The Trip Around The World (Hamilton)

Chapter 5- I Fell For You (Part 1)

Lafayette's Pov

I groggily open up my eyes, blinking a few times, trying my best to get my vision to focus.

My body ached, and I had tried a couple of times to rise out of bed, failing miserably.

"Oh mon Dieu, où suis-je?" 

I checked my surroundings and tried to get out of bed. I looked around me, finding Herc wrapped around my waist, snoozing. I watched as his chest rise and fall in a timely pattern, a peaceful smile crept across his face. 

He slowly opened up his eyes, being met with my own. My heart fluttered as he smiled me. 

"Hey, good morning, baby..."

"Ah, Herc, mon amour... where are we?"

Herc looked at me strangely.

"Wow, you really were that drunk, weren't you? You really don't remember anything at all?"

"Um... No...?"

Herc sighed, pulling himself up into a seated position before proceeding to talk to me. 

"Okay, so... Long story short, we're in Paris now. And, um, when we got to the Hotel, Peggy found a bottle of beer in her room and gave it to us, the squad...  And, um, you can guess what happened next..."

I stared at the floor for a good five seconds before looking back at Herc.

"So... Speaking of the gang... Where are they?"

Herc got up, gently brushing his nightgown before walking over to a door located at the right of the room. 

"They're in there."

I got up, following Herc as he stepped into the other room.

"Oh, I see you are already awake," John said as he glanced over at us momentarily, only to glance back at his phone and continue to scroll through Pinterest.

Herc scratched his back, making his way over to John. "Uhh, yeah. But hey, cut us some slack. We arrived at two in the morning and had reached a hotel at three. We had only five hours to sleep, seeing as it's already eight."

John rose from his seat, looking over at the time. 

"It's eight already?"

"Well, yeah."

"I gotta go and wake up the others then! Here, I'll wake up Alexander. You guys are in charge of waking up James and Thomas."

I groaned, "Why us though?"

"Just do it."

"Fine..."

Herc and I headed off into Thomas and James' room, only to be met with both of them snuggling. Naked. Thankfully, there was a blanket draping over them. 

Also, now that I think about it... Thomas and James look similarly to me and Herc. It was strange in a way. Very strange.

Herc and I carefully tried to avoid the various scattered clothes on the floor.

Herc began to snicker, pulling out Alex's airhorn he had used on us from the previous days.

"Mon Amour, are you really going to use that on them? They're going to be vraiment énervé. Especially Thomas."

"Ah, trust me on this one, Love."

I watched as he placed his index finger on the button, counting quietly to three before triggering the airhorn.
