John Laurens is a shy 15 year old, in the closet. His only wish of this school year, is to be more confident about himself. Make friends. Maybe even get a boyfriend. Alexander Hamilton, an 18 year old senior, popular, and has a girlfriend named Eliza. Little did anyone know, girls aren't his only preference. (I know that Laurens is the one that's 3 years older, but John sounds cute as a shy kid. I also know this is probably crappy, and ive changed some details, such as Lafayette being three years older than Laurens instead of three years younger, and ive made relations between characters that aren't real. But i love Hamilton and i ship Lams). Cover made by me. Art in the cover photo isn't mine. Credit to the artist. This is all pretty badly written so be warned. There's also a part two but it's on hiatus.Complete![His Possession✔ [BWWM+Completed] (Wattys2018)](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/102493908-256-k645000.jpg)
