Jasmine's POV

It always seemed when things couldn't seem to get any more interesting... they did. Thanks to Lin's genius - no sarcasm implied - thinking, we turned Hamilton's opening number into something for none other than Sweeney Todd. Weird, but cool none-the-less.

There was only one thing that was... not my cup of tea. Kissing Daveed.

Now, I knew it was barely even two seconds, but it was still someone who wasn't Anthony. Sure, I did way more... risque things with Lin, but Lin had a wife. We knew he loved Vanessa.

'It's only a few seconds. It's not that bad, right?'

Taking a photo before the show (pic above), I was acutely aware of Daveed's arm around me for some reason. 'Now I'm just overthinking..'

We were about to go on in a few minutes. I was standing backstage with Anthony, a short distance from everyone else. It didn't take much for me to know he was off, but I didn't think anyone else would notice. He was good like that. But I knew my Anthony.

"Baby?" I asked after a moment.

"Yeah?"

"Are you alright?"

Anthony nodded. "Of course, baby girl. Why wouldn't I be?"

"I just.. didn't really know how you felt about the whole thing with.. yeah."

He sent me a smile. "Don't worry, Jas. I'm fine."

I narrowly missed the faint waver in his voice at 'fine', but couldn't press any further as we instructed to get ready to go to our first cues.

"But the work... waits..."

Lin was pushed towards the back of the stage as Renée walked towards the center, the crowd cheering at her appearance.

"Judge Turpin ordered him to split, full of it, lust-ridden. Some years later, see Turpin and his ward just sittin'..."

I moved quickly across the stage, only to be stopped by Daveed... or rather.. 'Turpin'. He grabbed my arm and pulled me closer to the front as I looked out into the crowd with an anxious expression.

"...flushed, spittin' as he locked her up quick, his hair slick."

Daveed used his hand not holding his mic to tilt my face towards him, gently pressing his lips on mine.

"Johanna's not his daughter but--"

We pulled away to speak with the rest of the company. "--c'mon, that sh*t is sick."

Anthony's POV

"C'mon that sh*t is sick."

It wasn't hard for me to pick out my own voice, hiding a wince. I tried to ignore the weird feeling inside as we continued on from that part.

'Daveed kissed your girl right in the front of the stage. Right in front of you. Right in front of everyone.'

Sure, it was staged, and Jasmine did some... things.. with Lin every Act Two... but something didn't feel right at all. Lin was happily married, Daveed was single and close friends with Jas. Was I overthinking?

'Damnit, Anthony. You're in the middle of a performance. Focus..'

Upon finishing the song and heading out of the wings, it wasn't long after until I felt a pair of arms around my waist from behind me. I didn't even have to move to know it was my Jas.

I turned so I could wrap my own arms around her back, holding her snugly. Jas lifted her head slightly so she could nuzzle her face against my neck. I tilted my head down, our cheeks barely touching. Neither of us had to say anything.

"You did good," I heard her voice mumble.

"You did good too, baby girl. As usual."

Jas pulled her head back after a minute, looking up at me. I didn't have time to say anything else to her before she stood on her tiptoes, pressing her lips on mine sweetly.

My arms moved down to her waist, holding her closer to me. I felt her hand on my cheek after a moment, deepening our kiss.

We pulled away a long moment later, foreheads touching.

"I heard you almost over everyone else," she teased quietly. "Is someone jealous?"

My cheeks flared up in embarrassment. "N-No!"

Jas giggled, her nose nuzzling against mine playfully. "It's okay, baby. It's only you."

"I'd hope so," I mumbled.

Jas gently held my face in both her hands. "Don't worry, Ant, okay? You're my beloved."

I smiled, holding her tighter. "You're so perfect, Jas. I'm gonna marry you one day - count on it."

"I'd love that," she responded, giggling.

"Then that's what we'll do, baby girl. That's what we'll do."
