Thanks again so much guys for reading and following this story. Hope you like this one sorry if everything seems rushed. See you next time. Bye

6:00 am

Alex woke up two hours before his first class to get ready and, make sure he had all his things. He crept around the dorm trying not to wake up John. Alex had stayed up for another hour after he left John's room and he would hear John whimper eery now and then. It took all Alex had in him to not go in and lay down with him and pull him close.

7:00 am

As Alex was getting his third cup of coffee he heard quiet cursing following a loud thump from John's room. A few minutes later a shirtless John appeared from his room with his curly hair framing his beautifully freckled face. Alex looked down at his coffee as a blush spread across his face, but when he looked back up John wasn't there anymore. Alex looked at the time on his phone and then went to go brush his teeth. As Alex walked into the bathroom he ran into John. He looked up at John and right into his green eyes and before he knew what was going on he was on his tip toes leaning in for a kiss. After a few seconds John began to deepen the kiss before pulling away and saying,

"I'm so sorry- sorry. I um- I didn't- I'm sorry." as he ran into his room.

Alex followed John till he was standing outside John's door. He debated going in but then settled for just saying what he wanted to through the door.

"John, it's fine, really. And if anyone should be sorry it's me I came onto you first. " Alex checked the time again. "John I have to go to class but I'll come by the shop later and we can talk… I want to talk please?"

Alex heard a barely audible "Yeah" from behind the door.

Alex left and went to class.

(Alex POV)

I walked into my last class of the day, my da- I mean Professor Washington's class. I picked a seat off the the side towards the back of the room next to a girl in a light blue sundress. Ten or so minutes later my da- I mean Professor Washington walked into the class, took attendance, and began class. All through class I could see the girl in the sundress glancing over at me. After class she came up and talked to me but all I wanted to do was go see John.

", out tomorrow?" I only heard the end of the sentence.

"Oh, I'm sorry I'm kinda in a relationship… well, I want to be. I'm actually on my way to go talk to him. Again I'm so sorry. I'd love to get to know you though. The name's Alexander Hamilton." I rambled on

"Oh… It's okay and my names Eliza. I'll see you around."

"Yeah" I said as I ran out the door to go back to the dorm and drop my stuff off. After dropping my stuff off I went over the the coffee shop.

(John POV)

I can't stop thinking about this morning, Alex kissed me and then I ruined it because I'm needy. He wants to talk? What does that mean? Does he want to move out? Is he uncomfortable around me now? Have I ruined everything? I was so lost in my mind I only heard the last little bit of Eliza's rant about a cute boy she met in class. Eliza comes to the shop to pick up her younger sister Peggy but she like to stay and talk when she comes.

"He's really cute, kinda short but cute. But he said and I quote 'I'm sorry I'm kinda in a relationship… well, I want to be. I'm actually on my way to go talk to him.' Like what does that mean? Is he in a relationship or not?"

The bell above the door rang and I immediately looked up and Alex was walking in and right over to me… oh god what's that look in his eyes, anger? No, that's not it. Next thing I know Alex is standing right in front of me and pulls me off the stool I'm sitting on. I could barley hear Eliza say "That's him. Wait…what?"

"A-Alex w-what are you doing?" I asked as he pulled me up.

"What I've wanted to since I first saw you."he said as he pulled me into a passionate kiss full of want and desire. I tensed at first but after a moment I melted into his touch. We didn't pull away until we needed air.

"See, there's no need to run away unless..." but then he lowered his voice and said "you want me to follow you into the bedroom."

"Umm… what the hell John?!"

"Eliza! I'm sorry, this is Alex. Alex this is Eliza."

"If you would have listened to a word I said you would already know that I met him." She scuffed as she stormed out of the coffee shop.

"Yeah shes in my dads class. We sit next to each other, and she kinda asked me out after class today." Alex added

"She. Did. What?"

"At least I'm pretty sure I was kinda busy thinking about getting here and kissing you. But I heard the last of a sentence and it ended with 'out tommorow?'."

"So you must have been the guy she was telling… wait did you tell her that you are in a relationship? You must have be pretty sure this was gonna go your way, huh?"

"Well… yeah I guess, but you did start a full on make out session in the bathroom this morning" he said with this shit eating grin that just makes me want to kiss him, I'm pretty sure he knows that too.

"Don't turn this on me. My shift ends in five minutes wanna go somewhere and talk?"

"Yeah sure, but I only speak the truth about that kiss" and there it is again that grin.

After we went to the park and talked they went back to the dorm. When we got back to the dorm we played whatever movie was already in the DVD player.

Halfway through the movie Herc and Laf burst into the room yelling

"WHAT TIME IS IT?"

"SHOWTI-"

Both Herc and Laf freeze in place and stare at Alex and me.

"Um… What the fuck you guys?" Hercules finally said

Alex scooted away from John and quickly sit out

"It's not what it looks like."before leaving and almost running to his room and shutting the door behind him.

It was Laf who spoke now, "One, Are you two dating now or just like friends that make out sometimes? Two, why did he run out like that?"

"Yes we are. And-" I started but then was cut off by Alex coming back out.

"I'm sorry for running out. Like John said we are together snd when Herc yelled it reminded me of a foster father I had once." Alex said

"I'm sorry Alex I didn't mean to scare you." Herc apologized

"It's fine you didn't know. Do you guys want to stay for dinner and a movie?"

"We can't we're going out on a date tonight."

"It's fine, I'll just make Alex a nice dinner then." I said

After dinner we laid down on the couch and watched a movie.

(Alex POV)

'I need to tell him about Jones. I'm going to tell him after the movie.' " But what if he thinks I have to much baggage and changes his mind about me?" I hadn't realized I said the last part till after John hugged me closer and whispered

"I'd never do that."

We stayed hugged close together for the rest of the movie. After the movie we went and sat on my bed and I began to tell him about Jones.

"In my first foster home with the Jones they were very homophobic and one day Mr. Jones walked into the living room while I was kissing a boy from school. After then I wasn't allowed to be around their son, they wouldn't give me regular meals and Mr. Jones would hit me and tell me I was a gross fag and other things."

I hadn't even realized that I began crying as I continued

"A lot of my foster homes were the same and then I moved in with the Washingtons' and I began to trust people again. They were very okay with who I was and I had my first real boyfriend in my sophomore year in high school after living with them for a little over a year. But even though I've been with the Washington's for five years and they adopted me right before I turned eighteen, I couldn't help but see Mr. Jones when Herc yelled and it scared me.''

John pulled me closer and started whispering sweet things into my hair and giving me kisses on my head.

"I would never leave you for something you couldn't control. If I did I'd also be a total ass cause you're hear after learning about my dad."

"Thank you John" I said as I stopped crying.

"Your welcome baby girl." He said and I could feel the smirk he had as he rested he head on mine.

"Don't call me baby girl, freckles."

"To bad. Freckles? I like that."

"Go to sleep John."

"Okay." John got up to leave but I grabbed his hand hand a pulled him back down.

"Stay."

"Okay baby girl."

I cuddled close to John and fell asleep. It was the best sleep I've had in a long time, I think I could get use to it.
