Yeah We're Freaks, But That's Alright [Jamilton] Modern College AU

Mending Fences

Jefferson's POV

I ran away from the group still mumbling to myself. I didn't know where I was going and I didn't have a clue if I had a destination. I just need more time to think.

The last thing I wanted to do was make Hamilton cry. But why did he cry? We're adults, I'm pretty sure he would've been alright. I guess the argument we had was pretty heated. It wasn't even an argument. It was just a stupid fight.

I'm worried about him but why should I care? Is it because I'm way to sympethetic? Because I care to much? Because I... like him? All of a sudden I spot Hamilton in front of me. He seemed to be running. I don't know what I was thinking but, I ran over to him. Due to my longer legs I'm able to run faster to him. He started to slow down until he looked back at me. I kept my pace and made it to him.

"Alex I-"

"Don't call me Alex. It's Hamilton to you." His voice cracking slightly when he said it. Tears stain his red face like. I wasn't sure what to say, so I just improvised.

"Hamilton, I didn't mean it at all and I really am sorry. I don't know why I'm apologizing but I... I don't want to fight with you anymore. You seem like a good person when you're not yelling and screaming at me. So, can we just forget each other's existence and start off better?" I finished up.

There was a long pause. Just both of us staring at each other.

"Hi, I'm Alexander Hamilton. Nice to meet you." Hamilton smiles weakly, holding out his hand.

"I'm Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson. Nice to meet you too." I shake his hand. It was nice for a moment.

"Well, I should go. See you around Jefferson." Alex turns around and I assume is going to his dorm. But I don't know if he actually forgives me yet. I hear footsteps behind me. It's his friends running back to get him. I see Laurens look at me as they run by. He gives me a pitiful look and continues to run after him. The voices come back.

He doesn't care
He still hates you
He's faking it
He'll never love you

Hamilton's POV

"Wait up mon ami!" I hear Lafyette yelling for me. I'm still thinking about Thomas. When he was apologizing I could hear his voice quivering, as if he was about to cry. It was weird, but reassuring. It was the first time I saw some humanity in him. He seemed nice.

Everyone came up to me. Laurens and Herc were behind Laf.

"We were so worried about you." Herc said in between breaths.

"Sorry, I just got a little heated and got caught up in the moment. Sorry I freaked you guys out. I do have good news." I say. I went on and explained Jefferson's apology and how we are now sort of friends. Laurens was the first to respond

"Wow that's... That's amazing! You'll be able to get to know him! Then when you ask him to be your boyfriend​ you guys can fu-"

"And that is enough." Lafyette covers Laurens' mouth like they would in a sitcom. I try to hold in my laugh, but of course it fails.

"So, we should get to our dorms. It looks like it might rain soon." Herc says. And so we do. But I can't help but be negative. I can't forget the things he said, or when he blackmailed me to tell him about the affair. He hasn't been a good person... No, I should have faith in him. If he can turn a new leaf than I should as well.

Jefferson's POV

As I walked over to my dorm, I see Madison on the steps. He looks worried.

"Jefferson where have you been?! You should've been here about an hour ago. You've been weird lately." Madison started going on about it.

"James, slow down. What's wrong?" Madison breathed in a little bit.

"There are cockroaches in the dorm. So we need to find someone else's dorm to live in." Madison says a little calmer.

"Well... I think I might know a certain guy."
