Past Life Lessons (A Lams Fanfiction)

So This Is It

It was May twenty-seventh and Alex never thought he would be so upset about the school year ending.

His first year at university had been rough to say the least. Sure he had met some of the best people that he could only dream of meeting, he finally understood who he really was, on top of all of that he walked out of it with a super amazing, awesome, and perfect boyfriend. What more could he ask for.

But even though he had all of those wonderful things school was still school. It was hard and Alex had spent many sleepless nights wondering if he would pass his next exam. He was Alexander Hamilton, he pulled through despite it all (and sure John did have to forcibly pull him into bed sometimes) he made it out to the other side.

Then again he was only a freshman and it was only bound to get harder and harder as he continued in his college career, that was something that he would have to worry about later though; when school finally started back up in the fall.

There was still one pressing matter that Alex had refused to think about though, and it was very important.

He laid on John's bare mattress, having already packed away his sheets, John was packing up a few smaller things and was almost ready to leave. "Where are you going?"

It was a simple question but Alex hadn't had the guts to ask it. The situation between John and his father hadn't gotten any better over the months, he wasn't able to go to Christmas with his family and had stayed with a couple of their friends over break. Their friend group was pretty open to letting John drift through and sleep on their couches.

John halted for a moment, a textbook in hand waiting to be put in its bag, "I'm staying with Laf," he turned to Alex and flashed a smile, "Turns out that even in this life Laf's loaded with cash."
Alex's eyebrows furrowed, besides the outing of who his father was nobody really talked about their parents. Of course Alex knew all about John's current parental situation but that was about it.

"What do you mean?" Alex asked, sitting up and looking over at his boyfriend.

John laughed to himself which only confused Alex farther, "I'm not surprised you don't know, but Laf got adopted by the Washingtons." 

Alex sat silently, his jaw hanging open, this caused John to laugh even harder. "You're kidding me! The Washingtons, as in General George Washington?!"

"Yeah Lexi," John turned back to packing his few remaining things, a smile still present on his face.

Alex didn't even blush at the nickname this time, it had become a common occurrence for John to call him that. He could only flop back down onto the mattress as he stared at the ceiling dumbfounded. Very quietly he let out, "My surrogate father is alive again and I was too dumb to ask."

John put his bag on the ground and walked over to the bed, where he too went and laid on, "Not dumb, maybe just a little caught up in some other things."

The two turned to look at eachother, stupid smiles plastered on both of their faces. Giggles escaped from the two men, soon enough laughter filled the room.

"I love being caught up with you." John said, his hand cupping Alex's left cheek.

"You sappy fool, I love you."

This caused enough fit of laughter to escape from John, "Only for you idiot." John closed his eyes as he leaned in to plant a kiss on Alex's lips. Alex wasn't as surprised about it this time around, dating a person for nine months can do that to a person.

As Alex and John were entranced with each other one very loud French person decided to barge into the room.

"OH, am I interrupting something?" The two men groaned a little at the breaking of their little scene.
