To the Present (Hamilton reacts+ xreader)

Blow us all away

I sat back down with Alex, we all shuffled seats and now it went like this

Phillip,me,Alex,John,Lafayette,
Hercules,SMFDR,and Washington

He was hiccuping and I ran my hand through his hair while John whispered things to him

[:Philip:]
Meet the latest graduate of King's College!
I prob'ly shouldn't brag, but, dag, I amaze and astonish!
The scholars say I got the same virtuosity and brains as my pops!
The ladies say my brain's not where the resemblance stops!}

Phillip flushed

"Uh pip.." Alex paused and hiccuped
"How old were the women you were sleeping with" he asked not even denying the fact he slept with some

"Uh not the old pop...word just uhm" Phillip couldn't seem to form a sentence

{I'm only nineteen but my mind is older
Gotta be my own man, like my father, but bolder
I shoulder his legacy with pride}

"What lega-OW"

{I used to hear him say
That someday I would

[Ensemble:]
Blow us all away

[Philip:]
Ladies, I'm looking for a Mr. George Eacker
Made a speech last week, our Fourth of July speaker
He disparaged my father's legacy in front of a crowd
I can't have that, I'm making my father proud

[Martha:]
I saw him just up Broadway a couple of blocks
He was goin' to see a play

[Philip:]
Well, I'll go visit his box

[Dolly:]
God, you're a fox

[Philip:]
And y'all look pretty good in ya' frocks
How 'bout when I get back, we all strip down to our socks?}

Phillip blushed a beat red while Alex and y/ns mouth dropped open

Thomas laughed "apple doesn't fall far from the tree huh?"

[Both:]
OK!

[Company:]
Blow us all away!

[Philip:]
George!

[George:]
Shh

[Philip:]
George!

[George:]
Shh! I'm tryin' to watch the show!

[Philip:]
Ya' shoulda watched your mouth before you talked about my father though!

[George:]
I didn't say anything that wasn't true
Your father's a scoundrel, and so, it seems, are you

[Ensemble:]
Ooooooooooh!

[Philip:]
It's like that?

[George:]
Yeah, I don't fool around
I'm not your little schoolboy friends

[Philip:]
See you on the dueling ground
That is, unless you wanna step outside and go now}

Y/n gave him a sad look, Phillip sighed

[George:]
I know where to find you, piss off
I'm watchin' this show now

Shh

[Philip:]
Pops, if you had only heard the shit he said about you
I doubt you would have let it slide and I was not about to

[Hamilton:]
Slow down

[Philip:]
I came to ask you for advice
This is my very first duel
They don't exactly cover this subject in boarding school}

"Uh I'm pretty sure it's 'don't duel settle your problems like grownups'"

[Hamilton:]
Did your friends attempt to negotiate a peace?

[Philip:]
He refused to apologize, we had to let the peace talks cease

[Hamilton:]
Where is this happening?

[Philip:]
Across the river, in Jersey

[Hamilton/Philip:]
Everything is legal in New Jersey...}

"Is that all your focused on?!" Lafayette scoffed
"Why are you encouraging this mon ami?"

[Hamilton:]
Alright
So this is what you're gonna do:
Stand there like a man until Eacker is in front of you
When the time comes, fire your weapon in the air
This will put an end to the whole affair

[Philip:]
But what if he decides to shoot?
Then I'm a goner

[Hamilton:]
No, he'll follow suit if he's truly a man of honor
To take someone's life, that is something you can't shake
Philip, your mother can't take another heartbreak

[Philip:]
Father

[Hamilton:]
Promise me
You don't want this
Young man's blood on your conscience

[Philip:]
Okay, I promise

[Hamilton:]
Come back home when you're done
Take my guns, be smart
Make me proud, son}

"Guns and smart don't belong in the same sentence" James said

[Philip:]
My name is Philip
I am a poet}

"Awe from his birthday song" James gushed quietly

{I'm a little nervous, but I can't show it
I'm sorry, I'm a Hamilton with pride
You talk about my father, I cannot let it slide
Mister Eacker! How was the rest of your show?

[George:]
I'd rather skip the pleasantries
Let's go
Grab your pistol

[Philip:]
Confer with your men
The duel will commence after we count to ten

[Ensemble:]
Count to ten!

[Philip:]
Look 'em in the eye, aim no higher
Summon all the courage you require
Then slowly and clearly aim your gun towards the sky

[Male Ensemble:]
One two three four

[Full Ensemble:]
Five six seven-}

Phillip frowned and looked away

Hercules gasped "Alex.."

Alexander looked down at his hands,
Y/n knew this hurt Alexander a lot but she was more focused on the man who actually got shot

Because that's what mattered
