Love is beautiful (lams)

Crushes and Confessions

Peggy's pov

I am in the middle of a smiling fit. The truth is, I already knew John was 10,000% gay for Alex. He'd told me he was crushing on him the day after they met eachother, the same day he told Laf and Herc. At that moment, I knew that I had to try to make them a couple, but I needed to know if Alex was gay or bisexual. And judging by the way he described John, he sounds as straight as a frickin' noodle.

"Erm, Peggy? You're kinda freaking me out...I'm sorry I like John, it's just- I can't help it!" Alex said. The poor thing looked like he was about to cry.

"What are you talking about? Don't be sorry!" I said. He looked dumbfounded.

"B-but, I thought y-you guys were d-dating?" Alex studdered. Is this boy's gaymometer broken or something? Let me rephrase; does he even have one?

"Alex, I am as gay as a girl could ever get! Trust me, I love John, but he's like a brother to me, not a boyfriend!" I said, almost a little too loudly. Alex looked confused. Very confused. I sighed.

"Look, Alex, it's ok if you like John! If you need to talk to me, you know where to find me." I handed him a piece of paper with my dorm and phone number on it. He gave me a big hug, and I hugged back.

"Thanks, Peggy." His voice wasn't shaky any more.

"No prob, Alex. Just, take it slow, since you've just met eachother. I'm sure John has the same feelings for you. Now come on, I'm sure they'll be waiting for us." I smiled at him.

Alex's pov

I was extremely thankful that Peggy had talked to me, I feel alot more confident about being around John now. As we walked back over to the table, John got up. Peggy smiled and winked at him, and John looked like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

"You okay, Alex?" It was nice to see he cared about me.

"Yeah, thanks John."

He put a hand on my sholder and I  looked up, meeting his eyes. They were orbs of green with specks of brown. I got lost in them for a few minutes. It would've been a nice moment if Hercules hadn't ruined it.

"Oh, get a room!" Herc yelled. Laf punched him in the arm, and Peggy gave him a look that could kill.

"Aww, leave them be, they're cute!" Eliza said.

"Damn right, who's got a ship name?" Angie said. The two fangirled about it for a few minutes.

I blushed and looked at the ground. I mean, who wouldn't be embarrassed after something like that?

John's pov

I would've laughed along too, if it weren't for my Lexi looking at the ground.

"Same for you and your Laffy Taffy, Herc. I'm sure you'd have lots of fun..." I smirked at Herc's shocked face. The whole group was laughing, and Alex giggled a little bit. Herc and Laf were both pink.

After that, we decided to go back to our rooms. I sat on my bed, and started drawing. To my surprise, Alex sat right next to me. Actually, he was so close, we were touching. He slowly leaned agaisnt my chest, and I put my arm around him. We sat like that for a long time.I put my sketch book down.

"So, did Peggy talk to you about-about..."

I was at a loss of how to say it. Thank god Alex knew what I was talking about. He slowly nodded his head.

"And, erm, what do you think about it?" I asked him. He took a deep breath and turned to me.

"John, I really like the idea of, 'us'- I hope you can understand that we just met so..." He looked down. I guess he didn't know how to finish his sentence, either.

"It's ok, I like taking things slow, too."
He looked back up at me, and nuzzled into my chest. I lay down and put my arms around him.

"You're light, Lex." I said. He looked up at me with an irritated face.

"Don't ruin the moment, John." He groaned. I chuckled and kissed his forehead. He blushed and buried his face back into my shirt.

"I don't ruin moments, I make them better. Damn how are you so cute?" I mumbled.

"I don't know, how are you so hot?" Said Alex. I wasn't expecting him to say that at all. I blushed more than he did and looked away.

"Jeez, since when are you that flirty?" I chuckled.

"I've been thinking it ever since I've met you, it's just the pure truth." He said. Wow, Alexander Hamilton is flirting with me! Score!

Alex's pov

Flirting with John is super fun, he really is adorable when he blushes. Hell, anytime I'm with him he's cute. I'm really glad our realationship has gotten this far, and I'm very relieved we're taking it slow. As much as I like (cough love cough) John, I've always been akward in relationships, and I seriously don't want to mess this up.

"Alex? It's ok if you mess up, everyone messes up. No one is perfect." John said. Wait, I said that out loud? I must've looked confused, because he started explaining.

"Erm, you were mumbling to yourself, but all I heard was 'I seriously don't want to mess this up'. Were you thinking about our relationship?" John asked.

"I, um...yeah." I looked at the ground. I was actually terrified of messing things up, I'd already done that so much in the past...

"Aww, it's ok, Alex. I won't hate you for making mistakes, I promise." John reassured me. He rested his chin on my head.

"Hey, why don't we watch some tv?" He asked.

"Yea, that sounds like a good idea." We put on some cartoons, but mostly just cuddled on the couch. I could get used to this....
