(A/N: lmao sorry this is so late)

(also, fun fact: I have a really stupid Hamilton Instagram called @mangomusical if u want to follow it but I don't recommend it it's just a giant meme #shameless-self-promo)

Alex's POV

It was breakfast at the Hamilton's, which really meant me ranting about something while John ate pancakes and I drank coffee. Philip just poured syrup on the floor and ate pancakes, but I didn't really mind. It was cute and I could clean it up.

"Um... Baby? Can we talk about something?" Asked John casually, and I finished chewing bacon.

"Uh... Yeah. Of course we can. What's up?" I asked.

"Well um... Would it be okay if I had to go to South Carolina for a week?"

I raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you say that you hated everything, everyone, and every aspect of South Carolina?" I asked.

"Well... Yeah, but the aquarium is having this great opportunity with the endangered turtles on the beach there. PLUS, they're having one of their first pride parades in my hometown, and I thought I should go. It's like my gay™ duty. Plus, I just want to see my hometown. I know that everything that happened is horrible, and like... fuck-" he looked at Philip.

"I mean frick South Carolina, but it would be a great opportunity."

I shrugged. "You can do whatever you want to do. It seems like you'd really have fun with the turtles." I said, and he kissed my cheek.

I checked Facebook, and almost screamed.

"JOHN LOOK AT FACEBOOK!" I screamed, and shoved the phone in his face.

"Wait, why is Laf wearing a ring pop? And why's he inside a bathroom?" Asked John.

"Look at what it says!" I yelled. John choked on a pancake.

"Oh my god! They got engaged! That's amazing! I gotta go call the meme team. Say congrats and shit." Said John.

"Hey, watch your language. There's a young Philip present." I said, pointing to Philip who was currently smearing butter on his face.

"Relax, he can't even say words besides shit fuck."

"Dada!" Philip squealed.

I gasped. "Did he just say 'dada'?" I asked.

"I think so. What did you say, Philip?"

"Da-DAAAAAAAA!" He said, and laughed again.
