Alexander's POV
"Come on Alex" Eliza says.
"No"
"Please?"
"Why?"
"Because he's really upset"
"Yeah right"
"I'm serious"
"Wait, really?
"Yes. He's crying"
"Well you could have told me!" I exclaim and race up the stairs.
I never meant to upset John. I just didn't think it was right to do that as he was drunk and I basically wasn't. I really like him. But he doesn't. He obviously doesn't mean anything he had done.
I reluctantly knock on the door. No answer.
"It's me John"
"A-Alex? Alexander?"
"Yes"
The door knob turns and the door is opened to reveal John, with puffy eyes and a snotty nose.
I immediately hug him tightly and he does the same.
"I'm sorry John. I didn't mean to make you sad. You were very drunk. And I-I, I didn't want to take advantage of you like that" I start.
"You don't like me, do you?" He says, softly.
"What? I do. But you're just drunk. You don't mean it"
"Alex?" He let's go of me so that were facing each other.
"Hm?"
"Can I- can I kiss you?"
"Do it"
He leans in for the second time tonight so that our lips are almost touching.
I whisper against his mouth:
"Laurens, I like you a lot" and then close the gap between us.
This time, it wasn't filled with lust. It was filled with passion and love.
It was intoxicating. Maybe because of the remaning scent of alcohol in John's mouth. But that didnt really matter.
He places one hand on my cheek and the other on my chest as mine rest on his waist.
As we finish he says "Well we should head back home"
"Yeah" I say.
"Can I hold your hand?" I ask him.
He nods and I intertwine my hand with his.
His hand is warm. It's smooth.
Our hands are like two puzzle pieces. They fit together perfectly.
We thank the Schuylers for having us and we were about to leave the house.
Eliza's POV
"Do you see them two holding hands?" Peggy exclaims.
"Oh my gosh yeah!" Angelica says.
"I gotta take a pic!" Peggy says.
"John, Alex, turn around I want to take a photo"
She snaps one picture of them holding hands and smiling like fools and another one where John is kissing Alexander's cheek, while Alexander grins.
"See you all later!" Peggy waves and they leave.
"You alright 'Liza?" She asks.
"Mhm" I reply and walk away to grab another drink.
I always knew they had a crush on each other. It saddens me. Mostly because I really like Alexander...

Third person POV
They walk hand in hand back to the dorm which takes around half an hour.
It's relaxing, really.
The way John breathes to the beat of the rustling of trees and the cold air that hits their backs.
The way John has a tight grip on Alexander's hand.
The way one's hips brush against the other one's at times.
It was all Alexander ever wanted, but he knew John didn't. Because soon enough, it would be another one of John's flooded, faded memories that he never could come to remember.
They walk in peaceful silence until they reach the building of dorm rooms.
Both of them walk up the stairs.
Then, Alexander puts the key into the door, twisting it open.
While Alexander is busy putting his jacket away, John rushes into the bathroom with his mouth covered by his hand. Utter shock floods over Alexander before he runs after John.
He stops at the door where he sees Laurens crouched infront of the toilet, emptying the alcohol out of his body.
Alexander crouches beside him. He gently gathers John's hair in his hand, keeping it away from his face. He slowly pats and rubs John's back while whispering comforting phrases to him.
"Its alright John" he says.
Once John is finished, he falls into Alexander's arms. He is then fast asleep and so is Alexander.
