Falling in Love (Alexander X Reader)

My First Fight

Dad, or should I say General Washington, gathered up all the soldiers and we headed to Kips Bay.

"Listen up, soldiers. I don't know how to say this but Admiral Howe's got thirty-two thousand troops on the New York Harbor, and we are surrounded. The worst part is we are outgunned", he announced.

"What?", everyone questions.

"Out manned", he continued.

"What?", everyone repeated.

"Outnumbered", he yelled.

"What?", again the soldiers didn't like what he was saying.

"Out planned", Dad told them.

Everyone looked at each other and said ,"Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck", is everyone turning into chickens? No that's ridiculous, Y/N!

"We gotta make an all out stand", he demanded, "Ayo, I'm gonna need a right-hand man"

I looked at Alexander and the crew, I swear I saw Alexander's eyes sparkle.

"Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck", the soldiers clucked. What the f*ck happen to these soldiers? Did they take some kind potion? Am I going to turn into a chicken too? Stop being stupid, Y/N! There is no such thing as potions and it is not humanly possible to turn into a chicken. I look at dad as the soldiers stand there, he spaces out for a second, I could hear every word in his head, Can I be honest for just a second? For just a millisecond? Let my guard and tell people how I feel a second? Now I'm the model of a modern major general, the venerated Virginian veteran whose men are all lining up, to put me on the pedestal. Writin' letters to relatives. Embellishin' my elegance and eloquence. But the elephant is in the room, the truth is in ya' face when ya' hear the British cannons go...

All of the sudden we hear BOOM!, and the ground seemed to shake, as everyone ducked.

Dad keeps thinking, Any hope of success is fleeting. How can I keep leading when the people I'm leading keep retreating?

Everyone stays to wait to see what the General does, yet he repeats, "We are outgunned!"

"What?", everyone still in chock from the cannon blast.

"Out manned"

"What?"

"Outnumbered, out planned"

"Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck", WHAT THE F*CK IS HAPPENING TO THESE PEOPLE???

"We gotta make an all outstand. Ayo, I'm gonna need a right hand man"

"buck, buck, buck, buck, buck", these people are nuts.

"INCOMING!", everybody ducks again, but I decided to get closer to Alexander, as I saw the cannon ball go towards my direction. Alexander and I walk towards the bar where Hercules is already drinking.

"They're battering down the Battery check the damages, We gotta stop 'em and rob 'em of their advantages. Let's make a stand with the stamina God has granted us. Hamilton won't abandon ship. Yo, let's steal their cannons", Alexander plans.

"That's a great idea", I jump in, "I'll join you"

----------------

We sneak on to the ships and steal the cannons without getting caught. We head back to where Dad was and we fired, BOOM!

We fired another, BOOM!

Hercules, Alexander and I see Dad as he motioned the soldiers to abandon Kips Bay. The ships go down as we keep firing.

-------------------------------

We get back to the tents, cheering our bravery.

"We did a good job guys, and for that, our bravery will be remembered", I smiled as I hugged Hercules and Alexander.

"Excuse me, but General Washington wishes to see Alexander Hamilton"

-----------------

Everybody except Alexander are at the tent, waiting to, hopefully, see Alexander.

"Alexander, you're back", Laurens points out to us. Alexander looks happy.

I get up from my bed, "What happened?"

"I'm Washington's right hand man", he smiled. Everyone in the tent dropped everything and went to go shake his hand, "Congrats"

That's it for this chapter
