John Laurens

I sat watching Cooking Wars with Laf and Herc who were being all couple-like and to be honest I was kinda jealous. I mean, they had each other while I was single-the frickin third wheel.
I was on my third cup of coffee when the door opened and a cute guy with a huge backpack stepped in. Laf paused the show and I hopped up, all to eager to meet who I assumed to be my new roommate.
"I'm John Laurens," I introduced, sticking out my hand. Oh no, my voice cracked didn't it?
I winked trying to act more upbeat than I actually was.
He shook my hand. "Alexander Hamilton..." He had black hair which was in a small ponytail that laid against his back, a stubbly chin, and brown eyes.
Laf and Herc introduced themselves from where they had been cuddling then Alexander stepped inside and I backed up as to not be in his way. He set his overflowing backpack on the ground and looked around. I knew I should've cleaned up.
He smiled at me charmingly, "Where's the turtle?"
I laughed nervously as my mind emidiatly went to him being a stalker. The logical side of my brain took over and said, "Burr has been showing you around then?"
Oh god Laf and Herc are snickering. Alexander nodded and without really thinking I grabbed his hand and led him to our room. I gestured with the hand that was holding my coffee. "That's Bobert. My turtle."
Alexander laughed, "You named him Bobert?" It took me a moment to realize that he found that funny not stupid.
I smiled tightly and nodded. Alexander's cheek turned a little pink and he quickly looked down.
"So, uh, what were you guys doing?" He asked looking back out there.
"Oh, uh, we were watching... Cooking Wars." I mumbled rubbing my neck, I shouldn't have said that know he probably thinks I'm a nerd who has nothing better to do than watch anime. Oh god, what if he's never heard of anime???
He laughed, "I thought that was what that was. Can I watch too?"
I blinked, oh okay, that wasn't so bad... In fact it was actually a pretty good reaction. "Yah, totally." We walked back into the room to find Laf and Herc kissing. I rolled my eyes and after grabbing the remote I sat down above my earlier cups of coffee. I patted the spot next to me for Alexander to sit and he did. I glanced at Herc and Laf. "Hey, guys... This is a new episode so you might want to stop and watch it. Just saying."
They pulled away and Herc made a face at me then they adjusted so that they could see the TV.
"Sorry," I apologized when I noticed Alexander's red face.
"It's fine." He gave me a small smile and I pressed play.

When it was over Laf and Herc headed back to their dorm which was a floor down. Then Alexander began to unpack. I offered to help but he declined it so I got on my phone and texted Laf and Herc.

I sighed and turned off my phone, dropping down next to me. I wasn't really in the mood for a game. I closed my eyes. After a few moments I the sound of typing filled my ears.
I opened my eyes. Alexander was now on his computer.
"What cha doing?" I inquired stretching
He looked up. "Oh, uh... Practice essays...?"
I snorted, "No really. What?"
He blushed a bit and showed me his computer. He wasn't lying.
"Wow... Uh okay... Why?" I asked both amazed and confused.
He shrugged. "Bored."
I glanced at his side of the room, everything was in a messy state of organization.
"You got any better ideas?" he asked, laying his head on his pillow and giving me a tired look.
I could get him into something I like!! But what... Oh! I know... "Yes, as matter of fact I do."
I held my hands out for his computer and he handed it over to me then crawled onto my bed and next to me. "What's your idea?"
"No looking," I said turning the computer away from him. "It's a surprise."
I smiled and typed in Wattpad. Then I signed in and found one of my favorite stories.
I cleared my throat and laid down next to him. "I could read to you," I suggested with a smile.
Alexander laughed and leaned back, "Okay..."

Time skip

I had read to him until 10.
"C'mon. We need our sleep..." I yawned and closed his computer.
"Awwwww, b-but-" "No buts. My throat is sour." He sighed and got up then flopped down on his bed.
"Goodnight Laurens. Thanks for reading to me," he whispered, making my heart flutter.
"Night Alexander." I turned off the light then listened to my heart pounding in my chest, I was in for it now, wasn't I?
