Lafayette x reader

dont- say no to this

its been about a week and everyone including lafayette has been pretty dodgy with me, which made me feel like something bad was going to happen but i tried to ignore it, which, was fine, but i still couldnt help but get anxious, i mean, why wouldnt they just tell me what was going on? i sighed and shook my head, i looked around, just seeing the papers on my desk that i had been reading under a few papers where my notes, i wrote down all of George washington current symptoms, they weren't bad but they wherent going away or getting batter, which worried me, i looked over everything just to hear a knock on my door "yes?" i questioned loudly

"aunt y/n? " philip questioned as he peeked his head in "uncle laf is here to see you" he smiled

i nod "i'll be there in a minute" i stood up and fixed my hair a little then walked to the living room where i saw laf watching alexanders kids play, he looked over and saw me then wrapped his arms around my waist

"hello mon amour" lafayette smirked down at me

i blushed "hi" i looked up at him

"are you free to go for a walk?" laf asked as he tilted his head to the side

i nod "yeah i am" i smiled at him

laf smiled brightly and held both of my hands "then lets go" he linked our arms and led me out the door, we walked the length of the city, as the sun started to set we walked to the park, i looked up at the sky, watching the sunset (see picture at start of capture)

i looked at alexander and stood up from the table, asking him to follow me, he did, i walked outside with him and look at him 

"alexander" i cleared my throat "i have something to ask you mon amie "

"what is it laf?" alexander questioned, his arms crossed

"..may i ask your sister to marry me?" i asked

alexander looked taken aback a little "do you even need to ask?! i mean- im glad you did, y'know out of respect and all but of course you can! oh do you have a ring picked out?" he asked, speaking rather quickly, he seemed excited 

"i..no..i dont...is that bad?.." i questioned

"no its not! lets go get look at some!" and before i could stop him, alexander ran in and grabbed his coat, putting it on as he walked out of his yard 

"alex!" i called as i went after him "its dark out, i do not think any place but the bars are open right now" 

"huh?..oh, right.." alex sighed "well, theres no harm in looking" he smiled, i nod and walk with alexander, no shops where open so alexander went back home, i went to my home

                                                                       six days ago, lafayettes pov

i woke up early and decided i'd go speak with george washington, who, was pretty much a father to me and my friends, as well as y/n, so perhaps i'd ask him for his blessing as well..just for fun of course, i walked the washington house and was soon let in, i walked over to george, giving him a hug before speaking with him about a few different things then i decided i'd ask him for his 'blessing' "monsieur washington, may i ask you an odd question?"

washington raised an eyebrow "sure"

"may i have y/ns hand in marriage?" i asked

washington chuckled slightly "of course you can lafayette" he smiled "i assume you've asked alexander already?"

i nod "oui, i just wanted to check with you as well, since you are like a father to us" i chuckled

"at least some of you think so.." washington smiled softly "may i see the ring?" 

"ah..oui about the ring.." i scratch the back of my neck "i dont have it yet" 

"you dont?.." washington raised a brow "are you not using the ring you left her with when you returned to france?" 

my eyes lit up, honestly i forgot about that ring "non... at least i wasnt...perhaps if i could find it i will" 

washington gave a small nod "stay here a moment" he said then walked away, coming back a few minutes later with a small box, he opened it and revealed the ring i gave y/n years ago, it was on a necklace chain "here..y/n has been over a lot recently and left this here one day, i put it away in this box to keep it safe" he said as he handed it to me

i closed the box and smiled "thank you.." i put it in my pocket, i finished my visit with washington and opened the door to leave, when i saw y/n, i froze a little, i had to say something, quickly "oh, mon cher what are you doing here?" i questioned, scratching the back of my neck 

"im here to meet with george, why are you here? we could have walked together if i knew you where gonna be here" y/n said as she looked at me

"oh uhm, i was just doing the same" i chuckled sightly "well i have to go now, enjoy your meeting" i then walked away, hoping y/n didnt try to stop me 

"oh uh..ok..bye i guess.." y/n said as she walked into washingtons house

                                                                     y/ns pov, present day

when i looked back at lafayette to ask him a question, he was looking  in his pocket, getting something "laf?" i questioned, which seemed to startle lafayette

"oui mon ange?"  lafayette questioned as he looked at me 

"are you alright?" i asked

"oui, i am fine" laf smiled at me

i nod "alright.." i looked back up at the sunset "its beautiful out this afternoon" i comment, closing my eyes and taking a deep breath 

"oui, but its not as beautiful as you mon amour" lafayette said softly

i blush and open my eyes "laf your too sw-" i cut myself off as i looked down and saw lafayette on one knee and holding a small box out, i froze seeing this

"y/n hamilton, i have loved you since i saw you at that winters ball all those years ago and i would love if you would be my wife one day" lafayette said as he opened the box revealing the ring he left me in the letter when he left for france
