betting all four." Alex smiled and placed his chin on top of John's fluffy hair. He sneezed thanks to it.
Laurens laughed out loud and kissed Alexander's cheek. "We'll find out tomorrow morning I guess."
Hercules stroked Lafayette's hair as he drifted into sleep. "Tired?"
"Non, never." The Frenchman insisted and pulled the blanket off. Only to throw it over Hercules' head and sit up, relaxing against his chest.
"Sure." Hercules laughed and ran his hands through Lafayette's soft curls. "You're not tired."
"Yeah, and this movies not gay." Lafayette confessed to being tired as Hercules blushed red.
"Aww, lesbians in love." He chuckled and twisted Lafayette's hair around his ring finger.
Lafayette rested his head on Hercules' shoulder as the kissing scene came on.
"Remind me why we're listening in?" Alexander questioned, his ear pressed up against the door.
"Because we need to know if they're doing anything." John moved away with a sigh. "Which they're not."
Alex tapped his foot. "What we gonna do?"
John thought for a second before clapping happily. "We can turn off their power! The fuse-box is round the back of the building!"
"Is that a good idea?" Alexander asked. John cocked an eyebrow. "You're right, I have no reason not to trust you!"
John rushed outside and flipped open the fuse-box, finding the apartment labelled with the same letter as Hercules' apartment and had the sudden realisation that he didn't know what switch to hit. So, he flicked them all off.
Alexander waited a few seconds before he heard some yell multiple profanities and he could tell the lights went out. John came charging back in. "Did it work?"
The immigrant nodded. "I think so."
They were peacefully watching the movie, snuggled up next to each other and blushing lightly. Then the lights went out. Hercules let out a yell of surprise as Lafayette simply shrieked, "fuck!"
"What happened?" Hercules shouted, flushing bright red as Lafayette buried his face in Hercules' chest. "Okay, it's okay." He stroked Lafayette's hair gently
"I'm sorry, 'Erc..." Lafayette mumbled.
"Hey, hey, it's fine..." Hercules gently kissed Lafayette's forehead to calm him down, looking around the room.
Lafayette blushed and slightly tilted his head up, half kissing his lips. Hercules looked down at Lafayette in shock. "Oh, mon Dieu, I'm sorry-"
Hercules cut him off by pushing their lips together, wrapping his arm around his waist. The Frenchman was pleasantly surprised, and kissed back too, slinging his arms around Hercules' neck. He pulled Lafayette closer, any space between them became unbearable.
Then the lights flickered on and the door opened. "Hey- Oh my god it worked!" Alexander yelled and the two broke away in embarrassment. Hercules whipped his head around and shot Alexander a death glare.
John appeared at his side, grinning. "Hello-"
"What worked? What are you on about!" Lafayette exclaimed.
The two men shared a glance.
"Explain yourself." Hercules narrowed his eyes.
John cleared his throat, but Alex spoke. "Well, lets not worry about what we did! What about you two? Are you together now?" He stepped into the apartment, John following and shutting the door behind him.
Lafayette gazed at Hercules, still shocked. He gently touched his lips with a smile, he could still feel Hercules' arm around his waist.
"You're seeming quite smitten, Laf." John pointed out. "What'd I miss?"
Hercules chuckled, retracting his arm from Lafayette. "Are we together now! Are we together now?" He looked over at Lafayette.
"Alex, John, if you could bugger off for a minute, zat would perfect." He smiled sweetly.
John dropped his jaw. "Man!" He grabbed Alex's hand. "You better tell me what you saw!" John told Alexander as they reluctantly left.
Lafayette waited for the door to close before calling. "And don't listen in!"
There was a groan of annoyance from the other side off the wood.
"So, what are we? Cause we just took a hop skip and a jump over the boundary of friendship." Hercules tried to laugh.
Lafayette sheepishly reached out for his hand. "That depends on what you want us to be."
"Then I suppose a date would be nice." Hercules softly kissed his cheek.
Lafayette grinned widely. "Hercules, this would be my first relationship. I don't want to mess it up."
"You won't, I promise."
