We're Just Friends

Chapter 7- "Go into the bathroom together"

Thomas's POV

I liked truth or dare. It was a pretty good game to play when there's nothing else to do.

Today... ehhhhhhhhhhh not so much.
I'm not in a very social mood, but oh well. James wanted to come, so I did.

"Okay, Alex," Angelica said. "Truth or dare?"

"Truth," Hamilton responded, with little to no hesitation.

"Did you ever have a childhood crush?"

"Nope." The gasp given off by Angelica and Eliza was indescribable.

"You never had a crush?!" They screamed. Alexander shook his head.

"Nope."

"That's so weird!" Eliza breathed.

"I didn't have one either," James mumbled. Though, no one noticed but me. So I put my arm around my tiny boyfriend.

"Okay, Lafayette, truth or dare?" Peggy asked.

"Dare!" Lafayette replied.

"I dare you and Jefferson to go into the bathroom together for five minutes. Try to survive."

Of course, they didn't know Lafayette and I were pretty close, seeing as he helped me with French some years back (and I helped him with some English). Of course, most of the people here dislike me (aside from Hercules and Lafayette, James and Aaron, but that's only four out of ten. Maybe five out of ten, seeing as I like myself.) so it's understandable that they think Laf and I also don't enjoy each other's company.

"Okay..." Lafayette fake-groaned. I contained my laughter as we got up and closed the door behind us as we went into the bathroom. I could hear a faint clicking of a TV in the background, and the yell of "YOU CLOD". Weird.

"So, what should we do for five minutes?" I asked, getting comfy on the bathroom rug. I set an alarm on my watch for five minutes.

"I don't know, Thomas. Normally I'd eat some... pain?"

"Bread?"

"Oui, bread. Normally I'd eat some bread because I like bread, but I don't have any."

"Do you just randomly bring bread with you?"

"Well, it's easy to just eat it if you get hungry..."

I laughed at Laf's awkwardness, relating it to my own in social interaction with anyone outside of this group.

Some time passed. We have three and a half minutes left. I look up at Lafayette, who goes a deep red when our eyes connect. He does look pretty handsome. And he reminds me of James, And he's taller than James, which is sometimes nice. But James is my boyfriend...

But, what he doesn't know can't harm him, right? I mean, James is so sweet, if he finds out, he probably won't mind. So, why not just...

I look back at Laf. We both begin to lean in. I have plenty of time. Three minutes is enough for a little kiss, surely?

And then, we connect.

And it's really nice. I'll admit that. I think of James as I kiss him. I forget it's Laf. It's James.

We kiss. For a bit. About... fifteen seconds? Two minutes forty-five seconds left. I lean in for another, and this time we kiss for a little longer.

Thirty seconds. Two minutes fifteen seconds left.

I kiss him again, twice more, adding up to one minute.
One minute fifteen seconds left before they get us out. Every time we kissed it was James.

I take off my watch, forgetting all about my alarm. Lafayette and I are deep shades of crimson, as you can imagine.

I begin unbuttoning my shirt. I don't completely take it off, but the front is open, revealing my chest.

I wrap my arm around his shoulder, letting him rest his head against my poofy hair. His arm wraps around my waist. I lean into the hold.

"James-"

"Yeah Hercules?"

"Shit."

"Merde."

So Laf thought about Hercules and I thought about Jemmy. We realised our mistake.

And then:

Beep. Beep. Beep.

Well, tick-tock, suck my cock.

I desperately try to button up my shirt again, but the door's already opening.

Fuck.

"WHAT THE-" Hercules screams.

James is behind him.

I'm so dead.

"Thomas. Lafayette. What are you doing?"

Of course, I forgot to tell Laf to get his head off of mine. And I didn't button up my shirt.

"Oh, it was getting really hot in here, and I-" I began.

"It's five fucking degrees in here Tom- Thomas."
Oh great. James never curses. I can see Laf sit up straight, face deep red.

"And I thought the kissing noise was just from Ruby and Sapphire," Hercules said, clenching his fists and glaring at me and Lafayette.

James is just silently holding back tears. I can tell. His eyes are glazed, and he's biting down hard on nothing.

"Mon cher, please, forgive m-"

"Shut-up, Marquis. Don't call me 'cher'."

"Hercules, please," Laf begged. "Listen to me."

Hercules and James said nothing. They just turned away and sat back down. I could see the rest of the group now; the rest had their mouths open, whilst Burr shook his head.

Hypocrite, I thought. You were kissing Alexander not too long ago.

I quickly tried to button up my shirt again, turning around and hiding behind Lafayette. When I finished, I crawled back next to him, sitting down.

"I think truth or dare is over!" Peggy said awkwardly, shooing us all out of the room. "Bye guys, have a good night!" She swiftly closed the door, and we all made our way to our respective dorms.

Well, I'm fucked.

Lafayette's POV

Oh, I messed up.
I messed up real bad.
Hercules, Laurens and Alexander walked next to each other, whilst I hung at the back, silence surrounding us.

How could I be so foolish? But oh god Thomas looked like Hercules for quite some seconds and well... How could I possibly say no?

I love Hercules, truly, I do. We've been boyfriends for so long. How can I throw that away?

I bite my lip hard, anxiety gnawing away at my insides. We finally get to our room, and I immediately crash onto the bed. I can't sleep.
Of course, Alexander and John are asleep in a few minutes.

I can hear crying, and pretend to snore quietly.

Oh fuck. Herc's crying. Oh merde...
I've hurt him. I'm such a terrible person. I'm so evil. I'm evil. I'm evil.

Hercules eventually drifts off into sleep, after half an hour of almost silent weeping. I open up my phone and turn it down to its lowest brightness. I scroll through my Instagram.

Most of its Herc and I hanging out.

I feel hot tears welling up.

How could I just throw that away.

AYYYYYYY WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT JEFFAYETTE
I'm sorry for crushing your emotions with this chapter
The next one will hopefully be more Lams based. Hopefully.
