John's POV:
The next day John woke up to a weight on his chest. Still a little groggy from literally just waking up, he just lays there thinking and trying to remember what the hell happened last night. Once his eyes adjust, he looks down to see Alex curled up at his side with his head on John's chest and arm bended next to his head a little further down John's chest. Alex's hand was fisted up against his night shirt, making him look like a giant toddler. He must've crawled over onto me from his place under the bed. Saying that John realizes how weird last night was. Peggy appears to have stolen his old spot under the bed, whether intentional or not. Washington is gone but he doesn't know how ghosts work so he's  not gonna question it.

Alex starts to stir and it's freakin adorable. He must still be really tired cause it takes him a bit to do anything. As he starts to move, he moans a little which draws attention to the morning problem John wasn't aware he had. Thankfully Alex was just rolling over and not actually waking up, in turn also freeing his arm. He looks at his phone to gage the time: 7:30 AM. That gives him about an hour and a half-ish before anyone starts waking up. He could easily hop in a cold shower, be out and relieved, and ready by then. Hercules ran by the castle to grab their overnight stuff last night, probably when he went to get the pillow pets. John could even hack the billing system and remove a shower so Alex doesn't get suspicious when the bills come in since he is in charge of managing household things involving anything writing. Confirming his plan in his head, John makes his way toward the bathroom.

When the others wake up, John calls them into the kitchen for breakfast that he was making for everyone. The girls walk in quietly; Peggy sitting down, Eliza getting a cup of tea John pre-made for her, and Angie going towards the coffee maker. It was a peaceful morning until they are blessed with the giggling presence of Hercules and Lafayette.

"What's your guys' deal?"

"Honhonhon~. Someone had quite a morning, oui?" Shit. They heard?

Peggy gets back up from her place and makes her way closer to the rest of them. "Oh really? Apparently Alexander was too much for you...all of you...to handle?

"Shut. Up. ...Speaking of which, where is Alex? I left him sleeping when I got up-"

"MY SMOL GAYSON IS ACTUALLY SLEEPING!? IT MUST BE MAGIC! No doubt from his amazing fairy gay father:..."

"Hoe don't do it-" Angelica was giving him the 'its too early for this stupidity' look as she addresses him.

"...HERCULES MULLIGAN!" Angelica sighs and shakes her head before she goes to sit next to where Peggy was previously. Eliza gives a small smile before following and dragging Pegs with her.

"I love you, almost as much as John loves Alex," Hercules gives a nod of agreement, "but one: Alex is too cute to resist even without your magic; and two: it's too fucking early for you to scream your catchphrase or whatever the fuck you call it." At first John was a little shocked that Lafayette cursed then he realized he was more shocked that he cursed in English; they sure as hell know he's cursed people out plenty in French. "But yes, Alex is still sleeping, and he sure as hell needs it knowing how hard Jeffershit works him." Oh, yeah, I forgot he lived with that jerk. Hopefully Washington will be able to help look after and take care of him now that he's back.
