Lams and Mullette One Shots

Who Was She? - Lams/Angst

So much angst, I know. And there's gonna be much more, but they all have happy endings! ❤️

|Alex flirts with one of the women staying at camp. He's in a relationship with John at the moment, which he knows, but does it anyway. He finds it all fun and games...|

Alex and John had just started their relationship about 7 months ago, and John was determined to change Alex. Since John met Alex, he's been arrogant and made jokes John doesn't really like. But he still loved him. It was just going to take some time.

Women started coming to the camp to nurse the soldiers and provide help. Some of them were soldiers' wives while others could be widows or simply never married. And one couldn't keep her eyes off of Alex. Everyone knew Alex was a fine looking young man, and quite the flirt. But he was already taken.

One day, she decided to make a move. Alex was walking by with paper work in his hands, on his way to deliver them to Washington. The woman was under her tent when she called Alex over, "Sir!" Alex turned his head and stopped.

"Yes, ma'am?" Alex said, laced with his usual charm.

"I must say," she began, "You have quite the handsome face. Are you with a spouse?"

Alex chuckles and walks towards the woman. He had no interest in her, but he had to admit she was pretty. What's the harm in flirting a little? He knows he'll never leave John.

"I am not," Alex answers, technically being truthful, "Why do you ask?"

The woman reached out and ran her hand over the buttons on Alex's uniform, "I can't help but want to know you better," she flirted.

"Oh," Alex chuckled, "I think we could make that happen. But it'll have to be some other time, I have to deliver these to Washington, ma'am. Good day!"

"Wait!" She called out as Alex took only one step. She grabbed Alex's wrists gently and pulled him into a kiss, which Alex took. John kisses better, Alex thought. Once he pulled away, he smiled at the woman and she released his wrists, returning the smile. They parted ways and as Alex turned around, he saw John walking towards him with an angry look on his face.

Oh boy, Alex thought, knowing he was about to be in trouble. John stopped in front of him and crossed his arms, "Who was she?" He asked.

Alex chuckled nervously, "Just some girl."

"Some girl?" John scoffed, "If she's some girl, then why were you eating her face off?"

"Eating her face off?" Alex rubbed the back of his neck, "What are you talking about?" Alex tried playing dumb, but John wasn't having it.

John grabbed Alex's arm and led him back to their own tent. They shared a tent due to Washington's request. Sure, John would've forgiven Alex if he wouldn't have played dumb. It probably would've convinced John that Alex didn't know why the woman did that, but playing dumb only added to John's suspicions.

Once they reached the tent, Alex sat on their cot and looked up at John, who was standing in front of him with his arms crossed. "So, what's the deal?" John asked, wanting answers.

"There's no deal," Alex shrugged, "She kissed me."

"So what if she did?" John threw his arms up, "You didn't push her back! I saw the whole thing."

Alex scoffed, "That's embarrassing."

"So, you don't care?" John squinted.

Alex shrugged again, "You know I love you, John. So, what's wrong?"

"What's wrong is you're being ignorant," John answered quickly, "You obviously don't care how I feel about this, just because it's for your own satisfaction!"

Alex stood and was only about a foot away from John. "It didn't mean anything, John. I was just having fun."

"And your 'fun' led to her kissing you," John said through gritted teeth.

"It was one kiss, big deal! You kiss me all the time!"

"I'm not sure I will anymore, not after you've covered your lips with that woman's slobber!"

"It was only for a few seconds!"

"Oh, well then maybe we should go find her again so it can last longer!"

Alex scoffed, "John, you're being ridiculous."

"And you're being arrogant."

"Shut up!"

"Don't tell me to shut up, you rat!"

"I'll do what I want!"

"Just apologize!" John said through gritted teeth before taking a breath and speaking a little softer, "It's the least you could do," He didn't want to fight longer, it's been a long day.

Alex was a bit surprised at John's sudden change in tone as he watched John sit on the cot. It was usual for John to continue throwing insults and continuing a fight, but today wasn't the case.

Alex sat down next to him and rested his hand on John's thigh, "I'm sorry, I swear my heart has no place with her," Alex said. John turned to Alex and smiled gently, then Alex continued with a smile as well, "You've already stolen it, what's left for her to take?"

John leaned closer and kissed Alex gently. His words meant a lot. Especially after such a young relationship, he needed the reassurance. Alex gently pushed John onto the bed, lying on top of him. They continued their kiss as it stayed gentle and loving.

After the kiss ended, Alex rested his head on John's chest and wrapped his arms around his waist. John wrapped his arms around Alex's shoulders, running his fingers through Alex's curly hair. At last, they were at peace. John whispered with a voice laced with sternness, "Never do that again, Alexander."

Alex smiled and promised, "It'll never happen again, love."

John smiled and felt loved again. He trusted Alex, and it was a good thing that he only kissed her and didn't do anything more. Then, John would've actually had to leave him. They would have to get back to work soon, as it was only noon. But, for now, they were just going to cuddle and enjoy each others company.

The end.

Stories now are probably going to be much shorter, but I'll try my best! 🤷‍♀️🤪
