My Dearest, Laurens | Hamilton FanFic (LAMS)

9 | Us...|

{One week later.... ( I'm writen' a letter nightly)}

Alex's POV

John came back into my room. " You need to get some rest! Go back to the dorms for one night! I promise nothing bad will happen." He looked at me and sighed " Alex, I'm worried about you. I wanna stay here with you." He said. He needs rest, and I'm gonna make sure he gets some. Eliza left a couple of days ago, but John has been here every night for the past four weeks. He needs to sleep. He still has classes to go to. He takes another sip of his coffee. " John?" "Yeah?" He said. He sounded exhausted. " How many cups of coffee have you drank today?" He looks at me guiltily. " 8 cups....." I stare at him and do my best Jefferson impression while saying " My god." John chuckled at that.

"John, please. It would make me feel better. Plus I will be fine! I'm surrounded by doctors." He sighed, then smiled. " Fine. I will see you tomorrow." He said, and then walked out. He understands he needs to get some rest right? Hopefully. Wait. I totally forgot to tell him something. What is it? Oh shit. I'm released from the hospital tomorrow. I will just have to surprise him when he get home from his classes! I close my eyes, and drift into darkness.

John's POV

I wake up and get ready for my first class. I had an awful time falling asleep last night. I kept thinking about Alex. Is he ok? Man, I hope so. I can't stand not being with him. At least this makes him feel better. Also, did that nurse tell Alex about what I told her? Damnit. She probably did. Oh well. I grabbed coffee halfway through my day so I could get through the rest of my classes. I need to focus. I'm almost done for the day. Just one more class. I sit next to Angie, who knows how much I'm struggling right now. She hands me another coffee. " I know it's probably your third one, but you have barely slept for the last couple of weeks." She said. She wasn't wrong on either of those. This is my third cup of coffee, and I really haven't slept. I finish my class and went back to the dorms.

I unlocked the door and headed towards Alex's room. He said he needed some clothes, so I told him I would get him some. When I opened the door someone was in his room. Wait. 

Alex was in his room.

Alex's POV

I didn't really need clothes. I just wanted to get John into my room so I could surprise him. " OH MY GOD ALEX!" He screamed and ran towards me. HE hugged me, and squeezed me so hard I couldn't breathe. " I'm so glad you are home! When did you get discharged from the hospital?!" He exclaimed. " Noon." I replied. " OMG WH DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?" He said. He was still very happy. " I wanted to surprise you!" I said. I started to smile. Damnit. John's smiles are always contagious. 

"Anyways, We need to talk." Man he sounded serious. He went from happy, to serious fast. "O-ok...?" I responded. What is about to happen? " Alex. I need to tell you something.." he said, and looked down at his feet. " John? What is this about?" 

He looked me in the eye and said " It's about us." 

I froze. U-us? What about us? " Alex, I really like you and I feel like we should be..... more than friends..." Oh my god what is happening?! 

" Alexander Hamilton, will you.... go on a date with me?"
