Jamilton, a game

Chapter 14: Herc and siblings settle in.

Laf's POV

"Welcome Hercules and his siblings! I have prepared your rooms for you and hope you'll like them to the description I was given. I will have a maid show you around, but first, let me show you the rooms. After the maid shows you all around you will have a couple hours until it is time for dinner." Everyone nods to me and I show them to their rooms. They all loved them and I think Hercules was a little flattered at the fact that I put him in the room next to mine. They all settle in and then are shown around the house. While his siblings are being shown around the house, Herc asks to take a shower and I show him where everything in the bathroom is. I find that we are short on towels in that room but I guess he didn't notice.

I walk out to get more towels and when I return his shirt is off, but there are bruises all over him. I drop the towels in shock and he turns around in shock.

"Hercules mon ami what happened?!" I almost yell and he looks almost scared. But softens a little.

"...This is why my parents are divorcing... I'm the only one he's done it too, but he would abuse me if I made him angry... Mom wanted to divorce him before he started on her or the other siblings. She realized recently." Herc answers.

"Hercules I'm... I'm so sorry..." I hug him and he flinches a little, but then leans into the hug and hugs back.

"It... It'll be okay Laf..."

"I'll leave you to take your shower then. But please trust me enough to tell me things if people are hurting you."

He stares at me for a moment. Then. "I will."

"Thank you Hercules." I walk out of the room and then hear the shower turn on. It gets hot fairly quickly and I turn around to tell him-

"GAH THAT'S HOT" Herc yells.

I quietly laugh to myself and walk away from the door.

Herc's POV

I normally wouldn't have screamed so loud but the water directly hit a few of my bruises and cuts. Dang water.

~ Time Skip ~

It hurt a little, but the shower was nice. Then we were all served with the finest dinner that was ever served to us. It was incredible. I didn't eat much though. I didn't feel very hungry, I have never eaten well the next few days after my father has beaten me. But no more, no more painful nights. Lafayette must've noticed because he looked at me a few times with sympathetic eyes.

I now sit in my room, thinking about life in general. I hear a knock on the door.

"Come in" I say sitting up.

Laf opens the door and walks in sitting on the bed next to me. "Hello. Forgive me, I meant to tell you about the showers but forgot, then heard your little yelp hmhm. I also meant to come earlier, but your siblings wanted to thank me for the dinner and letting you all stay here."

"It's totally okay. Hey, I have a question for ya."

~ forgive me all, I literally just found out that Hercules only had one sibling XD XD XD XD XD in this story can we just pretend he had a few more? XD I personally imagined a younger brother and 2 younger sisters.   ...    yeah I was way off XD XD XD WHO CARES THIS IS FANFICTION XD ~

"Go for it" Laf says.

"Um... would you be able to tell me as to why you put me in the room next to yours?"

"Well, part of the reason is in case you need something. Then. I also may have wanted to be close to you.. Of course I know you better but I feel like I have a special bond with you that I don't have with anyone else." Laf looks away from me.

"I can understand that. I feel the same way." 

Laf looks back at me with hope in his eyes and has a small smile.

~Okay I swear that it'll be Jamilton soon, there will be a time skip and you'll get the Jamilton XD XD XD.~

"Well I better get to bed." Laf says and he gets up.

"Goodnight Laf"

"Goodnight Herc."

He gives me a small wave and leaves. It then starts to rain.

-- Time skip --

Jefferson's POV

I walk into my house, the maid standing there ready to take my coat and she does. "Sir where were you out in the rain so long?" She asks.

"You know where I was. All of you do now." I reply, a little upset even though I try to hide it. Though I'm not very good.

"Mr. Jefferson. I don't know if it's the best for you to go see them all the time. It is hard especially for a boy your age to go visiting dead relatives 2 or more times a week."

"How dare you call them relatives."

"What?" She asks in confusion.

"They are my siblings and parents!!! A great illness fell over them and I'm the only one alive!!! So how dare you call them nothing more than relatives!!!! They are my family!!!!!" I feel my lip quiver a little and tears start to breach my eyes. She puts her head down slightly.

"Forgive me sir. I should've watched my words."

"I know." I say almost bitterly and I walk up to my room. I almost slam the door which I've never done before, but I'm not the happiest at the moment. I'm depressed and it hurts. A few minutes after I shut the door the maid that I like walks in. She gives me a kind smile. 

"Sir. I know you went to see them again, I heard you yelling. Are you alright? Would you like anything?"

I look at her for a moment. Then decide to answer. "Can... Can I have a hug?..." I look at her with almost childish eyes and she smiles a little and walks over then hugs me. 

"Of course Mr. Jefferson."

I hug her back firmly with tears in my eyes. We lay down together and she holds me until I fall asleep.

----- OH. Let me know if you want to see anything more before the major time skip. It's within the next two chapters and I just want to know if you think anything should happen before then -----
