Us Monsters (Wip)

Chapter 26• stay longer in the memories

"Wake up sleepy head." John whispered, peppering kisses all over Alexander's face. The man giggled, squriming as he woke up. John pulled back with a content smile, his eyes trailing all over his gorgeous boyfriend.

"I love you." Alexander said quietly, eyes shinning as he looked up at the man. 

"I love you more Lex." John responded, making his partner's heart beat just a little bit faster than before. The carribean sat up just enough to lock lips with the man he so loved. When he pulled away, John was grinning ear to ear.

"You taste like morning breath." He joked. Alexander playfully shoved his boyfriend, who was chuckling in an adorable way.

"Shut up." He responded, though he was smiling like a fool. 

"Never, Mr. Hamilton." John replied playfully.

The two eventually made their way downstairs, walking into the cafeteria and finding Lafayette soon enough.

"Hey Laff." Alexander greeted.

"Bonjour Alex." He responeded, smiling more than usual.

"Why you smiling so much, laff?" John asked suspiciously, grinning at the man.

"What- non, im not-"

"Its obvious, laff." Alexander interupted, to which his brother rolled his eyes.

"Whats their name?" John asked, leaning closer.

"Whos? I dont know anyone new.." Lafayette said, turning red.

"Suuuure." John and Alexander said at practically the same time.

"Fine. I met someone." Lafayette sighed, the two boyfriends high fiving.

"Knew it." Alexander said.

"Whatever they like?" John asks.

"Hes nice. And sweet. And funny, when he wants to be." Lafayette said, practically swooning just at the thought.

"Aww! Laffy's in love!" John said, before being swatted by the man.

"Shhh! And im not!" Lafayette said, laughing.

"Liiiiiees." Alexander taunted, making both men laugh.

"What shelf does this one go to: thriller or horror?" John whispered to his boyfriend, holding up a book.

"Here." Alexander said, taking the book and walking to its place, setting it between two others. Before he could turn, John came from behind him and kissed the back of his neck.

"So smart." He whispered, his breath tickling the mans skin.

Alexander blushed, leaning against the man and savoring the warm feeling of his lover's arms wrapped around him.

"I love you, Jackie." He whispered, a smile creeping on his face.

"I love you more, Lexy." John responded, holding the man close.

"Aight get back to work, dummies." Their friend said, swatting them with a book.

"Fine." John said, rolling his eyes as he got the cart and pushed it towards his boyfriend, the wheels making pills everytime it caught on the carpet.

Alexander pecked his boyfriend's freckled cheek, helping him put all the books back in their respectful places.

"So what happened then?" Alexander asked, looking up at his boyfriend with eager eyes as they walked to Lafayette's cell.

"Well if I remembered the movie correctly-" John started, before he was cut off by the image he saw in his friends cell.

Ever since this morning the couple had been trying to figure out who the mysterious love interest was, and up until now they had no clue.

That was, until they saw Thomas whisper something in Lafayette's ear that made the frenchman swat his arm.

"Shush, gutter mouth." He said, before noticing his two friends in the doorway.

"Laff..." Alexander began, smiling.

"What?" He asked, looking around confused.

"Is this the guy you were gushing about?" John asked.

"I better've been, babe." Thomas said, a smirk on his face. He knew he wasn't, but hed be damned if hed pass up an oppurtunity like this.

"Oh, shut it. Non, Thomas isn't." Lafayette said.

"Youre cheating on me? You told me you loved me!" Thomas said dramatically, faking a gasp.

"W h a t  i s  h a p p e n i n g?" Alexander asked, looking between the two men. Lafayette glared at Thomas, until the virginian finally broke charecter.

"Aight aight. Fine." He said, raising his hands defensively. "We aint dating. Im dating a lovely man named James, and Laff has a mysterious macho man on his heart." Thomas explained.

"Thank you." Lafayette said, rolling his eyes.

"What was all the whispering and thd flirting about then?" John asked, still unsure if they were telling the truth.

"Im just a flirtatious guy. And Lafayette has agreed to deal with all my flirting so James wont get mad." Thomas said. Although the two boyfriends only half understood any of that, they silently agreed to settle on that.

"So who is it then?" Alex asked, crossing his arms.

"Ive been trying to get that out of him all day." Thomas said, sitting back on his bed.

"Over my dead body." The frenchman said, crossing his arms.

"I will get that name." Alexander said in a very matter-of-fact way.

"In your dreams!" Lafayette says, reaching up for his pillow and chucking it in the mans face.

"Hell no!!" Alexander cried, laughing as he chucked it back at his brother, who grabbed Thomas'.

"Dont drag my shit into this!!" Thomas said, laughing as he tugged on the pillow finally grabbing it and hitting the frenchman, who was busy hitting Alexander with the first pillow.

"Ill defend you, lex!" John said, pulling the pillow from Thomas' hands and throwing it into Lafayettes shoulder, grinning like a fool.

This continued until everyone's surrender, which could barely be heard over the sound of laughter.

And for a moment, a beautiful but painfully short moment, all four men forgot where they were, and wanted to stay in the moment just a little longer.
