john pov:

we all head in different directions, the schuyler sisters leaving to get bubble tea, and hercules and lafayette leaving to buy churros. alexander and i are alone together in the hotels. i look at alex, who's jumping on the bed childishly. i laugh.

"stop, you're making it all dirty! you're going to have to sleep in it tonight, remember?" i tell him. alexander shrugs and continues bouncing.

"i can deal with it."

i roll my eyes playfully and unlock my phone to record him. i tweet a ten second video of alexander jumping on a bed while laughing. a bunch of likes and replies roll in within minutes. i read the replies and interact with my fans.

lovelylaurens: that's cute!

bubblyoongi: at least he has his shoes off

hannahflow: looks like someone's having fun

SMOL: you guys would be super cute together

i laughed a bit at that and decided to mess around with them. i send a reply.

you have just replied to SMOL: yeah, i bet 😳

i chuckle at myself and shut off my phone.

ping!
ping!
ping!

i saw notifications that were all from twitter. i quickly opened up the app and saw an influx of likes and retweets. people were freaking out in the replies and making suggestive comments.

"john! get off your phone and talk to me, i'm getting so bored." i hear alexander say as i'm going through all the replies. i turn and look at him, alexander's sitting cross-legged on the bed with a little pout on his face. i find myself rolling my eyes again.

"you're acting like a child, what's up with that?"  i ask him. he lets out a little huff.

"what's wrong with being childish once in a while?"

i laugh while he uncrosses his legs and leans against the head board.

"well, you're childish all the time, not just once in a while." i say teasingly. alexander shoots me a pouty expression.

"you're such a jerk, you know that right?" he says light-heartedly. i shake my head a bit.

"i'm not a jerk if i'm telling the truth." i say. alexander breaks into a grin. i watch as he grabs his phone from the nightstand. i get a notification from twitter. alexander liked my tweet and replied to it. i quickly open the app up.

actuallyalexrants: don't expose my childish acts

i like the reply and look up from my phone to see alexander staring at me from the bed. i raise an eyebrow. he smiles and looks away and i feel my face get a bit hot again. if only he knew the things he did to me.

"you know, i always catch you staring at me." i blurted out. alexander looks at me again. i see a brush of pink across his cheeks.

"whatever. you always flirt with me anyway." he mumbles. i heard it loud and clear.

"i'm sorry, do you want me to stop?"

"..no. it's fun, i think." alex says softly. i feel my chest tighten a bit. "it's just for fun anyway." my chest deflates at that. i felt a little pang of hurt. heavy silence hung in the air. after what felt like eternity, i open my mouth to say something.

"hey, uh, i'm gonna go down to take a walk." i say to him, awkwardly. alexander blinks at me.

"oh, okay. make sure to stay safe. can't afford to lose such a baddie like you." he jokes. my face contorts into a lopsided smile. i leave the room and take a walk with no destination in mind.
