John POV
I wake up to the warmth of Alexander's body clinging onto mine, he's still asleep so I don't move, I wish I could make this moment last forever. His head and arms are pressed against my chest and my arms are wrapped around his waist.

We stay like that for a few more minutes until he moves a bit, "Morning baby." I say, "Morning..." he mumbles. "So, what do you wanna do today?" I ask and he groans, "Come on Alex, I've never been here, show me some places! We can go out for breakfast and check out a tourist attraction or something." he sighs, "Or, we can order room service and stay here and avoid all human contact until I have to leave tomorrow for the meeting." he said and I roll my eyes.

"Come on! What's so bad about this place anyway?" I ask sitting up, he sits up too and looks me in the eyes, "John, I may be just some random collage immagrant back in New York but here I'm really well known." he says. "Is there a problem with that?" I ask, "Yes!" he yells.

"What's so wrong with being well known?" I ask, "No, you don't get it. Unless it's kids who have been born in the past six years or people who moved here in the past six years, everyone knows me!" he said, yeah sure, I'm pretty sure he can't be that famous.

"Come on, please? For me?" I say giving him puppy eyes, he glares at me until I break him, "Fine!" he yells and gets up, "Yes!" I say getting up as well, we shower, get dressed and leave the hotel to get breakfast. Alex avoids eye contact with everyone while we walk to a small Cafe.

We just get a cup of coffee and a muffin each. I don't want to admit it, but a lot of people were looking at Alex... Was he actually being serious about being well known? The waitress brings our coffee and muffins and I swear she checked him out.

"See? Humans aren't all bad." I say as he takes a sip of his coffee, "Do we really have to go to other places?" he asked, "Yes! And besides, the guys told us to bring them souvenirs." he pouts and eats his muffin.

"Hey, I can think of one good thing about this place." I say, "Oh yeah? What?" he asks, "Jefferson isn't here." I reply, he thinks for a moment and then looks around the cafe, "Is there something wrong?" I ask, "No, I was just making sure Jefferson didn't follow us here." he said and I laugh, "It's nice to be away from him." he says and I hold his hand, "See? This place doesn't just have cons!" I say, he squeezes my hand.

"Alexander Hamilton?" says a voice from next to our table, he looks away from me, it's a women, she looks to be in her thirties, "Yes?" Alex says, she just stares at him for a bit, "Wow, it really is you..." she says in awe, Alex began to look a little uncomfortable, "Yeah... Uhm, do I know you?" she shook her head, "No, you don't know me but I know you, you're really famous here." she said and Alex nodded his head, "Yeah, I know that."

"Can I get your autograph?" she asked and Alex looked at me begging for help, "Sure! Why not..." he said with nervous laughter, he took a napkin and wrote his signature on it, he gave it to her, she thanked him and left.

"See! This is why I didn't want to come here!" he whisper shouted to me, "One person isn't that bad, come on we can still have fun!" I say and he sighs again dropping his head onto the table getting the attention of a few others in the Cafe.

We pay for the coffee and muffins and leave, I begin dragging him around the area we were staying in because he didn't want to go any further. It was kind of awkward because people kept staring at him like he was Albert Eisenstein come back from the dead but we just ignored it, he was actually beginning it enjoy himself!

We entered a small shop to get something for the Meme Team and Christmas presents as well. Alex found a old fashioned fairy tale book that Peggy would absolutely love, problem is they put it on a high shelf. "Baby, can you get that down for me?" he asked pointing to the book, I smirked, "What? You too short?" I asked, he rolled his eyes, "Yes. I am short. I'd jump if I didn't have stitches on my stomach." he said.

I took the book off the shelf and handed it to him, he flipped through the pages, "Pegs will love this!" he said, I held up a mug with a cat on it, "You think Herc will like this?" I asked as a joke, Alex laughed, "I'm sure he'll love adding it to his collection." I laughed too and pulled him by the waist, "See? This isn't the end of the world." I say and he shakes his head, "No, it's not." I hold his chin up and kiss him.

"Oh my God! Alexander?" says a voice from behind me, we pull apart and I turn around to see another middle-aged women. Except this one, Alex knows. "Kathleen?" he says surprised, she walks forward and pulls him into a hug, he hugs back. "Wow, you look great! How long has it been?" she asks after they broke up the hug, "Six years." Alex says, "Wow, that long?"

"Whose this?" I ask a little sick of being ignored. "Oh right! John this is Kathleen, she was the reason I ended up in New York. Kathleen this is John, my boyfriend, we go to the same university." Kathleen and I shake hands, "Thats great! How long have you two been together?" she asked, "Almost two months." Alex replies.

"Oh that's wonderful! So I'm guessing you got the education you were seeking?" she asked and Alex nodded his head, "Oh that's great! Oh... I'm guessing I know why you're here." she said looking at Alex with sympathy, "Yeah, we're here to hear his will." Alex says, "Oh, honey I'm so sorry for your loss." she said hugging him again, "Peter was a great man. I wish he didn't end it." "Yeah..."

"Well I really should get going, Alexander, it was so nice to see you again. And it was nice meeting you John." she said, "It was great seeing you." Alex said, she waved goodbye and left.

We decided to finish quickly because it was getting late, we ended up getting Peggy the Fairy Tale book, Angelica some really nice soaps and bubble bath which I just know Eliza will try her best to get her hands on, we got Eliza a 'Beauty Box' which is just a bunch of really special makeup, we got Lafayette a really expensive pair of knee high boots or 'Stripper Boots' as Angie likes to call them and we got Herc a T-shirt that says 'Baguette'...we ran out of ideas.

Alex found this really cute stuffed teady bear that he thought might be nice for the little girl Washington and Martha were adopting, "Still can't believe I'm getting a little sister..." he said as we made our way back to the hotel. We ordered room service. Alex lay on my lap and I ran my fingers through his hair, "Tomorrow I get to hear my cousins will." Alex says staring up at the ceiling, we stay silent for a moment.

I kiss his forehead, "It's getting late." I say, we change and climb into bed, he snuggles up to me and I tub his back, "Night baby." I say, he kisses my cheek, "Good night."
