So, usually John is the um, cutesy one, I wanted to switch that up. I hope you enjoy!

"History is so stupid." John muttered under his breath.

He was failing that class, but it wasn't the only class he was failing. It was because of his idiot father, who had really bad mood swings and was always drunk. John would almost always come home to see his father sprawled on the couch with a beer bottle in hand.

John's mom died of a cancer and John was still suffering from the sadness. Alexander was John's best friend since then, but today John just wasn't feeling it. Bad news for Alex to, because today was his confessing day.

"H-h-hey John."

"Hi." 

"What's up?" 

"The sky."

Alexander turned to face John, wiping his palms  on his jeans. John crossed his arms and shifted his weight to one leg. 

"I-I have something to tell you." 

John thought back to yesterday night, about his father slapping him and saying he would disown John if his grades got any lower. 

"WHAT!?!" John shouted.

Then he immediately covered his mouth.

"W-what?" Alexander asked, tears filling his eyes.

"Alex, I'm so-"

"No Laurens, I don't want to hear it." Alex said. Then he ran away.

John went to the park dropping his head into his hands.

How could he have been so stupid? He KNEW Alex was a sensitive person. Why did he do that?

His mind drifted to the day they met.

~¥~

John is sitting under a tree when Alex runs up to him. They are both 7. 

"Hey! Whatcha doin'?" Alex asked perkily.

"I'm making a flower crown for my mom." 

"Cool! Where is she?" Asked Alex looking around.

"Dead." John said simply, as he strung another daisy into the crown.

"I'm sorry."

"S'ok." 

"Well, my name's Alexander, but you can  all me Alex! Wanna be friends?" 

"Ok." 

Alex starts to make a crown. Once done, he sets the crown onto John's head. John smiles softly and places his crown on Alex's head.

~¥~

John realized at once where Alex was.

He ran to the tree and not to his surprise Alex was sitting under the tree stringing daisies into the crown. John ran up to him.

"Alex?" 

No response. John tried again. 

"Alex?" 

Alex looked up.

"Look, I'm so sorry, I was just thinking of what my dad did, I'm such an idiot, I'm so sorry. I promise I won't do that again, just...PLEASE forgive me!"

Alex stared at him for a minute, John started losing hope. Then Alex placed the flower crown onto John's head and kissed his lips.

John was shocked at first, but then kissed back. When they pulled apart for air, Alex said,

"I love you John, and I will always love you."

"I love you to Alexander Hamilton."
