A Hamilton Christmas Story; LAMS! (Modern Version)

Chapter 18

"Are you serious?" Alexander growled, his feet dangling from the bar stool. Lafayette jumped, Hercules protectively wrapping his arms around his Fiancé. Alexander puffed, shaking his head.
"Why would you guys' even provoke this?" he asked, trying to calm himself after breathing in and out.
"Alexander." Lafayette gently pushed away Hercules's arms, nodding towards him thoughtfully. "John cares about you so much. More than you even think. He wants you." It was safe to say. They were sitting on the bar stools, they haven't drank anything yet. It was the same as the one they went to. Alexander gazed at his friend with an unsure face.
"He denied it at first, but, he just can't deal with James, x Alexander." Lafayette continued, a frown on his face. Hercules entered a small chuckle at the words.
"I.." his eyes surveyed the room, like he was thinking about something. "Then how come he agreed with Eliza about our relationship being to early?" he spoke after. 
"What?" Hercules blinked, having no memory of what Alexander just spoke of.
"She's continuing to say that?" Lafayette placed his head in the palm of his hand, disappointed. 
"She doesn't mean it." Hercules defended, his hand making a gesture. 
"Well, what about James?" Alexander asked, his face saddening.
"Do you love him?"
"Of course, I do.." he responded with a bit of hesitation.
"Alexander. We know you don't." Hercules gave a sympathetic face.
"Its kind of obvious." Lafayette chuckled slightly.
"Okay. Maybe I don't. But, he's crazy about me." his head fell on the bar, sighing in defeat.
"No. He's not." Lafayette and Hercules laughed. Alexander sharply brought his head back up, an unsure look on his face.
"He doesn't?" he smiled a bit.
"He's more crazy about Eliza." Hercules explained. "He told me directly. He said he was too scared to break up with you."
