The two men spent the rest of the day with each other, actually managing to get along without having a serious argument.

They sat Thomas' kitchen table, talking about anything and everything, and drinking cups and cups of coffee. They were the perfect image of domesticity. Of course, because they will always be Hamilton and Jefferson, there was constant discourse, but it never escalated the way that it usually would in the office. Alexander nearly left Monticello when Thomas sported the opinion that pineapple is perfectly acceptable on pizza, but that was about as heated as it got.

It was the late afternoon before Thomas even realized that Alex was still at his place.

"Hey," Thomas said. "You don't have to stay here. I can drop you back at your place."

Alex blushed and avoided Thomas' eyes. "I mean... I don't really want to go back. I'm having a pretty good time here."

At this, Thomas smiled tenderly. Alexander continued quickly, tripping over his words:

"I mean, unless you want me to go, and then yeah, you can drop me off-"

Thomas stopped Alexander and grabbed his hand. "I want you to stay."

Alexander blushed a little more, and gave his hand a little squeeze, moving up to lay a hand on Thomas' cheek and kiss him. The kiss was slow but passionate. Thomas slowly picked him up, setting him on the counter and kissing him back, their hands all over each other. Thomas had to keep reminding himself that this relationship was only for intimacy. Sure...they'd talked and agreed to meet up between their times, but he still felt like Alexander didn't really have the feelings he had for the shorter man, so he'd stay quiet about it. If Alexander was happy with it, he was.

Alexander pulled back to catch his breath, but Thomas wasn't stopping, lips slowly going into his neck, licking and nibbling around his neck.

Alexander lulled his head back, moaning softly as Thomas kissed his neck, keeping close to him as the Virginian went to work on his skin.

Thomas' kisses weren't as rough as they usually were. Something was different, and Alex could feel it. There was less biting, and more gentle caresses. He wasn't sure which version of Thomas he liked more. Right now, he was seeing a sweeter, softer side, but the rough dominant side of Thomas turned him on just the same.

Alexander pulled away from Thomas, far enough to reach for Thomas' hair and pullout the hair tie that was keeping it in place. He used his grip on Thomas' curls to pull Thomas' head back, exposing his neck. It was time for Alex to leave some marks of his own.

Thomas sighed slowly as Alexander leaned and buried his lips into his mocha skin. Soft bites made him squirm slightly and groan, he sat there, accepting everything the other had to offer.

Alexander enjoyed seeing Thomas' somewhat dominate role slip away as he made marks on his neck. Any curious soul could easily see that the man had hickeys lining just about everywhere on his neck, but honestly, neither Thomas nor Alexander cared much about it. Alexander wrapped his legs around Thomas' torso and scooted forward on the counter so that their bodies fit together like two puzzle pieces. Thomas slipped his hands under Alexander's thighs and picked him up off of the counter.

"I don't think I'll be able to control myself long enough to make it to the bedroom," Alex breathed in Thomas's ear.

"Couch?" Thomas couldn't string a whole sentence together- Alex was getting him too worked up. Alexander voiced his approval, and Thomas carried the smaller man to the couch, where he set him down.

Alexander huffed out a bit of air as he was practically plopped down onto the couch, but his eyes widened when Thomas stripped off his tanktop and let it fall to the ground, before setting his glasses aside and crawling over the smaller man, there bodies tangling together soon enough.
