A Monster Like Me- A Lams AU

Chapter 17

--A couple days later--

John laughed as he watched Alexander stumble around his house as a side effect of the painkillers the doctor prescribed to him.

Alexander flopped onto the couch on his back and landed with his head on John's lap. He opened his eyes and looked up at John, who was smiling and messing with Alexander's hair.

Alexander smiled sleepily at John, making him chuckle. Lafayette knocked on the front door and John told him to come in. He walked into John's house and smiled at the scene in front of him.

"Ah, mon seul vrai jumelage." He chuckled. Alexander whispered what Lafayette said and began to blush, covering his face then turning and pressing his face and hands against John's stomach.

John looked at Lafayette questionably and then looked down at Alexander, smiling. "Alexander." He whispered.

He looked up at John, moving his hands from his face. Alexander's face was still kind of red, but his normal colors were coming back.

"Come on, we gotta get up and go outside, get some fresh air."

Alexander slowly rose, squinting at the light shining in through the window. John stood up and held out his hand to help him get off the couch.

"Mon ami, I would join you and Alexander, but I must get back to my apartment. Hercules is getting sick." Lafayette said, standing up. He walked over to John's front door and held it open for the two and then followed after, walking towards his car.

John and Alexander sat on the front steps carefully and John put his arm across his shoulders.

After Lafayette drove off and a few moments of silence, Alexander spoke up. "John?"

"Yeah?"

"What do you remember from when you were possessed?"

John sighed. "Not much. I remember being...sort of...trapped inside my body, and not having any sort of control. The whole time I was resisting whatever took control, crying and screaming 'Let me out! Give me back my body!'.

It was like there was this sort of wall, and I was pounding and pounding on it while screaming until eventually I stopped fighting for a while." John looked at Alexander and held his hand.

"But when I heard you yell out those amazing four words, it echoed throughout my head and I gained the strength to start screaming and pounding again until the 'wall' started to crack and I could finally speak."

Alexander smiled and kissed John. He opened his eyes and saw someone walking down the sidewalk and jerked away. He became furious when he realized who it was.

Thomas Jefferson.
