(There's some useless Mullette shit at the end and it's still poorly written but I had to make it longer. Pls enjoy)

Alexander PV:
  I woke up to a text from John. He added me to a group chat with all his friends.
GayTurtle: yo yo yo! Alexander! Once you wake up come to the Oak Tree outside the cafe.
AndPeggy: ya we didn't talk much last week btw this is our normal hangout place
HotPants: Peggy, you didn't have to text. Your literally standing right next to John.
AndPeggy: you're** check yourself, bitch
  I took a quick shower downstairs and came back up to get dressed into a pair of jeans and green t-shirt and brush my hair and teeth. I washed my skin and slicked my hair into a tight ponytail. Then, I was out the door.

John PV:
  I waited with Angelica, Eliza, Peggy, Laf, and Hercules after texting Alexander. This was the day.
"I'm getting nervous," I said as I loosened the muscles in my body.
"John... It is all okay," Lafayette started, "It's obvious that Alexander likes you."
"We all know he gonna say yes," Eliza chimed in.
Then Angelica turned and said, "He's coming!" She then pushed me closer to Alexander.
"Alexander!" I said
"hi"
"It's good to see your face," Angelica said
"I-uh-I... I have a question, Alex," I started but got nervous, "Do y-you want to... maybe uh- oh fuck it. Alexander, I really really really like you. I like the way you smile at little things and laugh when nothing's funny. I like the way you talk. I like the way you're always confident. I like the way you work. I like YOU, Alexander. Do you like me?" I blurted it out. That didn't go as planned.
  He stared at me. He was speechless for the first time ever since I met him a week ago. He smiled again. But it wasn't his usual small smile. His mouth stretched from ear to ear. He was almost bouncing up and down like a happy little 4 year old.
"Yes!" He said as his eyes filled with tears of joy, "my god, John Laurens, yes I like you!" He held both my hands in his.
  He just stared into my eyes. I stared back into his. Suddenly, we were helpless. After about 15 seconds of staring at each other I pulled him in for a hug. He rested his small head on my chest and we just stayed like that. I ran my fingers through his hair. I was so happy.

Hercules PV:
  The sisters and I were clapping for the new couple. We were all able to tell they liked each other. Lafayette and I noticed the first time they met. Angelica and Eliza noticed when John was talking about him in the room. Peggy noticed the moment Alex walked in. We all knew they liked- no loved- each other.
I heard Laf say "I SHIP IT!" And then he turned to me and said, "let's make this connerie ever gayer, mon amour!"
"That works for me."
  I grabbed onto his hand and kissed him. That wasn't good enough for Laf though. He wrapped his arms around my neck, smiled, and pulled me in for another kiss, this one being much longer than before.
  During our big kiss I heard Alexander say, "John, I really like you. Please don't leave me. Like everyone else." Then I just heard sobs. What did he mean by that?
