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

Come On Over!

Alexander's POV.

I sit in my bed, pouting. Why am I upset about this? It's trivial at best... it's not my place to make a stranger tell me how they feel.

But... why do I even want to know?  I usually never care about how random people feel.. hell, I've never been the consoler of the group. So... why did I feel a need to help him out? I'm so confused.

I hear a shuffling outside my door. I let out an annoyed sigh. I hear the shuffling stop and him sit right out side my door. I pause, but walk towards the door and put my back to it aswell, sitting down.

It's quiet for a minute, before Burr speaks up first, which kinda surprised me. "...I'm sorry..." he sniffles. "Hey, I'm not the one who should be saying sorry here!" I shoot back. "I shouldn't have forced you to talk about what happened." I finish. Burr is silent.

Finally, he speaks up. "...my girlfriend." He starts. "...she passed. Today." I hear his choke a sob. I gasp. "Oh, Burr... I'm so sorry for your loss.." he starts to cry. O just let him. First time I met him, I thought he was just an asshole.

Turns out he's just a man. With feeling, just like me.

I slowly open the door. He turns to me I crouch down and hug him. He pauses for a moment, but then hugs back, and sobs into the crook of my neck. I rub his back and whisper, note; VERY tame, sweet nothings into his ear.

About six minutes pass, and he calms down. He pulls away from the hug, and looks down at my sweater. "Oh, Hamilton... I-I ruined your sweater... I'm s-sorry--" "Heyyyy, it's fine. I have plenty sweaters. Also, just call me Alex."

"Alexander. T-take it or leave I-it." He chuckles, I laugh. "Fine. And your name Burr?" "...Aaron." I repeat. "I like it." I pat his shoulder and stand up. "Hey, talk to me anytime, alright? I'm always all ears." I give a reassuring smile. He stands up and nods, walking into his room. I close my door.

I run to my bed and flop onto it. He's... really cute...

I-I can't say that... he's probably straight since he just said he had a girlfriend.. even if he was bi or something, he just lost his partner so he'd be slow to get back into the dating game and-

Ring! Ring!

Facetime from Laurens. I take off my cry-stained hoodie and answer. "Hey Alex!" Lauren's shouts. "We're having a movie night!! Come on over!" Herc shouts just as loud. "Alright, alright I'll be over in a minute. Cyas then!" I hang up. Okay then, I've got plans.
