Hamilton / Lams Oneshots

Adorablest and Aromantic (Philip - Fluff) [Highschool AU]

I had an idea for this, but I only got it once I was done, so here, take this generic shit I wrote.

"You knew I liked him, you knew it! You knew, and you asked him out anyways! What is wrong with you?!"
"Oh, so just because you were too scared to ask him out for two years I'm forbidden from making a move?! You're so selfish, it's disgusting! Either grow up and deal with it or go cry!"

An outsider could've never guessed the crying boy in the green cardigan and the dark skinned girl in the lavender dress used to be best friends. It had all been fine up until yesterday, when Georges, playfully called 'Trick' for his love for pranks, had seen Theodosia and their mutual friend Philip Hamilton kiss at the bus stop.

Of course, it would have been no problem, had he not have had a crush on Philip ever since they became friends. Theodosia had known about that crush, and still decided to ask out Philip. Georges had been sad and quiet, going home and locking himself in his room, crying himself to sleep.

But now it was the next day, and that sadness had turned into anger. Anger and frustration about the selfish move of his so called friend, the way she showed no sign of remorse, no hesitation in betraying her best friend since kindergarten.

"You're calling me selfish?! You could have atleast talked to me about it, and not done it behind my back! I love him, don't you get that?!" "Oh, and I don't?! I love him just as much as you do! You can't blame me for shooting my shot!"

Both of them were crying at this point, and none of them saw or heard the door open in their mess of emotion.
"Theo...? Trick...? What's going on...?" Philip stood in the door, a confused and yet knowing expression on his face. The two fell dead silent, with Georges starting to cry and sinking to the floor.

Theodosia was the first to speak. "What did you hear from that conversation?" He shook his head. "Enough... but, that's what I wanted to talk to you about..." Theo looked confused, and leaned against the wall. Philip stepped a bit closer to speak.

"Theo, I have to break up. I- it's not working out. Not because of you, I just... kind of felt obligated to say yes, because you're my friend... I'm aromantic." The room fell silent again, and after what seemed like forever, she mustered up a response. "That's... okay, I guess. If you're happy being friends, then I'm happy too." He nodded, and hugged her.

Theo hugged back immediately, and soon a third pair of arms joined in. Phillip laughed softly. "If it makes you feel any better, you two are the adorablest little shits I know." "Adorablest is not a word." "Oh shut it, you're the annoyingest, Trick!"
