(John POV)
I woke up and my dad wasn't in the dorm, I tried calling him but he didn't answer. I heard the clicking of the keys from Alex's laptop in his room so I knew he was awake. I got up and made coffee, I poured a cup for him and myself then walked to his room. I knocked on wit my foot cause I couldn't open the door.
"Come in."
"I cant't"
"Why?"
"I can't open the door with hot coffee mugs in my hands."
Alex opened the door. "Is your dad back yet?"
"No wh-" he cut me off with a kiss but I pulled away quickly.
"Fine then." He said as he took a mug and turned around pushing his door shut
"Alex." I opened the door and walked in pushing it shut behind me
"No, get out." He said as he started working on his laptop again
"Why?"
"Because I really want to kiss you and I can't and it makes me mad."
"I'm sorry babe." I gave him a hug and walked out
When I walked out my dad was sitting on the couch with a to-go cup from the coffee shop I work at. He looked up from his phone and then he asked a question I hoped he wouldn't
"Isn't that Alex's room"
Of course he would notice that. He dosen't notice what all his abuse caused me, he ignored the drastic weight lose and the cuts then when he couldn't he sent me to a boarding school in a different state. No, he only notices this. The fear that his son is gay and actually happy with another guy over powers any morality this man has. I'm scread he heard us talking and is going to hit me but he makes no move to get up.
"I made coffee and I took him a cup."
"That was kind of you. Now can you show me around the campus?"
I was shocked by his response but I didn't let it show "Yes. I'll go get dressed and then we can go."
I had just finished showing my dad around campus and we were going back to the dorm when I heard my least favorite voice call my name.
"Hey Johnny boy!"
"What do you want Jefferson?" I practicaly growled at him
"Woah calm down. I was just wondering who your guest is?"
"He's my father."
"Henry Laurens." My father said extending his hand
Jefferson shook my dad's hand "Thomas Jefferson sir."
"Can we go now Jefferson? I have work to do." I asked angrily
Thomas smirked "Work with Hamilton I assume?"
'Fuck you Thomas'
"Yes it's our project for Washington's class."
"Okay, well I'll let you go. I have to meet Madison anyway."
With that he turned and walked away
A couple days later , the day before Christmas eve, Alex and I told my father we had work to do on our project and would be going to the library. He was already going off campus for work anyway so I knew he wouldn't come looking for me.
(Henry's POV)
I had just arrived back at the campus after a meeting and was walking back to John's dorm when someone ran into me.
"I'm so sorry sir."
"It's fine young man just watch where you're going next time."
The boy looked up at me and I realized it was the young boy I had met in the quad earlier. What was his name? Ah yes, Thomas that's it.
"It's Thomas, right?" I asked
"Yes sir. You're Henry Laurens the Senetor for North Carolina correct?"
"Yes that's correct."
"You are against gay marriage is that correct."
"Yes"
I saw I slight smirk appear on the boy's face before he said "Are you aware that your son is openly gay and dating his roommate?"
I saw white flashes of anger flash in my eyes but I kept a cool compoused stature while responding. "Yes I am aware of my son's choice in being gay but not of him dating his roommate."
"Oh, well I do hope this causes no trouble between you two."
I turned away from him and went up to John's dorm…
AN: I'm so sorry that it's been three weeks! At first I was having writers block (I still am with the second half) but then turns took a turn for the worst for my mental health. I haven't been okay for awhile now but it's kinda getting better but with the holidays and all the shit that I know will happen don't be surprised if I disappear for awhile again. Honestly this story has kept a tiny bit of happiness in my life these last few weeks. Thank you for being patient ill get the second part out soon. Bye.
