Say Something (Lams, Mute!Alex)

Chapter 16

John's POV

I couldn't believe it! This boy was mine! The kid I've had a huge crush on for... I don't know how long liked me back! I completely melted into the gentle kiss before pulling away at the sound of knocking at the door. I walked over and opened it.

"Have you two confessed your undying love yet?"

"When's the wedding?"

I rolled my eyes. "Well if it isn't my two favorite shippers. Come on in." I gestured for them to enter, which they did.

"Okay, can you two kiss now?"

"Yeah, I need a picture."

"Uh, why?" I cocked my head and looked at Alex, who was just shaking his head with a small, amused smile.

"Uh, because, you're our OTP and we need pictures to live," Peggy said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"I think that's an exaggeration."

"No, no it's really not," Sam said.

"Where's everyone else?"

"Class," the two shippers said in sync.

"Well okay then."

"So will you act all cute around us or not?"

"I dunno. Alex, what do you think?"

"Let them suffer," Alex signed with an evil smile.

"Alex, you've betrayed us," Sam said with a betrayed look. Alex just shrugged.

"Hamilton, you were supposed to be on our side here," Peggy said, sharing the same look. Again, Alex just shrugged, looking amused.

"Judas, no," Sam whispered, which caused everyone to snicker a bit.

"So why are we still here if they won't act cute around us?"

"Because you know they will if we leave."

I turned to Alex and whispered "Do they know we're dating now?"

Alex shook his head, then signed "Unless they were eavesdropping outside the door."

"Very possible," I chuckled.

"We were not eavesdropping," Peggy scoffed. "Who do you take us for?"

"Obsessed cult leaders," I replied.

"Well... I'd argue, but I'd be lying."

"Yeah. So can you guys leave?"

"Nope."

"We aren't leaving until we get pictures of our OTP."

"Well, you'll be staying for a little while, then." Alex nodded in agreement with me.

"C'mon, just one little kiss?" Peggy begged.

I shook my head with a smile. "Sorry. We are not a couple to be used for your entertainment."

"Uh, yeah you are," Sam said.

"Yeah, the readers need da Lams. Give us da Lams."

"Peggy, stop breaking the fourth wall. You're gonna hurt their minds. Plus, you're gonna make people mad at the author," Sam whispered, glaring at her to shut up.

"Nah, they're just glad they have this chapter to read. They won't care."

"Uh, what are you two talking about?" I tilted my head in a confused manner.

"Well you see, my dearest Laurens," Peggy smiled, "we're all just-" Sam covered her mouth.

"We are all perfectly real, perfectly normal people. Right, Peggy?" She rolled her eyes, but she nodded.

"Can you guys leave now? You're confusing me."

"Nope. Not until you two give us da Lams," Peggy said.

"Just a kiss? Then you'll leave?"

"Yep. It's that easy." Both of them pulled out their phones to take pictures.

"John? Can we? They're just going to keep confusing us if we don't."

"Mmm, alright." I walked towards Alex and smiled down at him. Bending down a little, I connected our lips, trying to ignore the squealing from the fanboy and fangirl. If they weren't in the room, I'd've let the kiss last longer, but I pulled away after a moment and turned to them. "Now get out of our dorm."

"Of course! We got what we came for." Peggy smiled widely, jumping off of my bed. Sam followed her lead and they left the room.

"Finally."

"So what do we do now?"

"Well I was thinking we watch movies for the rest of the day."

"Well, neither of us have class today, so okay."

"Cool. We're watching RENT first. Then Les Mis. Then Newsies."

"I have never heard of any of those."

"What? Oh man, we gotta educate you on musicals."

"Okay..."

"Alright. Let's go. We got musicals to watch." I took his hand and moved him to my bed. I sat him down and put the first movie in the DVD player before grabbing the remote and sitting down next to him. He cuddled closer to me, and I smiled before playing the musical.

Okay, this is the shortest chapter, but I don't care. I'm one, tired, two, stressed, and three, out of fucks to give. Can anyone donate? Nah, I'm kidding. I am tired and stressed though. I just wanted to update before school starts next week. So, here's a short update. It's like 668 words, no joke. But eh. Are you complaining? Please don't complain. It was a filler chapter anyway. So as always, I hope you enjoyed the chapter, and please don't be upset that it's so short. This was more of a humor chapter. Also, I may end up breaking the fourth wall more often in the future. You can't stop me. Have a nice day!
