"eh?" hamilton groans as he is awoken by his older brother, james hamilton. he smiles sweetly at alexander. "wake up, we're here." he says to him. he gives his brother time to stretch and fully wake up before making him get out of the car.
"have a good day. try not to get into any fights," james winks. alexander chuckles weakly as he grabs his things and shuts the door, waving to james and walking onto campus. he glances around, looking at everything before entering the main building, with the dorms.
he gets his dorm number- 1776. he walks the halls, attempting to find it. after a few minutes, he finds 1770. not long after, he is turning the doorknob of room 1776. alex enters; nothing's been touched, so he's guessing that his roommate hasn't arrived yet, which is good, because he gets first choice of his room.
the dorm is fairly large; when you enter, there is a living room, and to the right, a kitchen, in the middle of the living room is a long hallway with two doors on the right and two more on the left. alex treads over to the hallway, looking in all the rooms. the bathroom is first on the right, and next to that is a bedroom. across from the bedroom is another, and next to that, across the bathroom, is a closet.
both bedrooms were equal in size, so it wouldn't matter what room hamilton ended up with. randomly, he just eventually chose the room on the right. it consisted of two windows with pastel yellow curtains hanging over it, and a large bed with matching bedsheets. the carpet was white, so were the walls. two white nightstands were next to the bed, with a matching yellow lamp on the right. a dresser stands right in the middle of both windows.
alexander set a few suitcases full of his things that the author forgot about at the beginning of the story down on the floor, right next to the entrance. he begins to unpack his things, placing clothes and such in the dresser, hanging things up, and neatly setting up supplies he would need.
once he finished unpacking and decorating, he stands at the doorframe, admiring his work. he exits into the hallway and shuts the door, making his way to the living room. he sits down on the fluffy white sofa, leaning back and relaxing for a bit. he takes his black boots and blue winter coat off, being left with black jeans, a white t-shirt, socks and a few bracelets [;)] on his left wrist.
he turns the television on and watches spongebob squarepants, seeming he has nothing else to do. he watches at least four episodes of the cartoon before he hears the door open. alexander turns around to see an abnormally tall man standing there, looking at him. his hair is tied into a bun and he carries a suitcase. his black shirt has the flag of france on it, and he has jeans and sneakers.
"bonjour!" he waves to alexander, grinning. "h-hello," hamilton responds, mentally cursing himself for stuttering. he must admit, this guy is pretty cute. "zis is room 1776, non?" he asks, alexander now noticing his bold french accent. "it is," he answers, smiling back.
the frenchman shuts the door and sets his suitcase down, walking over to alex. he extends his hand. "my name is marie-joseph paul yves roch gilbert du motier, marquis de lafayette, but please call me lafayette!" announces the boy proudly. "alexander. alexander hamilton. pleasure to meet you. that's quite an interesting name," alex replies, shaking his hand. lafayette nods. "i get zat a lot."
they just stare at each other for a few moments, not letting go of the other's hand, and simply enjoying each others presence, before lafayette interrupts. "um, ta main, m-mon ami," he says awkwardly, pointing to alexander's hand. "o-oh!" alex lets go of his hand, chuckling nervously. "i-i'm sorry, i-"
lafayette cuts him off. "non, non! it's fine, don't worry about it!" he says. alex just nods, avoiding eye contact. "well," lafayette looks over to the hallway. "i should probably start to unpack."
