Thomas Comes Out

((Finally! Some solely Hamilton-based content! Modern AU, BTW))

     Thomas and James were Republicans. Thomas was president of the United States of America. James was the state representative for Virginia. Him and Thomas were close friends ever since they could remember. They did everything together; they worked, ate, watched Sunday Night Football, and even sometimes slept right beside each other when either of them was extremely tipsy.

    But, for Thomas, it felt like there was more to it than that. Every time he so much as looked into those big, soft, chocolate-brown eyes of his best friend, he could feel his knees go weak. Everything about Madison made Jefferson feel as if he simply could not live without him; his short, curly brown hair, his smooth, dark skin, his short stature, the way he laughed... He could go on forever.

     Yes, it was official. He liked Madison.

    Now, the Republican Party was known, even then, after all those years, for being pretty homophobic. This worried Thomas. Telling his special friend about his true feelings towards him could put both of their chances at reelection in great jeopardy. Plus, what if James didn't feel the same way towards him? It would completely ruin their friendship!  

    But, as Jefferson ascended the steep steps up to the big wooden door of Montpelier, he knew he had to do it,. He had to tell Madison he loved him.

    As he hesitantly rang the doorbell, hiding one hand behind his back, he took a deep breath, attempting to settle his nerves.

    When James Madison opened the front door with a quiet, "Hello?", Thomas just about fell back in surprise, startled.

    "Oh, hello, Thomas," the shorter man smiled softly, then let out a weak cough, "What brings you here?"

    "Ummm...." Jefferson coughed into his fist, clearing his throat, then pulled a bouquet of a dozen roses from behind his back, looking away from Madison and blushing a deep crimson, "I-I know this is sudden... But I've really liked you.... Like, like-liked you... For a long, long time now.... And, I know, you may not feel the same way about me... Hell, I don't know if you even like men, but... I-I.... I just really, really, lo-"

    Before Thomas could even finish what he was about to say, he was cut off  by James wrapping his arms around him tightly in a warm embrace.

    "I love you, too, Thomas," he giggled.

     Thomas's eyes widened in shock from his usually shy and quiet friend's loud actions, but soon he sighed and his express turned to one of love and adoration as he hugged back, grinning.

    "James?"

    "Yes, Thomas?"

    "Will you be my.... Boyfriend...?" Thomas blushed.

     "... Of course."
