Lafayette had no idea where Alex was taking him. All he knew was that they had been drinking some coffee and when Alex had mentioned that they hadn’t had the chance to sing their showtunes. The way that Alex actually looked genuinely disappointed made Laf so disappointed that he suggested that they could go to the park and sing them out loud.
He didn’t think that Alex would take him seriously.
Suddenly Alex lit up and started talking about a certain place in this park and how he would take Lafayette their.
Here they were, sitting under a willow tree while Alex was pulling his iPhone out of his pocket.
“What’s your favourite musical?” Alex asked, scrolling through his library.
“Is it cheesy if I say Les Mis?” Laf asked
“Yes!” said Alex giggling as he did “But seriously? We need to sing a duet!”
“Do you have Bonnie and Clyde?” asked Lafayette slyly
“Yeah which song- oh my god!”
“You love who you love.”
Laf swayed with the familiar intro, ready to begin.
Then Alexander opened his mouth.
Holy fuck he was like an angel.
It was like the clouds above had cleared and the light shone down from the heavens had given him this fucking angel. It was so good that he almost missed his cue to join in.
“That was fantastic,” said Laf, “I don’t think I’ve heard anyone sing better.”
Alex just beamed at him.
Laf wanted nothing more than to kiss him.
He leaned in, cupping Alexander’s cheek as he did.
“Is it okay if I kiss you?” Lafayette whispered quietly
Alexander didn’t respond but just kissed him.
Lafayette could feel the smile in the kiss.
