Lafayette sat comfortably in Herc's lap, watching his husband work. They still had things to discuss, but decided this wasn't the place to do so. So at the very least, they were enjoying the calm before the storm.
Laf ran his hands through Herc's short hair, smiling as the tight curls always bounced into place. He rested his head against Hercs shoulder, comfortably spread out across his husbands lap.
Then there was a knock at the door.
Lafayette moved to stand up, but Herclues refused to make him move when he had obviously just gotten comfortable. So instead Laf continued with his task of playing with Hercs soft hair.
"Come in." Herc said, and Rebecca stepped in, looking amused and breathless all at once.
" Um sir, some people are her too-"
"Exuse me darlin', but this gay man doesn't need an introduction." A farmilliar southern drawl announced.
Lafayette smiled excitedly and stood up and ran to the doorway, Just as Thomas Jefferson stepped into the room with an exaggerated bow.
"Mon Ami," Laf said excitedly, giving Thomas a hug. " How did you know I'd be here?"
"Peggs told me." Thomas chuckled.
"Papa?" A small voice said. " Who's that?"
The small boy softly shuffled into the room. His black wavy hair had been neatly combed through, and he was dressed magenta T-shirt and dark denim overalls. The outfit had probably been picked by Jefferson, based on the usage of the particularly familiar color.
Lafayette smiled, kneeling down so he could speak to the small boy, and he extended his hand out to Peter.
" You must be Peter, I'm Lafayette." Laf said sweetly.
"Thats funny." Peter said, taking Laf's hand. "You look like Papa's friend Gilly."
Lafayette glared up at Thomas, who displayed a triumphant smile. Lafayette shook his head in defeat.
"Gilly is what your papa calls me, but you can call me whatever you like." Lafayette replied.
Hercules sat behind his desk, watching the adorable excange, decided he would tilt things in his favor.
"I call him Laffy Taffy." Herclues said.
Peter's smile grew ear to ear, making it almost impossible for Laf to be upset about the nickname. Lafayette checked the time on his phone, smiling as he relized, cami would be out of school in half an hour.
"I have to pick up my daughter soon, maybe if you ask your daddy, we can all go out for icecream"
Peter face suddenly turned sad, a reaction Laf did not expect. He turned to Thomas with pleading eyes. Thomas sighed, softly petting the small boys head.
" You took you medicine today, right?"
Peter eagerly nodded.
"Then I suppose you can have some, but no more extra sugar today."
Peter nodded again.
