It was nearing John's birthday. Everyone seemed to hyped about it, like Alex, Herc, Laf and the Schuylers. John, however, was dreading it. All it ever did, is remind him how much his childhood had gone to shit.
On every birthday up until the end of high school, John would sit locked up in his room. Not out of choice, but out of his father's choice.
His father, Henry Laurens, was an alcoholic. He consumed an average of 7 bottle of vodka each day, a couple of grams of cocaine every so often. It terrified John. No one was there to comfort him and tell him it'd be okay. No one was there to hug him or miss him goodnight. His siblings were younger than him and we're often also locked up.
John felt helpless because he couldn't do anything about it. He thought he was weak. And even a couple of years after, it still haunted John in his pensive thoughts.
"Hey, baby?" Alex said, laying next to John on the coach, watching some random telenovela.
"Hm?" he looked up
"What gifts do you like?"
"I don't want anything for my birthday, Alex" John said and softly held onto Alexander's hand.
"But I want to give you something, John. Please let me"
John sighed on defeat snd snuggled up to Alex.
"Love you" He whispered
"Love you too"

"Right okay, so what are we all getting John for his birthday?" Asked Alex.
They were all sat in a small circle in Herc's and Laf's dorm, discussing John's birthday.
"I was thinking getting him some books, you know? He likes reading, right?" said Eliza "And plus, I own some good ones myself that I can give him"
Alexander nodded and turned to the rest of them.
"What are you getting him?" Lafayette asked.
"A turtle"
"Well that's perfect then. Hercules and I can get a cage and a tank, non?"
"Oh yes, that would be nice" Alex responded
John, meanwhile was currently sat at his desk finishing some stupid essay for English. Alex asked him if he wanted to come with him, John kindly declined, deciding that hanging out with his friends wouldn't finish the essay for him.
So there he was. Sitting hunched over a laptop, the key pressing sounds being the only noise in the room. He unlocked his phone and went to text Alex.
