Why Have I Done This??? (Lams Oneshots)

Perfect Little Lawyer

A/N - procrastination is a bitch

Alexander's POV

"You're coming!" Laf insisted, I huffed and shifted.
"I really don't want to." I mumbled.
"You promised!" Laf begged, I sighed and got up.
"Fine. One second." I got dressed and put on a little bit of makeup before heading out to Laf's car.

"Aye! Laf!" John grinned, I shifted and kept my head down. "You brought him?"
"Yes. Deal with it." John rolled his eyes and let us in. Music was playing loudly and people were mingling and drinking.
"Laf, I can't drink."
"Don't take anything from anyone other than me. Hold on." Laf disappeared and I shrunk into a corner. Laf came back with a red cup and I frowned.
"What is it?"
"Capri Sun." I giggled and took a sip. Laf smiled and leaned against the wall.
"You can go do stuff."
"You're coming with me." I huffed and let him drag me into the crowd. Laf mingled and I just watched him and drank my Capri Sun. John and Laf started talking and I zoned out. The party moved outside and into the pool. I sighed and found a nice chair in the shade. Laf tried to get me to go into the pool and told him no. I can't swim and I really just wanna hang out and keep to myself. I closed my eyes and leaned back, relaxing. My arm was grabbed and I gasped as I was yanked out of my seat. Thomas Jefferson picked me up as people chanted and cheered. I screamed and tried to break free but it was no use. He threw my into the deep end and I thrashed desperately trying to stay up. I felt water going down my throat and I was taken back to the hurricane. I sunk to the bottom and I felt arms wrap around me.

John's POV

I heard chanting and someone screaming and I looked up from talking to Martha. I saw Thomas throw Alex into the pool and gasped. Martha laughed and I threw my shirt off, running for the pool. I dove in as he sunk to the bottom and pulled him into my arms. I broke the surface and Laf helped me get Alex out of the pool. I climbed out and checked his breathing. "Alex?" I called, no answer. I started CPR and Laf looked like he might drown himself. When it was time to give Alex breaths I bit my lip and tilted his head back, giving two breaths. Alex spit up water into my mouth and coughed. I didn't even care, I spit the water out and helped Alex sit up. He clung to my neck with his eyes still closed and I picked him up. "What the fuck is wrong with you, Thomas?"
"I was just trying to-"
"There's a fucking reason he wasn't in the pool in the first place! He's not even wearing swim clothes!" I picked Alex up and he coughed again. "Go home, Thomas." I carried Alex inside and into the bathroom. He immediately puked into the toilet and I held his hair back.
"I'm sorry." He sobbed.
"It's fine. Are you ok?"
"I ruined your party and Thomas-"
"Are you ok?" I asked sternly, Alex stopped rambling and looked up at me.
"I think so." He whispered, he puked again and I rubbed his back. "Maybe not." Laf appeared and Alex looked up.
"Alex, are you ok? Dad's gonna kill me."
"I'm ok."
"I'll get you some dry clothes." I got up and headed up to my room. I jogged to my room and the only thing that would fit were an old pair of swim trunks I had. I grabbed a t-shirt and headed back downstairs. "This is all I got."
"Thank you." I nodded and Laf and I left him alone to change.
"You think he'll be ok?" Laf asked.
"Yeah." I shrugged. "He's Alex. He'll be fine."
"College isn't fun." We both looked at Alex and I blushed a bit. "Laf said it's fun and it's not fun. I wanna go home." Laf sighed and I covered my face a bit. He looked amazing in my shirt. What is going on?
"Come on, Alex." Laf negotiated with him and finally came to the conclusion that he'd sit on the side. By now some people had filtered out and it was quieter. Martha skipped up to me and put her hands on my chest.
"That was so heroic how you saved that pig. Do you wanna maybe-"
"He's not a pig. His name is Alex. Get the fuck off me." She huffed and stormed away. I turned and found Alex standing there. "Oh-um-"
"She likes you. Why didn't you-" I shrugged and Alex shifted a bit.
"I'm gay." Alex nodded and I smiled.
"Go sit in your chair."
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure." I shrugged, Alex shifted and bit his lip.
"Why did you save me? You hate me. You have since high school."
"That doesn't mean I'd let you die."
"O-oh."
"Are you sure you're ok?"
"No." He sighed, rubbing his arms. "I'm gonna got sit-" He trotted off and I sighed, wading into the pool. I swam over to Laf and Herc and smiled.
"So...I saw you talking to Alex." Laf teased.
"Yeah." I frowned. "I was asking If he was ok."
"We saw the way you were looking at him." Herc grinned, I frowned and Laf laughed a bit.
"I wasn't looking at him like anything."
"You're such a lair." Herc nudged me and I blushed a bit.
"Fuck off."
"You technically kissed him."
"He barfed in my mouth." I splashed Laf and he chuckled. "I'm just saying." Alex threw a foam ball at us from the side of the pool and we looked over at him.
"Do you have any water?"
"Yeah. One sec." I swam over and climbed out. Alex blushed and kept his eyes on my face. He followed me to the outside bar and I pulled a water bottle out of the mini fridge.
"Thanks." He smiled, I nodded and noticed everyone else was gone. The sun was setting and I grinned.
"Hey, y'all!" I called, Laf and Herc looked up. "Everyone else dipped. How about we get in the hot tub?" I grinned, Laf and Herc grinned and got out of the pool. I turned on the hot tub and got those to two beers and Alex a few Capri Suns. We got in as night fell and I turned on the lights. Alex stayed away and I frowned. "Come on in, Alex." I hummed.
"No, that's ok. I-"
"Come on. There's a bench. You can sit." Alex sighed and shifted.
"There's no room."
"There's plenty of room. Let's go." He huffed and I scooted over to make a little more room.
"I don't wanna ruin your shirt."
"Then take it off." I shrugged, Alex groaned and glared at Laf.
"I can't."
"Why not?"
"Um-...I have some-" He looked at Laf for help and he sighed.
"Alex has scars. Pretty bad ones. He's a little self-conscious about it."
"I have scars too." I lifted myself up and showed him my back. His eyes widened and moved to stand next to the hot tub. "Come on. There's no more excuses."
"Fine." He pulled my shirt off and I held out my hand to help him. He took it and plopped down in the water. I smiled and handed him a Capri Sun. He grinned and sip the straw he stabbed in the pouch. I leaned back and rested my arms on the back of the hot tub. We chatted and Laf and Herc cuddled. I sighed and shrunk down so I was almost all the way in the water. Alex frowned at me and I sat up. Laf and Herc were cuddling and kissing and making me wish I had a boyfriend. Alex kept his arms over his chest and I sighed. After awhile of talking and pizza Laf and Alex went home. Herc left shortly after Alex and Laf and I was left to clean up the mess alone.
