John POV
It had been about a week since the whole incident. My arm was fully healed and I didn't need the sling anymore, also Alex finally got his new door!

I stood in front of my mirror, "Okay, today is the day I tell Alex how I feel." I said to myself. It's perfect! Lafayette and Hercules are on a date so Alex will be alone in his dorm, only problem is, it's raining pretty hard. Let's hope Laf and Herc don't cut their date short.

I walk out the door and head down to Alex's dorm, sadly I run into Jefferson on the way there. "So, I heard you had feelings for Hamilton." he said when he saw me, "And what if I do?" I asked

"He's a wreak. And he's taken." Jefferson replied, I rolled my eyes, "No, he's not taken. You're just a perverted dick. Stay away from him." I began to walk away but Jefferson continued speaking, "You'll regret confessing your feelings to someone so fragile." he said standing behind me, I turned around to face him. "I am not throwing away my shot." I said simply and walked away.

I heard the sound of thunder and prayed Lafayette and Hercules didn't decide to cancel. I reach Alexander's door and was about to knock when I heard something from inside. I sounded like heavy breathing. I didn't want to disturb if it was Lafayette and Hercules doing...things so I was about to turn around when I heard a sniff, I immediately knew it was Alex.

"Alexander?" I called, "Is that you?" the sound stopped for a moment, "John?" a voice said, the voice was muffled, "Yeah, can I come in?" I asked. He didn't reply, "I'm coming in." I said, I opened the door to find Alex sitting on the couch, tear stained face and covered in blood and wearing a bloody shirt. I stopped dead in my tracks.

I knew I can't panic because that wouldn't help the situation, so instead I sat down in front of him and grabbed his hands, "Look at me, Alex." I said, he started hyperventilating, "Alex I need you to breath. Slowly." I said, "Please, deep, slow breaths." he began to mumble, "I-I c-could-dn-nt-" I stopped him, "Don't talk, just breath."

After a few moments he began breathing normally, I got up and grabbed a warm, wet cloth and the first aid kit stored under the kitchen sink. I sat down in front of him again and began to dab the blood off his arms, he flinched at my touch but didn't say anything, after I wiped the blood off his arms I grabbed a bandage and wrapped it around.

I asked him to roll up his sleeves which he did to reveal his shoulders covered in blood as well, the same as his stomach.

It took a few minutes but I had finally cleaned and bandaged him up. I grabbed a shirt from his room and a blanket, he put the shirt on and I wrapped the blanket around him. I sat in front of him, "You ready to tell me what happened?" I asked, he opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by the boom of thunder, his eyes went wide as he grabbed onto me, I'm confused.

"H-Hey, it's alright." I said, he shook his head, "I'm a coward." he said, "A pathetic baby whose scared of the most stupid thing." I rubbed his back, "I'm sure it's not stupid, whatever it is, you have a reason." I said, "Everyone is scared of something, they may think it's stupid but everyone has their own reason to be scared of it." he looked up at me, "I-I'm scared of rain." he said, I looked at him confused, "Why?" I asked, he looked away.

"A few years ago, before I moved to New York, there was a hurricane." he said, "Almost everyone died, but for some reason I didn't." his eyes began to fill with tears again, "Everytime it rains, I can see all those dead bodies. They're just there, in my mind." I smiled slightly, "That, is a perfect reason to be scared of rain." I said, "I will never judge you for anything. And nor should anyone else." he looked back at me, "Thank you for opening up to me." I said softly.

He said nothing. He leaned in close to my face and before I knew it, his lips were on mine. Of course I was surprised but, I leaned into the kiss and kissed back. This is what I wanted.

After a few seconds, but it felt like years to me, we broke apart for air. I looked into his eyes, he has the most beautiful eyes. He smiled, "Thank you." he placed his head on my chest, "Stay." he said, I wrapped my arms around him and he snuggled up to me, he must have been extremely tired because he was out like a light. And in no time at all, so was I.

Thursday

I woke up to the smell of coffee, I look up to see Lafayette looking down at me, "Morning mon ami." he said, "Morning." I replied sleepily, he handed me a cup of coffee, "What happened?" he asked, I took a sip trying to remember last night, "Panic attack." I replied, he nodded his head and walked back into the kitchen. Alex began to move and he opened his eyes, "Hey~" I said, he smiled and sat up on my lap, taking the cup of coffee out of my hands, he took a sip.

"Morning Lafayette!" he called into the kitchen, "How are you today mon ami?" Laf asked walking out handing me another cup of coffee, "Better, thanks to John." he replied, "What time did you get home?" I asked, "Around eight." he replied, "Herc took a few pics of you guys." shit.

I opened my phone onto the group chat to see a picture of Alex asleep on my chest. And below it some texts from the girls.

Alex placed his head back on my chest and I ran my fingers through his soft hair, "Mmm, that actually feels really good..." he mumbled, I smiled.
