*NOT SO QUICK A/N*

this was an idea by intheplace2be.
They had this in a prompt book. I asked permission to write this about a week ago but they still haven't replied (the last time they did anything on wattpad was November 2017) So credits to her/him/it/them

I'm too lazy to remember all my frenching so if anyone is speaking French I'll just put:
this thingy since genuine ungoogle translated frenching is hard.

Also I'm doing the French man not using abbreviated words cliché. it feels more comfortable to hear a French accent speaking English without abbreviations
(i'm/you're/ain't/yesn't etc.)

Just try to read in a French accent cause autocorrect wont let me casually change words up for the sake of accents (like "ze dog" or something)

Lafayette's perspective
(Oohh das new)

Oh my god!

I am hosting a celebration called the blue moon ball. It is supposed to be a once in a blue moon celebration. It is actually just a royal ball my family hosts each year. I was in charge of hosting this year so I picked the theme blue moon. I have always admired the night sky so I thought why not make it the theme and so I did.

Everything was going perfectly, the decorations were amazing, the food looked delicious, the invitations were signed and sent to various royal families, and of course a few invitations for some non royals familiars. But not everything goes smoothly.

I stared at the maid in front of me with disbelief 

"We're sorry mr.Gilbert we couldn't contact him"

"What? Why! This can not be happening! The celebration is tomorrow I need this fixed right now!"

"We really are sorry mr.Gilbert, perhaps you can use a different suit?"

"No!"

I raised my voice, I should not have done that

"We're sorry mr.Gilbert, we'll try to contact someone else"

"Its fine, my apologies for yelling. I will walk around the city I will find another suit-"

"But sir-"

"No its fine, really. Maybe I will see something better"

"Okay sir, but maybe you should bring your suit just in case you see a good tailor"

I sigh

"It seems impossible on such a short notice, but alright I will thank you"

She nods and walks out to help with the last minute preparations

I took my suit out of the bag, it was a dark suit with a few splashes of blue, I was going to wear it with a black tie that had stars but unfortunately my suit had a hole.

I have no idea how it happened but agh there's a hole, they couldn't contact my personal tailor because he went to assist some artist somewhere.

My butler could fix this but he went on vacation.

I sigh again

Honestly all this sighing is bad for my looks. I stare at my suit.

Well it isn't going to fix itself, I went out and looked around to find a tailor or at least a suit.

________________

"Sorry you'll need to reschedule"

"Sorry its too last minute"

"We don't have any cloth like this"

"Sorry, cant help you"

"It can be available by monday?"

"We can fix it up, but it'll take a while"

"Sorry we have too many in line"

"We cant fix it up by tomorrow"

"Sorry we have other things going on"

These were all the answers I got, I was so desperate I even went to local places. I know I should just go find a different suit but this meant a lot to me. I wanted this to be perfect-no I needed this, this has to be perfect.

I continue walking around aimlessly until I saw a pretty good looking suit, it was rather impressive even if the store was-how you say-low class.

I went in to see a distressed lady furiously tapping on a calculator and quickly writing something down

I stand in front of her, she does not seem to notice me.

I fakely clear my throat. She continues to tap and write.

"Uh, excuse me?"

She takes a deep breath and glares at me

"What?"

"Oh uh-"

"Spit it out! We don't have all fucking day!"

I stood there dumbfounded

"Well I needed a tux fixed by tomorrow, there is a tear and-"

"No way in hell. We're having some tight deadlines here and we cant waste time fixing a hole in your fancy ass suit you rich bastard"

"I-"

"Sorry you're gonna have to go somewhere else, scram"

"Please, I really need to-"

"Fuck off will ya!"

I heard a gasp from the back of the room

"Clem! Is that any way to talk to a costumer!"

"No-i just-well"

He turns and looks at me

"I'm really sorry abou-"

His eyes widen and he kneels down I  front of me

"I am so sorry sir I didnt-"

I couldn't help but chuckle

"No no its fine, stand up please"

And so he did. The girl just stared at me, examining me

"I really am sorry, she's not from here so she doesn't know-"

"It is alright, she seemed stressed It was my fault too"

"What did you need anyway?"

"Oh right, well I needed my tux to be fixed, there is a hole"

"Oh right, could I see it?"

I nodded and handed him my tux, our hands touch for a brief moment.

Is it hot in here? I think its hot in here, I am getting a little bit sweaty, why is my face so warm what-

"This material is very nice"

"Oh! Yes, we had it custom made"

"Its beautiful, it seems nice to work with, I think I can get this repaired, I have this shade of blue I'll just have to make it look alike, but it will be made from a different material, would that be okay?"

"Yes! But, I need it by tomorrow would that be possible?"

He thought for a bit

"What time?"

"The afternoon?"

"A bit more specific would be nice"

"Oh! Uh perhaps maybe ten-ish...?"

He nodded

"Alright, where should I deliver this?"

"Hercules!"

The lady exclaimed,she had a worried look on her face

"Yeah clem?"

"We have to many things going on we cant just-"

"Clem calm down, its fine"

"But-"

"You're overthinking things, sure the deadlines are really close but I already did a lot of progress already"

She takes another deep breath

"But what if-"

"Its okay, have I ever lied to you."

His voice was so soothing, it was esctatic to listen to. She nodded and stayed silent

"Now where should I send it to, or is this for pickup?"

"Ah pickup would be alright"

He nodded

"Im Hercules by the way, Hercules mulligan, its an honor to meet you"

He said smiling, his hand in front of me waiting for a handshake. I put my hand in his and shake it.

What is this strange feeling so sudden and new

"I really am sorry for how clem talked to you, she's not usually like this"

"sorry"

She said quietly

"It is alright, is her name clem?"

"Oh its just a nickname, she's clementine"

"That's a beautiful name"

I looked at my watch and I realized I still have some preparations

"Ah my apologies time is running a bit short, I must go now"

He nodded and waved goodbye. I made my way back home, but I cant forget that beautiful smile of his

"SALLY!!!"

"Hey lookin for sal?"

"Ah Jefferson nice to see you again"

"Why you screaming so suddenly?"

"I just had a last minute request"

"Wow, you really are giving this your all huh"

"Yeah...why are you here by the way?"

"Aw cant I visit my stepbrother?"

"Alright stop smothering me"

He laughs, my mother died in am accident, she lived in france and wanted to visit here but the ship sunk and she wasn't one of the survivors. After a few years of grief my father remarried to a jefferson.

"Do you have any guests?"

"Hmm?"

He looks at me, and continued to hum

"Well~ lets say I have a date"

"Oh, you are bringing your boyfriend along?"

"Nah we broke up"

"Wait what! Why? You and James were so close"

"That's the point, we thought we loved each other but we both just wanted to stay as friends"

"And you did right?"

"Yeah he's dating someone else now, turns out he liked that dude the whole time and was just too shy to do anything"

"Oh so who is your date?"

"Well its not really a date, to be honest he doesn't even like me"

"Wha-"

"He was cute! Like hella cute! Like super goddamn cute-"

"Okay?"

"But like he hates my guts"

"PFFT-"

"Right?! So now I'm forcing him on dates until he falls in love with me"

"Well what do you think he feels? Perhaps you are forcing him a bit too much? He could be uncomfortable?"

"Nah he likes it"

"Strange"

He chuckles, a phone rings and he immediately runs towards it

I go to find sally to tell her I found a tailor...and two guests

______________

The ball went smoothly! Everyone seemed to have fun, no accidents occured. Jefferson was making a move on his date, his date looked uncomfortable but they seemed to get along. But the highlight of the night was when I got to dance with hercules! I invited him as a thanks for fixing my suit, he came with his coworker clementine. She is-how you say-different compared to when we first met, she seemed more 'chill' as Jefferson would call it.

But now that it is over I do not have any reasom to visit hercules. It would be weird to just walk in without any clothes

So that leads me to where I am, the thrift store. I never imagined myself going in a store like this, but desperate times comes with desperate measures

I barged in

"WhErE ArE ThE OlD DyIng ClOtHeS SeCtIoN!!!"

I was practically running around screaming but I didn't care

I bought a bunch of clothes and went to Hercules every week

Let us just say that he was starting to notice

"Why do you always come here?"

"My clothes?"

"I mean you don't even look like the type to wear these trashy clothes, and this is a girls shirt"

"Yes"

"Honestly though, why"

"Cause I like you that is why"

"You like me?"

"Fuck did I say that outloud? Oh no"

He laughs and winks at me

"Finally, I was waiting for a confession for so long"

He stood up and kissed me on the cheek

"I like you too"

My mouth was wide open

"You knew that I like you?!"

He nodded and continued to chuckle

"And you were waiting for a confession?!"

"Yeah, took you long enough"

Surprise its not jamilton! I was gonna make this angsty but of got lazy lol.

also clementine is an oc of mine, tbh not really? I was just searching for cute/sweet girl names and came across clementine.

When I made the draft for this its originally gonna be "she nodded with a sweet smile and led me to another room" but like Nah lets make her stressed

So now she's an oc imma draw her....some day idk

Orange was never a color I used for OCs so I wanted to do something different, I also never make dark skinned OCs so imma work on that some other time, I still need to think of character designs.

Also the name clementine reminds me of someone from gourmet hound, anyone else know that?

If you have any suggestions just tell me that's all whoop
