The BENEFITS Of Being With YOU

Beautiful

A/N: Remember when in the "He Said So Many Things" chapter Alex starts having flashbacks of John saying stuff and one of those things is John saying "Don't be stupid Hamilton, you are fucking beautiful'' but that scene never appeared on the book? No? Well I hope you do because this is what this chapter is about!

John wakes up by the sound of shuffling and hums of discomfort coming from the bathroom. He notices that Alexander isn't asleep by his side so he decides to go and see Hamilton doing whatever is that Hamilton does in the morning aside from drowning himself with coffee.

He peaks inside the bathroom and there he sees Hamilton looking at himself in the mirror. He moves his face and makes weird faces, and with every expression comes a sound of disapproval from his mouth. Without even bothering to cover himself, John leans on the wooden doorframe and questions him.

"What are you doin', Hammy?"

"Don't call me that" He grumbles. "And I'm just thinking of how unlucky you are"

John let's out a confused noise.

"It's just" He laughs with no humor. "The only guy you've slept with is me and I just happen to be a poor example of what a hot guy is supposed to be" John doesn't understand what he means.

"What?"

"I'm not cute, Laurens. Or anywhere near attractive to be honest. It's a shame I'm probably the only dick you've ever seen" John frowns at this comment, and pushes himself off the dorm frame to walk closer to Alexander.

"What are you taking about?" He says.

"Huh?"

"Don't be stupid Hamilton, you are fucking beautiful" John says sincerely behind him. "Whoever told you otherwise must be madder than a wet hen"

"What does that even mean?" Hamilton says trying to suppress his laugher. Seeing this gesture, John walks closer towards him and when he's close enough he shoves his fingers in Alex's ribs, and starts tickling him.

"John wait what are you doing stop!" He wheezes.

"Nope" The taller boy states.

"You're the worst!" He keeps giggling.

After a little bit of tickles and a little bit of wrestling they both enter the shower and relax under the water together. After that things escalated and unlike you would think they didn't have sex, instead they spent around half an hour trying to disentangle Alexander's hand from John's curls.

"Damn you and your kinky hair!" He screeches.

"You want to see kinks, Alex? Cause I have a few I would like to share"

"DON'T"
