Janthony ONESHOTS! (SLOW UPDATES, PROMISE)

happy birthday!

Jasmine woke up to someone shaking her shoulder. "Mmf...wha-"

"Happy birthday Jasmine!" Said a familiar voice. Jasmine groaned. "Anthony?"

"Yep, your best friend." He chuckled.

"How did you get in?!"

"I slept over last night...Remember? Or maybe you don't...you were pretty drunk." Anthony laughed. "Anyway, get up! It's your birthday!"

"Oh, good." Jasmine said, then proceeded to slide under the covers even more.

"Oh, come on, Jazzy! It's only your birthday once a year. Mine isn't for another, like, 4 months!"

"Yeah, guess so..." She sighed and emerged slowly. She smiled at the guy who was perched on the end of her bed.

Anthony and Jasmine had been best friends since Hamilton, and they both liked each other, but neither had spoken up about their feelings.

Anthony grinned back at her then said "Now will you get up? I've got a load of presents for youuu..."

"Hmmm, now that you say that..." Jasmine snorted. "No, I'm kidding....sorta. But yeah, I might as well get up." Jasmine rolled out of bed, then screamed, realising she was naked. She quickly grabbed her dressing gown and strung it on.

She glanced at Anthony, who looked surprisingly unfazed. "...What?" He asked with a chuckle. "I've seen you naked before."

"WHEN?!"

"Uhh, well...there was that one time I walked in on you when you were getting into your Maria Reynolds dress...and-"

"You walked in on me?! I don't remember that!"

"I left really quickly...and then there was last night, when you dared yourself to take off your clothes because you were super wasted and then you fell asleep on the sofa, so I carried you to bed."

Jasmine looked really self-conscious. "That actually happened?!"

"Yeah...it was a little embarrassing, but I didn't mind." Anthony admitted with a smile.

"Jesus, you're so innocent...but thank you anyway, Ant..." she beamed at him, suddenly feeling lucky to have such a good best friend. "Anyway...uh..."

"Oh! Um, yes. Follow me, Jaz!" Anthony led her into her living room. There was a pile of red and yellow presents neatly stacked on top of each other in the middle of the room. Jasmine's eyes lit up. "Anthony..."

"Do ya like it? it took me a while to wrap them all..." Anthony laughed. Jasmine smiled at him, then spotted the dark circles under his eyes. "Did you...leave it till last minute?" she giggled.

"Ah...perhaps..." Anthony chewed his lip.

Jasmine laughed. "You're adorable. But thanks, anyway, Ant, I love them!" She walked over to the pile. Anthony sheepishly followed her.

She knelt down beside the pile and turned to Anthony. "Which one do you recommend first?"

Anthony cocked his head a bit and thought for a moment. "Uhh...the biggest one. Save the smallest till last,"

"Why?" Jasmine quizzed with a grin.

"You'll see."

Jasmine tittered. "Okay, if ya say so." She took hold of the largest present and opened it carefully, not wanting to spoil the nice yellow wrapping paper.

It was a box with a pair of pink headphones and cat ears on the front. "Oh my God, Anthonyyyy! No way! I've wanted these for sooo long!"

Anthony grinned. "I know..."

"Thanks so much, Annie!" She giggled and threw her arms around him.

Anthony blushed, but put his arms around her too. They hugged for a few seconds, then Jasmine pulled back and said "Okay, which one next?"

"Hmm...I would say...that red one over there!" he pointed at it.

"Kayy.." she grabbed the one Anthony was pointing at and opened it. It was a book titled 'Hamilton: The Revolution'.

"Oh, wow! Thanks Anthony!"

"No problem...I've got one too. Everyone from the main cast has their own small page, including you, actually."

"That's awesome! I had no idea this even existed."

"Me too, for a while."

Jasmine chuckled, then continued opening presents.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
She soon got down to the last box, the smallest one. It was wrapped in the shiny red wrapping paper, and was long and thin.

What can this be...?

Jasmine slowly unwrapped the box. She took a glance at Anthony, who was biting his lip and looking nervous.

"What's wrong, Annie?" Jasmine asked, blinking at him.

"Nothing, Jazzy...please open it...this is...it......what's in that box is really important...to me...and...maybe even to you, if you'll accept it..."

Now Jasmine was really confused, unsure of what he meant. "Anthony...I..."

"Please...just open it." His face was pleading.

Jasmine nodded, then finished unwrapping it and opened the sleek black box.

She stared at it. It was a necklace, with a silver heart charm attached to it. But that was not all- on top of the heart necklace there was a small note. With shaking hands, Jasmine picked up the note and read it. It read; "Jasmine, will you be my girlfriend?"

Jasmine turned to look at Anthony with wide eyes, who was smiling awkwardly. "Uh...surprise?" He laughed.

"Anthony..." She murmured, cradling the note and the box with the necklace in it. "I...had no idea that you felt this way..."

"Well, I do." Anthony said, closing his eyes. "And I would understand if you don't want to be my girlfriend. I am super annoying, and I'm not as good looking as Daveed or Lin, and I'm not that smart- Hell, I can't even-"

Anthony was cut off by Jasmine kissing him softly. Anthony almost fell backwards, but Jasmine quickly supported him by wrapping her arms around him.

He paused, then kissed her back and locked his arms around her too. Jasmine kissed him for a good minute or two, then pulled back, gasping for air.

"Annie...I do want to be your girlfriend. Badly."

"P-Promise?"

"Yes, I promise." She said softly, tapping his nose. "And Anthony...you aren't annoying in the slightest...you always brighten my day...and you are as good looking as Daveed or Lin- in fact, you're better looking than both of them combined...and you are smart, okay?"

"...okay." He managed a small smile. Jasmine finally tore her eyes away from Anthony and looked at the necklace. "Also...the necklace is beautiful...I love it...would you mind putting it on me?"

"Sure thing." Anthony grinned. He carefully picked it up. "Turn around, please..."

"Okie-dokie." Jasmine did so. Anthony brought the necklace in front of her and clipped it on, moving her hair out the way.

"There we go," Anthony smiled.

Jasmine turned to face him and smiled too. "Thank you...baby."

"You're welcome Jasmine...I...I..." He paused, wondering whether to be so upfront. But then Anthony remembered this was Jasmine he was talking to, and he could tell her anything- especially now that they were officially dating.

"You what?"

"I...I love you."

Jasmine blushed, but then said "I love you too." And kissed him again, gently but lovingly- just the way they both liked it.
