Chapter Text
James wasn’t quite sure how he got himself into this situation.
He and Thomas were sitting on the latter’s bed, gossiping about Alexander Hamilton. There had been a rumor going around about how he slept with his best friend and coworker, John Laurens, because apparently one sex scandal wasn’t enough for him.
“You’d really think he’d have the decency quit sleeping around after the whole ‘Maria Reynolds’ incident.” Thomas complained. “I mean, the man has a girlfriend for pete’s sake!” James hummed in agreement. It wasn’t until the brief moment of silence struck when James noticed what they were doing.
Somehow their bodies had gotten tangled up. James was resting his head on Thomas’ chest. Thomas had one arm looped around him and the other was stroking James’ head softly.
Thomas must have realized it as well.
“James ?”
“Yeah?”
“This… This is gay.” Another bout of silence.
“Oh.” James said. He shifted awkwardly, slipping out of Thomas’ one sided hug.
““Where are you going?” Thomas asked.
“To the other side of the bed?” James actually had no idea where he was going.
“What? No, come back here.” Thomas said, patting the spot next to him. James just rolled his eyes and settled back down into his former position.
