"lee do you yield?" I yelled.
"you shot him in the side yes he yields." Aaron yelled holding lee up.
"I'm satisfied." john said I tried to tell him to listen and not to duel lee but, he wouldn't listen to me. he's just so stubborn and he's going to end up getting himself killed.
"yo we gotta clear the field." burr said. it was starting to rain and it was getting slippery.
"go we won." I yelled.
"uh oh" john said I turned around to see Washington riding up behind us on his horse.
"what is the meaning of this?" Washington said looking between me john burr and lee. "burr get a doctor for the general." he continued giving lee a sympathetic look.
"yes sir." burr said walking off towards the camp.
Washington tuned to lee who was laying on the ground holding his side." lee you will never agree with me but believe me these young me don't speak for me. thank for your service."
"HAMILTON" Washington yelled.
"sir." I said quietly I looked up at him to meet his gaze.
"Meet me inside." (dont u dare)
Washington rode off to his tent waiting for me. I walked there slowly with john. "this sucks." John said "he was the one talking shit why are you getting in trouble for defending Washington?"
"I don't know john but we should've listened to Washington when he told me no."
"well alexander if it helps any I'm sorry I never meant to get you in trouble."
"it's fine john." I said walking to Washington's tent he just stood there and I couldn't look back at him I know he felt bad but he shouldn't it wasn't his fault.
time skip~~~~~~~
I stormed out of Washington's tent angrily long story short I got cut meaning I have to go home all because of lee! as I was walking to my tent I stopped at the infirmary. I was going to give lee a piece of my mind. I walked in and to my surprise, it was completely empty except for lee. he laid there with his war coat on and I could see the bandage around his abdomen. I couldn't help but feel guilt, he has to go home for good; I may be able to come back. my thoughts were interrupted by lee opening his eyes,
"what the hell do you want?" he said.
I sat down on the edge of the bed across from him, "well I'm not gonna lie I came here to give you a piece of my mind."
"well spit it out then." he said in a nasty tone.
"but I decided not to." I said looking down at the floor, "I just want to know why?"
"why what." he said while trying to sit up I rushed over to him to help him but he pulled away, "I don't need your help alexander." He said wincing as he sat up.
"okay," I said awkwardly. "so why did you talk shit about Washington?"
"why do you think? because I was scared." he admitted.
"scared of what?" I said moving to sit on the bed next to him.
"scared of death alexander, something that you have no idea about. I knew when washington put me in charge that would be super dangerous and i kept telling him not to, but he said i would be discharged dishonorably if i didn't."
"I just don't understand." I said.
"What's there to not understand? I love my family and I can't leave them for a stupid war that's why I'm glad john shot me so that I could finally go home."
"so all this time you just wanted to go home?" I said.
"pretty much." lee said. leaning back against the wall and closing his eyes.
"oh," I said, I was speechless. I never thought of doing anything other than serving in the war for a while. I've never imagined what I would do if I wasn't fighting and that got me thinking what am I gonna do when I get home?
"look." lee said drawing me away from my thoughts. "I know that you think that being in the war is everything and that you won't feel as accomplished if you don't serve but there is so much more than that and honestly in my opinion I think that you'd still be an amazing person if you didn't serve in the war."
"uh thanks." i said my cheeks turning a rose color.
"ow" he said while wincing his bandage was starting to leak blood I got up and went to the supply cart to get bandages and other things to clean up his wound.
"hamilton you don't have to-"
"no, let me the help." I said sternly.
he agreed and I slowly took off his bandages I unwrapped the bandage and cleaned the wound. It looked bad but not that bad I think he'll be okay.
"I'm sorry." lee said I looked up at him.
"It's okay lee you didn't do anything wrong you did the honorable thing and shot at the sky." (Ik it's not historically accurate.)
"Can you write to me?" Lee said "I want to stay in contact."
"Sure I guess." I said while wrapping the new bandage on his cleaned up wound.
"Uh, thanks." lee said a blush spread across his face. we just stared at each other for a while like a deep intense gaze. a gaze that you do when you're about to kiss someone.
Our faces moved closer and closer until our lips connected. it was the BEST kiss. there was so much passion in it and I knew right then I didn't want him to leave.
"Don't go." I said pulling away breathing heavily.
"I have to Alex." lee said "but hey um if you're not doing anything when the war is over we could have lunch?"
"Of course." I said wiping away the couple of tears on my face.
"When the war is over."
