TJeff's POV

James and I were sitting on the couch in my living room quietly. He decided to visit my estate for no reason. He stayed over for dinner and I assumed he was going to stay overnight like usual. But I knew that meant we'd have to play it off tomorrow.

James and I were in a relationship, but we had to keep it secret. It would ruin both of our political careers that we worked so hard for, and I'd hate to ruin James's like that. I also wouldn't want to give Hamilton the satisfaction. I hated keeping it a secret from the world. I wanted to the world to know James Madison was mine.

I didn't even notice I had sighed until James spoke up. "Something wrong, Tommy?"

I shook my head. "Nothing's wrong, Jem. Just thinking."

James let out a small sigh. "You know you can tell me anything, Thomas. It's my job to help you out when I can."

I contemplated telling him my current problem for a few moments, until I finally kicked myself into doing it.

"Fine, you got me there. It's just... I wish we didn't have to keep this, us, a secret, Jemmy. I just want the world to know that you're mine without screwing up our careers. I want to be able to use your nicknames in public, I want to hug you in public. I want to hold your hand and not have the world against us. I hate it, Jem. I just hate it."

James took a moment to take in my rant, then nodded. "I hate it as much as you do, Tommy. But the world already knows, just not in the way you think. In my eyes, the world knows. You know. If nobody will ever know then so be it. We don't need people to know. We have each other, Thomas, and that's enough for me. I really hope it's enough for you, too."

I couldn't help but smile at his response. "I guess you're right. Like always. It really is enough for me, Jem. I wouldn't want it any other way, with anyone else, ever. Only you."

I wrapped my arm around him and pulled him closer, and he rested his head on my shoulder, and we sat together in a comforting silence once more.

Sure, we had to keep this a secret, but James was right. The world knew. My world knew.

Who's the world, you may ask?

James Madison.
