The dark haired male strode past, before pausing and walking backwards a few paces to focus on the form of a quite attractive freckled man. The males ponytail swished slightly, curls twisting in a confusing fashion. The tanned man sent him a wink causing his face to instantly flush as he straightened the books in his arms and grinned slightly back. The man stepped outside and joined him, his smirk widening as he took in the slight flush. "Hi, I'm John." He said, extending his hand.
"I'm Alexander, you can call me Alex if you want." His voice was rushed slightly. John quirked an eyebrow and tilted his head, loosening the ponytail that held up his wild curls.
"You're not from around here, are you? I haven't seen you around here before." he shook his head after Alex had shifted his books to his other side. John grinned widely before taking a step back. "How about you come out with me and my friends to get a drink later. I think I like you." Alex paused before nodding slightly and mumbling,
"my friends and I." John laughed and turned away before quickly remembering something and pulling a pen out of seemingly nowhere. He tugged Alexander's arm over to him (John) and scribbled something down before winking and strolling away, curling the pen in his hands. Alex waved slightly before sighing and shuffling away.
A few hours later, Alex had ditched the majority of his books and had tucked a small notebook into his pockets. He sent John a quick text and the man responded immediately, sending him the address of the place.
As soon as he stepped inside, a slightly drunk as he draped himself over Alex's shoulders.
"Hey, Alex. Come on. These are my friends. This is- Lafayette,and here is Hercules." The two grinned drunkenly up at the man, who grinned back and slid into a seat right at John's side. Oddly enough, the group lapsed into an easily flowing conversation, downing drinks every few minutes. The drunker they were, the louder they got, laughing obnoxiously and drawing the attention of a few nearby tables.
As soon as Alex ended up drunk, he was more energetic about things and loosened up a great amount. That's when a man walked in. Alex's eyes widened and he grinned before striding over, missing the smirk that sat on Lafayette and Hercules faces as they watched John gaze after the man.
"Pardon me, but are you Aaron Burr, sir?" The man turned to him and quirked an eyebrow.
"That depends on who might be asking." Alex grinned but forced himself to contain his excitement.
"I'm Alexander Hamilton. I'm at your service, sir. You're the reason that I came to America, to learn to be more like you." His eyes sparkled as Burr smirked slightly.
"I didn't know that you thought so highly of me, it's making me nervous."
"Sir, I heard your name in Princeton, I was seeking accelerated group of study when I got sort of out of sorts with a buddy of yours, I may have punched him." His face quickly flushed," It's a blur sir. He handled the financials..?" He peered up shyly at the man who deadpanned down at him.
"You hit the bursar?" Alex's face darkened a reasonable amount, a loud blush overtaking the majority of his face, prompting the laughter of Laurens' table. They slunk over and draped their arms across Alexander's shoulders.
"Well well well, if it isn't Aaron Burr, sir." Laurens quirked an eyebrow, his endless curls shifting and tickling Alexander's cheek. Burr sighed and his smile wavered slightly at the sight of these weirdo's.
"Hello." He paused before backing up slightly.
"I think that this is my cue to leave. I might see you around again later Alex." And then he was gone. Lafayette snickered as the man strode away shaking his head.
"Come on we should get back to our seats before they get taken." Herc offered, gesturing towards where they had previously been sitting. As soon as they reached their seats, they began chatting again, Alex completely missing the pair of eyes that were lovingly focused on him.
"Why are you so obsessed with Burr anyways?" Alex's eyes brightened. "For a while, I've been a huge part of so many things from where I used to live and then someone had told me about Burr, who is one of the most educated men that we ever heard of back there. I wanted to, want to, be just like him. Except he doesn't really do as many debates as I do. Or probably gets into as many fights as I end up in, but I want the same kind of education." He paused for a second, leaving a chance for Lafayette to speak,
"You do debates? That's wonderful, you could help Laurens out here. He has been fighting for rights as long as I can remember, or at least since I met him when I got here from France." John's cheeks flushed and he blinked, realizing that Alex was now looking at him.
"Yeah, I've been fighting for all people's rights. Even though we already fought so many wars for these things, there are so many things that could still be better." He had stuttered at the beginning but his voice quickly studied as his eyes glazed over and he grinned.
"Well if that's what Laurens does, what about you guys? What do you do?"
"I've been basically trying to help anyone that I can, that was one of the reasons that I came to America. I would tell you how I got here, but it's a bit strange." He hummed and his cheeks flushed lightly, leaving Alex to wonder if that was from the alcohol or the oddness of how he had gotten here. With a raised eyebrow, the man turned to Hercules, who was fiddling with the hem of his vest and mumbling things.
"I make clothes." After rolling his eyes, John leaned forwards and spoke instead.
"He does way more than that. The clothes that he makes are amazing. He made his entire outfit and it hardly took him three days. I don't get why he is so underrated." Hercs face flushed at the complement and as of now, the entire group was a blushing mess. A few thoughts rushed through John's face as gazed at Alex,
'I am so gay. I am sososos gay. Why did he have to make me so gay? I'm not complaining though. I think I'm in love.' A silly smile stretched across his lips as he swirled the glass in his hands.
"Hey John…" The man hesitated when said man's orbs glanced up towards him. "I'm gonna go. 'I'll text you later alright?" He stood and quickly downed the rest of his glass, shooting the group a small smile before he walked away. As soon as alex was out of earshot, Lafayette and Herc turned to Laurens, grins on their faces.
"You are so gay for him." They purred, wiggling their eyebrows.
"Shut up." He muttered. A small voice in his head however said- "They are so right.."
