Helpless ~Lams~

I'm helpless

~John's POV~

As I unpacked my stuff I noticed Alex hadn't moved from behind me. I didn't turn around because I had a feeling he was staring at me and I didn't want to embarrass him. I think he likes me. I should still make sure he's into guys before I make a move though. He was really cute. I couldn't risk pushing him away already.

As soon as I was done unpacking I sat on my bed and texted my best friends Hercules and Lafayette. They were sharing a room again, just like last year. At least I get a cute new roommate instead of my roommate last year. Burr.

Group chat: The Revolutionary Set

French Fri - Well introduce us then, mon ami!

Gayyyyy™️️ - Alright, I'll ask Alex if he wants to meet you guys. I can make dinner tonight

French Fri - Ooh Alex? Cute name

Gayyyyy™️️ - oops

French Fri - Damn, already claiming him yours? How you say, feisty? 😂

Murclues Hulligan - 😂😂 we'll be there at 6!

I put down my phone and got up off of my bed. I looked up to see Alex staring at me from his bed. He quickly looked away and picked up a book on his nightstand when I saw him. I could see a blush brushed across his face. Cute.

I got up and started walking towards the kitchen. "Hey, Alex?"

"Yes?" He replied as he dropped his book and ran towards me.

"I'm going to make dinner and invite some friends I want you to meet over here tonight, is that alright?" I asked him.

"Yeah! I'd love to make some new friends!" He exclaimed, grinning ear to ear. "What's their names?"

"Hercules and Lafayette, but we call them Herc and Laf." I said. "We have some other friends too but I only want the boys over tonight."

"And whatcha making?" He said, licking his lips.

"I was going to make garlic chicken. Is that good with you?"

"Sounds delicious!" He walked back over to his bed and picked up his book.

I got all of the ingredients for my chicken and started to cook. After a while in silence I decided to bring up some conversation.

"So, what are you majoring in, Alex?" I asked him. He put down his book and walked over to me again.

"I'm majoring in law. I want to be a politician someday. I can't be president because I'm not an American born citizen. I'd love to be the U.S. Treasury Secretary! I love history too! My favorite founding father was also a U.S. Treasury Secretary! Lin- Manuel Miranda. He was great."

As he kept talking I almost forgot about my chicken. I stared into his sparkling eyes as he talked. I could stare into those eyes forever.

After a few minutes I remembered what I was doing. I tuned back in to what he was saying and turned back to cooking. Then he finally finished talking.

"What are you majoring in, John?" He asked, his elbows on the counter holding up his head.

"Marine Biology. I love turtles. I also really like to draw. Im minoring in art." I replied.

"That's great! Turtles are soooo cute!" He grinned. Suddenly he looked down and blushed. Hmm, weird.

"Uh weird question..." He started. He paused for about a minute and then took a deep breath. "Are you... um... straight?" He practically whispered the last word.

I laughed. He looked up at me, confused. "Yeah." He frowned. "Straight as a rainbow." I continued, chucking. He giggled. CUTEEEE.

"Oh okay, just wondering. I'm bisexual." He said, grinning.

"Cool." I looked back at the food. It was starting to burn. I quickly took it off the stove. "Oops, almost forgot about that." He giggled again. My heart thumped. Oh boy.

I'm helpless.
