John Laurens x Alexander Hamilton

Jobs and Sobs

Alexander Hamilton's POV
A couple days later I sit at the counter waiting for dinner to rest as I wait for John to come home from his interview. I look over at the steak with tinfoil on top of it along with a pot of mash potatoes next to it. The door opens and I see John. He left whilst I was taking a shower so I was never able to see how he dressed up. His hair is is down yet its not all messy as it usually is, it looks eloquently messy. His dress shirt is tucked into his black pants with black dress shoes. Hes Also wearing a green tie that fits him perfectly. He pulls the tie a bit so its messily hanging around his neck as he sits at the counter looking upset.
"What's wrong?" I ask getting up. He sits and sees ive prepared dinner.
"The interview went like hell.. Thank you for dinner as always." He smiles weakly. His eyes look tired and drained.
"Your welcome, you look like you need it." I say as I put food on his plate. He smiles and runs a hand through his hair.
"Ya know, your hair looks good like that." I say as I sit down.
"Thank you." He starts to eat and I see his phone light up which is right next to him on the table.
"Laf: oui!! Mon ami how was the interview?"
I read the text and see his background is a turtle.
"Turtles?" I ask and he laughs as he turns his phone over ignoring our French Friend.
"Yes, I love turtles." He laughs.
"No way! You never told me!" I say in between bites.
"The more you know." He raises his eyes brows and we laugh.
. . .
After our showers we sit on the couch watching some China IL. John ends up laying on my shoulder and I don't care, his wet hair makes my shoulder cold yet so warm as he starts to fall asleep. I look back and see Baby Cakes roasting Steve. I turn my attention back to John as he shuffles a bit. I watch him close his eyes and I turn off the TV and listen to his breathes. He sits shirtless and in joggers as I sit in a grey tank top and sweats. His breathing evens out as he falls asleep. I can only smile at my sleeping roommate as I as well fall asleep soon after.

Once I wake up I check my phone and see its 9. I chuckle softly at the sleeping male laying on me. Somehow he moved on my lap in my sleep. Softly moving his hair out of his face I look at all the adorable freckles on his face. His face is so peaceful and calm. It makes my heart melt. I remember he likes turtles and it sparks an idea in my head, I should buy him a turtle! I got my tax return the other day so I can!! Okay, so Monday I'll fake that I don't feel well and go and buy him a turtle!! Oh I ca-
"Alex..?" Yawns a tired John.
"Oh you woke up finally." I chuckle.
"Why am I on your lap..?" He asks as he sits up.
"You fell asleep on my shoulder and somehow got on my lap during the night." I chuckle.
"Oh. I'm sorry.." He rubs his face.
"Don't worry about it. You look cute when you sleep by the way- please don't take that in a weird way!!" He only smile and blushes ever so slightly.
"Thank you." He stands up and starts to make coffee.
"Your welcome..?" I follow him into the kitchen and sit at the counter.
"Coffee?" He asks.
"Yes please."
"I swear, someone could just give you coffee and you'd marry them." He laughs and I do as well
"Yeah totally."
"What do you want to do today?"
"Well I have an idea, we have to grocery shop anyway but wanna stop by a pet store just to look at turtles?" I ask him as he hands me a cup of coffee. He eyes light up.
"Really?"
"Yes really." I take a sip of coffee. John rushes to his room like a child and throws on clothing, he comes out in a green shirt that had a hood on the back and some dark jeans. I chuckle and go change into a red flannel and jeans. I roll up the sleeves as I walk out of my room.
"Ooh, red suits you." He says smiling as he hands me the hair brush and a hair tie.
. . .
After we get read we get in my car and go go a local grocery store. John is bouncing in his seat as we drive. After a very hectic shopping trip we go to the pet store. He doesn't know that Monday that turtle he likes most, will be his.
We enter the store and John runs to the tanks of turtles. His eyes sparkle as he looks and talks to the turtles. He gasps when he sees a turtle that has green back that is a lighter than all the other turtles. John almost screams as he studies the turtle.
"Hes so cute!!!!!"
I chuckle as I quickly snap a picture of it and smile softly.
"John you're so cute.." I say admittingly.
"Thank you." He looks at me as he stands up completely.
"I'm sorry- I just really love turtles.."
"I can tell." I place a hand on his shoulder.
"Come on, let's go so I don't end up buying him."
We laugh and leave the store, and god he doesn't know how excited I am.
