Game Over - Lams (Alexander Hamilton X John Laurens)

Chapter 3 - We Know

(a/n: yes i changed the chapter title to fit the song because why not. the original title was "they know something (already)" and then i listened to the soundtrack again and decided to change it LOL)

John woke up to the sound of Laf yelling something in French, and a loud bang.

Just like every other day, he thought.

He looked over at the clock again, and the time was 9:36. He debated going back to sleep, but before he could close his eyes again, Laf had turned around and saw him with his eyes open, and made sure he was up.

"Good morning, mon ami!" He said, also trying to pic up the pile of books he dropped.

"Morning," John replied, half-heartedly. He really did want to go back to sleep after waking up to talk to Alexander, but he knew his 'dorm mom' wouldn't stand for that.

Since John was in King's College, he knew that he shouldn't be staying up late texting anyway, but for some reason, he really did want to talk to Alexander. He knew that once classes started again on Monday that Alexander should go to bed at some point during the night before, but from the texts he has received already, it doesn't seem like that's the case. If John thought he was tired on a weekend, he could only Imagine how much sleep his new friend was getting.

Lafayette got all of the books back on the desk he knocked them off of, and grabbed his wallet and put it in his back pocket. "I'm going down to meet Herc, Maria, and Peggy down at ze cafe, do you want to join me?"

John perked up at the sound of the cafe. "Coffee is always good. I'm sold!"

"I'll tell them you're coming with me," Laf said with a warm smile. John started to get up out of bed, but the Laf finished before stepping into the bathroom "Also, make sure you mute your cellphone, it has been buzzing on and off this morning."

John froze. Was Alexander texting him? And for how long?

He looked down at his phone. The screen was facing up, so Laf could have seen the messages. And since he knows how nosy Laf can be, he probably looked at the screen.

John hesitantly pressed the On button, and a lot of messages all popped up on the lock screen. He unlocked his phone.

47 messages from 'godhatesham'

That's less than he thought he would see.

Laf poked his head out of the bathroom "Come on! Start to get ready to leave! Je ne peux plus attendre la nourriture!" (I cannot wait for food any longer!)

John didn't quite understand what that meant, but he knew that it was a way of telling him to hurry up. He scrambled out of bed the rest of the way started to get dressed.

<Time Skip>

"Hey fellow gaylords!"

John finally found Peggy.

"Hey guys, sorry we are a little late, I woke up a bit later than expected," John explained. "Anyway- Wait a second, where did Laf go?"

As if he were on cue, Lafayette jumped into the room and landing like someone from High School Musical. Everyone in the cafe stopped to look, but also laughed without a sense of mockery. (A/N: heathers reference!)

"Come here you crazy frenchman and sit down so we can get our breakfast!" Peggy said, almost jumping out of her seat. Laf took that as a sign to hurry, and went over to Hercules, who gestured for Laf to sit down next to him. John took a seat next to Peggy and Maria, and they discussed what they all wanted to get before stepping in line and ordering.

This took longer than usual, because John's mind kept drifting back to his conversation with Alexander. He probably shouldn't be so worried about 'Level 5,' but he wished he knew how to get there faster, even if Alexander was just an new internet friend, which he had only met a little while ago.

They ordered their food and sat back down at their booth after Maria helping Peggy to get her order corrected, and they had just started to eat when John felt it.

His phone buzzed for the hundredth time in his back pocket.

Only this time, the whole table vibrated when it happened, so it was no longer a secret.

"Who's phone was it?" Maria asked. Everyone except for John shook their heads, and he just sat there with a fork in his mouth, unresponsive.

Herc snapped John out of it by adding "Laf said he has been hearing your phone all morning, and he has been up since about 6." John's fork dropped out of his mouth, but he caught it before it hit the ground. Peggy tried to keep it quiet, but she snickered, making Maria elbow her like she shouldn't have, but also smiled.

Laf continued the conversation with "Do you have a new friend you aren't telling us about?" He smirked a john, and Herc also failed to keep his laughter in. John didn't know what to say to them, so he said what he thought would be a good enough explanation for now.

"It's just a person I met by accident who is now spamming me with who knows what at 2 in the morning."

Everyone blinked in response, and the table was silent for the first time that morning, until Maria responded "Ah, so he found a new Boyfriend, I see." That made the whole table burst out laughing. But Poor John couldn't speak.

"I-I don't know what you're talking about!" John spat out finally.

"Whatever you say, mon ami," Laf said still smirking. "But if it is a new boyfriend, you know I can still protect you from him."

"Yeah, more like you will slap him with a baguette and become John's mom again," Peggy said, trying to catch her breath and laughing again.

"Vous le reprenez!" (You take that back!) Laf almost yelled, but then he remembered he was in public, and decided to whisper yell instead.

They started going at each other playfully, so John took this time to look at his phone finally, and try to read the messages Alex was sending him. Most of them were rants about things he found on Twitter, and the rest were asking if John was awake.

Peggy looked down at John who was typing at the speed of light so no one would see his messages, but Peggy was a fast reader.

"Who is Alex?"

Everyone stopped to think if they knew anyone named Alex, until Herc asked "Is Alex the name of your Mysterious Boyfriend, John?"

Oh no, he thought, this was going to be a long breakfast.
