The Fishing Trip [✨Jamilton✨]

Chapter 17

Thomas POV

As soon as I step out of the car the front door swings open and out pours Lucy and Peter, followed by Elizabeth, who isn't going quite as fast.

"Tommy! We missed you so much!" Lucy exclaims, and hugs me tightly. Peter then gives me a side hug and smiles.

"Yeah, I haven't had anyone to beat at Mario Kart!" He adds.

"Uh huh. Hey, how did you guys beat me to my own house?!" Elizabeth chuckles.

"You're never on time, Thomas. Anyway, who's this?" She asks, being the first it seems to notice Alexander, who was standing awkwardly off to the side. He gives her a smile tentatively.

"Alexander Hamilton, but you can call me Alex!" After some introductions, Elizabeth herds everyone inside, where Mary, Randolph, Anna, and Martha are waiting, all hanging around the kitchen making something that smells delicious.

Mary notices me right away and greets me with a grin.

"Thomas! I missed you so much! Did you finally get a boyfriend?" She adds the last part in a slightly lower voice, looking over to Alex who was currently engaged in a conversation with Peter, laughing. 

"Not yet Mary," I laugh softly. "Although I may have my eyes on someone..." She squeals and hugs me tightly. Peter now seems to be deep in a rant about something or other, and Alex looks over at me with a helpless look. I just smirk at him and turn to help with the cooking.

Alex POV

"Oh come on, again?" I groan as Peter once again beats me at Rainbow Road on Mario Kart, and throw down the controller. "Alright, I've had enough, you are officially the champion!" I tell him, dramatically flopping back as if I were physically exhausted.

"Don't worry, I'll teach you to be as good as me so then you can beat Thomas too!" Peter smiles brightly at me, and I chuckle.

"Sounds good to me." I hear a loud gasp behind me.

"Pete, you're seriously turning Lex against me already??" I turn and see Thomas leaning on the door frame. I haven't seen too much of him since we got here, I guess he was helping with the cooking, but I'm happy to see him now. 

"Yes, we have an evil plan, you will never win another game of Mario Kart! Muhahaha!" Peter laughs, and Thomas just rolls his eyes.

"We have to go get our stuff and bring it to where we're sleeping."

After hauling my bags up a flight of stairs, I stop because Thomas turns with a sort of pink face.

"So uh, I'm guessing you want your own room, but um, if you want you could always sleep with me since it's like a different house or whatever-uh never mind oh my god I-"

"Yeah, I think I'll stick with you, I've always been nervous sleeping in different places anyway, and this house is like a fucking labyrinth." I say, and he quickly brightens up and starts walking again. Well that was a little weird. "Honestly Thomas, remind me again why a person would need 35 FUCKING BEDROOMS?"

"It wasn't so much a need, I just wanted to design a bunch of different rooms, and so I did." He responds snickering, and finally opens a door. 

"Ok, so there's a bathroom right through there-" I interrupt him right away after I see it.

"So, Thomas, my dear friend, would you like to tell me what the FUCK my eyes are seeing?" He gives me a confused look. I just start laughing hysterically, not being able to hold it in anymore. "Oh-oh my gOd, why why WHY??? You could just have a door? No, let me climb over my bEd to get to my office! Or no, no, is it more of a sliding motion?? Oh my fucking god I can't!" 

"Um, well there is a door. But uh, I don't know, I thought it would be fun?" He says, meanwhile I'm desperately trying to calm down, but every time  look at the fucking bed-

"You thought-you thought-" I wheeze and pinch the bridge of my nose. "That's got to be popular with the ladies, and men of course."

"Shut up." He tells me, but he's smiling so I know I haven't really offended him.

"Well, it looks-it looks comfy?" I offer, my face still breaking into a smile despite my efforts.

"Oh it is! I have missed this mattress," he says, but then I can't help but snicker again. Suddenly, I'm being tackled into the bed, my bags dropping to the floor. 

"Hey! I'm sorry, I couldn't help it!" I laugh. He simply pushes me back into the bed after I get into a sitting position.

"We'll see if you laugh after sleeping on that."

Thomas POV

I wake up to an adorable Alex snoring softly into my chest. I decide to get some work done on my laptop, so I lean to the side to get my bag, only to have a sleepy Alexander grumble into my side. 

"Sorry, I'm just getting my laptop, you can go back to sleep darling." I tell him.

"But it'll be coldddd," he whines back.

"Ok here," I adjust myself so my back is leaning on the headboard so I'm basically sitting up, then I swiftly scoop him up and place him in my lap so that his head leans on my shoulder and my arms are under his. "There, now you'll be warm, and I can do my work." He responds by shoving his face into my neck.

 I only get a few minutes though before my door swings open.

"Mary wanted me to tell you tha-oh." Elizabeth stops short, seeing Alexander. She wiggles her eyebrows. "We're not dating!" She mocks me, throwing her hands in the air. "Mary is starting breakfast, it'll be done in about 20 minutes." She says.

"We'll be down then," I tell her, rolling my eyes as she walks out the door.

"Mmmm, food." Alex mumbles into my neck. 

"We can go down now if you want, I'm sure there's some cereal or something." I suggest, turning my head towards him and closing my computer.

"Meh, I'm too comfy. So warm." He is being so adorable right now I'm literally going to explode.

"Hm, who are you and what have you done with Alex?" He leans back and yawns, rubbing his eyes.

"I guess you were right about how nice this bed is. I feel like a blissed out puppy right now." I smirk.

"Ah, I see. But I thought we agreed you're more of a cat?"

"Eh, same thing. I guess we can get up now." The absence of his weight on me is honestly affecting me more than I would ever admit right now, but I lead the way down to breakfast.

Woah, sorry if this chapter was  h o r r i b l e, I'm writing this at like 2am and my brain is not functioning. It's sad how much I want cuddles right now. Help.
