Hamilton (COLLAGE AU)

Coffee shop and Usnavi

ALEX'S POV

I wake up with a warm comferting feeling.. a feeling I had not felt in a long time.I opened my eyes only to see freckled arms wrapped around me tightly, it was, John?

Suddenly memories from the earlier night came flooding back.

The storm, the memories, the panic attack, John comforting me, and then after that complete  blackness, until now.

Why did he still care?

Why was he still trying to be my friend?

I just don't get it...

But

Maybe 

Just Maybe...

I can learn to trust again?

My thoughts were cut off my John stirring awake, I closed my eyes as to pretend that I was asleep.

JOHNS POV

I stirred awake, feeling something, no someone in my arms, it was Alexander. I was confused at first, but then I remember comforting Alexander last night. Why did I do that? Hes only been rude to me.. so why did I feel the need to comfort him?

I sigh, who knows. I shake him gently "Alexander, wake up"

ALEX'S POV

"Alexander, wake up" John said gently shaking me. But I didn't want to leave his arms, I haven't felt this comfort in so long.. but it had to come to an end sometime. I mentally sigh, I fake groan and pretend to stir awake. Suddenly realization hits me like a truck, I'm in John Laurens lap. It was fine when he was asleep but now hes awake.

I immediately shoot up with my face probably as red as a tomato.

"I-I-I Laurens I'm so s-sorry I-I should really b-be going now b-bye!" I yelped, I grabed my laptop and darted out of the dorm before he had any time to react.

JOHNS POV

Well... that was... fast.

Alexander darted out of the dorm before I had any time to react.

I sighed. I got out my phone to text the group and ask if they wanted to go to the coffee shop with me.

They all said yes, so I headed out to the coffee shop.

SKIPY SKIPY SKIP SKIP

Once I got there I saw Alexander? He was talking to another Alexander?????? WHAT?

I walked it and couldn't help but listen to their conversation.

"Alexander this could be a new way to make friends!" the man that looked alike to Alexander said.

Alexander sighed and put hi head in his hands. "I dunno Usnavi, I just, I'll, I'll try" Alexander said muffled by his hands. Usnavi frowns slightly "hey whadda we got left ta loose?" Usnavi asks "My pride" Alexander mumbles through a chuckle Usnavi laughs "like you ever had any". "HEY!" Alexander yells jokingly. "If you want your revenge you have to come and get it first" Usnavi said standing up. "Oh its on" Alexander chuckles, he chas Usnavi outside.

Wow.... I never thought I would see Alexander so happy.

Soon Alexander comes back in with Usnavi following him, both trying to catch their breath.

"Welp, breaks over" Usnavi says exasperated and gives Alexander a coffee. "On the house" Usnavi said with a smile. Alexander smirked "isnt it always" he said with a chuckle "yep now im going to get back to work" Usnavi said popping the P. Alexander goes and sits down and starts typing on his computer.

"JOHN!!!!!~" Peggy's enthusiastic voice pulled me out of my thoughts.

"Huh? Oh hey guys!" I said waving to all of my friends. I'm pretty sure Alexander just noticed I was here. 

"I'll go get our coffees" I hummed, Everyone nodded.

I walked up to the counter  where Usnavi was.

Before I could tell him the order he asked "same as yesterday?"I smiled and nodded.

"SONNY SAME ORDER AS YESTERDAY FOR JOHN LAURENS AND HIS CREW" Usnavi yelled to the back.

Before I could walk away I felt a hand on my shoulder  "Hey, could I, talk to you?" he asked gently.

I looked back and gave him a confused look "sure, what is it sir?" I asked. He looked over at the table with Alexander in it.

"Okay, you may not know me so let me introduce myself first. I'm Usnavi, I know I may look like Alexander, but surprisingly we aren't related at all, just came from the same town. Anyways, Alexander told me he had a panic attack in front of you last night... hes really embarrassed and I'm actually his only friend, he has a hard time trusting people and making friends. Hes thinking about trying to trust again because of you, and I am grateful to that. Please, go easy on him?" He said with sadness in his voice.

That surprised me, he only ha one friend? 

"I will" I said to Usnavi.

"Thank you, that means a lot to him and me" he said looking at me smiling.

I returned the smile. "Oh your coffees are done Usnavi said giving me a plate of coffees with everyone's name of them.

I gave him the money with a small 'thank you' and with that I was off.
