11 - Am I Pretty?

Song: On Top Of The World - Greek Fire

Ya boi Alex is back with two broken ribs and a fractured wrist :)

"Hey Herc?" Lafayette asked before they left the house.
Hercules turned to him, raising an eyebrow.
Lafayette stepped forward, smiling. "Go out with me?"
Hercules laughed, picking him up, swinging him around and kissing him. "Yes", he whispered, pressing his forehead against his newly claimed boyfriend's. "Absolutely yes."

Lafayette giggled as Hercules lifted him, carrying him bridal style. He placed his arms around his boyfriend's neck, occasionally pressing kisses into his skin. He felt like he was floating, which he technically was because Hercules was carrying him.
They met up with John and Alex, Lafayette a giggling mess and Hercules just smiling widely.

Alex raised an eyebrow. "Did he finally ask you out?" he asked Lafayette.
Lafayette, still giggling, shook his head. "I asked him."
John whipped out his phone, texting Peggy, who came sprinting up to them a minute or two later after Alex had grilled the two boyfriends for details.
"I came as soon as I heard", Peggy gasped. She ran up to Hercules, jumping on his back and squealing, nearly making him drop Lafayette, who shrieked.

"Peggy, you asshole", Lafayette gasped, gripping onto Hercules tighter.
"Guys, we're gonna be late", John said, smiling at Hercules, who seemed to have no problem walking with two people clinging to him and his and Lafayette's full backpacks in his hand.
John grinned, running up behind Alexander and leaping onto his back.
The shorter boy squeaked in surprise, almost toppling over but managing to slide his backpack off and grab onto John.

Hercules grunted, scooping Alex's backpack off the ground and letting it hang off his arm with the other two.
"Holy shit, Hercules, how are you carrying so much?" Peggy asked, as Hercules walked after the shrieking gays in front. "Uh, skill?" he muttered.

Alex swung around, sprinting back towards Hercules and the others, John screeching from his back.
"Hey Herc?" Alex asked. "D'you reckon you could carry two more people?"
"Along with three full backpacks, Peggy and my beautiful boyfriend?" Hercules asked.
"Yeah."
"Probably not, no."
"Aw."

John suddenly kicked him in the side, making Alexander yelp.
"Go!" he yelled.
Alex started sprinting to the school, wheezing in pain.
Hercules sighed and continued walking after them.

When they walked into History, fashionably late, Washington just sighed, pointing to their table.
Hercules, being the mom friend, handed his friends their backpacks before taking his seat. He rubbed his eyes, already knowing there was heavy bags under them. Everything was blurry and his eyes were half-closed. He sighed, reaching deep into his bag and pulling out a dust-covered and dented glasses case. He took out the slightly battered glasses and placed them on his nose, the world turning to HD.

With a HD world came a HD boyfriend. Hercules stared shamelessly at Lafayette. The French boy had his chin in his palm, a small smile on his face as he hummed quietly to himself. His hair was in a scraggly bun, some strands loose and framing his face. He was wearing a frayed grey sweater, the sleeves pulled over his hands as his free hand tapped a steady rhythm on the table.
John kicked his leg under the table.
Hercules turned to him, making an indignant noise.
"You were staring", John pointed out.
"I'm just admiring the view", Hercules smirked.

Hercules glanced to his right, seeing Lafayette blushing and hiding his face in his hands.
John laughed. Peggy grinned.
"Mr Mulligan, if you could possibly contain your homosexuality until lunch while I continue teaching my lesson, it would be appreciated by me and your other teachers", Washington commented drily, smiling at a flustered Lafayette, who he had always had a soft spot for.
Hercules laughed. "Sorry, sir."
