Love is beautiful (lams)

The Plan

John's pov

Without a second thought, I burst through my bestfriends' door.

"HERC!!! LAF!!!"

They were both sitting at a small table, eating breakfast. Laf was so startled by my outburst, the poor guy fell out of his chair. Hercules just looked at me, and then gave Laffayette his hand, helping him up.

"Mon ami, quel putain?! It's too early for this!"

I noticed his hand was still intertwined with Hercules', and they didn't seem to realize it. Cuties. Laf followed my eyes, and let go of Herc's hand, both turning a deep shade of red. I wanted to rant on about how they should be a couple, but first, I had to tell them what had happened.

(Time skip because I'm a lazy chicken nugget)

"And that's what happened."

Laf squealed with joy, and Herc looked deep in thought. Yes, these are the love experts. They'll know exactly what to do.

"Oooo little Johnny has a crusssshhhh!!!" Laf screamed.
Sweet jesus, I need help not attention!

"Guys, I need help with this!" I said.

"Is he gay or bisexual?!" Laf asked. I turned a light shade of pink. "I-I don't know!" I hope he likes guys.

Herc spoke up. "Well, he sounds pretty gay to me, he kissed you on the cheek!"

"We don't know that for sure, though! And I don't want to make a wrong move on him, it might ruin our friendship!" I told them.

"You can't wait too long either, mon ami." Laf had a point, I needed to tell him sooner or later. But I had to know something first....

"Guys, I have a plan!" Herc gave Laf an amused look. "Trust me on this, it'll probably work!" Well, I hope it would work. Our "crew" would meet at the coffee shop around campus tomorrow. This includes the Schuyler sisters, Herc, Laf, and I. I'd ask Alex if he'd come with me, hopefully he'll say yes. I'll introduce him to everyone, and Peggy will pull Alex aside to get to know him, stuff like that.

Herc and Laf seemed to like it, the only thing left is to tell the sisters. I sent a text to the group chat.

Group name: The crew

Smolturtle- Hey guys, would you be able to meet up at the coffee shop around 11:00 tomorrow? It's important.

Pegs- I'm free

Angelfish- same, I'll be there.

Lovelyliza- I'll come too, what's the occasion?

Frenchfry- lil Johnny's got himself a crush!

Pegs- OMG!!

Hotpants- And he needs our help, he came up with a plan and everything.

Lovelyliza- Aww!

Angelfish- Wow, it's about time you liked somebody!

Smolturtle- Alright, alright, I get that it's a little surprizing, but I really do need your help, come over to Herc and Laf's dorm.

Pegs- Anything for you boo!

Lovelyliza- ok, Angie and I will be there in a few minutes.

End of group chat

A few minutes later, the door flew open and the three sisters came in.

"WHOOO! LET'S DO THIS SHIT!"

"Peggy! Not so loud! There are other people here!"

"Pffff, they'll get over it. This is so exciting!"

Jeez, leave it to Peggy to be the loudest person in the building. I hope we don't get reported or something....

"Ok, John! Whats the plan?" Peggy asked. I told them my ideas and somethings about Alex, blushing the whole time, of course.

"Awww, you guys sound so cuuuuuuute!" Peggy ran around the room, fangirling like crazy.

We spent the next hour perfecting the plan, or, "operation get John a boyfriend", as Peggy liked to call it. Ugh, she's a crazy child.

Alex came back at 5:00, and everyone went back to their rooms at 4:45. I was sitting in my dorm, drawing, when the door opened. There stood Alex, his face was stained with tears, and he was whimpering quietly. I jumped off my bed and ran over to him.

"Alex, oh my god, are you alright?"
He sniffed, and looked up at me with heavy, sad eyes.

"I-It's my cousin, he c-commited suicide this morning. I j-just found out."

He started to cry even harder, and collapsed onto the floor. He didn't faint, but he was too emotionally exhausted to get up. I picked him up, bridal style, and set him down on his bed. I heated up two cups of ramen, and handed him one.

When he finished, I got him some tissues, and put on a movie. "Oh Alex, I'm so sorry." I didn't know any other way to comfort him, so I put my arm around his shoulders.

I hope this didn't make him feel uncomfortable. But then, he leaned against me, his head on my chest, and his arms around my waist. He must've been tired, because he fell asleep right there.

I really didn't want to wake him....maybe I shoud just sleep in his bed...? No, he might regret this whole thing. I tried to slowly get up and untangle his arms from my waist.

Unfortunately, he was a light sleeper. He looked up at me with those beautiful, chocolate eyes.

"Hey, sorry for waking you, I was just going to go in my bed."

He looked at the ground. "Um, John, I-um, if you don't mind, will you stay in my bed? It's ok if you don't want to i just, I'm really upset about..." His voice was still shaky from crying.

I smiled. "Of course, Alex, I'd be more than happy to."

He let out a sigh of relief as I got back in the bed. I took my chances, and wrapped my arms around him. He was surprized at first, but I felt him relax.

"John?"

"Yes Alex?"

"Thank you."

I smiled to myself. "Anything for you, Lex." He giggled at his new nickname.

"Goodnight." I said.

"Goodnight, John."
