Brooklyn and Daveed hastily walked into the recording studio, just as Lin was talking to the rest of the cast. Anthony saw them coming in together and smirked, aware of their connection.
"Why are you both late?" Lin questioned
"Oh, um... there was um" Brooklyn began but was cut off by Daveed. "We almost burnt down our- my apartment." He finished for her. "Well you're just in time, we're about to start recording!" Lin beamed. Brooklyn smiled at this, she admired Lin and his passion for his work and was so grateful to be a part of this experience.
Brooklyn went to go sit on the couch behind the producers, since she wasn't a member of the ensemble or a permanent principal, and Daveed joined Anthony and Oak at the microphones.
"You really like her, don't you?" Anthony asked him. "Is it that obvious?" Daveed replied nervously. "We've all seen the way you look at her." Oak chimed in, smirking. "I just really like being around her, everything she does makes me smile. I'm really glad that I met her" he admitted. The cast all started whispering and stifling laughs, to the trio's confusion. What they didn't know, was that Lin asked the producer to turn their mic on, meaning everyone in the room heard them talking about Daveed and Brooklyn's relationship, including Brooklyn, who was blushing furiously. Realisation dawned upon Daveed as he made eye contact with Brooklyn just as the chords for "Alexander Hamilton" began.
A/N: short chapter sorry!! But you know what they say: sometimes less is more ;)))
