Chapter Text
Aaron Burr, Was a shy child. He was one to stay inside and read and play with his toys, But it all changed...When Alexander Hamilton moved in right next to him. Aaron was outside on the lawn reading his comic books, And petting his tortoishell she-cat Theodosia. When suddenly, He heard the possibly most loudest sound that his little ears could fathom.
"What the-!?" Aaron said as he covered his ears in pain.
"Who's making all that stinking noise!?" Aaron muttered, meant to be directed to his cat, but more of a muttering to himself, for his cat had been scared off by the loud noise.
The only thing separating the houses in his neighborhood where little white picket fences, He lived in a suburb to be correct, so there was always a good amount of noise around the area, But never was it this loud! Aaron at first, decided to wait a moment, to see if the noise would stop. It continued for five minutes and Aaron became impatient and walked slowly over to the picket fence, peeking over it. It was only 8:00 AM, and in the summer, so folks were either out in the town or still sleeping.
Aaron had a feeling of butterflies in his stomach for some reason, He was naturally shy but he was mentally freaking out. But, He did have a reason for feeling so, Princeton was a very small town, and they never got many people, not even visitors! So when theres a new face in town, Everyone is a bit on edge.
What Aaron saw over the picket fence was a house, very similar to his, and a big white moving truck, movers were hauling furniture items and such, Aaron did not see any grown-ups around. Strange...Grown-ups always seemed to be around...
"HIYA NEIGHBOR!"
Aaron screamed at the top of his lungs as the face of another kid he did not know met his. Aaron had jumped up and backed up, The boy had tan skin and long hair that went over his ears at least, along with brown hair. He was sporting a striped t-shirt tucked into a pair of jeans with a belt, and what looked to be like new sneakers! They were way cooler than Aarons battered up old sneakers, And his clothers were WAY more mature than Aaron's blue overall shorts!
"I-I...w-wasn't peeking or any...anything I was just...just..." Aaron sputtered as the strange looking kid had leaped over the fence, He landed fairly well.
"Haha! Your funny! I was just trying to scare ya!" The boy chuckled as he held his stomach. Burr glared at him.
"Were YOU the one making all that racket over there!?" Aaron asked.
"Racket? Oh, Thats just the movers, and I was playing some records!" The boy said.
"Why were you playing records?" Aaron asked as he crossed his arms.
"Because I like the music, silly!" Alex said.
"Anyways, My name is Alex, Alexander Hamilton, nice to meet ya!" Alex said as he offered his hand to Aaron.
Theodosia walked up, meowing to be held by Aaron to which Aaron picked up the cat, petting her gently, her fur covering his mouth. "Pleasure." Aaron said behind the soft fur of his cat and took his hand reluctantly.
"Im ten how old are you?" Alex asked him with an energetic smile.
"Nine and a half." Aaron said. Alex was looking at Theodosia, hands on his knees.
"Awwww what a cute kitty! Whats her name?" He asked.
"Theodosia." Aaron said quickly. Alex then looked down at his comic books.
"Woah! You read comics!?" Alex asked amazement on his eyes. Aaron looked up a little bit from his cat.
"Uh...yeah." Aaron said with a little smirk.
"Oh WHAT!? YOU HAVE THE SPECIAL EDITION OF CAPTAIN AMERICA! OH GEE," Alex proclaimed.
"You read Captain America too?"
Aaron asked, excitement and awe had dwindled across his face.
"Totally! He's really neat! But Superman also is pretty peachy keen," Alex said, sitting down and staring at the comics with pure happiness.
"Yeah, Superman is pretty neat! But Captain America has a really long cool back-story that develops his character, I mean...Superman also has a kinda neat background but NOT as cool as Captain!" Aaron said passionately, a smile now on his face.
"Whhaaatttt? H-How do you know that!?" Alex asked, bewildered.
Aaron picked up a certain comic that had special art on it of Captain America.
"This one! Its a special edition! They only sold it for a month, luckily I snagged it!" Aaron said.
"WOWZA!" Alex exclaimed as he grabbed the comic quickly.
"Hey can I read these with you? You have a LOT of special editions!" Alex asked.
Aaron paused a moment. Should he really let someone touch his special edition comics? Especially someone he did not exactly know...Well, The kid seems nice enough, and they both have a love for comics. And he will be monitoring him, Its not like he let them borrow the special comics.
"Yeah sure." Aaron responded with a soft smile.
"REALLY!? Oh WOW!" Alex suddenly had hugged Aaron tightly, nearly making the other child fall over! Aaron stiffened, a bit repulsed by the sudden gesture of affection. Alex stopped hugging him and put his hands on both of Aaron's shoulders. "Your my new best friend!" Alex said as he playfully pinched Aaron's cheeks and made a little sound effect.
"Cut it out Alexander!" Aaron laughed as Alex pulled a face at him and then the two sat down in the early raw summer heat to read the comics, Aaron pondering the happy fact of his first official best friend.
