What The Heck I Gotta Do To Be With You (Lin-Manuel Miranda x Reader)

Knock Knock

"Um..." Lin's eyes were wide. "I don't know?"

You suddenly noticed the scene around you. A tub of ice cream was open on the counter with two spoons sticking out of it, paper planes were scattered throughout the room, and a stack of flowers laid next to the door.

You walked over to the flowers and picked them up. "I vaguely remember picking this from the garden outside my apartment."

"Right, uh, I think I said we should get married." You looked over at Lin, who was rubbing his forehead. "That was your bouquet. I kind of remember catching it then being excited about being the next one to get married- even though we had just pretended to."

You snorted, then looked around the room again. "Um, where's your shirt?"

"Ah, right."

You both searched your apartment, but came up empty ten minutes later.

"I mean, it has to be somewhere, right?"

Lin groaned suddenly, his hands over his eyes.

"What?"

"I think I took it off in the cab and left it for the driver as a tip."

You burst out laughing, gasping for air and leaning against Lin. "Oh my gosh," you said between laughs, your eyes watering. "That's amazing. That's so amazing."

"Come on," Lin said, but he was laughing too. "Besides, I'm pretty sure it was your idea to make paper airplanes 'so that poor countries could have paper.'" He used air quotes, and you rolled your eyes but smiled.

"Great, and the ice cream-" You stopped yourself, a memory floating to the surface.

"Liiiiiin!"

"Whaaaaaaat?"

You were sitting next to each other on the ground, furiously folding paper airplanes.

"R-remember that one time when we kissed?"

He scrunched up as his face, as if he was trying really hard to recall something. "Oh yeah!" His face lit up. "That was cool!"

"I know, right?!" You threw two airplanes across the room. "Wanna do it again?"

"Duh!"

You immediately grabbed each other, pressing your lips together sloppily. Lin deepened the kiss and you followed along, both of you going at a fast, drunken pace.

After a minute, you pulled apart, breathing hard.

"Hot diggity dog!" Lin exclaimed happily.

"That's exactly how I feel!" You popped up to your feet, and Lin followed suit. "How about ice cream to celebrate?"

"Of course!"

Lin tilted his head at you. "What?"

"Um..." You pulled yourself out of your daze. "Do you remember what the ice cream was for?"

He paused for a moment, thinking. His cheeks went pink and his jaw slackened. "Crap," he muttered, running his hands down his face.

"I know."

There was suddenly a buzzing noise in the room, and you both looked around in confusion.
