The World Turned Upside Down (Hamilton Lams AU)

Part 1

*Hamiltons POV*

After a long, interesting trip, I arrive after what felt like hours of walking at the place I can fulfill my dreams, New York City! I set my few things into my dorm room and crash down onto the only bed in the room, only to realize someone else was already there, a flash of confusion and terror crosses my mind, a boy quickly awakes from his slumber and tilts his head at me like a confused little puppy, he has long curly hair, a face full of freckles, and these eyes, these gorgeous eyes you could get lost in, and he's wearing these adorable little turtle pajamas.

"Oh um I'm so sorry I didnt see anyone here and I just got here and... I'm sorry..." I look down at my feet, ashamed of what I did to the adorable boy.

"Believe me it's okay! you must be my roommate, Alexander Hamilton, right?" He asks me, smiling brightly, I blush when he says my name.

"Uh, yeah that's me, b-but you can call me Alex, and who might you be?" I ask, how stupid it was of me to forget I had a roommate! I'm still looking down because I don't want him to see my obvious blush.

"My name is John Laurens, and would you please look at me, I would love to see your face!" He flashes another beautiful smile at me and lifts my chin gently to make me look at him, which only makes my deep burgundy blush increase, I hear him mumble something under his breath but I cant tell exactly what he said, it sounded like he said I was beautiful, I doubt it, he is probably straight like every other cute guy in the world.

"W-What did you say?" I ask, blushing intensely.

"Oh, um, n-nothing." He looks away, it's so dark but I swear it almost seemed like he was, blushing? no he couldn't be, it's probably just my my eyes seeing only the things that they want to again.

"oh okay, um, if you dont mind me asking... where am I g-gonna sleep?" My blush intensifies to the point I am positive I look like a ripe tomato!

"You can sleep on the couch if that's okay." He says, smirking slightly.

"Oh, y-yeah that works." I look down from embarrassment  again. "w-well goodnight John" I say and walk towards the couch and lay down, my eyes start to feel heavy and I soon fall asleep, happy to be home after hours of walking.

*Laurens POV*

I awake from my slumber with a start, did someone just lay on top of me? I sit up and open my eyes to see a short boy with long messy hair and bags under his eyes, he's overworked, obviously, but he's so adorable, no dont think like that you're straight... obviously...

"Oh um I'm so sorry I didnt see anyone here and I just got here and... I'm sorry..." he looks down at his feet, his voice is the cutest thing I have ever heard!

"Believe me it's okay! you must be my roommate, Alexander Hamilton, right?" I ask him with a smile, just wanting to hug the sad looking boy and praying I am making a good first impression

"Uh, yeah that's me, b-but you can call me Alex, and who might you be?" He asks still looking down at his feet looking sad.

"My name is John Laurens, and would you please look at me, I would love to see your face!" I lift his chin gently to make him look at me, wow he is so gorgeously perfect, but I cant fall for him, I wont fall for him, I'm straight.

"You are so beautiful!" I mumble under my breath

"W-What did you say?" He looks away, I swear it almost seemed like he was, blushing? no he couldn't be, he didnt actually hear me, I hope...
 

"Oh, um, n-nothing." I reply sheepishly.

"oh okay, um, if you dont mind me asking... where am I g-gonna sleep?" He seems so nervous

"You can sleep on the couch if that's okay."I say, smirking slightly

"Oh, y-yeah that works." he looks away from me again. "W-Well goodnight john" he walks to the couch and lays down.

"Goodnight Hamilton." I say "I love you." I mumble under my breath, I fall asleep dreaming sweet dreams of the shorter boy...

*later that night* 

I awake three hours later to thunder and lightning, and what sounds like, crying? I quickly run towards the sound and see Alex curled up in a ball on the couch sobbing and mumbling something to himself.

"no, no no no! not again, please not again!" He sobs, I hug him tightly and rub his back.

"It's okay Alexander I've got you, I've got you." His breathing slows down slightly so he isn't hyperventalating anymore, I wipe the tears from his eyes.

"Whats wrong Alexander?" I question with concern in my eyes, he looks at me and blushes.

"I-I'm sorry for waking you... I-I just got scared... I dont want it to happen again, please dont let it hurt me John, please!" He says weakly, blushing.

"Nothing's gonna hurt you Alexander, would you feel better if you slept in my bed with me?" I ask, blushing slightly at the thought, he nods yes and I pick him up and carry him to my room, I set him down on the bed and cover him up with my blanket and lay next to him, lightning booms from outside again, he gasps and quickly hugs me tightly, burying his face in my neck, I melt into the warmth of his embrace and I cuddle closer to him... to make him feel safer of course.

"I've got you okay? nothing's gonna hurt you." I say rubbing his back slightly, I hear his breathing lessen so he must be asleep, I plant a small kiss on the top of his head.

"Goodnight Alexander." I whisper.

"Goodnight Laurens." He mumbles.
