{[Another beautiful cowritten piece with CuzImThePresident ! Go us! Remember, I'm open to cowrites or even suggestions! ]}

Alexander knocked on a door. Yes, it was late at night, but this was important. Alexander felt his heart racing. A letter was in his hand. He had a sudden realization of his feelings, he shouldn't even be having these feelings. He was engaged. But he did. He took a step back waiting for the familiar face to come to the door.

Laurens opened the door. "Alexander?"

Did I mention Alexander was drunk at the moment? He had to drink three pints of Sam Adams to even get himself to deliver the letter. He wasn't drunk when he wrote it though.

"John." Alexander said smiling softly.

"Alexander, are you drunk?!" John said, tearing up. "You're engaged!"

"John, please." He hiccuped taking a step towards Laurens. "I can explain why I'm here."

"Then why are YOU here?" John said.

Alexander took a deep breath trying to stand up straight. He held up the white envelope containing the letter. "This."

"What's this?" He said, tearing up, again.

"It's a letter for you John." Alexander hiccuped again. This time he looked up at the other, looking into his eyes. He noticed the tears there and frowned slightly.

He took the letter and opened it and started reading it.

It said:

My dearest John,

When you receive this letter, I will most likely be in terrible condition. If you even receive this letter at all.

John, I have been recently discovering that I may have developed feelings towards you. Yes, I understand that I am engaged. But I need you to know, This whole time, I have loved you.

John Laurens, you are a beautiful human being. I love being around you. Hell, sometimes I even curse myself for getting engaged to Eliza.

John Laurens, I love you. Please remember that. I will always love you.

I hope that someday, you can forgive me. I know I broke you when I got Philip Schuyler's blessing...but please. Forgive me.
Also, forgive me, I will mostly be drunk when I give this. I'm sorry John.

-With all of the weight on my shoulders,
Alexander

Alexander, while John was reading the letter had turned away hiccuping and cursing himself silently.

John began sobbing. "A-Alexander!"

Alexander tensed up but turned around looking at John. "Yes?"

"You're engaged." John looked at Alexander. "Lex, promise me, you'd choose me instead of Eliza one day."

Alexander took another step closer to the other looking down at him. He put a hand onto his cheek, hiccuping. "John, of course I would."

John looked at Alexander. "Eliza must be wondering where you are. You must go." John said, beginning to hyperventilate.

"John, please, let me stay a little longer. Eliza was asleep when I left." Alexander's eyes filled with a slight panic. "John, calm down please. Nothing bad will happen to you. I swear."

John began to panic and passes out. Alexander's eyes widen and he catches him. "John?!" He takes him inside and lays him on his couch. He quickly begins to recover to being sober. He takes a deep breath and rushes to get a cold rag. He put it on his head and kneeled down beside him. "John please....I'm sorry.." He whispered tearing up.

"Alexander?" John said.

"John?" Alexander said looking up at him, his eyes widening.

"I'm sorrry..." John said, seemingly looking Alexander over.

"Sorry about what? I should be saying sorry. I should have never came here...I should have just let you sleep..." Alexander said rambling on.

"No..no...I wasn't going to sleep today, anyway." John said, weakly smiling.

Alexander frowned. "John, you need your sleep. I'm sure you have a long day tomorrow.."

"No, you need your sleep, Alexander. " John said, smirking.

"Then how about I stay here. Then we both could sleep. I'll deal with the consequences tomorrow." Alexander said grabbing John's hand.

"That could work~, John said, smirking.

Alexander grinned himself. "Do you need help to your bed?"

"Yeah. I do~." John said, blushing.

Alexander helped John up and picked him up bridal style carrying him to his bedroom. John tried to pull Alexander onto his bed. Alexander lets John pull him onto the bed. He wraps his arms around his waist smiling softly.

John smirks at Alexander. "Alex~"

"Yes John?" He hiccups looking down at him.

"Can you...." John looks away from Alexander.

"Can I what?" Alexander asks clueless.

"Y'know......" John must be hinting at "something~"

Alexander's eyes widened. "Oh!"

Alexander and John had a lovely night that night. But they were very tired the next morning.
