A Hamilton Christmas Story; LAMS! (Modern Version)

Chapter 10

"Laf! We're so happy for you!" John and Alexander huddled Lafayette into a group hug, his smile still going strong. They pulled apart, Hercules soon coming up behind his Fiancé and wrapping his arms around his waist. Lafayette giggled, holding the back of his hands.
"I better not hear something when I'm sleeping." John teasingly acknowledged them. They just looked at him, chuckling softly.
Alexander shuffled away from them after a few conversations, he'd fall onto his bed purposely. 
A few hours ago, John had helped him set up his phone. Four messages.


(Some random number) Hello?
(SRN) Yo?? Answer me.
(SRN) It's me, Jefferson.
(SRN) Come On. Meet me at the Adult lounge, I'm bored. 

New Message from, (SRN)
(SRN) I don't mean, like, that- I mean, like, I have something to show you.
Al: I'm busy.

Alexander turned off his phone, rolling his eyes. 'How annoying can one man be?' 

New Message from, ThomasTheTrain.
ThomasTheTrain: No you're not.
Al: How do you know I'm not doing something right now? 
ThomasTheTrain: You seem like the lazy type to me.
Al: Offense taken, and, I'm the opposite of what you think I am.
ThomasTheTrain: That's why I like you. 
Al: Since when did you partake interest in me?
ThomasTheTrain: Since we met, you're interesting.

Alexander felt a small blush flush against his cheeks, before he was interrupted by his thoughts, and a slightly angry John.
'Ew, I'm not liking that piece of sh-' 
"Yo, who's ThomasTheTrain?" John was leaning over on the other side of the bed, making the mattress seem like it was gonna throw Alexander down a hill. 
Three Messages from, ThomasTheTrain. 
John narrowed his eyes at the phone Alexander had in his hands, quickly snatching it from him.
"Hey!" Alex yelled, trying to get it back. John slipped off the bed and rushed into the bathroom, closing and locking the door behind him. It was right on time too, as Alexander almost basically face-planted into the door.
"Bro, Alex. Don't go with this, this, guy." His voice piled out, after a couple of minutes.
"I can do what I want, John. Why do you care anyway?" everyone stared at him as he yelled and pounded on the door.
"I.." Alexander heard the voice of John, but it soon trailed off at the end of his last word.
"I don't know..." his voice was quiet, almost as quiet as a mouse. He'd open the door, his face expressing a confused, but sad look. His hand flipped in front of Alexander, it held his phone.
Instead of taking it, Alexander stopped John from walking away, remembering the weird jealousy he's been having.
"Come with me." 
John stopped, surprised to hear the words that formed in his ears.

"Really?" he'd say, the surprised tone hinting a joyful peep. 
"Yeah." Alex smiled at him warmly, his eyes catching a hint of blush coming from the other boy's face.

***

"So, how do you think your first kiss would go like?" John and Alexander walked through the arches of the boat, their eyes searching for a lurking Thomas.
"First kiss?" Alex glanced at him, kind of offended.
"I know you haven't had your first kiss yet. Eliza told me." he'd chuckle softly before checking if his hair was in a nice low pony tail like Alexander's. 
Alexander felt a flush of embarrassment reach him. "Erm.."
"Don't worry, I won't judge." John looked at him, his freckles almost glimmering. 
"I guess," he'd think for a moment. 
"Don't think too hard." John laughed quietly.
"Well, I want it to be special, with the person I love. In a nice beautiful scenery, I'm not sure where. But," he'd sigh, regretting he was gonna say it. "somewhere romantic."
John nodded. 
"Yeah, me too." 
"Huh? You haven't had your first kiss yet?" Alex stared at him in disbelief. Following the sign that had an arrow pointing around the corner, saying; "Adult Lounge, (NO KIDS!)" 
"Nope, I almost did, but I lost my cool and they rejected me after they found out who I was." 
Alexander gave John a; 'What do you mean?' look. John noticed, his shoulders falling as he sighed, a forced smile on his face.
"Someone you don't know. Martha-" 

"You're ex?"
"Yeah, anyway, she wanted to take our relationship to the next level. So, we were about to kiss, when..." he'd scrunch his nose. "I don't even know how this happened, but she just pulled away quickly, saying that I didn't deserve her. I guessed I just lot my grit." They rounded another corner, a sign next to the doorframe saying the same thing as the others.
"She's stupid." Alex felt the need to say, which made John look up at him and smile. 
"What's he, doing here?" Thomas's voice hissed, as he leaned against the doorframe.
They both halted to a stop, staring at him like they didn't know what to say.
Alexander blinked, before talking first.
"He's just with me, why?" 
"Are you guy's a thing?" Jefferson asked, eyeing John in a totally not creepy way.
"O-Oh." the stutter came out surprisingly, John cupped his hand over his mouth. Blush blending in his cheeks.
"No." Alexander chuckled nervously. Thomas rolled his eyes before taking Alex by the arm, and leading him inside. John followed closely, his hand still covering his mouth.

(I'ma do POVs now cause I feel like it lol, probably will change it again. So don't get mad at meh :3)

John's POV.

It was only just the beginning of this terrible nightmare, Thomas kept flirting with Alexander. It was hella annoying, and Alex? He just let it happen, like maybe he had feelings for the guy.
Whatever, it wasn't like I liked him anyway. Maybe? I have no clue. We walked down this weird hallway, that was in the back of the lounge.
Thomas made Alex stop a couple of feet ahead, covering his eyes with his own hands. It made me, kind of angry. Why? I have no idea why I keep feeling like this. I've known the guy for only a week, two weeks? I don't know. 
Alexander is like a brother to me, so I guess that's why I feel kind of protective? It's weird. I got so attached to him. I'd blink, snapping out of my thoughts to see what was about to happen.
Thomas made Alex shield his eyes, as he removed his hands from them, taking out a set of keys.
Alexander nodded, his hands now blinding his sight. Thomas fumbled with a few keys before sticking one in the lock of a door, turning it around so that it unlocked.
He'd guide Alex in, hesitantly gesturing for me to follow.
Sunlight had poured through the hallway, hurrying them out of the hall before locking it behind him. 
"You can see for yourself now, Alex." Thomas replied to the empty silence. 

It was the front of the cruise ship, only one table sat to the left side. A white fence secured them, as in between was the deck and water. 
Off to the far right, there was a wall protecting the private table. So no one could see, or even hear what was happening. John was dazed, it was quite beautiful to have a place all by yourself. With no one else in the world. 
"Woah! This is great Jefferson!" Alex twirled around, his pupils growing every time he saw something new. Thomas Jefferson chuckled like he already knew. He'd start making his way over to the table. That had white cloth covering the top, three sperate candles in the middle, and two chairs. 
Thomas gestured for Alex to sit down next to him, Alexander's face flashed towards John, a confused look on it before he carefully sat. I stood awkwardly off to the side, awaiting. 
"Oh, John. Just uh," Thomas searched the deck, his eyes falling on a chair.
"Just bring that over here."
