Look Around: A Hamilton College AU

Maria

"Eliza, truth or dare?" Hamilton asks. Dang it, why'd he have to pick her? I had a great one for Eliza. 

It takes her a while to consider. "Truth," she finally answers. 

"Do you have a crush on someone?" He asks her. Eliza and I blush and I quickly turn away to hide the fact that I did. 

"Yes." Eliza states simply as I turn back around. I see Peggy staring at me skeptically.  

Oh no. Did she see me blush? 

"Who is it?" Hamilton asks Eliza. 

"I don't have to anwser that," Eliza says, smirking. She's so cute. 

"Dammit!" I hear Alex yell.   

"Next time take my advice and think before you act," Aaron says, smirking at Hamilton. Theo laughs before Peggy, still looking at me, whispers something in her ear. They look at each other and smile deviously. I have a bad feeling about this... 

"Theo, truth or dare?" Eliza asks. 

"Dare me, sucker," Theo answers in a really weird voice before everyone bursts out laughing. 

"Ok I was going to have you do something else but instead I dare you to never say that phrase again," Eliza tells her in between laughter. At this point even Theo is laughing. 

"OK, fine," she responds, calming down a bit. "Maria, truth or dare?" She asks me too suspiciously. I start to freak out a bit. 

Dude, lay the options calmly and be still, I think to myself. She and Peggy were acting suspicious earlier. They probably have some really bad dare they want me to do. But if I choose truth, what if I have to reveal my feelings to Eliza? Peggy did see me blush. I glance at Eliza and see her looking back at me with a kind smile. You know what? If that's the case, I'm fine with it. I don't want to take my chances with a dare. 

"Truth," I answer with confidence. 

Theo looks at Peggy and smiles. "Do you want to date Eliza?"

Eliza and I blush so furiously, our heads should have exploded right then. Everyone else is in shock from the question. I'm freaking out. I have to say yes... 

"Yes. Yes I do," I say, standing up and walking over to Eliza. "Elizabeth Schuyler, will you go out with me?"

"Yes!" Eliza squeaks back. Theo and Peggy squeal while everyone else is still in shock. 

"Excuse me. WHAT?" Angie screams as Eliza and I kiss. "I DO NOT APPROVE OF THIS!"

"Awww, c'mon Ange! It's clear that they love each other! Eliza even admitted it a little bit ago!" Peggy complains. 

"She just said she had a crush, not that it was Maria!" Angie protests. 

"It's clearly Maria," Theo points out. Eliza blushes and I just stare into her eyes. She has such beautiful black eyes. 

"Yeah. I'm helpless," Eliza says, or rather, sings. 

"Look into your eyes and the sky's the limit," I sing back, quoting Phillipa from the musical Miranda. 

Angie sighs. "At least it's someone I can trust," she says, looking at me. I smile back. 

"Thank you, Angie," both Eliza and I say at the same time. We laugh together and I kiss her again. 

"Félicitations, mon amies! Elles une ensemble très mignon," Laf tells us. Thomas, Alex, and John nod and smile as he says this. 

"Translation?" I ask. Eliza nods as well. 

"Congratulations, my freinds! You are so cute together," John tells us. I smile. 

"Désolé. Sometimes I forget not all of you speak French," Laf says. 

"That's fine! Anyway, should we continue?" Eliza says, sitting down. I sit down next to her instead of returning to my original spot next to Angie and Herc. 

"But I just want to be with you," I complain. 

"You two, go get a room," Peggy says, winking. On that note, Eliza and I leave. We walk into Eliza's room and sit on her bed. 

"Want to watch Alice and Wonderland and cuddle?" I ask. 

She smiles. "Sounds great!"

We end up watching 4 movies and eating all the snacks Eliza had in her room. Hearing some weird stuff coming from downstairs, I curl up closer to her as we drift off to sleep. 

"Goodnight, sweetheart," she tells me. 

"Goodnight, love," I say as I kiss her on the cheek.

Look around, look around, at how lucky we are to be alive right now....
