Chapter 38: French Whispers
There was something nostalgic about this. Herc and Laf sat across from eachother on the bed, while Laf attempted to teach him some basic French.
"Comment ça va?" Laf whispered
"How are you?" Herc said, making Laf nod.
"Ça va bien." Laf said next.
"Are you good?" Herc asked.
Laf giggled and shook his head. Herc make a noise of frustration, falling backward on the mattress.
" It means : I'm doing well." Laf corrected.
Herc actually appeared to be pouting, his arms crossed in a dramatic fasion. Granted the two had a few glasses of wine, but it still seemed out of character for him.
"D'accord," Laf said "lets try something easier?"
Herc nodded, pushing himself to sit upright again. He rested his head in his hand, waiting for the words.
"Bonjour?" Laf said.
"Hi." Herc responded.
"Au revoir?" Laf asked next.
"Goodbye." Herc said.
" Je t'aime." Laf whisperes.
Herc smiled this time,
"I love you."
Many years ago, Laf and Herc sat on the bed of their dorm room while Herc tried to teach Laf American slang words. Laf would tilt his head when he got confused and get so excited when he managed to guess correctly.
Now the tables had turned..On a cold December night, the two fell asleep while Herc tried his best to whisper French phrases, to spite the fact he would probably forget most of them tomorrow.
However he knew one:
Je t'aime tellement.

Im trying to crank out as many chapters as I can without having them lack the quality I usally try to keep consistent.
This scene was inspired by the song 'Sunrise' from In The Heights.
Sincerely,
Welp
