To The Groom... (Lafayette x Laurens) [Laurette]

Chapter Thirty-One: Attending

Laurens ate some candy that Lafayette bought for him, still nervous and not sure what to think about all of this. Laurens was hugging Lafayette's arm while they were walking back to camp.

"Mon amour, can you ever forgive me...?" Lafayette asked. Laurens glanced at him.

"... yeah... I... I forgive you..." he said.

"Are you sure about that...? It's okay if you don't..." Lafayette said.

"It's just... I'm still trying to warm up again..." Laurens whispered.

"Okay... I love you, mon amour..." Lafayette told him.

"Even though you always called me mon amour in every sentence you ever said to me... I still missed it..." Laurens said quietly. Lafayette smiled warmly, letting out a quiet sigh.

"Lafayette... I..." he started off, nervous.

"Yes...?" Lafayette asked.

"I... c-can I... s-.... stay in your tent, tonight...?" Laurens asked.

"Of course, mon amour... hell, might as well move into my tent." he chuckled. Laurens nodded.

"It's okay..." Lafayette gave him a gentle kiss on his cheek. Laurens started to blush, smiling slightly.

"Heeey, there's a smile..." Lafayette chuckled. Laurens now hid his face.

"Don't hide your face from me..." Lafayette said, kissing his cheek again. Laurens giggled quietly. Helpless. There were like hearts in Lafayette's eyes. After they arrived at camp, Laurens said he wanted to see Hercules for a minute. Lafayette nodded, smiling. Laurens now walked off to see Hercules, he was making a flower crown.

"H-Hey, Hercules..." Laurens smiled. Hercules looked up at him, smiling warmly.

"Hey, Laurens... how are you...?" he asked.

"I-I'm doing fine... I-I was wondering something..." he said.

"Yes? What is it?" he asked gently.

"....I-If... I-I do have a wedding-....." Hercules looked back at his flower crown, the smile becoming fake again.

".........." Laurens knew it, too.

"Can you be... my-" Laurens got interrupted by him.

"Flower girl...?" Hercules chuckled, his smiling became true again.

"Wanna be my... b-bridesmaid... or my uh... groomsmaid, I don't know. Since you're my best friend... always have been my best friend..." Laurens giggled, smiling and sitting down by him. Hercules stopped making the flower crown, staring at the ground.

"........" he kept silent. Laurens looked over at him, frowning.

"Is... is something wrong...?" he asked.

"I'll be your anything, Laurens..." Hercules put the flower crown on him, tearing up and smiling.

"You want me to be what now?" Jefferson asked, blinking. Madison tried to kept from laughing.

"Do you want to be my fucking groomsmaid or not?"  Lafayette asked.

"I guess I can do that. Never thought you would come to me, though. Never thought you would even propose, damn." Jefferson chuckled.

"You can be the groomsmaid's maid, Madison." Lafayette chuckled. Madison now wasn't amused.

"Alright, you have yourself a deal, Marquis de Lafayette." Jefferson smiled wide.

-

Of course, that's wasn't all of everyone...

-

"Y-You want me to do... w-what...?" Burr asked, covering his mouth.

"Yup, Mr. Burr. So basically you tell everyone what to do at the wedding." Laurens smiled.

"I-I get to be the boss of something?!" Burr smiled wide.

"Want to?" Laurens smiled wide, too.

"Y-Yes! Sure! Of course!" Burr said happily.

"O-Oh man! T-That's too rich! Burr, your reactions are priceless." Hamilton started to burst out laughing.

"As for you, Hamilton." Laurens chuckled.

"I want you to be the uh... person who reads out of the book... and uh... does stuff..." he shrugged.

"Oh... okay, I guess I can do that. Only on one condition." Hamilton said. Burr sighed, wondering what he would do to mess everything up this time.

"Can Philip be the flower boy?" Hamilton asked. Burr looked at him, giving him a 'really' face. Hamilton glared, sticking his tongue out.

"Of course he can." Laurens started to giggle again.

"Ha!" Hamilton said, smiling wide at Burr while still glaring.

"Samuel Seabury would do a better job than you, Hamilton." Burr smirked.

"That punk?!" Hamilton snapped at him, anger rising in his eyes. Laurens frowned, eyes widening.

-

"Mom! I'm going to be the flower boy!" Philip smiled wide.

"Aw, that's great, dear! Huh... Laurens and Lafayette... never saw that coming..." Eliza said.

"They asked something, it was a question for you, Angelica, and Peggy!" Philip said.

"Oh? And what was that question?" she smiled.

"They were wondering if you wanted to play piano, Angelica could uh, something about... taking care of the guests, and Peggy can help bake a wedding cake?" he asked.

"Oh? Us? Oh my! That's sound fun!" she said.

-

"Why the hell am I not invited?!" King George yelled, sitting on his throne.

"Sir, you try to take over their land." Samuel Seabury said.

"Yeah, but, kind of lowkey." King George said.

-

"Here?" George Washington looked up at Lafayette.

"Uh... yes, sir...?" Lafayette said nervously.

"Okay, sure, why not. I don't care. Congrats." Washington shrugged.

"O-Oh, well, thank you, sir." Lafayette bowed.

-

After all of that, Lafayette walked up to Laurens.

"Laurens... I was thinking..." Lafayette started off.

"Yeah, what is it?" Laurens looked at him, smiling.

"Do you want to go to France for our honeymoon...?" Lafayette smiled warmly, he was actually happy.

"H-Honeymoon...?" Laurens blushed.

"Yeah, I-I would love to go there..!" Laurens nodded, smiling.

"Wherever you want to go, ma belle mariée..."
