All's Fair in Love and War. ( Hamilton Collage Au ~ Hamburr )

Unlock the Door

Alexander's POV

I stop at my dorms door and reach for the handle. Hm, it's locked. I figure hey, I can just unlock it and-

Oh. Are you kidding me..? I don't have my key! Hey, it's fine, don't panic. Burr is probably inside! Not to be rude to him, but I don't take him to be the type of person to leave the house alot.

...okay, that did sound a little rude. But nonetheless, I knock on the door gingerly. No response. I knock again, still no response.

I knock one more time, speaking
"Uhh... Burr? It's me, Alexander... Hamilton?" I call, then wait. One minute, two three.... I hear shuffling on the inside. Four five...

Silent. Again. I sigh, shifting the weight off my left leg to my right.

Seven-

The door opens to a... very, dishevelled Burr. I freeze. "Are you c-coming in or not? I'm not standing h-here all day.." he hisses, in the least threatening way ever. I walk inside diligently, walking under the distraught man's arm.

"What's.. wrong?" I ask gently. He mumbles something under his breath. "Hm?" I ask. "I said it's none of your business." He slams the door and start to head back to his room. "You lock i-"

Burr's POV

....what?

No, no, this can't be happening... she can't be gone.. she's so young!

I hold my phone in my hand, trembling. "No-" I start to... sob. Uncontrollably. I collapse to the ground, shaking, crying..I drop my phone. "Th-theo..." I choke out.

Just then, I hear a knock at my door. Worst timing ever. Of course, I'm not answering it. I just caught word my girlfriend had died...

Over text...

By her father. Another knock. Leave me alone... I start to stop crying... start breathing, when...

Knock, knock, knock...

"Uhh... Burr? It's me, Alexander... Hamilton?" I hear, muffled by the door. I let out a shaky sigh and stand up slowly. I stand there for a minute, maybe 2, then walk out of my room to unlock the door.

I open it, to a thankful Alexander. He freezes up at the sight of me. Rude. Deserving though, I guess. I sigh shakily and inhale. "Are you c-coming in or not? I'm not standing h-here all day." I try to sound as normal as possible, but fail trying. Tch.

"Are you.. okay?" I mutter and turn away from him as he walks in uncomfortably under my arm. "Hm?" He asks. "I said it's none of your business." I slam the door and turn, walking to my room. "You lock i-" I feel a hand grab mine.
