First, an a/n then the story A/n This is sorta fluff. Cuz umm..... ben and adam were hella close friends :)))))) ok lesss goooo. Well the fluff doesn't actually happen till later but this is a build up. (btw it's more of a like... bromance kinda.)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Benjamin's p.o.v the day adam arrived in camp (Bet yall weren't expecting this ;) )
I woke up to loud trumpets outside my tent. "Uuuuuggghhhhh" I groaned. The sunlight was trying to pour in but was covered by the rough fabric of the white tent, Only heating up the inside. I sat up on the bed, getting used to the light from outside. Today we were getting some new recruits, approved by Washington and only Washington of course. He wouldn't let the rest of the generals make a decision, Only read the letters and give him our opinion just for him to ignore. My thoughts were inturupeted by somone pushing up the flap on my tent. "Benny! Get on your uniform!!" He wailed He heard somone call for him and ran off before I could even look at him to see who it was. I was to tired to care. The night before I had been worrying about the events that would take place today. abe was in setaucket with his family. Brewster was... hell, I never know where Brewster is. And ana (ana strong, a real spy in the ring) Was at her tavern. Her tavern wasn't as... for lack of a better word, popular, as the one in the middle of town. Maybe because of her husband, who knows really. I walked up to the large bowl placed on the a tall stand. I took the water from inside of it and threw it on my face to try and wake myself up. I repe it a couple times before looking up to the little, blurry and warped mirror. The weather conditions had distorted it awhile back. I stared at my reflection for a while, lost in thought. I heard someone yell and snapped back to what I was doing. Turns out, he was just laughing. I slipped on my clothes and pulled on my over coat. (It looks like this)

I slicked my hair back and pulled it into a ponytail with a ribbon and finally walked out. Somone ran up to me holding a hand out signaling me to stop. "Sir, Washington... would like to speak with you.." He squeaked, very out of breath. I nodded and walked out to Washingtons tent. "Tallmadge, meet our latest recruits-" My thoughts tuned out the rest of what he said. I thought we weren't going to meet them until later? Washington noticed that I wasn't paying attention to him, he cleared his throat. "As I was saying. This is adam Thomas, alex hudgins, gorge Jamieson and Hal cousner. Gentlemen, this is major Benjamin tallmadge." I shook each person's hand. For some reason I felt like I was forgetting something. We where supposed to be somewhere today. PENNSYLVANIA!!! "Sir, aren't we supposed to be in Pennsylvania with miss Margaret shippin.." I watch Washingtons face fall in realization. "The carriage is gonna be here soon. Let's take one of the new recruits." He grinned at me but he still looked scared. Washington literally never smiled so this was kind of shocking to me. He looked around the room. 2 of the men where talking as the other one watched them with a smug look on his face. Washington Immediately pointed to the stray man. "Ah yes, adam. We need to take you to Pennsylvania. Gentlemen." He called his attention to the other 2 men. "Get yourself acquainted with the camp. We will be back early morning." They saluted and walked out of the tent. We waited a couple minutes, Washington was talking with Adam about camp. He seemed to be a charming man. But then I realized, I know that name. It was very... nostalgic... Then I remembered "Say, adam, weren't we friends awhile ago.?" He looked at me in confusion then took a moment to think. Realization washed over his face and he smiled at me. I smiled back, he never grew out of that smile. A smile that could light up a room. A smile that can make Washington giggle. I smiled back trying to mimic him, I failed. He stood up and held his arms out for a hug. I stood up and he run up to me and just.... sorta ..... snatched? Me into his arms and squeezed me. it was very awkward for Washington. "Hey.. uh.. adam... my arms hurt..." Adam looked at me and frowned, that frown made me feel really bad even though I knew it was fake. He pulled off of me a smiled again. For some reason, I felt relief. He spoke first. "I haven't seen you in so long!! We were best friends!!" He jokingly scolded me. I couldn't help but laugh at him. Washington stepped in. "YOU WERE?" he whisper yelled jokingly. Adam smirked at the sight of Washington. "Not so professional Washington? It suits you." I WAS RIGHT. ADAM HASN'T BEEN HERE FOR EVEN 15 MINUTES AND HE CRACKED WASHINGTON!! Washington rolled his eyes and sat down. Me and adam had a fake , shocked look on our face. Washington chuckled. Before he could say anything, we all heard someone crack the reins of a carriage to signal us to come out and get in. We all exchange looks and Washington clears his throat. He flipped up the tent flap and gestured for us to leave. "Gentlemen." He stuck his had out to let is through. Ugh, this is gonna be a long ride.
