Chapter 22

(Quick A/n: I literally finished this chapter 18/19 days ago. Wow is all I can say. Sorry for the lack of consistency! I have many drafted chapters for all of you, though. Hope you like the chapter!

~Your POV~

When we entered the room we'd be staying in on the ship, I turned to both men.

"So, when are you two gonna profess your undying love to each other and get married? Adopt a few kids... Ooh! I'll be the godmother!"

"Y/n, erm, guys aren't supposed to like guys."

"Yeah, James is right. Even if we got married in private, someone else would find out."

"How about James moves in with us? No one will find it suspicious because the three of us are friends. You two can adopt children, and I can always act like a mother to them. No one will have a clue!"

"Y/n, this is a bit over the top, don't you think?"

"Says the guy in a freakin' magenta suit!" I stick my tongue out at him. I've became less formal around them.

"My fashion sense is beautiful! Right Jemmy?"

"J-J-Jemmy...? W-What?" He stuttered.

"Exactly. Told you." I laugh.

Thomas pouts, and James shrugs.

"Fine. We'll go with the plan. Just know that it's your fault if we get caught."

"Fine. Sure. Let's do this! Woohoo! Can I at least be the godmother? Pleaaase?"

"Sure. How about James and I each adopt one under our own names, and we make The Godfather the other?"

"Ooh yay! So I'll always be the godmother! Haha, yes!" I say excitedly.

James' face is a bit flushed from what we said. Thomas is flustered a bit, but he's not as bad as James is. James is in total shock. I feel a bit bad for him, Thomas and I are a bit enthusiastic. Just a bit, though. Aaron would flip if I told him that Thomas proposed to me. He'd hate Thomas. Possibly punch him. Actually, now that I think about it, he'd definitely punch him. A few times. Oh my. I just noticed that James is my only sane friend. Laf is a serial killer. Alex writes too much. Aaron would kill anyone that hurts me. Thomas is obsessed with Mac and Cheese and ice cream. And don't even get me started with George... George will "send a fully armed battalion" or "kill your friends and family" just to prove his love. His own words. Angelica is hyper-feminist. Eliza is a goo-goo-eyes over Alexander, still. Peggy is... I don't know. I haven't seen her for a while. I should ask Eliza and Angelica about her whereabouts.

~Laf's POV~

I just got a letter from Britain. It was from Y/n. On the front was written: DO NOT LET AARON SEE THIS! It was a bit excessive, but eh. Whatever. I fell in love with her. I opened the letter.

Dearest, Lafayette,

I have missed you. The ship back to America will leave on Monday. I am hoping that this comes before that Monday. That'd be weird. Anyways, I gotta tell you something. This is why Aaron can't read this. Thomas proposed to me. On the ship.

I almost choked on my tea when I read that. AARON IS GOING TO KILL HIM. That's why she didn't want want him to read it. Makes sense. I'll just kill him myself. Ooh, this will be fun~! No, Laf, read on...

Fret not, all of my heart belongs to you. I have missed you desperately. (Also, just in case you spit out your tea on this paper, I have a copy. This message is only on this letter, so yeah, you'll tell the difference.)

I laughed at this. Only Y/n would think of this.

I hope to see you soon, mon amour. Stay strong, and please make sure Aaron doesn't kill Thomas. I don't want to lose another friend. I think you understand this the most.

-Yours forever,
          Y/n L/n

I fold the letter. I miss her so much. It's not like she's gone forever, I just really want her back. Her voice, her touch, her comforting personality. I miss it all. I wipe away the tears. Y/n will be back.
